Commencement season is upon us — a time of celebration, reflection and boundless hope for the future! As president, I see graduation as a privilege to honor the hard work, determination and dreams of our graduating students, each of whom represents the very best of Fresno State.
Each diploma conferred this season represents not only academic achievement, but the courage to dream fearlessly and work tirelessly toward a better future. Our graduates stand as living testaments to the transformational power of higher education — and to the impact of a university deeply rooted in service, innovation and community.
None of these accomplishments happen in isolation. They are made possible by the collective commitment of our university community. To our faculty and staff: thank you for the passion, mentorship and unwavering support you pour into our students every day. Your dedication elevates not only individual lives but also the entire region we proudly serve.
This season, we also celebrate our own Fresno State employees who have balanced professional responsibilities while pursuing their degrees. Their remarkable achievements inspire all of us to keep striving and growing — personally, academically and professionally.
At Fresno State, we understand that the success of our graduates reverberates far beyond our campus borders. It strengthens families, lifts communities and shapes the future of the Central Valley and beyond. As we send forth the Class of 2025, we do so with immense pride and deep optimism for the difference they will make in the world.
Congratulations to the Class of 2025, and heartfelt gratitude to the entire Fresno State community. Together, we build brighter futures — for our students, for the Valley and for generations to come.
With Bulldog pride and appreciation,
Saúl Jiménez-Sandoval, Ph.D.
President
