This year’s event will be virtual as we celebrate theÌý1,200 mathies who deserve a memorable finale for their years of hard work and diligent study.ÌýWe hope to hold an in-person ceremony as soon as we are able.

Digital adoption and dependence have been dramatically propelled by the COVID-19 pandemic. This sudden growth spotlights critical issues such as cybersecurity, privacy, resilience, the highly consequential shift to 5G, and what innovative technologies may follow. Leadership in 5G adoption will be a vital determinant of future national competitiveness, as 5G will further enable dramatic technological advances in logistics, manufacturing, autonomous vehicles, mining, construction and smart grids.Ìý
