Otter Realm: Affinity Graduation Celebrations

CSUMB Celebrates Diversity Among Graduates

While many students are looking forward to commencement, did you know that there are different graduation ceremonies for certain groups on campus? Students that identify as Asian Pacific Islander, Chican@, Latin@, African American and LGBTQ+, as well as student athletes and students with disabilities are examples of groups that have Affinity Graduation Celebrations. These are groups of people who are drawn together based on shared identities or interests.
