Ashford to hold fall commencement Oct. 2

Ashford University's fall commencement ceremony will be held Oct. 2 at the Viejas Arena on Canyon Crest Drive.

“Ashford University’s faculty and staff members eagerly welcome our graduates and their guests to the city of San Diego,” Ashford President and CEO Craig Swenson said. “Commencement weekend will be filled with activities designed to celebrate the graduates’ academic and person achievements. The festivities culminate with all the traditional ‘pomp and circumstance’ of Sunday’s commencement ceremony.”

A campus celebration will be held Oct. 1 for graduates at Ashford’s San Diego headquarters located on Spectrum Center Boulevard. Various events have been planned for graduates and their guests, including college mixers, a military appreciation event, honor society meet-and-greets, a station to decorate graduation caps and a chance to have pictures made with the university’s mascot, Champ.

That evening, from 5-8 p.m., the celebration will be continued at the Dave and Busters on Camino Del Rio North, which will be hosted by the Ashford Alumni Association. Those who wish to visit must RSVP by Sept. 23.
