Honoring the Past and Embracing the Future - Donning of the Kente

Help the Auburn Alumni Association Black Alumni Council purchase our Class of 2023 student kente stoles for our inaugural Donning of the Kente graduation ceremony.
In continuing our institutional mission of building a community that celebrates unity, equity, and inclusion, the Auburn Alumni Association Black Alumni Council proudly presents the Donning
of the Kente graduation ceremony. This special event honors and applauds the academic achievements of students of the African diaspora by bestowing a Kente cloth stole as a rite of passage. Each graduate in this ceremony is draped or “donned” with this traditional West African cloth, a cloth of prestige historically reserved for significant occasions, in reverence of African American heritage, symbolizing an embracing past and a welcoming future.
