Every student who participated in the graduation ceremony received a carefully crafted ceremony booklet where they could find their own name according to their majors.

The statewide commencement ceremony was attended by nearly 1,000 graduates from campuses in the United States, Nicaragua, and China, covering a wide range of majors from Associate's, Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degrees. As a tradition at Keiser University, thousands of students' families were invited to share in this joyous occasion, as every student's academic success cannot be achieved without the support and encouragement of their families!

The most exciting part of the graduation ceremony was when the students received the blessing from the university leaders and received their degree certificates.
