- Practice putting on the white-collar. It is not an easy thing to do by yourself.
- Wear sunscreen and dress for the warm weather.
- Graduation is not a day to break in new shoes. Please wear comfortable shoes with a flat, solid, thick, or wedge heel. We do not want to damage the astroturf.
- There is no area to store any personal items, so limit what you bring with you.
