SUMMARY:Donning of the Kente Graduation Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:The Donning of the Kente ceremony is an annual graduation celebration that honors the achievements of Black graduates and recognizes their academic journeys. This meaningful tradition brings together students\, staff\, faculty\, alumni\, and families to celebrate community\, culture\, and accomplishment. Rooted in heritage and pride\, the ceremony symbolizes both reflection on the past and a transition into the next chapter. \nHosted by the Black Faculty and Staff at Brooklyn College and co-sponsored by the BLMI and the BC Black Student Union\, the ceremony will feature special remarks\, the ceremonial donning of Kente stoles\, and moments of recognition that highlight the resilience and success of graduating students. \nMore than a celebration\, the Donning of the Kente fosters a strong sense of unity and belonging\, reflecting Brooklyn College’s ongoing commitment to supporting and uplifting Black students. Attendees can expect an inspiring and culturally affirming experience that honors both individual achievement and collective progress.
