2023 MIT Commencement: Images from social media

June 2, 2023

The Class of 2023 had much to celebrate this week! We’ve compiled a snapshot of social media posts celebrating the new graduates, their families, their mentors, and others in the MIT community who helped make Commencement a success. MIT commencement speech tomorrow 😬. I’m not promising my graduation hat isn’t gonna fly away 400ft into the air at the end 🙂 https://pic.twitter.com/OMTvhBJ5IX — Mark Rober (@MarkRober) May 31, 2023 #MIT2023 Back to Boston and celebrating the commencement day!

In today’s MIT undergraduate commencement ceremony, students got a chance to walk across the stage on Killian Court and receive the ultimate reward for all their hard work at MIT — their diplomas. A day after MIT graduates from every degree program and school came together for the OneMIT Commencement ceremony, undergraduates and their loved ones once again gathered on Killian Court for a lively event that featured addresses by President Sally Kornbluth and Chancellor Melissa Nobles. As family...

Below is the text of Chancellor Melissa Nobles’ Commencement remarks, as prepared for delivery today. Thank you, President Kornbluth. And good morning, everyone! To the Class of 2023, I know this isn’t just any regular good morning. Am I right about that? That’s what I thought. No, this is one of those very good mornings – the kind that maybe seemed like it would never get here but, at long last, is upon us. This is more than your...

June 1, 2023

At today’s OneMIT Commencement ceremony, Mark Rober — engineer, inventor, and YouTuber — urged MIT’s graduating class to cultivate a sense of optimism and collaboration, and, in our uncertain world, to “pick what you think is the best path and just move forward.” A warm and sunny Killian Court served as the setting for a festive and energetic event, with thousands of graduates in attendance with family, friends, and MIT community members. Rober encouraged graduates to positively impact the...

June 1, 2023

Below is the text of President Sally Kornbluth’s Commencement remarks, as prepared for delivery today. Anna, and A.J. – thank you both, for your remarks and for your leadership. There’s an old piece of wisdom from show business: Never follow an act with kids, or animals – or, as we’ve just seen…with Mark Rober! But since A.J. and Anna rose to the challenge…I’ll give it my best shot too. Technically, as president, it’s my role to deliver “the charge to...

Driven to driverless

May 31, 2023

When Cindy Heredia was choosing an MBA program, she knew she wanted to be at the forefront of the autonomous driving industry. While doing research, she discovered that MIT had a unique offering: a student-run driverless team. Heredia applied to MIT to join the team, hoping to get hands-on experience. “My hope is that we’re able to find ways to leverage tools and technologies, such as ride-sharing and autonomous vehicles, and harness the variety of modes available to serve...

He made linear algebra fun

May 31, 2023

The following series of numbers might help to summarize the MIT career of MathWorks Professor of Mathematics Gilbert “Gil” Strang ’55, who taught his last class on May 15. 3+2+61=66, or 75% of his life Strang has spent 66 of his 88 years at MIT — as a student, an instructor, and a faculty member. “There were about eight math majors then,” says Strang, a William Barton Rogers Scholar who took just three years to graduate from MIT with...

May 31, 2023

Arnoldo Hax, the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Management Emeritus at the MIT Sloan School of Management and an operations management expert who introduced a customer-centered approach to competitive strategy with his Delta Model, died April 20. He was 87. Hax joined MIT Sloan in 1973 as a member of the Operations Management group. An industrial engineer who believed that management could be improved through rationalization, Hax was an early member of the strategy group at MIT Sloan, and...

A more effective way to train machines...

May 31, 2023

Someone learning to play tennis might hire a teacher to help them learn faster. Because this teacher is (hopefully) a great tennis player, there are times when trying to exactly mimic the teacher won’t help the student learn. Perhaps the teacher leaps high into the air to deftly return a volley. The student, unable to copy that, might instead try a few other moves on her own until she has mastered the skills she needs to return volleys. Computer...

New tool helps people choose the right...

May 31, 2023

When machine-learning models are deployed in real-world situations, perhaps to flag potential disease in X-rays for a radiologist to review, human users need to know when to trust the model’s predictions. But machine-learning models are so large and complex that even the scientists who design them don’t understand exactly how the models make predictions. So, they create techniques known as saliency methods that seek to explain model behavior. With new methods being released all the time, researchers from MIT...

May 30, 2023

CoCo is a new co-creative learning platform that empowers educators to engage children and teens in an endless variety of collaborative creative computing experiences with peers — regardless of whether they are sitting next to one another in a classroom or connecting remotely across continents. The platform supports real-time collaboration across multiple types of interactive environments, including those for block-based coding, text-based coding, digital art, and creative writing. The co-creative programming environments in CoCo currently extend and build on...

Facing up to democratic distrust

May 30, 2023

In October 2020, two rival candidates for office in Utah made an unusual television ad together. Incumbent Republican Gov. Spencer Cox and his Democratic challenger, Chris Peterson, appeared in the same spot to note they were both “dedicated to the American values of liberty, democracy, and justice for all people,” as Cox said, and that “our common values transcend our political differences,” as Peterson put it. Such reassurances are unusual, however, and can be overwhelmed by other messages. Indeed,...

A telescope’s last view

May 30, 2023

More than 5,000 planets are confirmed to exist beyond our solar system. Over half were discovered by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope, a resilient observatory that far outlasted its original planned mission. Over nine and a half years, the spacecraft trailed the Earth, scanning the skies for periodic dips in starlight that could signal the presence of a planet crossing in front of its star. In its last days, the telescope kept recording the brightness of stars as it was...
