Support Lavender Graduation and Donning of the Stoles

Donning of the Stoles and Lavender Graduation are ceremonies that honor and celebrate students of diverse cultural, racial, and ethnic backgrounds and LGBTQIA+ identities at the milestone of earning their undergraduate degrees. These ceremonies are longstanding traditions for UNC Asheville students. For 2025, the responsibility for organizing and funding these events falls on student organizations.

Please help support UNC Asheville student organizations cover the costs of hosting these ceremonies and continue these traditions that celebrate the accomplishments of our graduating students.

This gofundme is created by a faculty member, with oversight of funds by several faculty members and the student organizations. 100% of funds will be used to support our student organizations to host these ceremonies.
