Formerly known as affinity graduations, the events awarded stoles and certificates for participating graduates.

The day proceeded in a new venue with the familiar rhythms and emotions of past commencement celebrations.

The event moved from a two-day affair at the Â鶹´å Stadium to a one-day unified event at the Salinas Sports Complex.

This spring semester, 703 students worked on the Â鶹´å campus.

This is the sixth time in the past nine years that the Otters have made the NCAA Division II Western Region playoffs.

The festival takes place May 17-19 across almost every academic area of campus.

They are an instructional designer with a passion for teaching, and a science researcher interested in soft robotics.

They're each grounded and ambitious, hyper-engaged on campus and off, thoughtful, daring and well-spoken.

All of them are poised to continue to cultivate their curiosity and education after graduation.

“As president of Â鶹´å, my favorite part of the job is getting to engage with our students."
