Black, African and African American Graduation

The Black, African, and African American Graduation Celebration is an event that welcomes all MSU Denver students, faculty, staff, family, and friends who wish to honor and celebrate the achievements of students who have demonstrated unwavering determination in completing their undergraduate or graduate degrees from the Metropolitan State University of Denver.

This celebration strengthens the bonds of scholarship and fosters a sense of community. It honors the rich heritage and culture of Black communities, culminating in a Kente Ceremony where traditional stoles are presented to the graduates.

Graduation is a significant milestone. Your graduation ceremony will become an important part of your personal timeline, symbolizing change, progress, and new adventures. Graduates, take a moment to celebrate what you have accomplished so far and cherish the memories this chapter of your education has created.
