Columbia grad cap

Dear Columbia Engineering Family,

While your student may tell you s/he is content having a digital record of her/his graduation, we know many of you would like more tangible ways to commemorate this achievement! The message below has information on graduation mementos and photography.

Announcements and Thank-you Notes

Formal announcements, thank-you notes and more will be available for purchase at the Grad Fair held next week, Wednesday, April 11-Thursday, April 12, and through Balfour throughout the spring.

Your student can also purchase academic regalia at the Grad Fair, where staff will be available to help grads-to-be select the correct size cap and gown.

More information on class rings, diploma frames and other memorabilia is available on the GradZone Gifts and Announcements webpage.

Professional Photographs at Class Day

Professional photographers from GradImages will capture memorable moments of each graduate both on and off of the stage at the Class Day ceremony. Graduates will receive an email from the photography company following Class Day with proofs and instructions for ordering online and may also find their photographs by visiting the GradImages website.

Grads-to-be may also pre-register with GradImages to receive a discount on photo purchases.

To review this and more graduation details, we encourage you to take a look at our Commencement Week webinar recording. You may also visit our GradZone website for additional resources.

Warm regards,
