Graduation Issue 2025

Submit your graduate’s name, photo, and your message here.

Graduation is swiftly approaching! California Lutheran University’s student newspaper, The Echo, is offering you the opportunity to send a personalized message to your graduate. Each year we produce a special, full-color graduation issue in which you can congratulate your students on their achievements. The graduation issue will be distributed to graduating seniors at the Gumby Grad Fest on Thursday, May 15.

Not going to Grad Fest? No worries! If you placed a message to your graduate, you will receive a copy in the mail courtesy of Cal Lutheran’s Alumni & Family Relations. Please be patient as your issue will be mailed after the commencement ceremony.

Your ad purchase supports Cal Lutheran’s award-winning student newspaper, The Echo, and the work of student journalists.
