The Native American Advisory Council (NAAC) hosts an annual graduation feast to celebrate the accomplishments and future endeavors of fall and winter semester graduates. Families and community members are invited to celebrate graduates and their contributions. As a gift for each graduate, the NAAC reserves a ceremonial cord for undergraduate students and a stole for graduate students to wear with their graduation regalia.

We had a wonderful 2025 Graduation Feast!

The 2026 Graduation Feast is postponed until Fall 2026.

Please contact Ayebah Wilson in the Office of Multicultural Affairs with any questions ([email protected] or 616-331-2177). We are excited to celebrate commencement with you and look forward to acknowledging your hard work and all your successes.

This program is intentionally designed to create culturally responsive and educational spaces for our diverse communities. Programming is open to students regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, or other protected identity.
