    • This could be a photo in your regalia or one relating to your Arkansas Tech experience.
      • If you want to provide a photo in your regalia, you can participate in the Barnes and Noble Bookstore Graduation Fair on October 5 and 6. If you miss the Graduation Fair, a link to order regalia will be provided soon.
