What’s your reaction to graduating? What will you remember most about Berkeley?

Reza Kamrava, EECS
Hometown: Los Angeles
Plans: Graduate studies at USC
I have no reaction at all. I still have more school! Memories? Every-thing is memories.

John Dao, ME/MSE
Hometown: Milpitas
Plans: Summer internship, then grad school or work
After May 19, I’ll feel liberated. I’ll miss working with my ME 107b team members.

Shilpi Verma, IEOR/Business
Hometown: Fremont
Plans: Work in consulting
I’m so sad! I can’t believe it’s almost over. I want to redo Cal. I’ll miss hanging out on Sproul Plaza and going to all the football games.

Alex Yasutake, ME
Hometown: Sacramento
Plans: Work, hopefully in the automotive industry
I’m going to miss the school idea and seeing everyone. I want to extend my time here as long as possible.

Hoi Wong, CEE
Hometown: Sacramento
Plans: Graduate studies at Cal
I have no regrets about coming to Berkeley. I’ll miss my Steel Bridge teammates. They’re like family.

Jenny Crow, CEE
Hometown: San Diego
Plans: Working at a consulting firm
I’m stoked! I’m ready to go out and earn some money. I’ll remember the great professors I’ve had, particularly CEE associate professor Juan Pestana.

Kyle Yeates, ME
Hometown: Palo Alto
Plans: Graduate studies at Cal
I’m not sure yet. It’s anti-climatic because I’m coming back here for the ME professional master’s program.

Michelle Yong, Eng. Physics
Hometown: Del Mar
Plans: Ph.D. in Cal’s Physics program
I’m feeling a mixture of relief, shock, uneasiness and excitement about the unknown future, sadness to be seeing friends leave and nostalgia when I think of how much I’ve learned and grown.
