Class of '17 here. I was the last graduating class to have been able to attend the graduating ceremony at the Quad near the library when the President would shake every student's hand and a person's name is called. I actually recorded myself that day when people would throw confetti in the air and everyone was so happy. One of the best and memorable moments of my lifetime that I'll cherish forever. I really feel the pain for the graduates post-Covid. Who on earth would even think that attending a graduation ceremony at Angel Stadium would be ideal when it has nothing to do nor related with the School? Meanwhile schools like USC (my 2nd alma mater) continues the great tradition of allowing students to walk through the stage and hold a nice commencement. Go Trojans and Fight On!

I graduated college in 2020 and was gutted not to have a ceremony. All we had was a youtube live link where our names were read across a screen. No photo shown, no live video, just a name read through audio. This moment was important to me since i didn’t go to prom in high school. I regretted it and never wanted to miss another milestone moment in time. Cmon it’s time to lift that restriction.

That is so lame. Administration must have degrees in stupidity and ignorance to spend that much money to rent the stadium and with that press statement. They should refund a years tuition to all the graduates for that mess.

I was at sfsu graduation 2022 watching my bfs sister graduate and while some politician got almost 2 hrs of speech, the rest of the students didn’t even get to walk the stage. They were on the side of the giants field stadium picking up a blank diploma book and took a picture, except the valedictorian and the student council, no one else walked the stage. None of their names were called out, except the program they are graduating from. These students have the next everyday of their lives to listen to propaganda, they really should’ve made graduation what it is for, a ceremony congratulating the students for their work and determination in their field of study

They worked so hard for that day

They could have displayed each graduates name and picture on the jumbotron or at the very least their name on the ribbon board. Shame.

That why I decided to walk in 2024, I could have walk with my fellow classmates for 2023 but I have still 3 classes left for my Master program and would rather finish and come back to just walk next year

What's their given and/or actual reason for this? I thought for sure an explanation from the school would be given in this report.. would love to know their reason, rather than just speculation

CSULB signed a contract with Angels Stadium during the pandemic because at the time no one knew if and when the pandemic would end. When the ending came rapidly and everything started opening up, it made the 4-5 year contract useless. They can’t break the contract at all until the allotted time is met. Another reason they prefer the stadium is because it’s easier to keep track of students and has more security than campus. I personally would like to have the ceremony on campus. You attend a school just to graduate in a stadium? Nahh no thanks. Also, if there are cultural graduations held on campus why can’t the graduation ceremony be held there? Conoley and board caught lackin

At least their not graduating on a parking lot under a large white EDC type canopy

Real life is going to be hard on these spoiled children

If a change in graduation procedure triggers some of these students, the real world is going to destroy them. 🤦‍♂️

Hey! At least they weren’t the class of 2020!! Those guys really got screwed

lmao. pretty much every graduation in that year and the following

Schools are wanting money but can’t even give a name shoutout at the end

I didn't attend my graduation ceremony when I completed my BA. At my university all college degree candidates names were announced. Those not in attendance had their names announced toward the end of the ceremony. My best bud's dad told my father he'd heard my name announced and that I'd graduated with honors. Kind of hit me then that maybe it would've been a nice finale for all my hard work... and my parents support. Went straight to working on my Master's program. Not attending my BA graduation eventually made me feel as though I'd never paused... 4 years of Bachelor's, 3 years of Master's... It felt like one long, continuous run. Ceremony does indeed have its place. Consider it not only as a recognition of achievement, but there's certainly a psychological component as well.

Good! We don't need to celebrate individualism in school anymore. We are one group of people, and we must face the same struggles as one another.

They had to go to Orange County for graduation??

They have ever right to be upset. Parents and grandparents should be allowed to see these get rewarded for achievement. Mother was proud of me when I completed 6th grade.

They are fkn sheep

This has been an issue for years at CSULB, even before COVID. My graduation year they opt’d to do the ceremony in lower campus and no live orchestra. That was a big deal at the time. But having to sit with your parents? That sounds pretty terrible.

That's absolutely sad!!! In all seriousness all the money that those students have shelled out, all the hard work, the absolute mind numbing stress they endured and they can not be recognized for their hard earned work & sucess?!! What's wrong with people nowadays??!!!!!!!! They deserve the walk, the recognition, the celebration!! Especially spending the extra EXTRAVAGANT money for a "cap & gown" for the walk!!!!!

Who cares lol still knowing you did it should be good enough Jesus christ.

This is embarrassing for the university, their students have to take an L with a degree at full price

They proposed this for Cal State LA for Class of 2021 at the Rose Bowl Stadium. Same exact thing. No walking across stage and no names read aloud. We def shared our complaints and eventually it ended with the ceremony held at the school.

So many students and parents look forward to this day😢

This is absolutely SAD 😢❤. ONE ☝🏽 of the most important celebratory moments. What’s up with this LAZY COLLEGE. Give the students and families a TRADITIONAL GRADUATION. 🤦🏻‍♀️🧐🇺🇸

i sorry that your family couldn’t cheer you on when you graduated. these ceremonies are a big accomplishment for those who work really hard on their education

I graduated during the start of the pandemic and even we werr allowed to sit on the field of the stadium and we each got the diploma tube thing and we each got on stage and had our names said, how can they not do that, years after

There are kids who’s rights of passage is being given an AK and becoming a child soldier. It’s not that bad

I'd venture to say life is full of disappointments ... get over it.

WTH, I just applied here too. This better be fixed asap. How disrespectful.

Were there smaller satellite ceremonies? Like for schools or departments? My university did that. The main ceremony was mainly for the big name speaker, media, etc and then our names were called by our professor at smaller ceremonies throughout the weekend.

That’s so lame, I hope these kids understand the bs behind all of this and vote correctly in the future

I was soooo happy when I found out that I didn’t have to go to my college graduation in April 2020 due to covid. Best day of my life.
