Our Commitment to Sustainability 

UNF understands that the responsibility for sustainability lies in each and every one of us. Our actions, while small, make up part of the overall footprint left by all beings on this planet. In an effort to decrease that footprint, we are using the Herff Jones ClassRental™ caps and gowns for commencement regalia. These are premium-quality gowns which are cleaned, inspected and packaged after each use. Using rental gowns positively affects eventual landfill usage as well as requiring less material and energy than creating new gowns for each commencement. For more information, go to HerffJonesBetterWorld.com.

 

**Follett and the UNF Bookstore have exclusive rights to buy, sell, rent, and distribute official regalia for commencement.**
