Cultural Graduations

Cultural Graduations are powerful, community-centered celebrations that honor the achievements, identities, and lived experiences of our graduating students. Hosted in partnership with campus and community groups, these ceremonies recognize students’ academic accomplishments while uplifting their cultural heritage, family, and support networks.

At The HUB, we are proud to support Cultural Graduations as part of our broader commitment to multicultural education, equity, and belonging at Sonoma State University.

Why Cultural Graduations Matter

For many students—particularly those from historically marginalized communities—Cultural Graduations offer a deeply meaningful space to be seen, celebrated, and affirmed. These celebrations:

• Honor students’ cultural identities and family traditions

• Create a sense of belonging and pride for graduates and their loved ones

• Recognize the collective support systems that helped students reach this milestone

• Strengthen community connections across campus

Your support helps ensure these celebrations remain accessible, inclusive, and impactful for all students who choose to participate.
