“The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.” – Abraham Lincoln
Days until Commencement: 106 (as of Feb. 7)
Graduating seniors can apply for a $500 Honors Convocation award. The award is open to graduating seniors who have made significant contributions to the community through course projects, an honors thesis, EXCEL Scholar work, and/or some other form of academic community engagement. Applications are due no later than Feb. 16.
Seniors can get a used gown through the Hand-Me-Down Commencement Gown Program. This is a Student Government and Office of Sustainability initiative to distribute used caps, gowns, and hoods to current seniors through a pay-what-you-can model. To request regalia, apply for the program by March 9.
Graduating seniors, pre-order your graduation regalia by March 12. Pre-orders can be picked up during the Grad Finale event, April 24-25 at the College Store.
