We are incredibly excited about your accomplishment! Graduation is a big deal, and we want to celebrate with you. LBCC’s Office of Student Equity is proud to offer Cultural Graduation Celebrations as an opportunity to celebrate your triumph in a culturally affirming way. These events are provided in addition to the larger college-wide Commencement Ceremony. Commencement is where your degrees are actually conferred.
