At Carnegie Mellon University’s 2026 Commencement on Sunday, we welcomed Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of NVIDIA, as our keynote speaker.

A visionary founder and technology leader, Jensen also received an honorary Doctor of Science and Technology degree. His work advancing the modern GPU and accelerated computing has helped power breakthroughs across science, engineering, medicine and beyond.

His message to the Class of 2026 reflected a spirit we know well at CMU: bold thinking, interdisciplinary collaboration and turning ideas into real-world impact.
