This year, Otis College of Art and Design returned to in-person Commencement with an exciting ceremony held on Sunday, May 15 at the Westin Los Angeles Airport hotel near the Goldsmith campus. The in-person event was for ticketed family and friends of the graduating Class of 2022, but was also live-streamed on YouTube.
There were remarks by President Charles Hirschhorn, Provost Jiseon Lee Isbara, Board of Trustees Chair Mei-Lee Ney, and Valedictorian Haruka Yamamoto. This year’s Honorary Doctorate recipients were Miranda Kerr, CEO of KORA Organics; Evan Spiegel, CEO of Snap Inc.; and Emmy-nominated design expert Bobby Berk, all of whom addressed the graduating Class of 2022.
