Welcome to the Pacifica Graduate Institute 2021 Virtual Commencement Information Page

SATURDAY, MAY 29, 2021

We would like to take a moment to congratulate all 2021 graduates on the completion of your graduate degree here at Pacifica Graduate Institute. We appreciate the hard work and dedication that you have devoted to your journey here with us. We acknowledge and appreciate all of the patience and steadfastness in each student as we navigated through the uncertainties and challenges of this last year. May the heart and soul of Pacifica carry through to the next chapter of your life and into the work that you will be doing out in the world.

Due to last year’s cancellation of commencement ceremonies, we would like to extend a warm welcome to the graduates of 2020 to the plenary session.

We look forward to hosting all 2020 and 2021 graduates, as well as loved ones, for the Virtual Commencement Plenary Session on Saturday, May 29, 2021 at 11:00 am PST, to celebrate this meaningful day. All program-specific, intimate commencement ceremonies for the 2021 graduates will follow the plenary session. You will receive further information from your program.
