Archive: UCSF Class of 2015 Share Laughs and Lessons as They Embark on Careers

By Kathleen Masterson

This year's graduating class has much to be proud of as they reflect on years of challenging work and colorful memories at UC San Francisco.

More than 900 students are earning degrees across the schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing and Pharmacy, as well as the Graduate Division and Global Health Sciences.

Members of the Class of 2015 also achieved a range of accomplishments in their time at UCSF: some were the first to go to graduate school in their families; some won national competitions and awards; others studied and worked in English for the first time; still others helped develop new health care procedures in local hospitals. Many credited the mentoring from faculty and staff members as a key to their success.

Before they embark on their new careers, we spoke with several students about their time at UCSF.
