The FLI Graduation Celebration is a heartfelt gathering held in advance of Johns Hopkins University’s Commencement, honoring the achievements and journeys of our first-generation, limited-income graduates. Hosted by the FLI Network, this special gathering creates space for students and their families to come together, reflect, and celebrate not only a major academic milestone, but also the community of friends that surrounds them.

This annual event includes a casual reception, opportunities to connect with fellow graduates and families, and thoughtfully curated spaces to capture lasting memories. Guests can enjoy a dedicated photo area with themed props, along with a photo booth to commemorate the occasion, ensuring that this milestone is not only celebrated in the moment but remembered for years to come.
