Lavender Graduation will be held 6:00-8:00 p.m., Thursday, June 12, 2008. Established in 2002, this event is an officially sanctioned commencement celebration recognizing the achievements and lives
of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, and Ally students as they commence their life journeys. This year's keynote speaker will be Mr. LZ Granderson, senior writer and
columnist for ESPN the Magazine and ESPN.com, as well as a regular contributor for ESPN’s Sports Center, Outside the Lines, and First Take. Perhaps the most visible openly gay sports journalist in
the nation, Mr. Granderson broke the Sheryl Swoopes coming out story in 2005 and has been at the fore of the gays in sports discussion for much of his 13-year career.
