The Lavender Celebration & Awards Ceremony (formerly known as Lavender Graduation) is an opportunity to recognize and honor the cumulative accomplishments of GLBTA students and scholars over the past year at the University of Minnesota.
All students graduating during the fall, spring or summer terms over the last academic year are invited to participate and be celebrated, and those who do will receive rainbow tassels and certificates to mark their achievements.
The GLBT Studies Awards for Excellence, the GLBTA Student Scholarships, and the Breaking the Silence Awards will be presented at this event. In 2008, the new GLBTA Student Leadership Awards were debuted.
Lavender Celebration & Awards Ceremony is a free event held on the Twin Cities campus and is open to the entire University of Minnesota community. We invite and encourage all students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members from the Crookston, Duluth, Morris, Rochester, and Twin Cities campuses to attend and celebrate the end of another academic year together.
If you would like to attend but are in need of transportation assistance, please email the GLBTA Programs Office.
