2023 Undergraduate Commencement
Creating Memorable Events

From commencement to exceptional gatherings, we unite our campus community in celebration.

Ceremonies and Special Events

Ceremonies and Special Events (CSE) is a unit within the UC Davis Office of the Chancellor and Provost. We are an events team committed to hosting top-notch and unforgettable events on behalf of Chancellor May and Provost Croughan.

Located on the Davis campus, our events span over the causeway to Sacramento and throughout the region. Throughout the year, the CSE team collaborates with various campus units, students, staff, and faculty to create events, both large and small, for the UC Davis campus.

Our event portfolio includes commencement ceremonies for UC Davis graduate and professional schools and the undergraduate colleges, the Chancellor's Colloquium series, and various events honoring faculty, staff, and students. We successfully collaborate with numerous campus units to produce high-profile events such as groundbreakings, building dedications, award galas, and Picnic Day.

We hope to see you at one of the events we plan in the future!
