Rainbow Graduation & Awards Ceremony

The LGBTQ Resource Center is proud to host the Annual Rainbow Graduation & Awards Ceremony. We recognize that LGBTQ students often face a unique and challenging road on the journey to graduation and extra time should be taken to acknowledge the hard work and determination put forth by graduating LGBTQ students to reach this momentous occasion. Rainbow Graduation provides an opportunity to honor and celebrate graduating LGBTQ and Ally students for their accomplishments, efforts, and contributions while in attendance at Kennesaw State University. 

Awards Ceremony

Rainbow Graduation provides an opportunity to not only acknowledge graduating students but to also recognize members of the KSU community who have made positive contributions to the LGBTQ community on campus. The seven Rainbow Awards can be viewed below.
