New traditions were begun with this year’s commencement ceremonies. Four smaller ceremonies at which Ph.D., business school, master’s and bachelor’s graduates were recognized individually were held May 16 and a plenary ceremony for all graduates was held May 17. Below are photos of the various ceremonies; more photos and a video will be posted early next week. Photos by Tommy LaVergne and Jeff Fitlow.
