ADPI+MENA Cultural Graduation
The Asian, Desi, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, and North African (ADPI+MENA) Cultural Graduation Celebration is a special gathering to honor the achievements, resilience, and cultural heritage of our graduates. This intimate event brings together peers, faculty, family, and friends to celebrate the incredible journey our graduates have taken at Cal Poly Humboldt. It is a time to recognize their hard work, reflect on their growth, and express gratitude to those who have supported them along the way. The ADPI+MENA Cultural Graduation Celebration is more than just a ceremony; it is a space to embrace and uplift the rich traditions and diverse experiences that shape our community.
This celebration is voluntary and is open to all graduating students who would like to participate, regardless of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.
