Regalia Donations
Each year, countless NC State graduates don their regalia for just one day, then store them away for good. For many students, buying their own regalia can be a financial burden. Turn Your Tassel Forward addresses this issue by transforming a single day’s use into a legacy of generosity.
The program is free to participate in and requires no advance sign-up. Students can donate regalia to be cleaned, stored and made available for future graduates.
Designated Regalia-Recycle bins will be available in various locations across campus from May 8 to May 15, 2026 and immediately following the ceremony at Carter-Finley Stadium on Saturday, May 9 in the Murphy Center Lot.
