This event is held to celebrate the success of Asian and Pacific Islander graduates and to recognize the people who have supported them throughout their journeys. In addition to the campus-wide Commencement Ceremony, the API Graduation Celebration provides a safe environment to celebrate our culture, tradition, family support and success. For many first generation individuals, historically underrepresented, or traditionally marginalized students, a college diploma signifies success not only for themselves but also for their families. This event symbolizes the importance of breaking barriers and recognizes the diversity and achievements of graduating seniors, their families and their friends. |
