May 11, 2018 LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - No less than 70 current and former UNLV student-athletes are eligible to take part in Saturday's annual Spring Commencement Ceremonies at the Thomas & Mack Center on campus.
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 photo shoot and Senior Send-Off reception for graduates and their families Friday morning at the TMC.
Some graduates, including some of of the 18 football players on the list, have remaining eligibility and will compete for their respective teams again next season while pursuing either a master's or second bachelor's degree. One former football player, Rebel defensive back E.J. Whitley, has completed his studies after originally signing with UNLV in 2005.
Overall, more than 3,000 UNLV undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to participate in this year's Spring Commencement Ceremonies, which are split into two sessions beginning at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. This year's UNLV grads range in age from 16 to 72 and hail from 37 states, the District of Columbia and 57 foreign countries.
Since 1964, UNLV has awarded nearly 134,000 degrees.
