With Commencement behind you, why not recycle your regalia? ♻️🎓 Each cap-and-gown set is made from 27 post-consumer plastic bottles, so returning it keeps it out of landfills and puts it back in the hands of future Penn grads. Bring any pieces you don't plan to keep back to our 2nd-floor textbook window and we'll take it from there.
