KU announces more than 4,450 candidates for degrees

 The names of more than 4,450 candidates for degrees at the University of Kansas this spring — representing 95 Kansas counties, 48 other states and the District of Columbia and 44 other countries — have been announced by the University Registrar.
    KU’s Class of 2008 numbers more than 7,000, including 2,555 who completed degree work in summer and fall 2007. Because KU conducts only one formal commencement ceremony each year, many of these candidates for degrees will return Sunday, May 18, for the university's 136th commencement procession into Memorial Stadium. More than 4,000 members of the Class of 2008 are expected to participate.
    Faculty and candidates for degrees will assemble about 2 p.m. along Memorial Drive for the procession, which begins at 2:30 p.m. The program begins about 3:30 p.m. In case of inclement weather, participants should call KU Info, (785) 864-3506, or listen to local radio and television stations to learn the exact time of the commencement ceremony. Commencement information and an up-to-date schedule of events are available online at www.commencement.ku.edu.
    Candidates are also listed online by home county, state or country; degree; major; level in school; gender; parents’ names; and high school (when available) at www.news.ku.edu/2008/may/8/gradspring08.shtml.
