"Forge resilience, 2019 Lavender Graduation" text over a patterned rainbow background

VCU New Student & Family Programs will partner with a variety of offices in April to sponsor the Lavender Graduation Ceremony, an event that celebrates the achievements of graduating gender and sexual orientation minority students and their allies.

All students who participate receive a rainbow cord to wear with their academic regalia during Commencement activities and are invited to join the LGBT and Allies Alumni Chapter.

Representatives from VCU New Student & Family programs will run a photo booth for our LGBTQIA+ graduates and their families to commemorate the event.

To participate, please register by Thursday, April 18, 2019. December 2018, May 2019 and August 2019 graduates and their guests are invited to attend. The ceremony will be held Friday, April 26, 2019, 6-8 p.m. in the Academic Learning Commons Room 1107 with a reception to follow in the building lobby.
