The cost of buying a graduation gown is $800. This is often too high for many PhD graduates and has negatively impacted decisions to walk at graduation.

SGSA is raising funds in order to buy two graduation gowns for students to use so that they can walk and take pictures when they graduate. These gowns will be available for a small rental fee of $30 which will go towards future gown purchases to expand gown offerings to those in need. We are asking for donations, big or small, for this cause.

Please share, and if you are able, please donate! Thank you for your help!
