Dear Candidates, Families, and Friends:

On May 14, we will celebrate the 167th commencement exercises of Emory University.  For the Class of 2012, Commencement marks the culmination of years of study and preparation that have gone into their degrees.  The presence of family and friends among the 15,000 assembling on the Quadrangle signifies the support, love, and belief in these students that helped to make their graduation possible.

I encourage you to explore this website and discover the many events, as well as important student instructions and guest information to help you prepare for Commencement.

So to all, I welcome you to this time-honored and festive occasion, and congratulations to the Class of 2012!
