Congratulations to our mortarboard contest winners!

Mortarboards and hardhats decorated by Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering graduates.

The Class of 2024 did an excellent job decorating their mortarboards for the Fall 2024 Fulton Schools Convocation ceremonies. Decorations spanned a variety of themes, including messages of thanks and celebration, expressions of our grads’ individuality and fun pop culture references. Check out many of the mortarboards on display at Convocation in our Flickr gallery.

Based on submissions to the Fulton Schools mortarboard decorating contest, four grads were selected as the top contenders based on their creativity. Congratulations to our winners, who will receive Fulton Schools swag packages:
