Lavender Graduation is a special ceremony for LGBTQ and Ally undergraduate and graduate students to acknowledge their achievements, contributions, and unique experiences at Georgetown University. This is an opportunity to celebrate the graduating students and bring the community together, along with our distinguished guests, to share in our history and progress.

Invite those who have been a part of your journey here on campus. This does not mandate anyone’s participation nor sign them up officially. Deadline for pre-registration is January 27th.

Award Nominations

As part of Lavender Graduation, we take a moment to recognize the accomplishments and contributions of the graduating students during their time on campus. We welcome any enrolled student, faculty, or staff member to nominate a graduating student, faculty, or staff member for one of our six awards. Learn more about the awards here and make nominations here by March 20th.
