In addition to Fresno State’s six in-person Commencement ceremonies for schools and colleges, a usual commencement season features a number of celebrations for “affinity” or identity groups, to allow smaller, more intimate celebrations with others they share identity with.

This year those affinity celebrations will be held virtually. Events are listed in chronological order.
