Graduating seniors received commencement information from their major departments in February. All questions regarding commencement should be directed to the student's home department.
Students can keep the cap and tassel for souvenirs.
Commencement Convocation, an event for seniors organized by the Senior Class Council, will take place May 11. Author Terry McMillan, '77, will be the featured speaker. Graduating seniors will receive information about the event in April, which honors the University Medalist and other outstanding seniors. The town of Berkeley gears up every year for graduation festivities and visiting families, but advance reservations for most restaurants and hotels are a must. A listing of local accommodations and restaurants was included in the summer 1998 issue of Letter Home.
