Caltech Celebrates 129th Commencement

"Change is manifest and inevitable, but it will not be powerful except in the context of our defining values."

On June 16, Caltech President Thomas F. Rosenbaum charged 617 graduates at the 129th Commencement ceremony to embrace both challenges and opportunities of the future while upholding the experiences that shaped them at Caltech.

The Friday morning ceremony marked a momentous occasion for Caltech's newest graduates. Among an audience of family members, friends, faculty, and trustees, the Institute awarded 233 bachelor's degrees, 155 master's degrees, and 228 doctoral degrees. [Caltech story]
