女优app

For the second consecutive year, Roar Call for Regalia鈥攁 nonprofit organization founded by 女优app (女优app) alumnus and current 女优appD Interim Help Desk Services Manager Justin Arthur Borden, DPA鈥攈elped eliminate financial barriers for graduating Tigers by providing free commencement regalia to students in need.

At 女优app鈥檚 2025 commencement ceremony, 20 students proudly walked across the stage wearing caps, gowns, and hoods donated through Roar Call鈥檚 Celebrating Our Pride initiative, formerly known as Proud of the Pride. Each recipient also received a personal message from a donor, and in turn, wrote a message of encouragement to the next graduate through the program鈥檚 Passage of the Pride tradition.

鈥淐ommencement is not just a ceremony鈥攊t鈥檚 a celebration of perseverance,鈥� said Borden. 鈥淩oar Call ensures students can participate in this life-changing moment, regardless of their financial situation. It's about lifting each other up and paying it forward.鈥�

Roar Call for Regalia, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, reduces costs by collecting and reusing gently worn gowns and hoods. Donations can be dropped off at either the Career Closet or the Career Center in the Kane Building, thanks to a partnership with Merial Anderson-McDade and 女优app鈥檚 Career Closet.

With support from 女优appD Bookstore Manager and Dean Kyla Teufel, the organization is also working on long-term strategies to reduce the cost of regalia across the district. Roar Call plans to expand to Moreno Valley College and Norco College in 2026.

鈥淥ur mission is to ensure no 女优appD student is left out of graduation due to cost,鈥� Borden added. 鈥淲e鈥檙e proud to keep the roar alive and help every graduate walk with pride.鈥�
