That’s a wrap on another academic year! 

Thank you to everyone who volunteered at commencement. We graduated more than 2,300 undergraduates and held two successful ceremonies. Our events included remarks from two outstanding students and performances by two talented vocalists. Take a look at photos from the ceremonies!  

Congratulations to our faculty and staff for their accomplishments this year, many of which are highlighted in this newsletter. You've made a difference for our students, including our newest alumni. 

Thank you for all you do and for being a part of CLAS! Have a great summer.
