Building Bridges

Building Bridges Graduation Initiative

SDSU is proud to launch the 2nd Annual Building Bridges Graduation! This ceremony is dedicated to building bridges between the U.S.-México border by providing graduates whose immediate family members cannot cross the border to attend their SDSU commencement the opportunity to celebrate graduation with their loved ones in México. This historic ceremony was first implemented, in May 14, 2022,  by the Cross-Cultural Center at SDSU-Imperial Valley at Casa de la Cultura (Histórica Escuela Cuauhtémoc) en Mexicali, Baja California, México; with the support of the SDSU Office of the President, the Office of HSI Affairs, International Affairs, Associated Students of SDSU Imperial Valley, Chicanex Sin fronteras of SDSU Imperial Valley, and the SDSU-IV Professional Skills Development Center. 

This year the SDSU-IV Cross-Cultural Center is proud to collaborate with the Division of Student Affairs and Campus Diversity, and Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, MX to support our Building Bridges Graduating Class of 2024 along the California-Baja California borderlands by hosting a graduation ceremony at UABC-Mexicali and UABC-Tijuana. SDSU prides itself on being a Hispanic Serving institution by supporting the social justice of our Transfronterizx students at the California-Baja California borderlands.
