The Lavender Graduation Celebration is a celebration that brings together the entire student body, faculty, staff, and former students to recognize, affirm and celebrate the accomplishments of graduating undergraduate and graduate students. The ceremony also recognizes the students' contributions to Texas A&M University. The Lavender Graduation Celebration has been observed during the spring semester at Texas A&M since 2014 and honors those graduating in the spring, summer, or fall of the current calendar year. Lavender Graduation is designed to support an institution's mission of excellent service, specifically one that embraces, enhances and celebrates the academic achievements of students and their allies.
