WASHINGTON - 15-year-old Yevin Nikhel Goonatilake is making history after graduating from George Mason University with a Bachelor's degree.
Goonatilake, a Leesburg native, graduated Thursday from George Mason's College of Engineering and Computing. He's the youngest graduate with a 4.0 GPA in GMU history.
What's next for the 15-year-old? He's on track to earn his master's in computer science from GMU in May 2025. And maybe somewhere along the way, get his driver's license.
"He's blowing us all away. I still can't believe it," said Yevin's mom, Llana.
His skills don't stop at computer science - Yevin loves playing cricket and would like to one day play for the US national team.
