<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;background:white">Lavender Graduation at the University of Pittsburgh is a cultural event for the University to recognize and acknowledge the achievements and contributions of LGBTQIA+ students of all races and
ethnicity. The time-honored tradition is a celebration of unique journey many LGBTQIA+ face during their time in higher education. The first Lavender Graduation in the United States began at the University of Michigan in 1995, with three graduates. By 2001,
there were over 45 Lavender Graduation Ceremonies at Colleges and Universities nationwide. This year’s occasion at the University of Pittsburgh is marked by the participation of students, residents, and trainees across the University of Pittsburgh System and
will be hosted by the Pitt Queer Professionals (PQP) with co-sponsorship from the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (OEDI), and the Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for the Health Sciences. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
