Approximately 30 students, along with family members and campus administrators, gathered around tables in Gorton Quad to decorate their graduation caps in advance of semester-ending commencement events.

Using hot glue and decorations ranging from roses to rhinestones provided by Associated Student Governments, the students took plain black graduation caps and made them their own.

View the gallery above to learn more about the students and their caps.
