7th Annual NEET Certificate Conferment Ceremony
Message From Dean Hammond, MIT School of Engineering
Today is about much more than just receiving a certificate. It is a recognition of the curiosity, the creativity, your persistence, your collaborative spirit—all these things that you demonstrated through your work in NEET and across MIT.
Class of 2026, as you leave in MIT and begin that next chapter of your lives, I hope you carry forward the spirit of NEET... Whether you pursue a career in academia, industry, government, or the nonprofit sector, your ability to collaborate across disciplines, to make with meaning, to welcome different perspectives, and to build community will serve you very well. We are incredibly proud of all of you, what you have accomplished, and we cannot wait to see what you’re going to do in the outside world.

Looking Back at the NEET Class of 2026 Ceremony
On Tuesday, May 26, 2026, MIT New Engineering Education Transformation (NEET) hosted the 7th Annual NEET Certificate Conferment Ceremony to celebrate its 2026 graduates.
The NEET team, alumni, faculty, friends, and family gathered on the MIT campus to honor the NEET graduating seniors from across the four NEET threads—Autonomous Machines, Climate and Sustainability Systems, Digital Cities, and Living Machines—and learn about their collaborative research and interdisciplinary projects while in NEET.
It was a privilege to be joined this year by Paula T. Hammond, dean of the School of Engineering and Institute Professor, who delivered her congratulations to the NEET Class of 2026 during the ceremony.
NEET is incredibly proud of its graduates and thankful for their hard work and dedication throughout the three-year program. The NEET team and instructors look forward to supporting their professional development as NEET alumni and sharing their future achievements with the MIT community.
