International Education Series

The International Education Series is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is part of our efforts to promote programs that prepare students for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences. Events are programmed in the Fall and Spring.

Sashing Graduation Ceremony

The Multicultural Affairs Sashing Graduation Ceremony is a special moment for graduates, their families, and friends. It is a time to celebrate accomplishments and cultural diversity, reflect on the journey, and look forward to the future. Students are sashed personally by the university's Chancellor, with a sash representing their country of origin. The ceremony is planned on the last Friday of April at 6 p.m. A heavy hors d'oeuvres reception is provided prior to the event at 5 p.m. The theme varies every year. Graduates MUST have registered for Commencement and reserved their sash with the Multicultural Affairs Department at least a month prior to the event via email (no exceptions). Emails will be sent yearly with all the details.
