135th Commencement Ceremony of the University of Washington

On Saturday, June 12, 2010, the University of Washington community will gather together in Husky Stadium to celebrate the achievements of the Class of 2010.

With banners flying and playfully decorated caps on their heads, the degree candidates will take the field to the cheers and applause of nearly 40,000 family members and friends. The pageantry will continue with the entrance of the deans of the University's seventeen schools and colleges, followed by President Mark Emmert, the regents, and honored guests.

The ceremony begins with President Emmert's opening remarks, followed by the presentation of awards to distinguished students, faculty and alumni, remarks by student speakers, and a formal address by our commencement speaker.

The conferring of degrees will begin with the professional and doctoral candidates, followed by the master's and bachelor degree candidates. Each candidate will cross the stage and shake hands with either the President, the Chairman of the Board of Regents, Provost Phyllis Wise, or one of the Deans. Photos of each graduate will be taken during the hand shake. Candidates will receive complimentary purple diploma covers bearing the official seal of the University. (Due to the size of the graduating class, only the names of doctoral and professional degree candidates are announced.)
