The University of Michigan-Flint’s Fall 2025 Commencement ceremonies, Dec. 14, at the Dort Financial Center, were equal parts celebration and self-expression. Nowhere was that more evident than atop the graduates’ caps. From thoughtful reflections to playful nods like the beloved Wolverbear, each design told a personal story. Together, they offered a creative and fitting way to put a “cap” on an unforgettable weekend. Photos by Stephanie VanWagoner, Office of Marketing and Communications, and Danen Williams.
