LavGrad is a celebration to honor LGBTQ+ graduates of the University of North Dakota.

The LavGrad Celebration is a special recognition of LGBTQ+ students that are graduating in Spring, Summer or Fall semesters of the current year. Graduating students receive a lavender cord to wear with their academic regalia during UND Commencement. Pride Awards are also given at the celebration as a way to recognize students, faculty, and staff who have enhanced the campus climate for LGBTQ+ students. Graduating students are encouraged to invite friends, family, and those that have made an impact on their success to the LavGrad Celebration.
