Hello Huskies,
It’s almost time for one of my favorite events of the year … Commencement! I’m looking forward to congratulating students and celebrating their accomplishments alongside loved ones, faculty and staff.
If you’re planning to graduate, register for Commencement by May 19 and I’ll see you on June 8 at Husky Stadium!
Sincerely,
Denzil
