As numerous forces upended our world, you held your dreams steadily in sight and persisted in your studies through challenges none of us could have imagined. Unlike any other CSU graduating class past or future, you have by necessity developed and demonstrated skills—far beyond your academic work—that will ensure your continued success: resilience, flexibility, resourcefulness, patience and tenacity. While so much and so many have been lost, your resolve has shone as a symbol of hope and optimism—and you should be proud. On behalf of the entire California State University community, I am certainly proud to present you to the world as our newest class of CSU alumni, joining an impressive international network now nearly 4 million strong. Together, you will power the recovery of our state and nation, educate our next generation, fight for social justice, and create new and sustainable opportunities for health, security and prosperity for us all. I encourage you to stay connected to your campus and your peers, to look for opportunities to give back, and to support the future generations who will follow in your footsteps. And as our many months of physical separation begin to come to a close, I hope you will hold in your hearts all of those who have supported you from afar. The faculty who broadened and deepened your understanding of the world. The counselors, advisors, librarians, tutors, coaches, facilities and support staff who created a nurturing environment of care and growth. Your family and friends, whose belief in you never wavered. All of these people have been forever impressed by your spirit, determination and accomplishments. Please count me among them—and I know you will continue to make us proud. Again, congratulations to the class of 2021! Sincerely, Joseph I. Castro Chancellor 1 San Diego State University 122ND COMMENCEMENT 2 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Graduate: On behalf of the San Diego State University community, congratulations on your graduation! I wish to acknowledge the dedication, resilience, and support of all those who helped you get here: your family members, friends, your SDSU faculty and staff—all of whom played an important role to support or mentor you during your degree. Just as important, the personal dedication, courage, and tenacity you have demonstrated this past year exemplify the critical skills California and the world needs to move us to a brighter future. Your graduation marks not just a moment of celebration; it honors the years of learning and growth which precedes it. At the same time, our graduation ceremony is referred to as a commencement—the point at which something begins, not where it ends. This month, in more ways than one, marks a new beginning for you. You are now a graduate. You are now formally recognized for your years of study and expertise in a field aligned with your career aspirations. You are also now part of San Diego State University’s proud alumni tradition as the Class of 2021. This is an exceptional family to join—a community of nearly 476,000 living alumni throughout the United States and abroad—known for leading and serving our region and our world. SDSU alumni create and grow businesses; serve communities as government officials, teach the next generation of leaders; make scientific discoveries; produce creative contributions to the arts; and advance innovations in countless fields. Now, as our world faces important challenges, it is your turn to lead and serve. We are certain that the skills that helped you succeed at SDSU will give you the confidence to take on the opportunities that lie ahead. As your list of accomplishments grows, we hope you will return often to your university, to your roots, to your home. There will be new generations of students looking to learn from you, as alumni. Know that we will always welcome you back. Your continued participation in the SDSU community is one of our future student’s most valuable assets. Today, you graduate with our respect, our pride, and with formal recognition of your achievements and your untapped potential. We are grateful for the role you have played in the life of this very special university, and celebrate you with heartfelt affection. With warm regards, Adela de la Torre, Ph.D. President 3 A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN Dear Fowler Graduates: Congratulations to you and your loved ones on this monumental achievement! Graduation marks the culmination of your hard work, resilience, and determination. I hope you can join us either in-person or virtually to celebrate. Taking part in this ceremony has always been a highlight of my career. It is a privilege to share in the joy and pride your family and friends feel when they see you achieve this significant milestone in your life. This year’s commencement takes on special meaning as it occurs at a time when we have reason to be hopeful that we are reaching the end of the pandemic that began in spring 2020. The pandemic undoubtedly altered our lives in many aspects but despite all the challenges and setbacks you have succeeded. You have reached this cherished day. You have my heartfelt respect and admiration. It is my hope that after graduation you embark on a journey as a lifelong learner. I hope you commit yourself to always seeking out the latest ideas, tools, and technology. Embrace change. Your education has enabled you to acquire and create new knowledge and I hope you use these skills to help us improve as individuals and as a society. Since the year of our founding in 1955, the Fowler College of Business has graduated over 60,000 alumni. We are proud of the accountants, entrepreneurs, managers, and many others who have demonstrated ethical leadership over the past decades and who have helped drive our economy and create jobs so that others can prosper. You follow in their footsteps and build on this great legacy. I wish you all the best and that you may live happy and successful lives. Please stay connected to your friends and colleagues at SDSU. Whatever adventures your future may bring, know that you will always be an Aztec for Life! With gratitude, Bruce A.
