Congratulations, Class of 2025!
Graduation is a time to celebrate your achievements with family and friends as you move on to your next phase of life. We are excited to offer an in-person commencement ceremony for #FLCclassof2025!
The Commencement program will be updated after April 7, including the list of graduates, program outline, and graduation speaker.
Tommy Orange is an acclaimed author and an enrolled member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma. He gained national recognition with his debut novel, There There, a New York Times bestseller that explores the complexities of urban Native American life. The novel was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, longlisted for the National Book Award, and won the PEN/Hemingway Award and the Center for Fiction's First Novel Prize. His second novel, Wandering Stars (2024), continues his powerful examination of identity, displacement, and intergenerational trauma.
Orange earned his MFA from the Institute of American Indian Arts and has received fellowships from MacDowell and Writing by Writers. Born and raised in Oakland, California, his writing is known for its unflinching portrayal of modern Indigenous experiences in urban settings.
