[Christina K Taylor]

Dear Students, Family, Friends and Faculty,


As noted in the previous emails, our usual departmental graduation ceremony will be extended  to include an earlier gathering of the entire undergraduate class, as well as an evening lecture on Cosmology open to the public given by Prof. Laura Sales. Everyone, including your family and guests are invited to all three events. The evening lecture is open to the entire public.



The first event is at 2-3:15 PM for everyone with popcorn and drinks for all undergraduate physics majors (including seniors!) their family and friends. The 2nd at 3:30-5 PM is the usual, more formal undergraduate graduation event (again everyone is invited). The third is the evening reception and lecture which starts at 5. There will be sandwiches at the reception.  The lecture which begins at 6 will end at 7.
