Meet Ben Patton, the student speaker for the NC State ECE Fall 2025 Commencement Ceremony.
Patton’s message to the graduating class reflects the resilience, community and collaboration that define the ECE experience.

During his time in the department, Patton built strong connections, led student organizations and supported peers across the program. Three years ago, he faced a life-altering medical diagnosis that required major surgery and a long recovery. The experience reshaped his view of perseverance and the importance of relying on others. His remarks at graduation highlight how family, friends and faculty helped him return to campus and continue his path toward a career in industry.

In this spotlight, Patton shares what resilience and connection have meant to him and to the Class of 2025. He reflects on the long nights in the lab, the classes that challenged students to grow and the people who made the journey possible.

The Fall 2025 ECE Commencement Ceremony will be held on December 11 at 11 a.m. in Reynolds Coliseum.
