Graduates conclude successful KU careers

The University Registrar announced the names of more than 4,450 candidates for degrees at KU this spring. The group represents 95 Kansas counties, 48 other states and the District of Columbia, and 44 other countries.

KU’s Class of 2008 numbers more than 7,000, including 2,555 who completed degree work in summer and fall 2007. Because KU conducts only one formal Commencement ceremony each year, many of these candidates for degrees returned Sunday, May 18, for the University's 136th Commencement procession into Memorial Stadium.
