Biographical / Historical

The earliest commencement ceremonies in Cal Poly Pomona's history took place at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, the first Cal Poly campus. In 1938, Cal Poly added the Voorhis Unit in San Dimas and, eleven years later, the current campus of Cal Poly Pomona - known as the Kellogg Campus - became part of Cal Poly. At that time, the two southern campuses were known collectively as "Kellogg-Voorhis."
In 1956, the Kellogg Campus opened as the main southern campus for instruction and, a year later, the first commencement ceremony at the current campus occurred on June 14, 1957. That ceremony, held in the Kellogg Campus Rose Garden, featured an address by California State Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Roy Simpson. Fifty nine students received their degrees from four programs: General Crop Production, Horticultural Services and Inspection, Fruit Production, and Ornamental Horticulture. In 1964, commencement ceremonies moved to the quad.
The southern campus split from San Luis Obispo in 1966 and became known as California State Polytechnic College, Pomona. In 1972, it would be granted university status.
During the commencement ceremonies, the name of each graduating student is announced. When the number of graduating students started to increase, the university began holding two separate commencement ceremonies in the University quad. Half of the students would attend a morning ceremony and half would attend an afternoon ceremony.
The continued growth in attendance forced the university to change that format in 1985. The school began holding a general ceremony for all students at Kellogg Field in the morning. Students would then spread out to various locations on campus for a ceremony with their specific school. In 1987, Cal Poly Pomona was authorized to change the names of its schools to colleges and the change became effective on January 4, 1988.
In 1993, the university began holding separate commencement ceremonies for each college over two days. In 2006, more than 5,200 students were eligible for graduation.
Notable commencement speakers from previous commencement ceremonies include United States Congreswoman Hilda Solis (1994, College of Education and Integrative Studies); former National Football League quarterback and former Cal Poly Pomona football player Jim Zorn (1979); actor Raymond Burr (1982 and 1991); and Los Angeles television anchor Jess Marlow (1983).
