Mazen M. Taman delivered the undergraduate Commencement address on Saturday, May 20, 2023. The Cranston, R.I., native held two paid internships simultaneously in the spring semester of his final year in the Pharm.D. program. He also worked on two research teams, one focused on the efficacy of home electronic blood pressure monitoring and one focused on software for managing investigational drugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While completing his Pharm.D. program, including six clinical rotations at Rhode Island Hospital, Taman played football for the Rams for four years and will enter Brown University\u2019s Warren Alpert Medical School this fall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was raised in a one-parent household, where my mom worked tirelessly at multiple jobs to keep my two brothers and me in school and sports,\u201d Taman said. \u201cMy mother has been there every step of the way, offering endless support as I pursued my dreams. Today, I stand before you \u2026 and I know that this accomplishment would not have been possible without the unwavering love and encouragement of my mother. So, Mom, look at us now\u2014we made it.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tania Silva de Oliveira, a chemical engineer and an analytical research scientist at a Boston-based global pharmaceutical company that develops drugs to treat some of the world\u2019s most serious conditions, gave the graduate Commencement address on Friday, May 19, 2023 at the Ryan Center.

She returned to 溏心vlog免费B站 to earn her doctorate in chemical engineering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI always felt and knew that education was the way toward a better life for me and for my family,\u201d Oliveira said. \u201cAs an undergraduate, I went to a chemical engineering school, and, like many of you, worked nights to pay my rent and bills and studied during the day.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She told the audience that many family members would be watching at home in Brazil. \u201cAnd as you know, my mom and grandma are not understanding a single word of what I am saying. I will ask you to excuse me so I can offer them a few special words: Te amo v\u00f3 e m\u00e3e! Obrigada por tudo<\/em>. Meaning, I love you Grandma and Mom. Thank you for everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
