Dear Colleagues,
At the end of the spring semester the campus is filled with excitement as we round out the year with commencement activities. This year, more than 650 CALS students received undergraduate degrees at the ceremonies held on May 16 and 17. Another 80 students received graduate degrees at the Graduate Student Commencement.
Congratulations to our graduates and to the faculty, advisers, mentors, and those who contributed to the success of our graduates during their time here as students. I also want to thank the faculty and staff who helped in planning the commencement-related events.
On the afternoon of May 16, following the University Commencement, the college Outstanding Senior ceremony and reception was held. Stephanie Myrick was recognized as the 2014 College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Outstanding Senior for her exceptional academic achievement and leadership. Stephanie received her B.S. degree in applied economic management with minors in civic agriculture and food systems and leadership and social change. Other outstanding seniors were honored from each department in the college. We are pleased to welcome our new alumni.
