Class of 2016 Commencement
More than 9,900 students will graduate from SDSU this year.
The culmination of the hardwork and dedication of more than 9,900 degree candidates will be celebrated this month at San Diego State University's Commencement ceremonies.
There will be eight separate ceremonies throughout the weekend, including one at SDSU’s Imperial Valley campus.
By tradition, SDSU’s Commencement ceremonies include a processional, introductions, awards, speakers and a recessional. Each processional is led by a grand marshal carrying a college banner, followed by faculty marshals in full academic regalia.
