Events included an evening reception for the graduates and their families, a luncheon, the traditional cap-and-gown procession across campus, a formal ceremony in Caspary Auditorium and a campus-wide celebration on
the Peggy Rockefeller Plaza.

Members of the class of 2011 — 11 men and 12 women — come from seven countries: Brazil, England, Germany, Greece, India, Italy and the United States.

Of the 18 students in the Ph.D. program, 16 will go on to postdocs, one will be working in biotech and one is undecided.

The five participants in the Tri-Institutional M.D.-Ph.D. program will return to medical school to finish their medical degrees.
