Mean Green Gowns for Grads (MGGG) is a project aimed to assist UNT's first-generation college students, DACA
students, historicallyunderrepresented students, or low-income students with a free rental of graduation regalia while also reducing the
carbon footprint of Mean Green graduations. This We Mean Green Fund supported project benefits the environment by extending the life of caps and gowns beyond one use. Mean Green
Gowns for Grads allows eligible graduates to temporarily borrow academic regalia free
of cost from the Dean of Students office, which not only increases participation in graduation ceremonies but also
reduces waste through the reuse of caps and gowns. Graduates who do not participate
in the program have the opportunity to donate their used gowns after their graduation
ceremony for future use by other graduates to contribute to the reuse effort and ensure
no one is left behind.
This We Mean Green Fund project was proposed in 2020 to support the MGGG initiative launched previously under the direction of the Dean of Students. The project received $11,000.00.
