In the effort to remain green on campus, all MIIS graduates 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 year in the US more than 35 billion plastic water bottles are thrown away, enough to circle the Earth four times. 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.
Please be aware that ship-to-home orders may arrive as late as the day before the ceremony. If you expect to be in Monterey for the in-person event and won't be available at your home to receive your gown order, we advise choosing the ship-to-school option if you plan to be in Monterey a few days before Commencement. All ship-to-school orders must be picked up by the student at the school during the week leading up to Commencement.
Check the Commencement Webpage for exact dates/times of distribution.
