Commencement Portrait Sessions

Each year, many students request to borrow caps and gowns for graduation photos. To better support our graduates, the University is offering dedicated Commencement portrait sessions in the weeks leading up to Commencement Weekend.
During these sessions, students will have access to a University-provided cap and gown and a professional photographer for a brief, staged portrait experience. Appointments are required and can be scheduled in advance on the Commencement website.
