UMGC Stateside | Adelphi | December 11–14 Winter Commencement 2025

Commemorate Your Achievement

University of Maryland Global Campus invites students and alumni to celebrate their achievements with keepsakes such as class rings; grad spirit necklaces; announcements; diploma frames; and UMGC gear including branded apparel, mugs, pens, license plate holders, and more.

Your Class Ring

Next to your diploma, an official class ring from Balfour can serve as the most treasured reminder of your accomplishments at UMGC. All who wear one share a collective sense of pride and achievement. A variety of customizable styles and designs is available.

Say Congratulations with Our Grad Spirit Necklace

Kukui nut leis are popular in Hawaiian culture and now have become associated with higher education, especially as commencement gifts. Consider a UMGC Grad Spirit lei and flowers from our vendor, The Commencement Group. Leis and flowers can also be purchased onsite during Grad Walk.

Announcements and Diploma Frames

Some might consider graduation announcements old fashioned—but we think they are still a nice way to formally let your loved ones know about your achievement. This is especially true for those friends and family who can't attend your ceremony but might want to wish you well.

And there's no better way to proudly display your diploma than inside of a well-made frame. University Frames, in partnership with Balfour, offers several elegant choices.

Gear Is Good

Show off your UMGC pride. We have all kinds of branded apparel for sale, as well as UMGC mugs, pens, license plate holders, and more.

Going to Grad Walk? Check out our Celebration Sale! All items will be marked down up to 25 percent off while supplies last. Look for the UMGC GEAR table and get ready to save. Offer only good onsite during Grad Walk.
