Gradfest event to help students prepare for fall graduation
Graduating students, take note: Gradfest has returned.
From 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 7-8, students can take care of their graduation needs at the lower concourse of the Donaghey Student Center, between Health Services and the UALR Bookstore.
During Gradfest, students can:
- Visit with Office of Records and Registration representatives regarding commencement and the application to graduate
- Talk with financial aid representatives: An exit interview is mandatory for students with loans
- Buy cap and gown
- Chat with Alumni Association representatives about the benefits of joining the organization
- Order official personalized graduation announcements
- Find out about available graduate school programs and admission requirements
- Order an official UALR class ring
In addition, graduating students can complete a graduation survey in the BOSS system — by using the student services menu/tab and clicking on “Answer a survey” — for a chance to win a $300 UALR graduation packet consisting of cap and gown, personalized brick, alumni T-shirt, alumni license plate frame, and an official UALR diploma frame.
