Lavender Graduation 2026

Lavender Graduation is a ceremony that celebrates the achievements of graduating undergraduate, graduate, and professional students in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, and ally (LGBTQQIA+) community from Cornell University. Please join us on April 30, 2026 from 7-9:30pm in Biotech G10 to celebrate our Lavender Graduates!

While Lavender Graduation celebrates the achievements of graduating students, this event is also an opportunity for family, friends, faculty, administrators, peers, allies, and significant persons to celebrate each student at the conclusion of their academic journey. Since this ceremony only takes place once a year, all graduating students from January 2025 to December 2026 are encouraged to participate.

You can also nominate a graduating student or university department/staff or faculty member for a Lavender Graduation award!
