He’s confident. He’s focused. He’s ready to take on the world. Bucky demands attention in this swoon-worthy ensemble from UW–Madison’s new spring commencement line.
Last fall, students voted for one of three new gown designs. At the Winter 2016 Commencement Ceremony, new caps displaying the UW crest were introduced. Now all degree earners—bachelor’s, master’s, Ph.D.’s—will be wearing newly designed gowns and caps at the Spring 2017 Commencement Ceremonies May 12 and 13.
Bucky models the freshly updated bachelor’s gown. Traditionally all black, it now sports the UW–Madison crest and a splash of Badger Red. It’s perfect for the spotlight these graduates are about to find themselves in. With matching diploma. Work it, Bucky, work it.
