What is the CSDI Graduation Celebration?
The CSDI Graduation Celebration is a pre-commencement celebration to honor BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color) students who, through unyielding determination and academic achievements, have successfully completed an undergraduate or graduate degree from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. The ceremony acknowledges the sense of scholarly community among students and honors various cultures and culminates with a graduation cord presentation.

SIUE CSDI Graduation Celebration is...
- An event for graduates to invite your family, close friends and those most important to you
- An opportunity to honor YOU and all you have accomplished at SIUE
- A special gathering you would ask a favorite professor or staff member to attend
- The event where you can receive your cord to wear at your SIUE Commencement Ceremony.
This is not a commencement ceremony. It is a pre-commencement celebration honoring graduating BIPOC students and does not replace the formal SIUE Commencement ceremonies being posted on May 7th.
