A Future Ceremony for 2020 Grads
We are unable to provide details due to the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19. The students within Latinx Community Affairs would like to host an event in the future to recognize graduates once the university announces more information about an in person ceremony later in the year.
Congratulations Class of 2020!!

Esta ceremonia fue creada por estudiantes, para estudiantes. La presencia de los Latinos tiene una larga historia en UT Austin. Como comunidad Latinx en esta universidad, deseábamos crear un espacio para reconocer y celebrar los logros y éxitos de todos los graduados. Sinembargo, sabemos que el camino que han recorrido para llegar hasta aquí no ha sido fácil. Entendemos los sacrificios que ustedes como estudiantes y sus familias han hecho, los obstáculos que han tenido que superar, y las adversidades que han enfrentado. Aun así, nunca se dieron por vencidos, y como estudiantes latinos de UT, nos hacen sentir muy orgullosos.
Esta ceremonia es un día de celebración para toda la comunidad Latinx.
