Student representative raises concern over single-color graduation gowns
Summary
The student board member told trustees students want more choice in graduation gowns and proposed a contest or selection process; the board noted the comment during the student report and did not take immediate action.
During the student board report the student representative told trustees that students are planning events and also raised a concern about graduation gown options. The student said some classmates would like to be able to choose gown colors rather than a single color and suggested a contest or multiple-choice design selection so students could see and weigh options.
The board heard the comment during the student government update, which also previewed multicultural night, a planned blockathon and an upcoming student-government vote on a constitution amendment. Trustees did not act immediately on the gown request but the comment was entered into the public record for potential follow-up with student government and administration.
