The 135th Commencement Ceremony at USC

The University of Southern California celebrated the graduating class of 2018 with a memorable Commencement ceremony on May 11, 2018. Look back at the grand occasion, when members of this year's graduating class officially became USC graduates and alumni.

2018 Baccalaureate Ceremony

Baccalaureate is a non-denominational, inter-faith celebration open to all students and their guests, and is a wonderful opportunity to bless the Class of 2018 as they proceed with the next stage of their lives. Look back at the full ceremony, which includes a concluding benediction over the graduating students.
