CLASS OF 2017- COMMENCEMENT INFO
|
At the 90-minute
All Campus Commencement,
Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla will officially confer degrees by academic division upon graduates of the six undergraduate colleges, Graduate Division and professional schools.
Keynote speaker: Rep. John Lewis
At the age of 25, Rep. John Lewis helped spearhead one of the most seminal moments of the civil rights movement, leading with Hosea Williams-another notable civil rights leader-more than 600 peaceful, orderly protestors across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. They intended to march from Selma to Montgomery to demonstrate the need for voting rights in the state. The marchers were attacked by Alabama state troopers in a brutal confrontation that became known as Bloody Sunday. News broadcasts and photographs revealing the senseless cruelty of the segregated South helped hasten the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Lewis is a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor.
Graduates will receive their tickets to the All Campus Commencement and undergraduate or graduate ceremonies when they pick up their cap and gown at the
UC San Diego Bookstore. Visit
Grad Central

Ceremonies:
- All Campus Ceremony- Saturday, June 16 - 9 AM, RIMAC Field
- All undergraduate college ceremonies are held at RIMAC Field.

- Sunday, June 18

| CASP LIVING ARCHIVE |
|
|
|
|
Moriah Hayes, Cohort 2017
|
|
In the summer of 2017 we piloted a new project at CASP 101 (our summer transition program), that we call the CASP Living Archive. For the Living Archive, we interviewed and recorded individual student's personal narratives.
These interviews were held before their first Fall quarter as UCSD students and we will be offering them the opportunity to be interviewed again, before they graduate from UCSD.
All interviews published as part of this series are with the permission of the students.
