Grad Photo Information
It is a tradition that the Nutrition Society gets a grad photo of all the year’s
graduates and gives it to the Human Nutrition Department.
When to do it?
In January the photographer is here for grad photos at the SUB- Heckbert
photography- go to tem and set up a date and time to do the photoPhotographer
Heckbert Photography is the easiest to use since they are on campus doing
grad photos anyways
Where to Do it?
We chose immaculate because it’s pretty, the contact to book this room is:
Gowns and Hoods
For the photo the grads will need the black gowns and hoods (colored things
around the neck) These get rented from the Bookstore in the Sub- go there are get a
form to fill out once you know the tentative date for the photo. You will be
responsible for these gowns if they get damaged/lost etc. so make sure you’re
organized!
Sizes are tricky because you can’t get everyone to come over and try them
on- these are the same as x-ring gowns so if they remember that number it would be
the same, otherwise what we did was the lady at the bookstore told me I would be a
48 and then we sent an e-mail to the grads, gave them all the possible gown sizes,
and told them to let us know what size they wanted. It’s easier this way, because
then it’s not your fault if it’s too big/small. We didn’t have many problems. For
people who don’t respond to tell you a size, just put them down for something and
rent a gown anyways- better to have something than nothing
Pick up the gowns yourself and take them to wherever the photo is being taken (get
someone with a car to drive them over for you). Come up with a system to make
sure you keep track of gowns and hoods- they are crazy at the bookstore and if one
is missing then it’s you who pays!
Grad List
Ask Doris for a grad list- this isn’t the final list and some people may be on it
that aren’t graduating and people might not be on it who are- so you kinda just have
to do some digging and asking around to make sure everyone who needs to be is on
the list- if there are people who you aren’t sure of and they don’t respond to e-mails
– just put them down for a gown anyways, better to have extra
Price
The photo, frame and mounting comes out to about $250-300
Grads can order 8x10s for themselves for 20$
