NCS/PFAA BSU Graduation Celebration

When

6/3/2024, 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Where

Benvenuti Performing Art Center

The NCS/PFAA Black Student Union and its executive board is excited to host a special graduation celebration and presentation of the BSU Kente Cloth Stole, Cord and Graduation Certificate on June 3rd at 5:00pm inside the Benvenuti Performing Arts Center. This celebration acknowledges the graduation of Black, African American, and African students through a culturally meaningful celebration and through the presentation of a symbolic Kente Cloth Stole to wear at graduation.
A Kente Cloth Celebration is an “annual graduation ritual of marking oneself with a visible sign of Africa...that literally weaves together the wisdom of Africa before the Middle Passage with the persistent struggle to (re)attain knowledge of oneself that defines Black experience in the Diaspora….When Black students wear Kente stoles as a sign of their successful matriculation through the educational system of this country, they transform their bodies into living, breathing proverbs.”
We are excited to celebrate our NCS/PFAA Class of 2024, BSU Seniors.
