Join us at the seventh annual Black Excellence Graduation Celebration, where we honour Black graduating students who have reached an important milestone in their academic journey.
This year’s theme, "Emergence: The Vibrancy of Our Histories, Presents and Futures," celebrates the determination, hard work and perseverance that have led graduates to this moment while looking ahead to the futures they are shaping.
Let’s come together over delicious food, live music and a supportive community to recognize achievement, foster connection, and celebrate the power and diversity of Black excellence at TMU.
