Pasadena’s City College’s Black Grad Celebration complements the campus’ Commencement Exercises by acknowledging and celebrating African American students and their families in a way that is culturally relevant.
This event is free! We will honor our graduating students with music, performers, speakers, and a certificate of achievement.
