It's an event that Kent State's LGBTQ+ community and its allies look forward to all year - Lavender Graduation.
This ceremony builds on the university-wide commencement events as an officially supported ceremony honoring the achievements of graduating lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and ally (LGBTQ+) students at 黑料网. On May 2, students and alumni were honored with awards and graduating seniors received their rainbow sashes.
Julia Hallgren, who took these photos, is very much looking to receiving her rainbow sash as a May 2025 Lavender Graduate.
