The 2026 DBBS Hooding & Recognition Ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday, May 12, starting at 9:00 AM in Graham Memorial Chapel.
We look forward to celebrating another year of graduates!
Congratulations to Our 2025 Graduates!
On May 9, 2025, the Roy and Diana Vagelos Division of Biology and Biomedical Sciences (DBBS) proudly recognized 88 outstanding graduates.
We are honored to have been joined by 98 faculty members, including DBBS Program Directors, Department Chairs, and dedicated mentors who guided and supported students every step of the way.
We are also privileged to have hosted Dr. Nicquet Blake, Vice Provost of Student Academic Affairs and Dean of the Graduate Division at UC San Francisco, as our distinguished guest speaker. A proud DBBS alumna herself, Dr. Blake inspired our graduates with a powerful message:
“I’m asking you students to double-down. To do the courageous science. To take big risks in your area… Think about how you can help bridge the [science] communication gap.”
The Division is immensely proud of our graduates’ achievements. We are excited to see the bold, transformative impact they will make in the world!
