Recognition and Celebration
SEAL Awards
Student organizations and student leaders at Miami provide many activities, events, and experiences that make the Miami experience the best undergraduate experience in the nation. The annual SEAL Awards in April recognize the dedication and hard work of various student organizations, as well as members and advisors of student organizations each year.
Horizon Senior Celebration
The Horizon Senior Celebration recognizes and celebrates the accomplishments of graduating undergraduate and graduate students prior to official Commencement. The name Horizon was chosen to signify the new beginnings, opportunities, challenges, outlooks, and options facing our students at the dawn of their professional lives. Family and friends are invited to share in this special recognition of students. Any graduating student at Miami University can participate (must register in advance).
Lavender Senior Celebration
An annual celebration conducted on numerous campuses to honor lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer+ and ally students and to acknowledge and honor their achievements and contributions to the university. Lavender was created in 1995 at University of Michigan by Dr. Ronni Sanlo, a Jewish lesbian who was denied the opportunity to attend the graduations of her children because of her sexual orientation. We are delighted to continue this legacy and have you be a part of not only the national tradition, but also of our Miami tradition. The Lavender Senior Celebration is free and open to all members of the Miami University campus community.
Heritage/Cultural Month Celebrations
The center strives to celebrate students from all backgrounds. We will have programming year around and during the designated heritage months. If you are interested in collaborating on a cultural program, please contact Adelaide Johnson-Ghartey at john1854@miamioh.edu.
