With Commencement around the corner,
graduating students have many questions:
How do I get my cap and gown? Are there senior
events at the end of the year? What services
does Brockport offer to prepare me as a young
professional? All these questions and more can
be answered at the Commencement Fair!
Talk with The Graduate School, Career
Services, Conferences and Events, and the
Golden Eagle Senior Council (GESC). You
can also record a thank-you message to loved
ones that will be shown at the undergraduate
Commencement ceremonies.
A dollar from each cap and gown sold at the
