Cultural and Academic Graduation Celebrations Begin
May 6, 2022
A look into the upcoming graduation festivities
California State University, East Bay students who identify as Black, Chicanx/Latinx, Pilipinx, APIDA (Asian Pacific Islander Desi American), and Asian/API will participate in cultural and academic graduation festivities this weekend, after being held virtually for the past few years.
These gatherings are smaller and more intimate than the university’s commencement ceremonies, allowing each group to maintain its cultural customs, and keynote speakers are typically included.
