Success has outgrown the football stadium. With more that 800 students walking at this year’s commencement celebration, college officials for the second straight year decided to hold morning and afternoon ceremonies in order to fit all the spectators. It was a good call. The morning event filled about half the stadium while the p.m. ceremony was about 75 percent full.
A separate ceremony was held in Tijuana for transfronterizo students and their families. There was also, for the first time ever, a special Raza Graduation for Chicano students that was held on the main campus. MEChA students had lobbied for the raza ceremony for several years.
“It is lovely to see so many wonderful students celebrating this special day,” said Honorary Degree recipient Professor Angelina Stuart. “So many bright futures awaiting them.”
