Lavender Graduation is a historical event established to celebrate LGBTQ+ graduates and their amazing accomplishments while attending college and university. From the first Lavender Graduation in 1995 to the thousands of Lavender Graduations celebrated nationwide since, LGBTQ+ graduates continue to be honored for their experiences and contributions to their campuses that led them to graduation day.

This year's Lavender Graduation seeks to honor all our LGBTQ+ graduates during the ceremony where they will also receive their rainbow stoles, rainbow tassels, and other graduation items. This event is open to all LGBTQ+ Graduates. Whether graduating with a bachelors, masters, doctor​ate, or certificate, you are welcome to register for and be recognized at this event. Registration for graduates and RSVPs for their guests are required.
