Graduating Orediggers are encouraged to share their clever mortarboard designs and creative ways to cross a graduation stage on social media.
- Mortarboard Decoration: Show us your creative mortarboard designs! Engineer something crazy! Don't have a mortarboard? Build one! The more creative the better.
- Senior Walk: Demonstrate your most creative walk, dance, hop, skip, across the graduation "stage.” You are making your own stage wherever you are, so get creative! Maybe your feet don't even touch the ground? The possibilities are endless
