On behalf of the faculty and administration, it gives us great pleasure to recognize and celebrate those students in the Class 2022 receiving their professional degrees at the University of Michigan Law School. Senior Day is an important event for all of our graduates. Our students arrive as part of a very special group and graduate as spectacular individuals. We are excited to be planning for in-person commencement activities in spring 2022.
We will celebrate the Class of 2022 on Friday, May 6, at 4:00 p.m. at Hill Auditorium. A reception in the Law Quadrangle for graduates and their families will immediately follow the ceremony.
