APID/A Graduation Ceremony
The Asian & Asian American Center (A3C) is ecstatic to be celebrating 10 years of advocacy, education, identity, and community within the Asian, Pacific Islander, Desi/ American (APID/A) community! During the spring semester, the APID/A Graduation Ceremony Celebration is a pre-commencement event to honor and celebrate APID/A students’ academic achievements and leadership at Cornell! Last year was our inaugural ceremony. This year we look forward to recognizing the 100+ students whose graduation occurred during the Fall 2019 through Summer 2020 academic year. Please help us make this 2nd annual graduation celebration just as successful as our first one!

Please help us re-create a beautiful culturally rich atmosphere for this academic year's graduates. Our goal is to spark more joyous memories!
