Dear Colleagues, 

Today marks the 76th Commencement Ceremony for Orange Coast College, concluding yet another successful academic year. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our classified professionals, faculty, and administrators whose tireless efforts make this event a truly memorable day for our students, their families, and friends.

The Commencement ceremony will take place at 5:30 p.m. at the Pacific Amphitheatre on the Orange County Fairgrounds. This year, we will proudly confer 5,505 degrees and certificates to 2,666 graduates, ranging in age from 18 to 72. This diverse group of graduates exemplifies the lifelong educational journey that we champion at OCC.

I look forward to celebrating our graduates, whose resilience, hard work, and commitment have brought them to this significant milestone. For more information on OCC's Commencement, please visit the commencement website.

Lastly, as we approach this Memorial Day weekend, I hope you find time to relax with loved ones while also remembering and honoring those who have served and sacrificed for our country.

Sincerely,
Angelica L. Suarez, Ph.D. 
Orange Coast College President
