Commencement is virtual this year, but your achievements are very real. Graduating military service members and veterans can request that a red, white and blue graduation cord be mailed to them.

Just email a request to the Department of Military and Veteran Services at uaf-veterans@alaska.edu with your name, student ID and an address you where you would like the cord mailed.

Congratulations!
