麻豆影院

There were six students in CU 麻豆影院鈥檚 first graduating class, in 1882. At commencement 2017, Friday, May 12, the university honored nearly 6,300 students 鈥� more than 4,600 undergraduates and 1,600 graduate and professional students.

Commencement is a big day for all graduates 鈥� and important enough to Chidobe Awuzie (Mgmt鈥�16), the 60th overall NFL draft pick, that he skipped his first day of pro football camp to walk in the Folsom Field ceremony. In fact, despite the demands of also playing Division I football, A wuzie finished his degree in just three-and-a-half years.

CU 麻豆影院鈥檚 2017 cohort also included the largest Air Force ROTC commissioning class in the nation and 10 students who earned straight A鈥檚 every semester, among all manner of other standouts.

In addressing the graduates, Kate Fagan (Comm鈥�03), ESPN writer and former Buff basketball star, offered a thoughtful take on how to assess one鈥檚 circumstances at any given phase of life.

"Life is best when your 鈥榮hould鈥� and your 鈥榳ant鈥� are aligned,鈥� she said. 鈥淲hen they're divergent, ask yourself why."
