CSUN Commencement Will Return to Campus

Graduation at Cal State Northridge will return to campus this spring in the wake of last year’s problem-plagued ceremony, which was at the Hollywood Bowl.

Commencement is scheduled to be held at 10 a.m. May 25 at the stadium, located on the university’s North Campus. Seating will be available for about 20,000 students, parents and other guests, said commencement planner Heidi Levy. He said problems last year--which included an hours-long traffic jam that delayed the arrival of participants and guests, including university President James W. Cleary--had little to do with the change. “The desire was always to hold it on campus whenever it could be,” Levy said.
