Hi Huskies,
Spring quarter isn’t even halfway over, and I’m already thinking about June. I’m looking forward to in-person Commencement June 10 at Husky Stadium. It’s one of my favorite events of the year – student and celebrating their accomplishments with their loved ones, faculty and staff.
If you’re planning to graduate, it’s time to register for commencement. Complete the Commencement Registration/Order Form by May 21 so you can join us. I look forward to congratulating you in person!
Sincerely,
Denzil
