Raveche praises quality of today’s students
HOBOKEN, N.J. — Students earning their degrees this spring from U.S. colleges and universities can look forward to a bright future, in part because of their own skills, knowledge and talents, according to the President of Stevens Institute of Technology, Dr. Harold J. Raveche. Raveche discussed the outlook for new graduates recently on the Washington D.C.-based program White House Chronicle.
"I’m in awe of the talent of undergraduates going on to business schools, graduate schools, medical schools and law schools today," says Raveche on the program.
"I think these young people know a terrific amount," he adds, "and I think we’ll see them contributing to solutions to many of the world’s problems."
Stevens’ graduating seniors will go on to employment in high-tech industries or business, to enter law or medical school, or to earn advanced degrees in engineering, science or other fields. Their pursuits take many of them to successful corporations and prestigious universities throughout the country. Stevens’ rigorous broad-based curriculum and top-notch students earn high marks with employers and graduate schools.
Stevens’ undergraduate commencement is set for 3 p.m. Wednesday, May 24, and its graduate ceremony is at 3 p.m. Thursday, May 25. Both are in the Canavan Arena, Schaefer Athletic and Recreational Center, two blocks south of 8th Street and Castle Point Terrace in Hoboken.
