A week’s worth of commencement activities will celebrate 6,875 graduates for 2023–2024

The fun has begun. With the College of Creative Studies Commencement festivities already in the books, eight more ceremonies remain on UC Santa Barbara’s annual slate of celebrations. More than 6,800 students — a combination of undergraduate and graduate — have declared their candidacy to earn degrees in 2024. And they’ll all be honored across nine official events over eight days, wrapping up on Sunday, June 16.

Next in the lineup is the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management, which will hold its annual Commencement Celebration at 9 a.m. Friday, June 14, outdoors in the Bren Hall Michael J. Connell Memorial Courtyard.
