We are currently seeking volunteers for the Latinx graduate celebration.
The Latinx
graduation Celebration is an annual event that the Center for Identity and
Inclusion hosts, honoring graduating students of Latinx heritage, by giving
them a cultural celebration amongst colleagues and loved ones. The event
typically brings together students, families, faculty, and staff for speeches,
acknowledgments, and cultural elements that highlight shared heritage and
resilience. It serves as both a space of affirmation, pride, and community
connection outside of the formal commencement ceremony.
We will need folks
assisting with set up, student check-in, guest check-in, and clean up.
We're excited to be able
to celebrate our students and hope you'll join us!
