Warm, dry weather has finally arrived to stay, and spring quarter is rapidly coming to a close, drawing students and employees out for plein air relaxing and studying at the Quad and Silo gathering areas. Here, Ernie Garcia, left, and her dog, Candy, join former colleagues Janet Collins of Letters and Science and Mary Ann Smith of the registrar's office on the Coffeehouse patio. Garcia and Collins know something about home stretches — Garcia retired just last week, and Collins is set to retire July 1. Campus instruction ends June 8, and nine commencement ceremonies are slated between June 11 and June 19. For more details about commencement, see the story on Page 3.
