Arizona State University Tempe Campus Celebrates Record Number of Indian Graduates

 

This spring, Arizona State University Tempe Campus celebrated a remarkable milestone, awarding degrees to 1,800 Indian students — one of the largest graduating cohorts of Indian nationals in the university’s history. As part of ASU’s record-setting class of over 21,000 graduates, more than 3,000 were international students, reaffirming India’s status as the leading source of international enrollment at the university. Currently, around 7,000 Indian students are pursuing their academic journeys at ASU, the majority enrolled in graduate-level programs.

Among the standout graduates was Omkaar Shenoy from Kerala, a computer science student who utilized his programming skills to streamline operations at ASU’s Office of Media Relations. Shenoy, who earned his degree from the prestigious Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, will now begin his professional journey with Aramark in Philadelphia. “ASU was very helpful in terms of giving me the resources to find this job,” Shenoy remarked. “It gave me a solid foundation in coding and media sciences, helping me explore both technical and creative fields.”



Another graduate, Ana Girish, completed her degree in aerospace engineering with a specialization in astronautics. She has been recruited by Solestial, an Arizona-based startup focused on developing solar panels for space technology.

ASU President Michael Crow, who recently visited India, expressed strong optimism about the growing academic exchange between India and the United States. “ASU is deeply committed to students from India,” said Crow. “We are expecting more students from India than ever and are prepared to support their success.”

In recognition of its diverse student community, Arizona State University Tempe Campus hosted an International Student Celebration on May 10, ahead of its formal graduation events. With over 20,000 Indian alumni globally, ASU continues to strengthen its ties with India through academic excellence and cultural inclusion.

For Indian students aspiring to study abroad, ASU stands as a beacon of opportunity, growth, and innovation.
 New India Abroad will continue to spotlight such stories of academic success and international collaboration.

This change, announced by the U.S. Embassy in India , is effective immediately and impacts international students and exchange visitors who wish to study or participate in cultural programs in the United States. The embassy’s advisory clearly states that individuals applying for these visa categories are "requested to adjust the privacy settings on all of their personal social media accounts to ‘public’." This requirement is part of enhanced vetting procedures aimed at confirming the applicant’s identity and determining their admissibility to the U.S. under immigration law. According to U.S. authorities, reviewing an applicant’s social media activity has become a necessary tool in the visa approval process. It allows consular officers to assess the background, intent, and potenti...

The Trump Inauguration was characterized by a promise to "Make America Great Again," with a focus on economic nationalism, stricter immigration policies, and a shift in international alliances. For Indian Americans, this presented both challenges and opportunities.
