Students decorate caps at table. Student Life and Ministry hosted an event where seniors could decorate their caps during Senior Sendoff Week.

The Grad Cap Decorating Event was thrown by Student Life and Ministry as part of senior send-off. They had a professional artist come and help out seniors with design choices. The materials that they had weren’t simple like markers and paper, but lots of college-focused choices and accent pieces that would make for a good grad cap. If students didn’t have an idea of what to do, they also had miniature examples.
