Commencement ceremonies are joyous occasions for the more than 61,000 students UC campuses will graduate this summer, joining the ranks of the more than 1.6 million UC alumni.
We'll be sorry to see this year's graduates leave UC. But we know, whether they go on to graduate school or start their careers, UC graduates will contribute their knowledge, skills and spirit to make California and the world a better place.
We've collected photos, tweets, Facebook posts and videos from commencement ceremonies at UC campuses on Storify to commemorate this year's graduates.
Congratulations to the class of 2012.
