Lavender Graduation is a ceremony that celebrates the achievements of graduating undergraduate, and graduate and professional students in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, and ally (LGBTQQIA+) community from Cornell University.

While Lavender Graduation celebrates the achievements of graduating students, this event is also an opportunity for family, friends, faculty, administrators, peers, allies, and significant persons to celebrate each student at the conclusion of their academic journey. Since this ceremony only takes place once a year, all graduating students from January 2021 to December 2022 are encouraged to participate.
