Native American Graduation Celebration

UC Davis began the Native American Studies program in 1996. Since this time, the Native American Graduation Celebration has been an annual celebration honoring the personal and academic achievements of graduating students — both undergraduate and graduate — who identify as Native American, are graduating with major and minor degrees from the Department of Native American Studies or are friends of the Native American community. This event differs from the UC Davis Commencement ceremonies held at the Golden 1 Center by providing an intimate and inclusive celebration that fully embraces the significance of each graduating student's experience. The event recognizes and celebrates the family and community bond that has contributed to the success of our students. All students are welcome to attend and celebrate with their peers.
