The Office of Student Agencies & Institutes, in partnership with the Center for Academic Retention & Enhancement, Student Government Association, University Housing, and Fraternity and Sorority Life, is proud to host Florida State University's cultural celebration ceremony, V-rak-ke-ce-tv.
The name "V-rak-ke-ce-tv" (Uh-tha-key-chee-tuh) is the Seminole Creek phrase meaning "to honor" as we seek to honor students' accomplishments through their academic journey, honor their families and friends for their continued support, and honor what it truly means to be a Seminole.
Support for the event is also provided by the university's cultural agencies and student organizations, including the Black Student Union, Hispanic/Latinx Student Union, Pride Student Union, Women Student Union, Jewish Student Union, Veteran Student Union, and Asian American Student Union.
Ceremony
V-rak-ke-ce-tv ceremonies are held at the end of the spring semester for spring and summer graduates and in December for fall graduates. Save the date for Fall 2024—registrants and their guests are invited to attend!
