Congratulations, UCLA College Class of 2024!

A group of jubilant graduates in traditional black caps and gowns are captured mid-jump against a backdrop of Royce Hall with it's famed arched entryways. The graduates, facing away from the camera, are seen tossing their caps high into the air, marking a celebratory moment under the clear, sunny skies that signify the bright future ahead.
