International Graduation Celebration

International Graduation Celebration

The International Office invites you to join us in celebrating your achievements at the International Graduation Celebration on Wednesday, May 14th, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM in the Laura Lee Blanton Building.

This special event recognizes the accomplishments of graduating international students in a meaningful and celebratory setting. Graduates will have the opportunity to walk the stage and receive their international graduation stole, featuring the flag of their home country. A reception will be provided, offering time to reflect on your journey and celebrate with fellow graduates, family, and friends.

We invite you to share this special occasion with your loved ones—friends, family, and professors. As a graduate, you are responsible for inviting and purchasing tickets for your guests. Please note there is a limit of three tickets per graduate, including the graduate and up to two guests.

While this is a celebratory event hosted by the International Office and not an official commencement ceremony, graduates are welcome to wear their regalia if they choose. The dress code for this event is business casual or formal attire.

The deadline to purchase an international graduation stole is April 22th.

The deadline to purchase a ticket for the celebration is April 23th.

Tickets for the event are $5 per person, and the cost of an international graduation stole is $15.
