We are thrilled to share the University's plan, recently announced by President Folt, to celebrate the graduating class of 2020 and 2021 with an in-person ceremony at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (from May 14-25). A virtual celebration for our school will take place on Thursday, May 13th. We will share additional details on both as they become available.
Graduates who participate in the in-person ceremonies will have the opportunity to process across the stage, hear their name announced, receive their diploma covers, and have photos taken while projected on the screens at the stadium.
