Presented by Latino Community Affairs, Latinx Graduation is a one-of-a-kind event in which we emphasize that graduation is not meant just for the student, but for their loved ones as well. Latinx Graduation is celebrated in both Spanish and English. The graduating student has the privilege of being accompanied by two loved ones and having a short personal statement read as they walk across the stage. Graduates will receive a serape sash and gifts symbolizing the accomplishments of the Latino Community at the university.
