Pass the Tassel

Have you turned the tassel in the last ten years (Class of 2015-Class of 2025)? Consider donating your Commencement regalia! Every Spartan deserves to participate in graduation festivities, but the cost of regalia can be a significant barrier. If you’re not using your gown anymore, we’ll happily pass it along to a graduate in need. To learn more about Pass the Tassel, click here (and be sure to visit us on Academic Row at Homecoming)!
