KU announces spring 2001 graduates

LAWRENCE -- The names of more than 3,800 candidates for degree at the University of Kansas this spring have been announced by KU's registrar.

KU's class of 2001 includes more than 2,000 who completed degree work last summer and fall. About 4,000 of those in the class of 2001 are expected to participate Sunday, May 20, in the university˙s 129th commencement procession into Memorial Stadium.

Faculty and graduates will assemble about 2 p.m. along Memorial Drive for the procession, which begins at 2:30 p.m. The program begins about 3:30 p.m. In case of inclement weather, participants should call the KU Information Center, (785) 864-3506, or listen to local radio and television stations to learn the exact time of the commencement ceremony.

The names of graduates are no longer available online. For degree verification, please visit the Office of the Registrar or contact the National Student Clearinghouse at (702) 742-4200. There is a retrieval fee.

Because KU conducts only one formal commencement ceremony each year, many of these graduates will return for commencement exercises May 20.

Note: KU offers about 75 undergraduate and 165 graduate degrees. To facilitate listing of degrees, abbreviations for the more common ones are used with the major or majors when applicable. If no major is listed, the name of the major is in the name of the degree. The degree key at left is used in abbreviating names of degrees
