This evening event celebrates the wonderful achievements of UMBC's LGBTQIA2+ graduating seniors,  graduate students, and their allies. 

Light refreshments and appetizers will be served starting at 5:30 pm for all graduates and guests in attendance. 

Dress: We ask that all attendees and graduates come in their "graduation best". Cap & gown is not required.

Check-in will begin at 5:30 pm for graduates. This form serves to gather RSVPs for graduates, their guests, and our community members.
