  • Donning of the Kente

    Donning of the Kente
    Co-sponsored by the Minority Student Success Initiative

    Donning of the Kente is a multicultural graduation ceremony designed to celebrate the accomplishments of students who have contributed to enhancing diversity and inclusion at Clemson University. The ceremony recognizes the academic, professional, and personal achievements of graduates as they transition into their post-collegiate lives. Rooted in African tradition, Donning of the Kente encourages students to identify a mentor who will present them with a kente stole. The stole is a symbol of prestige and an official rite of passage.
