Día de Reconocimiento is a celebration and recognition ceremony hosted by Chicano Latino Student Services (CLSS) in the department of Ethnic and Intercultural Services.

Cultural Grad Celebrations are voluntary, student-centered events that acknowledge shared experiences and traditions. All students are invited and welcome. There is no fee for attendance or participation.

We want to celebrate students' personal success and academic achievements in the Latinx spirit and tradition. The celebration is dedicated to the families of our students, and it is a bilingual program.

The event allows graduates the opportunity to thank those who have helped them throughout their educational careers. During the event, we will recognize the folks that supported the graduates, including their families, mentors, and friends. The celebration, recognition ceremony, and reception will be approximately an hour and a half long.

Stoles: Students will get a stole from a Latinx community member during the event during the naming ceremony. Please make sure you wear your regalia for the event. All students participating in Día de Reconocimiento will receive a CLSS graduation stole without any cost.

*There will NOT be any fees associated with the stole or the ceremony.
