This May, the University's newest graduates officially became alumni, joining a network of more than 130,000 Wildcats worldwide in 50 states and 94 countries across the globe. With CDC recommendations loosening up the day before ²ÝÁñÉçÇøâ€™s Commencement activities kicked off, graduates and their two guests were able to breathe a little easier at this year’s ceremonies. While it’s impossible to measure joy, here’s a look at a few of the numbers that illustrate what a massive celebration it was.
