Dear SDCCE Community,

Since our founding in 1914, San Diego College of Continuing Education has proudly served as a cornerstone of equity, innovation, and access—educating generations of learners and transforming lives.

This year, we continue that legacy with the 2025 Fall Convocation, held on Monday, August 25 from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the San Diego Central Library while our beloved ECC Theatre undergoes renovation. The theme for this year’s celebration is “Sustained in Unity.” As we gather to begin a new academic year, we will honor the power of collaboration, shared purpose, and collective strength that defines SDCCE and propels us forward.

Please join me, our Chancellor, Board of Trustees, Vice Presidents, and honored guests for a morning of reflection, inspiration, and vision for the future of our college and the students we serve.

Fall Convocation Schedule:

• 7:30 a.m. Doors open
• 8:00 – 9:00 a.m. Registration/Continental Breakfast
• 9:00 – 12:15 p.m. Presentations and Featured Speakers
• 12:15 – 1:30 p.m. President's Luncheon
• 1:30 – 4:30 p.m. Program and Department Meetings
