Academic regalia is a common site at college and university ceremonies such as Convocation and Commencement - from the richly colored velvet robes of the professors to the simple cap and gown of graduating students.
Randolph College seniors personalize their robes, a proud tradition going back to the early days of the College's history as Randolph-Macon Woman's College.
The robes are worn at special events throughout the year including Convocation and Pumpkin Parade.
Buttons, ribbons, patches and other attached memorabilia tell the story of each student's experience at the college - events they've attended, causes they've championed, countries where they've traveled, honors they've received, friends they've made, good times they've shared.
Many college events offer a collectable button and the Student Life Office keeps a button-maker on stand-by for clubs and organizations.
In addition to the robes, seniors also express themselves through unique and often outrageous headgear. From silly hats and tiaras to mardi gras headresses, the game is on to see who has the top top.
