Lodging Accommodations

Emporia has a variety of motels and bed-and-breakfast inns. Phone numbers and addresses can be found from Emporia's Convention & Visitors Bureau at: www.emporiakschamber.org. Click on Accommodations under "Visitors" on the menu at the left of the page.

Graduation Photos

Chappell Graduation Images will be providing a candid photography service at commencement. Each graduate will have her/his picture taken at the moment they receive their diploma. A full color proof will then be mailed directly to the graduate's residence. There is no obligation or charge for shooting these pictures, and since all graduates receiving diplomas will be photographed, there is no need to contact Chappell Graduation Images prior to the graduation.

Chappell Graduation Images encourage students to preregister their e-mail addresses and also those of up to 6 family members. This way, once the photographs became available for ordering and viewing, the company will automatically notify those who have registered. Their website is http://www.gradimages.com/Register.cfm.
