Rainbow Graduation 2025
The annual Rainbow Graduation honors the achievements of Rutgers lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and nonbinary, queer, intersex, asexual, allies/advocates, and other queer spectrum (LGBTQIA+) undergraduate and graduate students. The event acknowledges the challenges and triumphs experienced in their careers here at Rutgers University. This occasion honors students who have continued our traditions of pride and activism. The celebration is a complement to a traditional graduation ceremony such as University Commencement or other celebrations hosted by academic departments.
Graduating students who register will receive a Rainbow Graduation certificate as well as a rainbow graduation tassel (limited supply only). All graduates must complete registration in order to be formally recognized at the ceremony. Family and friends of graduating students as well as other supporters are encouraged to register.
Graduating seniors, required registration closes Monday, April 21, 2025.
