Following two years of virtual and hybrid ceremonies due to the COVID-19 pandemic, commencement celebrations are returning to in person at California State University, Northridge later this month.

CSUN’s commencement celebrations begin on Saturday, May 14, with the university’s Honors Convocation, and will conclude the evening of Monday, May 23. Approximately 11,680 students from the class of 2022 are eligible to participate in this year’s graduation celebrations. The festivities include special ceremonies on Friday, May 20, for graduates of fall 2019, spring 2020, summer 2020, fall 2020, spring 2021 and summer 2021 who want to take part in an in-person graduation.

All the graduation ceremonies will be held on the University Library lawn, located at the center of campus at 18111 Nordhoff St. in Northridge. They also can be watched live online on YouTube or on Facebook.

“Commencement is a magical time for our campus community,” said CSUN President Erika D. Beck. “We celebrate the accomplishments of our students, recognizing their academic achievements and the hard work and determination they invested to complete their degrees. We also salute the families and loved ones who supported our students on their academic journeys. The ingenuity and resilience of our students during these past two years is extraordinary, and we are elated to celebrate this particularly momentous accomplishment in person.”

Honors Convocation begins at 6 p.m. on May 14. This year’s convocation speaker will be CSUN President Erika D. Beck. Beck took office in January 2021, succeeding former President Dianne F. Harrison, who retired in early 2021. Beck came to CSUN from CSU Channel Islands, where she was president for more than four years. Prior to that, she was provost and executive vice president at Nevada State College.
