Graduation Stoles

Complimentary white collar stoles are provided to graduates courtesy of the Honors College. They can be picked up at the Honors College Graduation Reception, or roughly three weeks beforehand during normal business hours. Stole pick-up details will be provided via your MSU email.

If you need to pick up your stole in advance of announced pick-up times, please reach out to your Honors College advisor to see if an accommodation can be made.
