Graduation Gift Ideas
|
Congratulations, future Raiders! The time is nearing for you to bid farewell to your high school days and to say hello to life as a college student. Are your family and friends wondering what's on your graduation wish list? Here are a few ideas for college-life necessities (we'll provide a checklist for residence hall essentials later this summer):
- UMU hoodie: A hoodie is always a great option for football games and tailgates, late nights studying in the library and relaxing in your residence hall.
- Purple Plu$ Credit: Money on your Purple Plu$ can buy you that UMU hoodie at the University Store, delicious blueberry muffins at the KHIC Start Café or dinner at numerous restaurants off-campus that accept your Purple Plu$ (like Panera and Jimmy John's!).
- Rainboots: Rainboots are a necessity for your dreary day treks across campus. Keep an eye out for a pair with some purple!
- Camera: You'll want to capture all the memories of the next four years, including your first Purple Raider football game, playing intramural volleyball with your friends, and painting the rock on the quad!
- Memo board: While you're making countless, new memories at your home away from home, you'll also want to see reminders of family and old friends.
Get ready for the experience of a lifetime. You're going to love life as a Raider!
