Commencement 2010, Thursday, May 27
Congratulations Class of 2010!
Watch a slideshow of the ceremony.
Dean Julio Frenk opened the 2010 Commencement Ceremonies on a crystal clear late spring day May 27 by observing that for the day’s graduates “very few moments in life combine such intense feelings of accomplishment with a sense of restlessness, anticipation, and perhaps even a bit of trepidation about what lies ahead.”
During the ceremony, held before an overflow crowd in a tent in the Kresge courtyard, 509 degrees were awarded: 14 Doctors of Philosophy, three Doctors of Public Health, 51 Doctors of Science, 14 Masters of Arts, 268 Masters of Public Health, and 159 Masters of Science.
Students from 52 countries, 39 U.S. states, and Puerto Rico received degrees. Six out of every 10 members of the Class of 2010 were women.
