Donning of the Kente Celebration: Rooted in Ghanaian tradition, the Kente cloth symbolizes history, philosophy, and cultural values. This celebration allows graduates to honor their academic journey while embracing the cultural significance of Kente.

Each celebration is uniquely planned by students, faculty, staff, and alumni to acknowledge history, customs, and community connections.
