The School of Civil & Environmental Engineering (SoCEE) is proud to announce that Dr. Manish Roy and Dr. Alexander Agrios have been selected by the senior class to serve as the 2025 Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering Commencement Marshals.

This honor recognizes their exceptional dedication to students, contributions to engineering education, and commitment to mentorship. Dr. Roy has served as the Civil Engineering Commencement Marshal in 2022, 2023, and 2024, a testament to his ongoing impact on the student experience. Reflecting on this role, Dr. Roy shared:

"As a faculty member, it gives me immense joy to witness the academic journey of our students throughout their four years at UConn. That joy will amplify when I stand in the receiving line and shake hands with all of them one last time before they fly out of our nest. And, yes, it's truly an honor to be selected by the students to be their Commencement Marshal!"

Dr. Agrios, who is serving as Commencement Marshal for the first time this year, echoed similar sentiments:

"I always attend Commencement because it’s important to me to be there for the students in this big moment. My favorite part is always the receiving line—to look each of them in the eye, congratulate them, shake their hand, get an occasional hug. It’s awesome."

As Commencement Marshals, Dr. Roy and Dr. Agrios will play an integral role in leading the Class of 2025 during the graduation ceremony, reflecting their outstanding leadership and dedication to student success.

Congratulations to Dr. Manish Roy and Dr. Alexander Agrios on this well-earned recognition, and thank you for your continued contributions to the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering!
