UT Dallas President Dr. Richard C. Benson presided over the inaugural All-University Commencement ceremony, which was held Sunday outdoors at the University Roundabout. In addition to this spring’s graduates, Comets who earned their degrees in summer and fall of 2021 joined the festivities. Deans of each UT Dallas school also congratulated graduates and recognized their families and friends for their support throughout the years. The evening ended with fireworks and music as Comets took photos and shared laughs and hugs with supporters. “Thank you for choosing UTD for your education, and thank you for all you’ve done to give back to the home of the Comets,” Benson said.
