Honor Cords

JEANC offers for purchase tri-color (gold, antique gold and navy blue) honor cords for graduating seniors to wear at commencement — and keep forever.

Eligibility requirements include all of the following:

• Student is a senior.

• Student has served more than one year on a student media staff, which can include enrollment in introductory classes.

• Student has served in a leadership position on the student media staff – OR – has been honored with a first-, second- or third-place award in JEANC’s on-site or annual contests.

• Student’s media adviser is a current member of JEANC.

Advisers are encouraged to join with other publication advisers in their school to reduce shipping costs.

Purchased cords will be mailed only to the adviser member who orders them. Purchases can be made with PayPal or major credit cards.

The order form will go live no later that March 15, 2026, so set a reminder on your calendar to come back and order your students' cords. We're in the process of ordering new cords for 2026, and pricing will be reflected accordingly.
