The University Communications Team is collaborating with Alumni Relations to host the Spring 2024 Commencement Cap Photo Challenge. This contest is open to all graduating Ferris seniors who are participating in Spring 2024 commencement ceremonies. The contest is designed to showcase creative messaging on caps in preparation for commencement ceremonies, May 3-4, 2024. A grand-prize winner will be honored and two to three individuals will receive runner-up prizes. Winners will be selected by a panel of judges. The grand-prize winner receives a diploma frame as well as a portfolio and pen set. Other winners receive the portfolio and pen set. Winners will be notified by email.
