Pantano, of Pittsburgh, is one of 1,781 degree-seeking candidates participating in UT’s 152nd commencement, which will be a virtual experience on May 8.
Pantano, who will pursue a doctorate in applied physics at the University of South Florida this fall, co-founded the UT chapter of the Society of Physics Students (SPS) during her first year on campus. She said SPS has increased her networking opportunities, strengthened her ability to connect with professional organizations and introduced her to the NASA internship, which is organized through the American Institute of Physics.
