This has been a difficult academic year and a particularly challenging spring at UCLA, but I am so grateful that our faculty and staff remained committed to producing commencement events that honored our graduating students’ hard work and achievements. Commencement season requires the support of our entire campus community in the best of times, and under unprecedented conditions, you still made these celebrations deeply memorable for our graduates and their loved ones. I hope this summer will bring everyone in our community important time with friends and family members — as well as some much-needed rest.
