Free caps and gowns for some UC Berkeley students

Graduation from UC Berkeley was a little easier this year for some students, thanks to the Graduation Gown Lending Project, which helped provide free caps and gowns for students who had difficulty purchasing them.  Youth Radio sat down with the organizers of the project.  “They’ve gotten to this point in their lives where they might have never thought they would have made it -- and they’re here, and they’ve completed all their years at CAL, and all the stress and hard work that comes with it. I can’t imagine a student not being able to attend their graduation,” because they didn't have $50 to get a cap and gown. Read it on Youth Radio.grad
