Garrett Yim, a former Cal State Fullerton student, was due to walk at graduation in spring 2014. Yim was forced to miss the ceremony, though not because of sickness or family affairs, but because he was busy touring Japan. Yim performs as Meishi Smile, producing a mix of noise and dream pop, and co-founded the record label Zoom Lens in 2009.
