Rewatch 2024 Spring Commencement and Doctoral Hooding

The University celebrated the achievements of the Class of 2024 at Doctoral Hooding and Spring Commencement this weekend.

For friends and family who aren’t able to be in Chapel Hill, or those who want to rewatch, a livestream is available for both ceremonies.

Carolina’s doctoral candidates were recognized during a 9 a.m. ceremony Saturday, May 11 at the Dean E. Smith Center. Graduate students who earned their Ph.D.s in the past academic year will have the hood of their Commencement regalia conferred by their advisers or dissertation committee chairs.

Angeli Achrekar (’13 DrPH), deputy executive director of the Programme Branch at Joint United Nations Programme on HIV-AIDS and an assistant secretary-general of the United Nations, delivered the keynote address.

Spring Commencement was held at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 11 at Kenan Stadium. NASA astronaut Zena Cardman ’10, ’14 (MS), who’s set to travel to space later this year, was the keynote speaker.
