Here is a larger version of the group shot. Higher resolution available upon request. See preceding post for individual shots. Also I'm sure there are other versions, taken with better cameras, that will be available soon.

Demography Graduation 2016, Liz O's version. Bigger version of group shot to come next. Pls. identify yourself and family members if you wish, and if the group allows this (I'm not sure if it does).

These are mostly photos of the flower arrangements (sorry, I'm reverting to my pre-UCB profession of gardener), however, there is the bonus panoramic shot of the group pose, assuming it will upload. Congrats to all!

Demography 2015 Graduation. Congratulations Sara Lopus and Futoshi Ishii, both receiving PhDs, and Julia Goodman, receiving the Outstanding GSI Award. Sara Lopus was also the recipient of the Hammel Prize for her dissertation research. This will be split in two parts, though the second has more flower pictures than people pictures, sorry. One thing it will have is a large scale panoramic shot of the traditional Demography Department Graduation Pose in front of the building. If some nice volunteers were to caption these for me it would be great!
