Commencement 2012

Join the Celebration!


137th Annual Commencement Exercises
Saturday, June 9, 2012
CenturyLink Field

On June 9, 2012, the University of Washington community will gather to celebrate the achievements of the Class of 2012.  With banners flying and colorfully decorated mortarboards atop their heads, the graduates will take the field at CenturyLink Stadium, surrounded by 40,000 cheering family members and friends.   All graduates will take the traditional walk across the huge commencement stage, where President Young, members of the Board of Regents, the deans of the University's 16 schools and colleges, and members of the faculty will be present to officially confer degrees.  Students will receive diploma covers embossed with the University seal as they shake hands with President Young or another member of the University administration (provost, dean, or regent), and have their photographs taken.

It will truly be a day to remember.  See you there!
