To acknowledge the academic efforts and success, honor students are entitled to wear an honor cord over the graduation gown at the commencement ceremony. As a gift from the Kremen School, an honor cord is given to Liberal Studies students who have maintained an overall cumulative GPA at or above 3.5 and maintained a campus GPA at or above 3.5. Students meeting this criteria were contacted by email with instructions on where to pick up the honor cord.

If you are a Fall 2023 graduate or plan to graduate in 2023 (including summer and fall), this is your one chance to get your Grad Box. We only sell them once a year and supplies are limited. There are even more ways to celebrate your graduation with Grad Fest!
