U-M-Dearborn graduates celebrate with members of the class of 2026 (above).

President Mary Sue Coleman (above left) urges graduates to take a last look at their favorite spots on campus, but also to return soon. Julius Chambers, speaker at the Graduate Exercises, meets with Coleman (above right). He spoke about diversity and the legacy of the Brown v. Board of Education U.S. Supreme Court decision. “We have moved a long way over the past 50 years toward insuring equal opportunities for all citizens,” he said. “We haven’t achieved our goal, but Brown v. Board of Education, which we commemorate this year, has helped to make much of our progress possible.”
