Donning of the Kente Ceremony

Celebrate graduation with the Black Alumni Council and Black Student Union at the 3rd annual Donning of the Kente ceremony!

This free event honors all graduating students who wish to participate in this recognition ceremony. Graduates will receive a Kente cloth stole and will celebrate their accomplishment and the journey ahead. Join us as we celebrate this milestone with the Auburn community.

The evening will be highlighted by motivational speakers, performances, and the presentation of the Kente stoles. It will culminate in a festive reception where we can all revel in the accomplishments of our graduates, surrounded by friends, family, and the supportive Auburn community.

This free, in-person only event is open to all, so RSVP today to guarantee a space.
