The event will include a private pre-celebration at 4 p.m. for Black graduating students followed by a celebration with friends and family at 5 p.m. in the Student Learning Centre.

If you are a graduating student who self-identifies as Black, we invite you to register by May 29.

Graduating Black students who register will be provided with an exclusive Kente stole to commemorate their achievement courtesy of event organizers (with confirmation of graduation and while quantities last).
