Graduates - if you are attending the ceremony
- Purchase your cap, gown, and tassel from the Mitchell Tech Campus Store. Graduates are required to arrive wearing the approved graduation regalia.
- The Class of 2023 will wear a stole at graduation. The stoles will be given to graduates with the honor and recognition cords at the Corn Palace prior to graduation. Our intent is that the stole will be returned after the ceremony, the same as the honor and recognition cords, and we will re-use them again for future graduations. If you would like to use a stole and/or cords for pictures prior to graduation, please contact Danita Lucas and make arrangements.
