CANDEL Graduates 2022

Congratulations to the 14 CANDEL graduates of 2022! All graduating students were recognized during the June 2022 commencement ceremony at the Mondavi Center, UC Davis. We also welcomed back alumni who had missed the opportunity to attend in-person graduation ceremonies in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions.
