Among the Indian graduates was Omkaar Shenoy, a computer science student from Kerala, who contributed to streamlining operations at ASU’s Office of Media Relations through his programming expertise. After earning his degree from the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, he is set to begin his career with hospitality firm Aramark in Philadelphia.
“ASU was very helpful in terms of giving me the resources to find this job,” Shenoy said. “The university also gave me a great foundation in coding and a broader skill set in media and sciences, which allowed me to explore my creative side.”
Another Indian student, Ana Girish, earned a degree in aerospace engineering with a focus on astronautics. She has been hired as an associate product engineer by Solestial, an Arizona-based startup developing solar panels for space.
ASU president Michael Crow, who recently visited India, said the university expects even more students from the country in the coming years.
“ASU is a place that is deeply committed to the students who come here,” Crow said. “We are expecting more students from India than ever, and we are ready and excited to welcome students who are eager to learn and succeed.”
To honor the contributions of its global student body, the university held an International Student Celebration on May 10, ahead of its formal commencement ceremonies.
Arizona State University now counts over 20,000 Indian nationals among its alumni, reflecting the university’s long-standing academic links with India.
