Congratulations Graduates! 


In the effort to remain green on campus, all ­­­Benedictine University students will be wearing environmentally conscious GreenWeaver® regalia. This line of graduation wear is made of fabric spun from molten plastic pellets produced from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.

Each day in the US more than 60 million plastic water bottles are thrown away. Most end up in landfills or incinerators, and millions litter America’s streets, parks, and waterways. With an average of 25 plastic bottles being used to produce your cap and gown; you are helping to ensure a cleaner, healthier future for our planet. 

Since 2013, Benedictine University has helped to divert OVER 279,225 plastic bottles from landfills!

You have two ways of getting your regalia this year:

  • You may order your regalia online and have it shipped to Benedictine University for pick up at Graduation Fair on April 7, 2020.
  • If you are unable to stop by the Graduation Fair to pick up your cap and gown, you may order it here starting April 8, 2020, and have it delivered directly to your home for a fee of $15.95.

Online orders must be placed by February 23, 2020, if shipping for pick up at Graduation Fair.

Graduation Fair is being held on Tuesday, April 7, 2020.

Congratulations again, and we wish you the best of luck with your new adventures.
