From coding to User Experience (UX), cybersecurity to social media, our grads have contributed meaningfully to University Information Technology Services (UITS) while pursuing degrees across a wide range of disciplines. Each of these grads, and all those across UITS, are moving into their next chapters with knowledge, purpose, and pride.

As commencement season approaches, UITS is proud to celebrate four of our several outstanding student workers who have balanced academics, professional growth, and Wildcat spirit with excellence: Hunter Del Rosario, Diego Garcia-Jimenez, Dalian Meraz, and Kobe Voss.

Commencement at the University of Arizona is a powerful celebration of achievement and behind the scenes, it’s also a testament to how innovative technology and partnership help ensure every Wildcat can be a part of the moment.
