Graduate and celebrate all of your! Lavender Grad is open to any student eligible, at any level (undergrad or graduate/professional) for a graduation in 2013-2014 (including Fall 2014) academic year. The Q Center and QSC host Lavender Graduation as a time for the UW queer, trans*, two-spirit, same gender loving, and allied communities come together and celebrate multiple identities, accomplishments, and sheer AWESOMENESS. You do not have to be graduating or be of a certain sexual or gender identity/orientation/expression to participate and/or attend the Lavender Graduation year-end celebration. Everyone is welcome and wanted!

When: Tuesday, June 10th, from 6-8:30. Graduates please arrive by NO LATER than 5:15PM

Where: The UW Tower, Mezzanine Level Cafeteria (Brooklyn Avenue  is closed in front of the Tower, please make sure to make parking arrangements)

How: If you are graduating, pleas register here

Dress: You can wear whatever you want! This is your graduation and as queer and trans* folks, we are often “required” by work, school, family, culture, etc. to dress in ways that do not necessarily fit our tastes. If you wish to wear the cap and gown, wear it. If you want to appear in drag, do it. All clothing has cultural significance, but sometimes we want to wear cultural regalia that honors our history, ourselves, and the moment, please do so. This is your night. All of your identities are celebrated as is the awesomeness that is you and our UW queer communities!
