“Check in with the financial aid office helped me because I needed to make sure I didn’t have any holds on my account and being able to pay for cap and gown was probably the most helpful just so I didn’t have to go through it online,” Kaye Montgomery, graduating Multimedia Communication major, said.
“Parking and Transportation was extremely helpful also, because I had a couple of parking tickets that needed to be taken care of so they wouldn’t put a hold on my graduating.”
The Grad Gala is today, March 3 and Wednesday, March 4 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m in the Russell Union ballroom.
