Congratulations!

Congratulations graduates!  This is a delightful time of the year.  On Saturday, May 17th, we will recognize 1,146 individuals receiving bachelor’s degrees and 199 receiving master’s degrees or educational specialist’s degrees.  I am proud of your accomplishments and I know the faculty and staff share my pride.

Not only have you earned your diplomas, you have done so in impressive style, with more than 335 of of you earning university honors.  You have presented research papers at professional conferences, won national recognition for yourselves and your student organizations, won league championships, appeared in and won national championships, contributed countless hours of community service, and enriched the lives of all of us associated with UW-Whitewater.

Again, congratulations!
