Gown Details

The gown is designed to reach down to the wearer's mid-calf.

Grad Anecdote

When you walk across the stage, the presenter will read a brief quote (anecdote) about your future.

For example:

Your post-secondary plans, career plans, or life goals: Ex: “Sam intends to get his Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing at UBC, leading to his dream job of being a Psychiatric Nurse".
Thanking your parents, teachers, or significant life influences: Ex: “Jenny would like to thank Mrs. Smith for teaching her the value of hard work and determination. Thanks for never giving up on me!”

Write what you would like the audience to hear. BE CLEAR and CONCISE. Your response will be edited for length and clarity if needed. (Max length 200 characters).

As this is a formal event, it is important that your anecdote is appropriate for the occasion. This is not the time/place for “inside jokes,” shout-outs to your significant other or friends, etc.
