CAP AND GOWN PROGRAM, GRADUATING CLASS OF 2018:

The EWMBA Program office has a set of caps and gowns that have been handed down by prior graduating students. Since the number of gowns is limited, we will be holding a lottery to distribute the gowns. Please fill out the survey below with your name and height to enter the lottery.

Survey: https://goo.gl/forms/276Xu6INSEYvVtG02.

Note that the winners will be required to pay $5 to cover the cost of laundry. We will send an email to the lottery winners along with payment details. The caps and gowns can be collected from the Program Office once you receive confirmation that you'll receive a gown. You should receive a gown and a hood; you'll need to purchase your own cap and tassel. Contact Mandar (mandar.s.k@berkeley.edu) for questions!
