¡Celebremos!: Graduates Take Flight

¡Celebremos!: Graduates Take Flight is our annual stole ceremony dedicated to celebrating the efforts and successes of the graduating undergraduate and graduate students, with a focus on the Latinx/Hispanic Community.

If you’re a December 2025 or May 2026 Graduate, please fill out the two forms below.

The first form is for the Latinx/Hispanic stole you will recieve during the ceremony designed by alum Nico Gaspar ’22. Seniors will have to pay $15 to reserve a stole. Payments can be made by credit card or by cash brought directly to Sylvia Munoz, Director of CREDE (munozs@elon.edu). Please contact munozs@elon.edu, if you have questions about payment.

The second form is for your information and paragraph for your “village”.

This letter will be read out loud during the ceremony in whatever language you choose to write it (English, Spanish, Portuguese). Submit this form by April 3rd, 2026 at 5:00pm
