Rainbow Graduation Awards and Homecoming Ceremony

The Rainbow Graduation, Awards Ceremony, and Homecoming is a time for Wayne State University to honor undergraduate, graduate, and professional school students who have completed their studies. This ceremony is also a celebration of those who have graduated in the past and to celebrate those who have received awards or scholarships. This event is not in place of the university graduation, but in addition to the university celebration. We love celebrating the accomplishments of feminist, queer, and ally students! 

Rainbow Graduation 2025 will take place on Monday, April 28

Ceremony: 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Reception: 7 to 8 p.m.

Student Center, Ballroom C

Please RSVP
