Commencement 2007

It's the most wonderful time of the year

Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton will confer degrees at the 146th Commencement ceremony, which begins at 8:30 a.m. May 18 in Brookings Quadrangle. The 2,622 candidates will receive 2,735 degrees, of which 1,467 are undergraduate and 1,268 are graduate and professional.

Spirited student speaker wants to 'soak it all in'

"I think WUSTL is the best place we could ever have chosen to go to school," said Ryon Buchman, this year's student Commencement speaker. "I hope we can look back 10 years from now and remember everything we've accomplished here, because we've accomplished a lot."

Gallery of Graduates

From medicine to engineering, law to biology, the Record features 12 of the University's most interesting graduates in our Gallery of Graduates. Their profiles explore what brought them to WUSTL, their accomplishments during their time as students and where they're headed now.

Two faculty elected to American Academy of Arts and Sciences

Faculty members Helen M. Piwnica-Worms, Ph.D., of the School of Medicine, and Murray L. Weidenbaum, Ph.D., of the Danforth Campus, have been elected fellows of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
