“UIW, thank you for the most amazing 4 years. There have been many long nights in the labs, days with little to no sleep and moments when I felt like giving up. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love and support of my family and friends. I’ll forever be grateful for them and the amazing friends I’ve made along the way.” Lourdes Castro, BFA ’26 3D Animation and Game Design, uiw_smd #UIWGrad #UIW2026
