Lavender Graduation is a unique convocation ceremony that honors the academic achievements of UIC’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and allied (LGBTQA) graduating class. Lavender Graduation is one of the Gender and Sexuality Center’s hallmark programs.
The event is open to students from every college at UIC and our graduate pool grows larger each year. Students throughout the years have testified that the prospect of walking in “Lav Grad” motivates them through tough times with juggling classwork and other obligations. In addition to several other programs we offer, Lavender Graduation supports the attraction, retention and successful graduation of many LGBTQA students each year.
The graduate and guest registration links are now available!
Please register yourself and your guests today, and pass the links on to others.
