The CALS Office of Academic Affairs and Office of External Relations are seeking nominations for featured CALS students graduating in spring or summer 2025. They are looking for both CALS undergraduate and graduate students. These students would be considered for being featured graudates on the CALS graduation website and on CALS social media.

Undergraduates submitted on this form will also be considered for the CALS flag bearer position for commencement. (Graduate students can be nominated for the Graduate School flag bearer position through a different process run by the Graduate School.) Flag bearers help lead the academic procession as a representative of their school/college during the commencement ceremony. This is an excellent opportunity to recognize one of the outstanding graduates of the 2025 class. The names of the flag bearers will also be printed in the commencement program, and they will have the opportunity to attend a breakfast with Chancellor Mnookin, campus leadership and the keynote speaker the morning of the ceremony. 

If you know a spring or summer 2025 graduate that you think should be highlighted, nominate them using this brief form by March 31.
