All caps, gowns, and tassels are in traditional black. The academic hood is a symbol of your personal achievement-the means by which your degree and the college awarding the degree are readily recognized. The orange and green colors in the satin lining of the hood are ULV's colors. These colors are representative of the orange fields prevalent in the area over a hundred years ago when our institution was founded. There are two major entrances to Ortmayer Stadium.
Gates are open one hour prior to each ceremony for guest seating.
No matter how far you may travel from La Verne, the Alumni Association is here to keep you connected. It is their goal to inform and involve you in university and alumni activities. Remember, you will always be a part of the ULV community. However, eligible candidates are encouraged to participate in the highlight of the academic year. Commencement is particularly a momentous occasion for parents, family and friends.
