Family members and global spectators lined the streets to witness traditional ceremonies, including the symbolic burning of faculty-colored ribbons which marks the transition from undergraduate studies to professional careers.

The expansive celebration continues through the end of the month with a full itinerary of live musical performances, cultural showcases, and sporting events hosted across the campus network.
