According to an Instagram post by an LGBT campus organization, Wheaton College will host a Lavender Graduation for such students on May 16 at the campus chapel.

“Lavender Graduation is a cultural celebration and formally-recognized commencement activity that celebrates LGBTQ+ students for their achievements and contributions to the wider Wheaton community,” an event description page says. “All graduating students who participate will receive a rainbow tassel to wear with their academic regalia during commencement and will be invited to join the LGBTQ+ Alumni group.”

In anticipation of the graduation ceremony, Wheaton’s Center for Social Justice and Community Impact, which is organizing the event, has posted student testimonials on its Instagram page.
