Commencement Banquet

2009 Fall Commencement Photos

Friday night, December 17 the Darling Pavilion at Hope International University was beautifully decorated and filled with happy graduates and their special guests. More than 265 people had braved the weather to gather and honor the Fall 2010 graduates of HIU’s Pacific Christian College and the School of Graduate and Professional Studies at a special Commencement Banquet. The celebratory evening was filled with live music, inspirational speeches, great food and special recognition for outstanding graduates.

PCC distinguished graduates Candace Bridges, Jessica Aho, Bryce Wilson, Lynda Berg and Kimberly George each received Latin Honors, represented by the silver (cum laude), blue (magna cum laude) and white (summa cum laude) honor cords.

Distinguished graduate Willa Williams received the burgundy & gold cord representing Alpha Sigma Lambda National Honors.

26 Masters graduates also participated in a special Hooding Ceremony in which each received their Master’s hood trimmed in the colors of their academic department.

As soon as the program concluded, Operations staff quickly tore down the tables and turned the room around to prepare for the more than 800 guests and graduates who would be attending the Commencement Ceremony the following morning.
