As the strains of “Pomp of Circumstance” ring out over auditoriums and quads this spring, roughly 67,000 new UC graduates will join 1.8 million alumni in going forth to make their mark on their world.

And they’ve done it without losing time to learn, have fun and build lifelong connections. To read short profiles of some of UC’s most inspiring 2017 graduates, click here.
