Join us as we celebrate our 2026 Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science graduates.

• Noon – 2 p.m.: Commencement ceremony
• 2 p.m.: Event concludes

Tickets: 

**Registration has closed for this event. We are at maximum capacity and unable to distribute any extra guest tickets (that extended deadline has passed). For questions or concerns, please contact vsegall@health.ucsd.edu. Thank you.**

Graduates: Please register by Friday, May 22 at 11:59 p.m. PDT. Please register by Monday, May 18 at 11:59 p.m. PDT in order to have your name included in the commencement program. Each graduate can order one (1) ticket for themselves, and up to four (4) additional tickets for guests. Please do not try to submit a duplicate request or submit a request for faculty/staff - the duplicate request will be voided and will not be usable. The end of May/early June we hope to have a better idea if there is availability for more guest tickets, and our education program coordinators will notify the graduates of how to request additional tickets, if available.
