Grad Fair Helps Students Gear Up in Preparation for Fall Commencement

BIG RAPIDS, Mich. It is not too early for our graduates to get their affairs in
order in anticipation of Decembers commencement. On Thursday, Nov. 3, Ferris
State University will host the fall Grad Fair from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. in University
Center.

Kevin Bunce, coordinator of Alumni Relations, sees the Grad Fair as a great
opportunity for graduating students take care of a variety of commencement
tasks in one area in a short period of time.

Grad Fair is an important time for our graduating students, and an opportunity
for them to get a lot of their affairs in order so that they can focus on a strong
finish to the semester and look forward to commencement, Bunce said. Well
also have Ferris Photographic Services on hand, to snap those memorable
images in cap and gown, and with friends. Well also have Brutus the Bulldog
with us.

Grad Fair visitors can:

Purchase their cap and gown
Have the opportunity to decorate their cap
Order a class ring
Order graduation announcements
Create a video message for family and friends
Discuss loan repayment options
Be in the running for great door prizes and more

Graduating students are not required to attend Grad Fair to purchase their cap
and gown or tickets. Tickets are required, however, for visitors to attend
graduation. Children who are 2 years old, and younger, do not need a ticket for
admission to graduation. Click etickets for more information.

Grad Fair is sponsored by Alumni Relations, the Commencement Office and the
bookstore.
