Streamers soar over graduating students of the College of Agriculture and College of Engineering, Computer Science, and Construction Management at the conclusion of their Commencement ceremony.

University photographers Jason Halley and Matt Bates captured excitement and joy as Chico State honored its 2024 graduates during spring Commencement.

More than 24,000 friends and family members, along with hundreds of Chico State faculty and staff, filled University Stadium over the course of seven ceremonies to help the more than 3,200 students commemorate the milestone.

Relive the magic of the 2024 Commencement through these albums available on our Flickr page. You can also view our social media videos capturing special moments from each Commencement ceremony on Instagram.
