Cap & Gown Commencement 2012
information below.

Eco-Friendly
Caps and Gowns
The Cap and Gown Agency is proud
to continue offering
eco-friendly
caps and gowns for students that
are made from 100 percent,
post-consumer recycled plastic
bottles. This line of graduation
wear, manufactured by Oak Hall,
is named “GreenWeaver".
The
fabric is made from spun molten
plastic pellets and the result
is a
fabric so comfortably soft you
have to feel it to believe it!
It takes
an average of 23 bottles to make
each gown.
ASA takes pride in its ongoing
commitment in support of the
University’s sustainability
goals and the continuation of “GreenWeaver"
attire for Yale’s Commencement
2012. In fostering “GreenWeaver
on Yale campus, we are hopeful
that
this movement will impact on
other Colleges and Universities
in making
a choice to “go green" on their
campuses. For more
information
and details on “GreenWeaver”
attire,
please visit the Oak Hall
website at: http://www.oakhalli.com/greenweavermovement.php
You may donate your gown to a
non-profit
organization in the greater New
Haven area by placing it in
designated
bins at residential colleges or
the Associated Student Agency
office.
