While we are going to MISS our recent graduates, we are incredibly excited for where they are ending up after MSU 🎓

To highlight where a few of our graduates are heading:
- is joining the Technical Rotation and Career Knowledge (TRACK) Program as a
GPD TRACK Hardware Mechanical Engineer at General Motors Co. in Detroit, Michigan.
- is joining the Rotational Development Program in the Automotive Steering Division at Bosch Mobility Solutions in Detroit, Michigan.
- is joining the Engineering and Technology Rotational Program as a Logistics Engineer at JB Hunt Transport Services in Lowell, Arkansas.

Other recent MSU alum will be working as a software integration engineer with Tesla in Palo Alto, California, and working as a software integration and technical specialist at the University of Alabama.

The team will look different without our graduates, but we are so proud of them and their accomplishments!

Happy International Women in Engineering Day to all of our incredible women in STEM!!!
