Announcements for Winter Graduates

Graduating in December? 

If you haven't yet, be sure to apply to graduate in your Student Center on My UW. The deadline is November 13, 2015.

Winter 2015 Commencement will take place Sunday, December 20, at 10 a.m. in the Kohl Center. Zoe Timms, a 1997 UW Alumna and founder of the Women's Education Project will be speaking. 

The Winter Honors Graduation Reception will be held December 19, 3:30 - 5:00 at Washburn Observatory. Invitation to follow.

Before November 13, reserve your cap and gown from the University Book Store
Where do I get my stole?  To be recognized as an Honors candidate at the Commencement Ceremony, you should wear the Honors stole (white with three cardinal bars) with your cap and gown.  Your name will be on a list at the University Bookstore where you will be able to pick up your academic regalia. Students on that list can pick up the Honors stole (the white stole with three cardinal bars) to wear with their cap and gown. A deposit is required to pick up the stole. Which stole do I wear?  If you are graduating both with an Honors degree and with Distinction, you should wear the Honors stole (white with cardinal bars), not the Distinction stole (solid cardinal red). The Honors degree is the higher "honor," so that is the appropriate stole to wear!

Don't miss out on your chance to get your photo taken with Abe!
Wednesday, November 4, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. you can get a professional picture taken of you on Abe's lap. Donations recommended to support the Wisconsin Idea Scholarship. \
