Please join us for i3b's 8th Annual Lavender Celebration. An evening to celebrate the wonderful achievements of UMBC’s LGBTQ+ graduating seniors, graduate students, and their allies. LGBTQ+ students overcome incredible odds to succeed and make a difference at UMBC. This ceremony is in recognition of LGBTQ+ students and in recognition of all the allied staff, faculty, alumni, and programs that work to support them. Graduating seniors and graduate students who RSVP will be recognized and receive lavender honor cords. Award categories will encompass student, staff, faculty, and programmatic efforts, and will include recognition for LGBTQ+ individuals, as well as allies to the community.
