The University of La Verne will host its second annual Graduation Fair
tomorrow, to provide prospective graduates with an opportunity to make necessary
arrangements for this year's commencement.
The event, which is set to take place in the University's Sneaky Park
on Third and C Street, will operate between 12:30 and 3:30 p.m. Invited
are all graduates-to-be, as well as the parents of traditional-aged undergraduate
students.
"The Graduation Fair gives graduates the opportunity to have access
to the information, products, and services related to graduation at one
time," said Steve Eubanks, assistant to associate dean of student affairs.
"In addition, the Fair will help parents understand and become
involved in graduation preparations, being that they contribute to the expenses
of graduation," Eubanks said.
This year's Graduation Fair will consist of a variety of services and
programs available through ULV.
Participants include Collegiate Cap & Gown, servicing students who
wish to purchase graduation attire; Jostens, specializing in the purchase
of class rings and/or graduation announcements; Graphic Awards, offering
a variety of diploma frames; University Photo, available for ordering photography
packages; and Lordsburg Productions, through which graduation videos can
be ordered before-hand.
"As a result of the previous year's success, more graduate services
will participate in the Graduation Fair this year. They will be available
to assist students and parents who demonstrate concern or have questions
about the commencement," said Eubanks.
In regards to expected outcome, Eubanks simply said, "I have a
good outlook on the Second Annual Graduation Fair, primarily because last
year proved to be a great success."
