GOWNS FOR GRADS
Every graduating student deserves the chance to celebrate the huge academic accomplishment of commencement. But it’s difficult to celebrate if you can't afford the price of a cap and gown. The Dean of Students office maintains the "Mean Green Gowns for Grads" program to support low-income and first-generation students with a free graduation cap and gown rental.
This program is donation-based and continues to grow through the generosity of students, alumni and the community. Bachelor’s gowns are available on a limited basis with some options for master's and doctoral candidates. Availability is on a first-come, first-served basis and the application process is Feb. 21 through March 21.
