Grad Bash prepares seniors

By Adie Applegate

Seniors who are graduating in May now have an opportunity to take care of all their last-minute items.

The SIU Alumni Association is collaborating with the University Bookstore to host the 2014 Grad Bash on Feb. 5 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Student Center ballrooms.

The event gives seniors a chance to apply for graduation and order transcripts, caps, gowns and invitations from the bookstore.

Representatives from the School of Law, the master of business administration program and the graduate school will be assisting students in their job hunt or post-graduation ambitions.

Class memorabilia provider Balfour will be available to size students for class rings. Students also have the opportunity to sign up for the Alumni Association.

The bookstore is giving away $1,000 in gift cards to the bookstore and Balfour, with winners each hour.

Each student that attends will receive a complimentary tote bag from the Alumni Association. Food and refreshments will be served and the local band “Hashtag Pop” will be performing.
