Thousands of graduates, parents, families, faculty and friends gathered for a historic weekend celebration of the graduating class of 2023 at California’s first and oldest university. 

It also marked the award of the Order of Pacific, the university's highest honor, to Regent Norman Allen. The award was presented by his longtime mentor and friend Judy Chambers ’58, ’60, former vice president for student life.

Thousands of graduates, parents, families, faculty and friends gathered for a historic weekend celebration of the graduating class of 2022 at California’s first and oldest university.

It also marked the conferral of an honorary doctoral degree to Super Bowl-winning NFL Head Coach and double alumnus Pete Carroll, who earned his bachelor’s degree from Pacific in 1973 and his master’s in 1978.

The classes of 2020 and 2021 had their long-awaited moment to walk across the stage as Pacific held a special commencement as part of “Pacific Roars Back” Homecoming and Family and Friends weekend. More than 6,000 celebrants were on hand to cheer the graduates.
