Graduation ceremonies to commence Friday

Students walking through campus within the next two weeks will notice rows of neatly stacked white chairs set up in preparation for upcoming graduation ceremonies.

Commencement ceremonies taking place around campus will confer graduating students with bachelor’s, master’s and professional degrees. Commencement recognizes the academic success of students after the completion of their requirements.

More than 8,000 students are expected to attend graduation ceremonies on campus this year, according to Elizabeth Kivowitz, a UCLA spokesperson.

This year UCLA has scheduled 14 college and professional school ceremonies, 31 departmental graduations and seven graduation-related student celebrations.

Information for other ceremonies can be found at the commencement Web site.
