The Nexus has created a graphic representation of the graduating classes from the College of Letters & Science and the College of Creative Studies Supriya Yelimeli News Editor As UC Santa Barbara’s graduating class prepares to walk the line next week, nearly 5,000 students are look- ing to the future for life after college. The class of 2016 has borne witness to significant cultural and academic change at UCSB in the past four years. Current seniors entered college as Barack Obama began his second term as president and were a year later confronted with both the Deltopia riots and the May 23, 2014, shooting as most phased into their twenties. The self-governance movement in I.V. took hold later that year, and students and faculty came together to improve life in the small college town. Now, another presidential election has taken young people by the reins, and graduating students are facing the future with con- trasting college experiences. The four-year graduation rate for UCSB students typically fluctuates around 68 percent, according to the UCSB Campus Profile, and 4,687 students are sched- uled to attend commencement ceremonies on June 11 and 12, according to Cathy Pollock, assistant dean of the College of Letters and Science. While the majority of graduating students are seniors, this number includes students from other class levels who will be graduating early, as well as students who graduated prior to Spring Quarter.
