Lavender Graduation
Lavender Graduation is a tradition at Oberlin College & Conservatory, which celebrates the accomplishments of LGBTQ+ graduates as they finish their time here on campus.
All graduating LGBTQ+ students are invited to participate. All participants are recognized for their accomplishments, given a cord, and are able to name a Significant Supporter who will be honored within the program.
A Significant Supporter is someone who has been influential during a student's journey through education; this can be a mentor, family member, friend, or someone else who has helped them on their journey.
There is no cost to participate in this ceremony. If you are a senior graduating in Fall 2023 or Spring 2024 and would like to participate in this year's ceremony, please reach out to us at MRC@oberlin.edu. The deadline to sign up to participate in this year's ceremony is Friday, May 10th.
Any & all members of the campus community, as well as friends & family of the graduates, are invited to attend Lavender Graduation.
