4,200 TO GRADUATE FROM UCSB IN SEVEN CEREMONIES

Approximately 4,200 students will graduate from UC Santa Barbara in seven separate ceremonies on June 9, 15, and 16.

As is traditional at UC Santa Barbara, commencement exercises are organized by college, level of degree, and field of study so that each student can be individually recognized.

Chancellor Henry T. Yang will shake the hand of each student from the Graduate Division, the College of Creative Studies, the College of Engineering, and the College of Letters and Science.

The College of Creative Studies will lead off with its ceremony on Sunday, June 9 at 1 p.m. in Lotte Lehmann Hall on campus.

On the following weekend, June 15-16, six separate ceremonies will be held (Saturday and Sunday) on the Faculty Club Green (the First Lady of California, Sharon Davis, will be among the speakers).
