In celebration and recognition of community, the CU Boulder Alumni Association partners with alumni and campus groups to host affinity and special interest group graduation ceremonies. View this year’s full list of celebrations and learn more about the various stoles available. The registration deadline for the affinity celebrations is Sunday, May 7.

As part of this, in partnership with the Chancellor's Office and the Office of First-Generation Programs and Enrichment within the Center for Inclusion and Social Change, there are also first-generation stoles available for first-generation graduates.

Legacy cords
