LAWRENCE — The names of more than 4,280 candidates for degrees at the University of Kansas — representing 97 Kansas counties, 44 other states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and 52 other countries — have been announced by the University Registrar.

KU's Class of 2007 numbers more than 6,400, including 2,125 who completed degree work in summer and fall 2006. Because KU conducts only one formal commencement ceremony each year, many of these former students will return Sunday, May 20, for the university's 135th commencement procession into Memorial Stadium. More than 4,000 members of the Class of 2007 are expected to participate.

Faculty and candidates for degrees 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 KU Info, (785) 864-3506, or listen to local radio and television stations to learn the exact time of the commencement ceremony. Commencement information and an up-to-date schedule of events are available online.

Candidates are listed below by home county, state or country, degree, major, level in school, gender, parents' names and high school (when available).
