Class of 2024,

I look forward to celebrating with you this spring as you reach a major milestone in both your educational journey and life — graduation. These years have been full of memorable moments, new discoveries and the satisfaction of meeting challenges. It is with great pleasure that I invite you and your family and loved ones to San Francisco State’s 123rd commencement ceremony.

Your commencement will be held at Oracle Park on Friday, May 24, 2024, with the processional beginning at 5:30 p.m. The Commencement ceremony is the University's tribute to you, and it is our opportunity to recognize your achievements, your degree and your transition to becoming a member of our distinguished family of alumni.

Many faculty members with whom you have studied will join us at the ceremony, as well as other distinguished guests to mark the achievements of the Class of 2024.

By many individual paths, you have each achieved this major goal. Some of you have been able to pursue your studies full time while others have reached this moment by a longer route, combining work, family responsibilities or both with your academic program. You are, now and for all the years to come, one of ours — alumni of San Francisco State University.

Congratulations on the realization of this notable goal and on work well done. I hope you and those close to you will join us for a joyful expression of the University's pride in you. I look forward to seeing you on the field at Oracle Park.

Sincerely yours,

Dr. Lynn Mahoney

President
