Hundreds of University of Iowa students received their degrees during spring 2012 commencement ceremonies May 10-13. (The College of Dentistry will hold its ceremony June 8.) This year, the UI also presented honorary degrees to three Iowans, hosted a slate of commencement-related events for graduates and their families, and welcomed back a Hawkeye basketball player-turned-coaching-legend (Iowa Now will have more on that on Tuesday, May 15).

Iowa Now captured moments from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences commencement ceremony, held Saturday, May 13, in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Click the thumbnails below for a closer look (and see this related story for some of the social media buzz around commencement).
