Everyone is invited to support UCR's Class of 2026 AAPI graduates. Asian American and Pacific Islander-identifying students graduating with UCR's class of 2026 will celebrate with their AAPI community at this pre-celebration event before the official campus-wide Commencement ceremonies.

⭐️ While official Commencement guest tickets are limited, this pre-celebration is open to everyone. 

• We welcome friends, family, faculty, staff, alumni, community members, and local educators, as well as high school and community college students aspiring to attend UCR.
• Tickets are not needed, but the SRC has a capacity of 3,000, so please arrive early or on time.
• This celebration does not replace the official Commencement ceremony associated with specific schools or colleges — it is an additional event.
