Lavender Celebration

Lavender Celebrations are celebrated across the nation at other higher education institutions to honor the achievements of graduating LGBTQIA+ students.  

Lavender Celebration aims to recognize and celebrate the experience of graduating LGBTQIA+ students and soon-to-be alumni. Lavender Celebration is open to all graduating LGBTQIA+ students—whether they have been involved in LGBTQIA+ student organizations or with the broader LGBTQIA+ community. This ceremony is intended to be a reclamation of Middlebury as their own—a final ode to their perseverance, achievements, and explorations as LGBTQIA+ Middlebury students. Students graduating in the spring and the following February are able to participate in the annual celebration.

Graduating seniors will receive an email in the spring to register for Lavender Celebration.
