Graduation is coming. Share your college memories!

As graduation approaches, reflection is normal. We want to share your memories with you. To thank you for your hard work as Herff Engineering students, we will be creating a video presentation that will be displayed online and on the Engineering Administration television monitors.

If you would like to be included, submit pictures or short video clips that represent your time at Herff. We're looking for visuals that feature any student who will be graduating this spring, whether at the undergraduate or graduate level. We are interested in content that shows them at conferences, giving presentations, in selfies or having fun with friends.

All submitted material should be appropriate for display on Herff communication channels. To participate, submit your images by April 21.
