Commencement is a joyous moment in the life of the University. I invite you to join us for the 119th Spring Commencement exercises at The University of Texas at Austin. The evening is not only an academic ritual, but also a festive celebration marking an important rite of passage.

This event is a time for all of us—parents and children, teachers and students, administrators and staff, friends and family. A time to pause for a moment, beneath a great arc of fireworks and the magnificent presence of the UT Tower, to look back on the experiences that have brought us to this
milestone.

I hope you will plan to be here as the University family gathers for this special evening when we salute the achievements of our graduating students.
