Lavender Graduation
Lavender Graduation is a tradition at Oberlin College and 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 on our website and 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 the Spring or Fall of 2023 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 April 20, 2023.
Any & all members of the campus community as well as friends & family of the graduates are invited to attend Lavender Graduation. Click this link to RSVP as a guest for Lavender Graduation 2023.
