Congratulations to all
of the 2015-2016 CBC students who were honored for earning their bachelors, masters, and doctorate degrees at the May 2016 graduation ceremony! We had a very special CBC Awards Ceremony in the UA Memorial Student Union on Thursday, May 12, with featured commencement speaker Dr. James (Jim) Hazzard who is retiring this year. The grads, parents, faculty, and staff enjoyed a wonderful buffet breakfast, and then later in the day, headed to McKale Center for the evening ceremony celebrating all of the College of Science graduates. Many more stories below in our May issue of the e-Catalyst. Enjoy!
Best,
Professor and Head
