2024 Black Gradution

At the end of every academic year, the Black Resource Center partners with the Black Student Union to host our annual Black Graduation Ceremony. The Black Graduation Ceremony is a pre-commencement celebration to honor Black students who have successfully completed an undergraduate or graduate/professional degree from the University of California San Diego. The event recognizes their accomplishment and provides an opportunity for graduates to honor significant people who have helped them achieve their goal. The ceremony reinforces the bonds of scholarship and extends the sense of community and belonging. The intimate ceremony is representative of African and African-American culture and culminates with a Kente Stole presentation.
