Our CBC May 2015 Commencement Awards Ceremony on Thursday, May 14, was a GREAT success! We honored our Fall 2014 and Spring 2015 graduates with a departmental ceremony in the South Ballroom of the UA Student Union, followed by a catered BBQ luncheon on the Koffler building patio. See the shout outs to our CBC graduates in this issue of the e-Catalyst newsletter. Enjoy!
