It is that time of the year, when I see all of my friends graduate and ask my self when will it be my turn. Soon, I hope.
The two years that I have been attending the University of Wyoming, I have never attended an actual college graduation. However, every single semester I attend the Multicultural graduation on campus.
The Multicultural graduation is presented by Multicultural Affairs and its size varies each semester.
Domestic multicultural students compose this graduation as well as international students, making this commencement ceremony a unique and personal moment.
Be ready to tear up! Every student has a chance to give a few words to acknowledge the people that impacted his or her life while obtaining their education at this fine institution. It is an inspirational and touching moment, during which friends and families get to gather and celebrate the achievements of the graduates.
No other college or program at UW can beat this special Multicultural Affairs program. Multicultural Affairs truly cares for the well-being and success of each student. Each of the staff has touched students’ lives in unexplainable ways.
As such a student, I can only be grateful for the people that work there and keep my head in the right direction.
As the class of 2012 multicultural students enter the work force or to pursue more education, they will be well prepared as Multicultural Affairs provided different sessions for higher education or simply prepared their students to become more successful in applying for work.
As this school year winds down, the university has worked hard in promoting a safe and welcoming environment around campus.
Looking back on my multicultural columns, I talked about different events that the university hosted in order to promote diversity and pay homage to the struggles this institution encountered in the past. It is reassuring to know that there are people working toward this kind of progress.
Every Multicultural graduation, one can encounter different administrators from different departments. It is nice to see that not only Multicultural Affairs cares.
