Commencement Ceremonies
Six CSU campuses held commencement ceremonies in 2010 (and a special one in December 2009) to award honorary bachelor of humane letters degrees to Nisei students who had been forced to leave the universities after Executive Order 9066 was signed by then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt. View below by campus.
