In-person graduate attendees receive a Pendleton stole
Historically, blankets have been bestowed on Indigenous people to commemorate leadership and heroism. Pendleton blankets have been used for generations to signify qualities such as courage, strength, determination and bravery. In the spirit of this tradition, we honor student achievement by presenting graduates with a commemorative Pendleton stole.
