GRADUATES
The University of North Dakota graduated more than 420 students during summer commencement ceremony Aug. 4 in Chester Fritz Auditorium. UND graduates more than 2,000 students in the course of a year.
In attendance were students from as far away as Algeria, Canada, Ivory Coast, Japan, Kazakhstan, Mexico, New Zealand, South Korea, and Switzerland. Among these students from other counties were 32 students who earned the master of sciences in space studies degree. For many of these space studies students, who took all of their classes over the Internet except for the capstone course, UND's commencement represents one of the first times they've had an opportunity to hear one of their faculty members speak live.
The following is a list of the candidates by hometowns followed by their degrees. Many students graduated with academic distinctions, and these distinctions are indicated after the degree.
(Students who have signed the Buckley Amendment are included in the count, but their names have been deleted from the list.)
