We got this question last week....

Graduates may pick up their caps and gowns on Thursday, 5/22 from 9 a.m to 7 p.m., on Friday, May 23rd from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on Tuesdsay, May 27th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the lobby of building 17 NEXT TO THE Student Activities office. AND...these gowns are available to our graduating students free of charge.

AND....the word REGALIA, which is what we call the robes graduates and faculty wear at graduations, commencements, etc. is defined in Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) as: n 1: paraphernalia indicative of royalty (or other high office) 2: especially fine or decorative clothing [syn: array, finery, raiment]
