2025 ¡Celebremos!: Graduates Take Flight

¡Celebremos!: Graduates Take Flight

¡Celebremos!: Graduates Take Flight is our annual stole ceremony dedicated to celebrating the efforts and successes of the graduating undergraduate and graduate students, with a focus on the Latinx/Hispanic Community.

This year’s ¡Celebremos!: Graduates Take Flight ceremony will take place Thursday, May 22nd at 1PM in Lakeside, followed by a celebration in Medallion Plaza.

If you’re a December 2024 or May 2025 Graduate, please fill out the two forms below.

The first form is for the Latinx/Hispanic stole you will recieve during the ceremony designed by alum Nico Gaspar ’22. Seniors will have to pay $15 to reserve a stole. Payments can be made by credit card or by cash brought directly to MJ Larrazabal (mlarrazabal@elon.edu) in El Centro.
The second form is for your information and paragraph for your “village”. During the stole ceremony, you will have the opportunity to thank your “village.” Your village can be anyone who has helped you along your journey through college: your parents, grandparents, friends, professors, mentors, etc. You will be asked to write a short letter thanking them (no more than 250 words). This letter will be read out loud during the ceremony.

Please complete both forms by Friday, May 9th at 5pm if you’d like to participate in this ceremony! For any questions, comments or concerns, email MJ Larrazabal, Assistant Director of the CREDE (mlarrazabal@elon.edu).
