Spring 2026 Graduation Spotlight

🎓✨ Graduation Spotlight: Anzhelika Kurnikova, Zarina Zatildayeva & Duong (Eric) Mai ✨🎓
This semester, IEEE‑CS proudly celebrates three of our graduating leaders:

Anzhelika Kurnikova, our President; Zarina Zatildayeva, our Treasurer; & Duong (Eric) Mai, our Social Media Chair.

😺 Anzhelika Kurnikova helped lead IEEE‑CS through one of its biggest years of growth. As a Computer Science major with a Mathematics minor, she supported workshops & outreach, boosting attendance & attracting new members. From creating reels, bringing people together to energizing every hangout, she brought spirit to every moment. She played a key role in organizing TechX Florida 2025, an event with over 350+ attendees from 500+ registrations across 9 educational institutions, 40% of whom were professionals. We wish her the best in her incoming Software Engineer role at Google & in all her future endeavors.

🧬 Zarina Zatildayeva kept the chapter running smoothly throughout the semester. She handled every Publix order, tracked our funds, & made sure we always had enough to keep hosting events. Always ready to help, whether that meant fixing our banner when it broke or running off to find a chair or anything else the chapter needed. As a Biomedical Sciences major, she showed our members that you do not need to be CS to belong here. She'll be heading to Kazakhstan to prepare for her master’s applications in Germany. We wish her the best as she takes this next step in her journey.

📸 Duong (Eric) Mai played a key role in shaping IEEE‑CS’s presence this year. From flyers to recaps, he boosted attendance by making every event easy to find & consistently posting across campus. His photos captured each moment with care, leaving a lasting mark on the chapter. Though graduating this summer, his impact deserves a spotlight. As a Computer Science major with a Mathematics minor, he’ll continue his studies at Vanderbilt University, & we wish him the best as he begins this next chapter.

💛 We extend our gratitude to Anzhelika, Zarina, & Eric for everything they have done for the chapter. Your work, energy, & dedication helped grow IEEE‑CS. Everyone here in the chapter will miss you deeply.
