June 15 marked an All Campus Commencement of “firsts” for UC San Diego: the first major commencement ceremony held at night—ending with a stunning fireworks display—and the first time the university has selected not one, but eight outstanding student speakers.
With nervous smiles and anticipation, the students lined up outside the Ong Family Auditorium at University of California San Diego. Inside, it was standing room only as family and friends gathered to witness a historic White Coat Ceremony.
As Tritons gathered around an expansive 300-foot-long communal table that spanned the length of Library Walk on June 6, there was a palpable sense of belonging and a feeling reminiscent of home.
During a commemorative event, key stakeholders joined together at East Campus Medical Center at UC San Diego Health to celebrate increased health care access.
