The convocation ceremony included remarks from the office of Councilmember Henry L. Foster III (District 4), a keynote address by Shirley N. Weber, Ph.D., California Secretary of State, and a performance by African American ancestral storyteller Alyce Smith-Cooper.

SDCCE serves approximately 30,000 students annually spanning from the Miramar community in the north to Barrio Logan in the south and awards more certificates of completion annually than any other noncredit adult educational institution in California. 

The celebration serves as the kick-off to recognize the legacy the College of Continuing Education has contributed to noncredit education.
