Thank you for your interest in celebrating the success of our Latine Graduates! 

¡Gracias por tu interés en celebrar a nuestros graduados Latines!

  • This year’s celebration will take place at Caltech’s Beckman Auditorium, which has a smaller capacity. While this beautiful venue is more intimate, we’ve worked hard to ensure that as many familias, faculty, and staff as possible can be part of this joyful occasion.

  • Este año, la ceremonia se llevará a cabo en el Auditorio Beckman de Caltech debido a renovaciones en el auditorio de PCC. Aunque este hermoso espacio es más íntimo, hemos hecho todo lo posible para que tantas familias, profesores y personal como sea posible puedan ser parte de esta celebración tan especial.
