The Black Graduation Celebration of Excellence
The Black Graduation Celebration of Excellence is an African-centered pre-commencement ceremony that honors undergraduate, graduate and professional school students who have successfully completed their studies at Wayne State University. The Black Graduation Celebration of Excellence provides a forum where excellence among students can be celebrated, and achievements acknowledged.
Bridging the past with our present, the Black Graduation Celebration of Excellence serves as a cultural rite of passage that recognizes and affirms graduating students who have completed a rigorous course of study at WSU. It is not an alternative graduation, but rather a celebration of success and is open to people from all backgrounds and identities.
Date: Saturday, April 27, 2024
