Seton Hall held its commencement ceremony for the class of 2018 on May 21, where many students decorated their graduation caps with a few unique themes and designs. Here are some of the graduation caps captured along with a few tips and tricks provided by students on decorating them.
Incorporate something meaningful and personal Mansi Patel, a biology major and graduate, described the inspiration behind her cap by relating it back to one of her favorite TV shows, “Friends.” She said that her tip is to relate something meaningful and personal to a future graduate’s cap.
“Each episode begins with the words ‘The One Where…,’” Patel said. “Being that my four-year journey was ending here at Seton Hall, I chose to use these words and end it with ‘The One Where Mansi Graduates’ as tribute to my memories of Seton Hall.”
Use the past, present and future to find inspiration Darianna Devore, a biology major, said she originally had no inclination to decorate her cap. However, as time pushed forward, she found that meshing the ideas of her past, present and future would make a keepsake item. Devore, who is Patel’s friend, explained the creativity behind her cap.

Some caps featured famous quotes or were adorned with the symbol of Captain America. Stephanie Nwaiwu, a senior sports management and marketing major, said she found the decorative caps amusing.
Don’t be afraid to be daring Amanda Halpin, a sophomore elementary and special education major, said she agreed that the shadow cap, which explains to not walk in anyone’s shadows, is encouraging.
