Two notable examples are the Lavender Graduation Ceremony and the Veteran and Dependents Cord and Stall Ceremony.ĭuring the Lavender Graduation Ceremony, we honor our LGBTQ+ graduates with special designations by offering lavender or rainbow cords and other goodies. The Division of Student Affairs (DSA) also offers additional graduation programs in recognition of students' perseverance and accomplishments while completing their degrees. At the University of Houston, each college hosts its respective graduation ceremony so that every graduate is recognized during the commencement program. The commencement tradition allows for each graduate to be called on by name and gives them the opportunity to proudly walk across the stage while being cheered on by their fellow graduates. These ceremonies are formal celebrations at which degrees are conferred upon graduating students. This tradition is a precedent that each generation of graduates looks forward to every year. The University of Houston’s annual commencement tradition displays pomp, pageantry, and a spectacular celebration for the graduates' families, friends, and faculty. There was a total of over 6,500 graduates that include students pursuing their Bachelor's, Master’s, Doctoral, and professional degrees. We applaud your success in making your education a priority and wish each of you the best in your future endeavors. Cheers to the 2023 University of Houston (UH) graduates for your hard work and commitment to your education.
