Details

The first Lavender Graduation ceremony was held at the University of Michigan in 1995. Dr. Ronnie Sanlo saw an opportunity to include many students who felt invisible during their college years and who were skipping the official graduation ceremony altogether. Today, Lavender Graduation is a key component of commencement season at many campuses throughout the country.

Following this tradition, our Binghamton University Lavender Celebration incorporates keynote speakers, entertainment and the annual Pride Awards. Each graduate is presented a rainbow cord as we celebrate student success!

The 10th Annual Lavender Celebration will be held at the end of Spring Semester 2026!
