Gold cords for Fall 2025 international graduates
If you will graduate in Fall 2025, you may pick up a gold cord to wear at graduation celebrations or just to keep. The gold cord represents the international student population at the 51Թ.
Cords are available for pick-up between November 3 and December 12, 2025, at the ISSS front desk during regular business hours. You must bring your Buff One card. Only one cord will be given per person.
- A cord denotes achievement or involvement within the university, be it academic, sports, professional organization, or being a member of a particular campus group. The cord is worn over the shoulders (see image). Students wear their cords at graduation events and official commencement ceremonies.
