2022 Black Graduation and Kente Ceremony

Theme: Black Like We Never Left

Thursday, June 9, 2022 | 8:00pm-10:00pm | Meany Hall on UW Seattle Campus

The Black Graduation Ceremony is a pre-commencement celebration to honor African and African American students who through unyielding determination have successfully completed an undergraduate or graduate degree from the University of Washington. The Ceremony is representative of African and African American culture and heritage, embraces the value of community and scholarship, and culminates with a Kente Stole presentation. This is a Celebration for Graduates to be recognized for their accomplishments and provided an opportunity to honor significant people who have helped them achieve their goal. Students are honored together in one setting and their families also get the opportunity to celebrate their hard work and dedication.

Participation in the 2022 UW Black Graduation Ceremony is open to all UW Seattle undergraduate, graduate, and professional students who have earned their degree between Autumn ‘21, Winter ‘22, Spring ‘22 or are scheduled to earn their degree Summer ‘22.
