The CSE departmental graduation event will take place on June 12th in Meany Hall from 9-1030am with a reception in the Paul G. Allen Center for CS&E from 1030-1130ish. For our event, no tickets are required, just show up with a smile. Most students wear cap and gown, but business casual is also appropriate if you are not planning on walking in the UW ceremony. More info will follow.
If you haven’t filed to graduate yet (i.e. there is no projected graduation date on your MyCSE main page), contact me ASAP and I’ll check to see if everything is in place.
