December Commencement
Commencement is a milestone in which we celebrate our students’ achievements as they complete their academic journey at ESF. To mark the significance of this occasion and to help us honor our degree candidates, we are planning receptions, award ceremonies, and other festivities.

Caps & Gowns
All students who participate in Commencement are required to wear a cap and gown.
You can obtain these through the Syracuse University Bookstore in the Schine Student
Center or by calling (315) 443-9900.
Regalia Reuse Program
Alumni can donate gently used graduation regalia for soon-to-be graduates to rent and wear on their big day! On average, graduation regalia is only worn for 90 minutes, with over 5 million ending up in the landfill annually. By donating or borrowing graduation regalia, you are keeping “single use” textiles out of the landfill and further fulfilling ESF’s mission to Improve Our World!
Donating Regalia
Regalia should be clean, gently used, and free of stains or heavy perfumes/colognes
Only donate ESF-branded graduation regalia
How to donate:
- Commencement ceremony: There will be a drop off bin at the Amp.
- On campus: Bring it to the Office of Sustainability (123 Bray) or use a donation bin in Moon and Gateway the week after Commencement.
- Ship it: Send your regalia to: Office of Sustainability, 1 Forestry Dr., 123 Bray Hall, Syracuse, N.Y. 13210
Borrowing Regalia
More information will be provided here as Spring 2024 commencement approaches. To be notified when rental opens, follow @esfsustainability on Instagram!
