Graduates say this about Lavender Graduation:
"I felt more embraced and supported by community than I had during the rest of my time as a PhD student. Lav Grad was awesome!"
"Lav Grad was such a warm and welcoming ceremony that instilled such a sense of pride...I got to stand in front of my friends and family and have the feeling that all parts of my life got to come together for the first time."

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! If you want to dress up, or down, go for it. You want to be comfy, have at it. This is your night. All of your identities are celebrated as is the awesomeness that is you and our UW queer communities!
