About ¡Celebremos!: Graduates Take Flight

The Elon University ¡Celebremos!: Graduates Take Flight ceremony is an annual tradition to honor our impending Latinx/Hispanic students graduating with their bachelor’s and master’s degrees. ¡Celebremos! was created to honor the achievement of our graduates, and the contributions their families and friends have made during their education. This diverse and intimate bilingual ceremony is a celebration that builds community and a sense of familia for Elon students.
