Lehman Students 

The most-cited criticism that we get from Lehman graduates is that they felt like they never got to enjoy one of the most principal moments of their life – their undergraduate graduation.  Not only because they have to sit outside during one of the hottest months of the year – the month of May – but also because they are not given the opportunity to walk across the stage with their diploma to conclude one of the greatest chapters of their life.

While we cannot take this back, we believe that future Lehman graduates deserve a better experience and we [the Student Government] have taken the initiative to change the graduation – to make it a night graduation, have students walk across the stage with their diploma, and have a wonderful ceremony.

Please sign the petition, as it will help us show Lehman administrators that we deserve a better graduation experience (Use your Lehman College email if possible.)

 Help us create change for years to come.

-The Lehman College Student Government

The momentum we have built makes it clear that Lehman students are finished with these lazy graduation ceremonies. The administration has ignored us for too long but they cannot pretend this movement does not exist anymore.

This is one of the biggest achievement of our lives. We deserve the opportunity to feel that achievement and have our family see that achievement in full effect !!

I found out last week that Lehman student's are not given the opportunity to walk across the stage with their diploma. I think it's ridiculous and it should be changed.
