UC San Diego is reviving a time-honored tradition to celebrate and unify all graduates together. For the first time in 16 years, a campuswide commencement featuring an internationally-renowned speaker will be held in tandem with the separate undergraduate and graduate school ceremonies.

At the 90-minute All Campus Commencement, Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla will officially confer degrees by academic division upon graduates of the six
undergraduate colleges, Graduate Division and professional schools. Nobel Peace Prize recipient Muhammad Yunus will deliver the keynote address. Yunus is known worldwide for pioneering the concept of microcredit, and for establishing the Grameen Bank to help impoverished people start their own businesses.

In addition to the all campus ceremony on June 11, the six undergraduate colleges, Graduate Division, and professional schools will host separate, personalized graduation ceremonies for their students, where graduates will be recognized by name as they walk across the stage.

We invite all graduates, families and friends to attend both ceremonies to fully experience the pomp and circumstance, and joy and pride, that marks one of the most memorable times in a student’s life. Graduates may pick up their tickets, caps and gowns from May 31 to June 12 at the UC San Diego Bookstore. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
