University of Kansas Announces Two Waukee Spring Graduates

Submitted by the University of Kansas

The names of more than 4,800 candidates for degrees at the University of Kansas this spring - representing 94 Kansas counties, 45 other states and 47 other countries - have been announced by the University Registrar.

The Class of 2012 includes more than 1,600 students who completed degree work in summer and fall 2011. Because KU conducts only one formal Commencement ceremony each year, many of these graduates will return Sunday, May 13, for the university's 140th Commencement. More than half of the members of the Class of 2012 are expected to participate.

Faculty and candidates for degrees will assemble at 10 a.m. along Memorial Drive for the procession, which begins at 10:30 a.m. The program begins about 11:30 a.m.

Area students are as follows:

Matthew Meyer, of Waukee, Iowa. He will receive a Juris Doctor.

Emily Meyer, of Waukee, Iowa. She will receive a Business minor and Bachelor of General Studies in Communication Studies.

This list only includes names of students who applied for graduation by April 16. Commencement information and an up-to-date schedule of events are available at commencement.ku.edu.
