Lavender Ceremony
GSA, TAGS, and QPOC are happy to announce CSW's Second Lavender Graduation!
A Lavender Graduation is an LGBTQIA+ graduation celebration founded at the University of Michigan by Dr. Ronni Sanlo in 1995. Since then, Lavender Graduation has spread to several universities and colleges; it's intended to create an event that would bring together LGBTQIA+ students to celebrate each other, their hard work, and achievements. This is also a way for the school to honor LGBTQIA+ graduating seniors and their contributions to the CSW community.
We will celebrate Lavender Graduation on June 4th during lunch at the amphitheater (if it rains we will move to the Thompson Gallery.) Students & Faculty who identify as LGBTQ+ are welcome to attend. Seniors, please RSVP through this Google form so that we know how many will be attending plus any dietary restrictions we need to take note of. Graduating students will have the opportunity to pick up lavender pins that they can wear during graduation. Those who wish to stay anonymous can pick up pins in KB, Chris, or Adriel's offices.
Hope to see you there!
