Students had a great time getting ready for Commencement 2018 this week at GradFest. If you know a student who is graduating and plans to participate in Commencement 2018, but was not able to make it to GradFest, send them to Student Life to sign up, get tickets, get a graduate guide, and more. Then, they should stop by the bookstore to purchase their cap and gown.
