Are you graduating in May, August or December 2012 from a UT Austin undergraduate or graduate program?
If so, join us to celebrate your success at the annual UT Lavender Graduation!
Lavender Graduation is a special graduation ceremony that honors the achievements of graduating lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and ally students on campus.
Lavender Graduation is co-hosted by the Gender and Sexuality Center and the UT Queer Students Alliance (QSA). Our goal is to provide a venue to demonstrate the success of our community members in a personal, entertaining and celebratory way. The Lavender Graduation Ceremony includes:
- exhilarating speeches from UT faculty, administrators, students, and alumni;
- the chance to cross the lavender stage to celebrate your success and to receive a Lavender Graduation certificate as well as a rainbow tassel; and
- music, cake and food to share with friends, family and well-wishers!
