Commencement – Attire and Announcement Ordering Available Now!

Angela Ruff, Academic Events

Graduating students will be wearing rented, eco-friendly attire at the Commencement Ceremony this year – in a new Navy blue color, aligned with the university’s Promise brand.   Our new attire partner, Herff Jones, created the custom EarthGrad attire, featuring the university’s seal on the front left panel of the gown, and hoods lined in velvet (color according to degree), with royal blue and white satin lining. The soft woven EarthGrad material with a matte finish is made from 100% recycled materials, saving 74 bottles from the landfill.   The new setup is $53, which is about 30% less cost than our previous keepsake attire system.  Students get to keep the cap and tassel.  The order link, as well as pick up and return instructions are listed on the Commencement website.  Order deadline is March 25.

Personalized graduation announcements are available from Jostens and are shipped to the desired address within 14 business days.
