    Graduation Wraps This Weekend

    By JOAN MAGRUDER

     
     
    Flowers will adorn commencement for many of the 4,250 students in the Class of 2001.
    Continuing a UC Santa Barbara tradition, seven small commencement exercises have been or will be held over a three-day period--June 10, 16, and 17--so that each graduate can be individually recognized. Chancellor Henry T. Yang will preside over all of the ceremonies.
    Approximately 4,250 students will receive degrees in ceremonies that began with the College of Creative Studies graduating 66 new alumni on June 10.
    Commencement for the College of Letters and Science, the College of Engineering, and the Graduate Division, all of which will take place on the Faculty Club green, will run Saturday and Sunday, June 16-17.
    Science and mathematics graduates will hear guest speaker Jack Dangermond, president and founder of the Environmental Research Institute of Redlands, Calif., on Saturday at 9 a.m.
    The College of Engineering will hold its exercises at 1 p.m. that day. The graduating seniors chose Herbert Kroemer, UCSB professor of electrical and computer engineering and a 2000 Nobel Prize winner in physics, to be their keynote speaker.
    Environmental studies and about half of the social sciences graduates will participate in a 4 p.m. ceremony with guest speaker Jeffrey O. Henley, executive vice president and CFO of the Oracle Corporation.
    On Sunday, June 17, exercises will begin at 9 a.m. for the second group of social sciences graduates, who have invited Rep. Lois Capps, of California's 22nd District, to deliver the commencement address.
    At 1 p.m., humanities and fine arts majors will celebrate their graduation and listen to an address by William R. Ferris, chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
    Commencement concludes at 4 p.m. for those receiving teaching credentials, master's, and doctoral degrees. UCSB Executive Vice Chancellor Ilene Nagel will address the graduates.
