In the effort to remain green on campus, all WCU students will be wearing environmentally conscious GreenWeaver® or NuHorizon® regalia. These lines of graduation wear are made of fabric spun from molten plastic pellets produced from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.
Each day in the US more than 60 million plastic water bottles are thrown away. Most end up in landfills or incinerators, and millions litter America’s streets, parks, and waterways. With an average of 25 plastic bottles being used to produce your cap and gown; you are helping to ensure a cleaner, healthier future for our planet.
Since 2013, West Chester University has helped to divert OVER 629,725 plastic bottles from landfills!
You will not be charged for your cap, gown, hood, and tassel. These items, as well as shipping costs to the SSI Bookstore, were included in your graduation fee.
The deadline to submit your cap and gown order to ship to the SSI Bookstore for the December graduation is Sunday, March 24, 2024.
Caps and gowns ordered through the website can be picked up at the SSI Bookstore beginning Monday, April 29, 2024.
