The Lavender Graduation Ceremony was created by Dr. Ronni Sanlo at the University of Michigan in 1995. Today\, there are thousands of Lavender Graduation Ceremonies at Colleges and Universities nationwide. Graduating students are invited to take part in the celebration. \n \n \n \n \n \n Why a Lavender Graduation Ceremony? \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Lavender Graduation is a cultural celebration that recognizes LGBTQIA+ students and acknowledges their achievements and contributions to the university. Through such recognition\, LGBTQIA+ students may leave the university with a positive last experience of the institution\, thereby encouraging them to become involved mentors for current students\, as well as contributing alumni. Lavender Graduation is an event in which LGBTQIA+ students share their hopes and dreams and are officially recognized by the institution for their leadership and their successes and achievements. \n \n \n \n \n \n What is the significance of Lavender? \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Lavender is important to LGBTQIA+ history! It is a color combination of the pink triangle that gay men were forced to wear in concentration camps and the black triangle designating lesbians as political prisoners in Nazi Germany. The LGBTQIA+ civil rights movement took these symbols of hatred and combined them to make symbols and colors of pride and community.
