The Path to Graduation
From the Nominator
Fresno State surprised three graduates with messages from their families. These messages reminded the grads of their relentless work to get to this point and the lasting impact that their Bulldog success will have on themselves, their families, and their communities. Our featured graduates were overwhelmed with emotion after hearing heartfelt words from their parents, siblings, and children and shared their thoughts on how this accomplishment reaches well beyond themselves. The response from our community was an outpouring of support for our graduates and pride in our university.
From the Judges
We offer our congratulations to the California State University, Fresno team behind this powerful video. This was a game changer! The video was seamless and completely student-focussed, making it something that was truly meaningful and galvanizing for the graduating class. Capturing the family members in their homes provided significant texture and context and celebrated the diversity of Fresno State students.
