On Saturday June 13th, 2015, the UW Dept of Earth and Space Sciences held its annual Graduation Ceremony, hosted by Chair Robert Winglee. Receiving diplomas were 51 undergraduate students, out of a graduating class of 78. Receiving hoods were 9 out of a class of 19 Masters students, and 4 out of a class of 6 PhD students. This is one of our biggest graduating classes, and we had to hold the ceremony in the HUB Lyceum auditorium with seating for 400, as our previous locations were not adequate. A reception was held in the HUB Lobby outside the Lyceum following the ceremony.
