UNLV Celebrates Student Success with Cultural Ceremonies Honoring Diverse Graduates
The UNLV cultural celebrations for student success are set to begin on May 6 with the Lavender Celebration for LGBT graduating students, followed by the Asian Pacific Islander Middle Eastern Celebration on May 8 and the Latinx Celebration on May 11. The African Heritage Celebration will be held on May 16, coinciding with the post-baccalaureate graduation. Each event allows up to five guests per student, except for the African Heritage Celebration, which allows two. Special guests and performances are featured at each event, and volunteers are needed for setup and ushering. The celebrations are student-centered and aim to recognize and honor the achievements of historically marginalized students.
