Receptions & Celebrations

Graduation is a huge milestone and Commencement celebrations are just around the corner! 

Not only are we celebrating students in the Commencement ceremonies, additional celebrations and receptions are being offered. As part of Commencement registration, students are asked to register to participate in their affiliated college reception and/or any cultural celebration of their choosing. 

Cultural Graduation celebrations are an intimate gathering of peers, colleagues, friends and family to celebrate the achievements and perseverance of students who share similarities in lived experience and culture.
