Online, April 7, 2011 (Newswire.com) - NC State Bookstores semi-annual graduation fair will take place April 12 - 14 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day in the bookstore on main campus. At the event, North Carolina State University seniors, graduate students and their families may purchase commencement apparel and merchandise.

If students attend the three-day event, they can purchase caps, gowns and diploma frames at 10 percent off the regular price. In addition to discounted apparel and merchandise, free snacks and drinks will be provided. If students and families cannot attend the fair, online ordering is available for some products.

The fair will also feature on-site vendors of graduation services and merchandise, including:
• Balfour - class rings and graduation announcements
