Here’s Why Matt Was Shouted Out As 2024 Grad

BOLINGBROOK, IL — Graduation is a major milestone and deserves to be celebrated! That's why Patch and T-Mobile have teamed up to recognize our community's outstanding 2024 graduates.

This submission comes from Diane Eberle who nominated Matt of Bolingbrook.

Graduate’s name

Matt

What grade is the graduate finishing?

College

What school is your graduating student graduating from?

Northern Illinois University

How do you know your graduating student nominee?

My son

Tell us why they deserve to be nominated!

Four years ago due to COVID, my son and his fellow classmates were robbed of their opportunity to celebrate the last few months of their high school years as all seniors have done in the past. All the one-last-time gatherings could not be held, especially walking down the aisle, head held high, celebrating all their achievements and accomplishments in front of family and friends…..

This year, that class of 2022 IS now graduating from college, and will be able to walk down that aisle !!!

Matt will be graduating with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and will be working for Ford Motor Co.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about your graduating student nominee?

Matt is a hard-working student who cares about making a difference in our world and wants to build things to make our lives easier and safer.

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Matt!
