Lavender Ceremony

Institutional Diversity, Equity, Advocacy and Leadership (IDEAL)

Join us for our Lavender Ceremony, a special celebration honoring the journeys, achievements, and contributions of LGBTQIA+ students and their allies at Temple University. During the ceremony, participating students will be presented with a rainbow cord to wear with their regalia during Temple University’s official commencement.

We invite undergraduate, graduate, and professional students to sign up for this meaningful tradition. Students graduating in Spring 2026 or Fall 2026 are eligible to participate.
