Lavender Graduation is Tonight!

Lavender Graduations are held at colleges and universities throughout the country to honor the accomplishments of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and allied students. Students honored at these events have not only completed the academic requirements for a college degree but have also overcome the odds of being sexual minorities or at-risk populations during their school years. We honor them for that as much as for their papers, reports, and projects. Lavender Graduation is at 6:00pm in Woodis-McDonald Auditorium (Graves 118).
