Dear Toro Graduates, Activist Ruby Bridges tells us: Don't follow the path. Go where there is no path, and begin with the trail. When you start a new trail equipped with courage, strength, and conviction, the only thing that can stop you is you.

6 On behalf of the faculty, staf, and senior administration of California State University, Dominguez Hills, I extend congratulations to the Class of 2022 as you prepare to carve out new pathways to opportunity, career, and civic engagement. To reach this momentous occasion, you had to overcome a myriad of obstacles, the likes of which have been truly unprecedented. You and your families have endured a series of crises, including a health pandemic and a host of social justice issues that challenged our intellectual and emotional sensibilities.

7 When the COVID-19 crisis hit, it threw everyone's plans into fux. You persevered as courses were moved to an online virtual environment, adapting admirably to drastic and life-altering changes with the composure and determination that characterizes the Toro community. I am beyond proud of the resilience that you have shown through these most stressful and disorienting of times. Commencement is a time for celebration and refection. It's a time to appreciate the road you have traveled, and the journey that has brought you here.

8 Portions of your journey may have been rocky, but you kept your eyes on the prize, and have grown intellectually, emotionally, socially, and perhaps, also spiritually. Today, you arrive at CSUDH's Commencement having earned a college degree and realized a goal that you have worked diligently towards. It is a cause for much joy and exuberance, and the entire university community joins in celebrating your hard-earned success. Your graduation journey has been infuenced by many who have been involved and played critical roles in your achievement.

9 Today is also a day to recognize and applaud your families, friends, signifcant others, faculty, advisors, and mentors who have supported, motivated, taught, and inspired you to persist and to succeed. As members of the Class of 2022, you join a vibrant and growing group of over 110,000 CSUDH. alumni who are transforming communities throughout California and the nation.
