’Tis the season: Here comes Commencement

It’s that time again. The green is being prepped, caps and gowns are being collected and those end-of-year vibes are in the air.

It’s commencement season at UC Santa Barbara, where 6,761 students — a combination of undergraduate and graduate — are set to earn degrees in 2023. They’ll be honored with nine official events over eight days, between June 11 and June 18.

Kicking things off, the College of Creative Studies will host its Commencement Celebration at 11 a.m. Sunday, June 11, at Campbell Hall. Next up, at 9 a.m. Friday, June 16, Bren School of Environmental Science & Management will hold its annual Commencement Celebration outdoors in the Bren Hall Michael J. Connell Memorial Courtyard.
