Grad Gear for Gauchos

One-Stop-Shop Grad Fair at the UCSB Campus Store!

HDAE Team… Please help spread the word to students who will be graduating this June! The UCSB Campus Store will be hosting the 2023 Grad Fair on March 1 and 2, 9am to 4pm in the UCen lobby adjacent to the Campus Store.

Students will have the opportunity to purchase 2023 Grad Packs which contain a bachelor's gown, cap and dated black tassel for commencement, a dated stole of gratitude, alumni license plate frame, UC Santa Barbara blue tote bag, keepsake royal and gold tassel with seal, alumni water bottle, UCSB Class of '23 T-shirt, and depending on which Grad Pack is selected, a diploma frame. Grad Packs are a great value since purchasing the items separately would cost more. There will also be an opportunity to order custom invitations, announcements with the student’s name and degree, and class rings from Jostens and Balfour.

Representatives from GradImages will be on-site offering a complimentary graduate portrait sitting. The Campus Store will provide regalia for the portrait sitting. No appointment is needed. Portrait proofs will be emailed to the student in one to two weeks for review. They will have the opportunity to select from a variety of special photo packages, with no obligation to purchase. There is a 20% discount on the photos if the student pre-registers with GradImages. Once ordered, the photos will arrive in about 2 weeks.

Pre-ordering will be available for commencement flower and ribbon leis. UC Santa Barbara diploma frames will be 15% off during the 2 days of the Grad Fair. UCSB GRAD lawn signs will also be available for purchase. A limited edition UCSB Class of 2023 stole keeper pin will be a complimentary gift for attending the Grad Fair while supplies last.

The UC Santa Barbara Campus Store staff will be available during the Grad Fair to answer any questions about 2023 Commencement. Thank you from the Campus Store team for your help in amplifying one of our biggest initiatives of the year!
