Graduation 2014

On Saturday June 14th, 2014, the UW Dept of Earth and Space Sciences held its annual Graduation Ceremony, hosted by Chair Robert Winglee. Receiving diplomas were 37 undergraduate students, out of a graduating class of 55. Receiving hoods were 10 out of a class of 17 Masters students, and 8 out of a class of 14 PhD students. This is one of our biggest graduating classes, and we again had to hold the ceremony in the Bagley Hall 131 auditorium with seating for 300, as our normal Johnson Hall 102 auditorium was not adequate. A reception was held outside by the Drumheller Fountain following the ceremony.
