Congratulations to the Class of 2023!
Every year before the commencement ceremony with the college, graduating seniors and their families are invited to a special reception at the UIC main-stage theatre.
This year, faculty, students and family gathered and enjoyed speeches, monologues and music performances by graduating seniors Ariana Lopez, Emma Ariagno, Hayden Larsen, Natalia Rivera and Chassion Rice. UIC School of Theatre and Music's Christine Dunford (Director), Brent Talbot (Head of Music), and Yasen Peyankov (Head of Theatre) gave seniors a final sendoff with inspiring speeches on leadership, mission, and navigating this world with the knowledge gained during their time at UIC.
Watch a short recap video of the commencement reception below.
