MEd and EdD graduates may contact Becky Jensen (rjensen@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2842) to arrange to pick up their regalia or to request that it be mailed.

ELED regalia will be mailed to the graduates. If you have questions, contact Jan Campadore at jcampadore@georgefox.edu.

All students must present their ID when picking up regalia.

Graduation Photographs

The Grad Team will serve as commencement photographers. Students do not need to preorder or request photos before the ceremony.

During the commencement ceremony, professional photographers will take multiple photos of every student and then notify graduates through their George Fox email when photos are ready for online viewing.
