JULY 2014 | YOUNG ALUMNI EDITION |
|
Commencement 2014 had it all: joy, inspiration and one big surprise. That surprise came in the form of 7’2” legend Kareem Abdul Jabbar ’69, who took to the podium alongside Nobel Laureate Randy Schekman ’71 and Chancellor Gene Block at the College of Letters and Science ceremony. New graduates and their families were also greeted at Grad Central with Diddy Riese cookies and a photo op with Joe and Josie Bruin as they were welcomed to the alumni family. Watch the full Commencement video. |
