The Alumni Association is proud to host the annual Native and Indigenous spring graduation ceremony in collaboration with the Center for Native American and Indigenous Studies (CNAIS), the Center for Inclusion and Social Change (CISC), and Forever Buffs American Indian.

This ceremony celebrates the academic achievements of our University of Colorado Boulder Native American and Indigenous student graduates, spanning Bachelor's, Master's, PhD, and Juris Doctorate degrees.

As a symbol of their accomplishments, each graduate will be presented with a blanket during the ceremony. To ensure your blanket is available on this day, please complete this registration by Monday, March 10, 11:59 PM. We will reach out with the blanket options once this registration closes. If you would like an extension of this deadline, please email lila.crank@colorado.edu promptly, as this form will close automatically on the 15th.

We look forward to honoring your hard work and sharing this special occasion with our students along with their families and our CU Boulder Community. 

*Please note that graduation was previously dated for May 9, 1:00 - 4:00 PM, but has been shifted to May 9 5:00 - 8:00 PM by the Alumni Association to avoid overlapping graduation ceremonies across campus.
