Latino Graduation Celebration

To honor all the achievements and efforts of our graduating students at Northern Illinois University, the Latino Resource Center proudly presents Latino Graduation Celebration. This celebration includes performances and remarks that celebrate the heritages and traditions rooted in Hispanic and Latino/a cultures and histories. All students and their guests are welcome.

This pre-commencement event recognizes graduates who have successfully completed an undergraduate and/or graduate degree. This ceremony is free to students and guests. If you wish to be recognized as a graduate, you must register by the deadline. General guests do not have to register separately.

For questions, please contact Elbia Del Llano at edelllano1@niu.edu.
