Caps and gowns galore this weekend

Let the commencements commence! The rite of passage from undergraduate to graduate will keep both the Kohl Center and the Coliseum at Alliant Energy Center busy from Friday night through Sunday afternoon, as thousands of students get their diplomas from UW-Madison, Edgewood College and Madison Area Technical College. UW-Madison kicks off the graduation ceremonies Friday at 5:30 p.m. at the Kohl Center, with doctoral, professional and honorary degrees being awarded. That will be the first of five commencements for roughly 6,000 UW-Madison graduates.
