2023 commencement program

Santa Barbara City College

Congratulations Vaqueros!

Congratulations graduates. It is an honor to congratulate Santa Barbara City College’s Class of 2023. It is exciting to celebrate your accomplishments as you step into the future that you have worked so hard for. You have been resilient and have achieved this success during one of the most stressful and challenging times in our history, the COVID-19 pandemic.

As you celebrate your commencement, please recognize what you have achieved. This commencement is a critical milestone in your life, and it is because of your hard work and dedication that you are here today. Tomorrow you will start your new beginning – the new beginning that you have created for yourself, and for that, you should be so proud.

It is with a heavy heart that I say that this will be my final commencement as a college President. Congratulations on your graduation on behalf of the entire Santa Barbara City College community.

Onward,

Dr. Kindred Murillo Interim Superintendent/President
