- ↑ Lafleur, Jennifer [@lafleurjennifer]; (June 14, 2026). "A few decades ago, Ross left UC Santa Cruz with one class left to graduate when he came down to LA to work as an actor. He intended to go back to finish but work and life just kept on coming. It's always nagged at him, and this past Fall he finally took his final UCSC course and aced it— despite booking a big role during the midterms and swapping back and forth between memorizing lines and taking notes on seafloor structure and tectonic plate movement. I am admittedly a total sap, so at my insistence (begging) he walked for the commencement ceremony this weekend. When they called his name and he walked across the stage, our nearly 6-year old daughter yelled out, "That's my daddy!!" And she got to see that life is not made up of straight lines. Every life is different. And we can all carve our own path to the life we want. Happy Graduation Ross Whitman Partridge, class of 2026, UCSC. 👨🏻🎓💗 #ucsc #ucscgrad #ucscgraduation #lovethatguy".
