V-rak-ke-ce-tv Cultural Graduation Ceremony logo

This message has been approved by Dr. Joi Phillips, director of the Center for Leadership & Social Change.

The Office of Representation, Inclusion & Student Equity, in partnership with the Center for Academic Retention & Enhancement, Student Government Association, University Housing, and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, is proud to host Florida State University's cultural graduation ceremony, V-rak-ke-ce-tv, on May 4.

The name "V-rak-ke-ce-tv" is the Seminole Creek phrase meaning "to honor" as we seek to honor students' accomplishments through their journeys, honor their families and friends for their continued support, and honor what it truly means to be a Seminole.

First-come, first-served registration opens Monday, March 6 at noon and runs through March 21 at 11:59 p.m. While the ceremony is open to all spring and summer 2023 graduates, capacity is limited, so students are encouraged to apply early to ensure their spot.
