Nuestra Graduation at UCI

Share

Nuestra Graduación formerly known as Raza Graduacion began in 1978 as a small and intimate backyard event to celebrate graduating Latinx students.

Currently we host a ceremony for 300+ students at the Bren. Every year a group of students get together to plan what is known as the annual Raza Graduation ceremony. Raza Graduation is a more intimate, festive, and culturally inclusive graduation ceremony for Chican@/Latin@ students. Everything is spoken in both English and Spanish and students are given the opportunity to say a few words to thank
