CHULA VISTA, Calif. (KGTV) -- Southwestern College’s graduating class of 2021 is celebrating their achievement Friday with a "commencement car parade" around the campus in Chula Vista and a virtual ceremony.
School officials said over 800 SWC graduates will be in their “festively decorated cars and trucks” as they travel along a designated parade route around the campus (900 Otay Lakes Road) on May 28.
With music playing and school staff and faculty cheering them on, the graduates will drive under an inflatable arch as their names are called over a loudspeaker.
The parade is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m., and officials said students will enter the campus from the East H St. entrance by DeVore Stadium and meet in Lot J prior to the event.
