Cultural Graduate Celebrations
Registration for 2026 Cultural Graduate Celebrations will open on March 10, 2026 and will close on April 27, 2026.
We look forward to celebrating with you!
For many historically underrepresented and traditionally marginalized students, graduating from college signifies success not only for themselves but also for their family and friends. The IC recognizes the importance of this milestone with intimate ceremonies. These celebrations offer Saint Mary's students the opportunity to thank the people who helped them on their journey publicly. They also honor the importance of overcoming barriers within higher education and affirm the paths leading to academic success.
Students will receive their free stole or sash when checking in on the day of the celebration. We cannot give out any stoles/sashes before the day of.
