The 36th semi-annual Donning of The Kente Ceremony will take place on December 6, 2012 at 5:00 pm in the Old Dominion Ballroom, Squires Student Center. The Donning of the Kente Ceremony serves as a celebration of achievement for undergraduate, graduate and Ph.D. candidates. The Black Organizations Council (BOC) designs this ceremony to provide graduates with a positive and rewarding experience which recognizes them for their hard work and dedication. Family and friends are a very important part of this recognition ceremony and are given an opportunity to acknowledge the achievements of their loved ones. Each graduate that participates in the ceremony will receive a Kente stole, which they are able to wear during the University's commencement ceremonies. Graduates should dress business casual. Light refreshments will be served.
