Graduation Celebrations

Cultural Graduation Celebrations

The Centers for T.R.E.E. Cultural & Identity-based Graduation Celebrations are campus-wide events that honor the achievements and academic excellence of all students while incorporating traditions and practices that uplift our communities. All students are welcome and invited to attend, and you may register for more than one celebration!

We highly encourage participants to also apply for CPP’s official commencement graduation. For more information, click here.

Please note that graduation stoles, cords, and/or pins will be ordered and distributed to honor the achievements of the graduating class of 2024. We encourage graduates to register by the deadline to guarantee their participation.
