LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – Nearly 100 current and former UNLV student-athletes are eligible to take part in the annual Spring Commencement Ceremonies, which are now back at the Thomas & Mack Center on campus this weekend for the first time since 2019.
The list includes Rebels who wrapped up their course work this semester as well as those on track to complete their degrees during the summer sessions.
To begin the celebration, the UNLV Athletics Department hosted its annual Senior Send-Off reception for graduates and their families Friday morning at the Thomas & Mack Center.
Some graduates have remaining eligibility and will compete for their respective teams again next season while pursuing either a master's or second bachelor's degree.
Presided over by President Keith E. Whitfield, UNLV introduces a new ceremony for master's and doctoral recipients Friday afternoon, followed by two undergraduate ceremonies at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday.
More than 3,000 students will join the ranks of UNLV alumni as the Class of 2022, which is made up of graduates from 40 states and 56 foreign countries, many are the first in their family to graduate from college, and well over half – 62 percent – are from ethnically diverse backgrounds.
This year's class ranges in age from 19 to 77, with an average age of 27. Since 1964, UNLV has awarded more than 160,000 degrees.
