Congratulations to The Evergreen State College Class of 2024 - The JOLT News Organization, A 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization (2024)

By P. Jade Asumbrado

The Evergreen State College’s Class of 2024 held its commencement ceremony on Friday, June 14, on Red Square at the Olympia Campus.
“Congratulations Class of 2024! You came to Evergreen for the ability to determine your own distinctive path, explore your passions and nurture your curiosity,” the college’s program stated.

The ceremony began with a processional led by Nathalie Yuen, Ph.D., Member of the Faculty and Chair of the Faculty Agenda Committee, with the Artesian Rumble Arkestra.

Evergreen's 2024 commencement ceremony took place on Fri., Jun. 14, 2024.

David McAvity, Ph.D., Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, presented the candidates for graduation. Next, Karen Fraser, MPA, Chair of the Board of Trustees, conferred the degrees.

The event closed with the singing of the Alma Mater and the Geoduck Fight Song, both songs written in 1971 by Malcolm Stilson, M.L., Emeritus Librarian, and arranged by Linda Waterfall (2007).

The Class of 2024 voted to allot donations to the Student Emergency Fund as their official graduating class gift. Evergreen parents created the fund in 2015 to be a helping hand when "life happens." This fund offers year-round microgrants to provide immediate relief to students in their needs, from flat tires to unforeseen medical bills.

Note: The program list sent to The JOLT are students whose paperwork was finalized by May 8, 2024.

Evergreen's 2024 commencement ceremony took place on Fri., Jun. 14, 2024.
