Records continued to fall during California State University, Northridge’s commencement proceedings, as an all-time high of more than 11,500 graduates reached this life-changing moment. Starting with Honors Convocation on May 12 and continuing May 18 to 21 with seven commencement ceremonies, CSUN celebrated the close to another successful academic year, with the true stars being the graduates themselves.
World-renowned artist Judy Baca ’69, M.A. ’80 (Art) received an honorary doctorate on May 18, during the commencement proceedings for the Mike Curb College of Arts, Media, and Communication. A day later, entrepreneur and philanthropist Younes Nazarian was honored with an honorary doctorate of his own during the commencement for the college named after his son, the David Nazarian College of Business and Economics.
The energy was high during each of the celebrations, with students at the apex following years of hard work and study before taking the first steps toward their future. Here is a collection of photos from all the ceremonies.
