The Class of 2018 has thousands of stories. The students who will walk the Lawn during Final Exercises weekend, May 18-20, include child prodigies and those who went back to school mid-career; there are artists, lawyers, scientists, pilots and every possible combination.

Continuing a University of Virginia tradition, outgoing President Teresa A. Sullivan will deliver the commencement address at the 189th Final Exercises on May 19 and 20.
