Show MyWeberMedia.com | December 3, 2018 | By TORI WALTZ News Reporter Soon-to-be graduates at Weber State University can finish their senior year with a bang at the Grad Finale, the one stop for tassels, caps, gowns, commencement information, rings and graduation gifts. The Grad Finale is on Dec. 4 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Shepherd Union Ballrooms A and B and is meant to provide students with a few final touches before commencement on Dec. 14. Those in attendance receive their free tassels, caps and gowns provided by the WSU Alumni Association. They can also shop for additional memorabilia. Items for purchase include diploma frames, class rings, graduation announcements, class stoles and graduate gifts. Flowers are available for preorder as well. Once students gather everything they need to make graduation day special, they will then have the opportunity to solidify their achievements by dressing up in graduate attire and have their portrait taken by a professional photographer. Attendees of the event will also have the ability to join the Alumni Association and become members of the Wildcat family for life. If students cannot attend Grad Finale, they can pick up caps and gowns at the Wildcat Store Ogden campus location during regular business hours starting on Dec. 6. Caps and gowns will be available leading up to the day of convocation at the store and at the Dee Event Center on the day of convocation. Although the event is held in celebration of the Wildcats who spent years of their lives working hard and studying on campus, it is also dedicated to acknowledging the people who helped them get through it. The Putting Student Through program at Weber gives students the opportunity to pay homage to those who helped make their graduation possible through participation in an honorary ceremony. These individuals could include anyone from a financial-providing parent to a morally supportive peer. Honorees who participate in the program will receive a PST degree, pin and diploma. The ceremony will take place the day before graduation on Dec. 13 at 4 p.m. in the Shepherd Union. Students who wish to nominate an individual in the PST program will be instructed on the requirements and procedure of doing so at the Grad Finale event. Campus parking is usually free to the public of the day of commencement, which is Dec. 14, and tickets are not required for convocation services. Shuttle bus services will pick up passengers in the W8 parking lot just south of the Browning Center and Kimball Visual Arts Center and transport them to the East entrance of the Dee Events Center. The shuttle will operate every 10 minutes during peak hours. It operates from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. on graduation day.

Anthropology is the scientific study of humans through space and time. Anthropologists and Archaelogists and their skills can be readily applied to understanding human problems and offer real solutions to difficult problems.
