It was a day full of excitement and pride. With about 300 master’s and doctoral candidates proudly receiving their degrees, our 91st Commencement ceremonies held Saturday, May 12, marked a truly monumental occasion for our graduates and their family and loved ones, along with faculty, staff, and members of the CGU community. Acclaimed documentary filmmaker and scholar Daniel E. Walker served as the commencement speaker, while MBA graduate Whitney Martinez (who is also working on a PhD in political science at CGU) was our student commencement speaker. Alumna Jeanne Holm (MA, Information Systems Management, ’01), who serves as Los Angeles’ city deputy chief information officer/assistant general manager and senior technology advisor to Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, was this year’s Distinguished Alumni Award recipient and gave the commencement charge. Our honorary degree recipients were Walker, artist and San Diego State University associate Professor Kim Stringfellow, and ayz (pronounced “eyes”) CEO and founder Zubaida Bai. Our Distinguished Alumni Service Awards were given to Ralph H. Miller (PhD, Psychology, ’79) (posthumously), and Felton Williams (PhD, Education, ’85). For more than 90 years, Claremont Graduate University has been a leader in graduate education. 40 master’s and 19 doctoral degree fields. Limited enrollment, renowned faculty, and small class sizes devoted entirely to graduate study. At CGU we put students first.
