SIGNATURE PROGRAMS & INITIATIVES
Lavendar Graduation celebrates the achievements of our outstanding LGBTQ+ and ally graduating students. Lavender Graduation is a unique ceremony held annually to honor the struggles many LGBTQ+ students face in accessing and achieving their education. It does not replace traditional commencement activities, but is a special time to come together in a community of celebration as well as honor our Lavender Graduates. LGBTQ+ and ally students graduating from their undergraduate, graduate or professional programs are invited to participate. Queer History Month reflects upon and encourages learning from the past while also uplifting the idea that we are constantly creating our own histories as individuals, collectives, and communities. D.E.A.C. Allies is the central platform for education and skill building offered by the LGBTQ+ Center. The D.E.A.C. Allies approach centers LGBTQ+ voices across intersections of identity and focuses on the facilitation of narrative sharing, the generation and acquisition of knowledge, and the development of practical skills for participants.
