Keynote: Sebastián J. Colón-Otero, LCSW Diversity Coordinator-Latinx Community Liaison | Counseling and Mental Health Center
Lavender Graduation is hosted by the Gender and Sexuality Center and co-sponsored by the UT Queer & Trans Students Alliance (QTSA), the Pride and Equity Faculty Staff Association (PEFSA), the Pride Alumni Network, and the Queer Graduate Student Alliance(QGSA). Our goal is to provide a venue to demonstrate the success of our community members in a personal, entertaining and celebratory way. The Lavender Graduation Ceremony includes:
- exhilarating speeches from UT faculty, administrators, students, and alumni;
- the chance to cross the lavender stage to celebrate your success and to receive a Lavender Graduation certificate as well as a rainbow tassel; and
- music, cupcakes and food to share with friends, family and well-wishers!
