LMU is pleased to share a new plan for Commencement 2025.
Commencement Season is a cherished tradition at LMU, marked by joyous and momentous events that celebrate the achievements of our students and their families. In February 2024, LMU announced plans to relocate Commencement exercises to an off-campus venue to address logistical challenges and safety concerns raised by public officials. While the university is aware of feedback shared by some community members about bringing the events back to campus, preference does not override safety and operational realities. However, the university has identified a growing list of concerns associated with traffic, transportation, and other large-scale events scheduled near the announced offsite location in downtown Los Angeles.
To honor our graduates and the university’s commitment to delivering an exceptional graduation experience, LMU reengaged city officials to explore a new approach for hosting Commencement 2025 on campus with key modifications. The new plan requires concessions to address logistical challenges, including event size, safety, and traffic.
We are bringing Commencement home to the bluff: LMU’s 113th Commencement Weekend will take place on the LMU Westchester Campus. Learn more.
