Class of 2018, we’re almost there! Our final projects and last papers are being submitted and we can start focusing on what’s to come this weekend. Decorating your graduation cap is a fun tradition and a good way to stand out in a sea of red. In case you haven’t gotten started, here’s a list of last minute ideas!

Miami-themed

What better way to pay homage to your almost alma mater than to model your cap with something Miami-centric? Whether it’s “Love and Honor,” “to think in such a place,” or Swoop himself, Miami caps are sure to go over well.

Movies/TV References

References to movie or television present an opportunity to be inspirational, nostalgic, or funny. You can’t go wrong with a Disney themed cap or another nod to your favorite show!

Song Lyrics

Whether you go the sentimental or the silly route, decorating your cap with song lyrics gives you so many options!

Oh my god this is great

Thank You Note

No matter who has helped support you through college, it’s important to let them know how much you appreciate them. Turning your grad cap into a thank you note is a great way to show your gratitude!
