I have this in my office for my undergrad one and am looking for a good photo for the law school one. I think it looks great and it’s large so it takes up a lot of wall space so less decorating. I got the undergrad one from the campus bookstore but they sell the same style on the website that Meg March referenced.

I’m a director of development at a 50 person legal aid nonprofit (Boston area for reference). All the attorneys hang their undergrad/law diplomas, and some paralegals hang diplomas/certificates as well. Is it appropriate for me to hang my BA and MA diplomas? Both are from top schools. The other consideration is I’m in an open office. I have 2 walls in a corner, but the other side is open. I do see potential donors, and I’d like to show them my credentials if I’m asking for $$.

Really late to conversation, but I would not frame an MBA. We lawyers frequently frame our law degree but that is a reflection of the culture and nature of the job. You MUST have a law degree to practice as a lawyer and your value as a lawyer is fundamentally premised on and associated with the prestige of your law school, throughout the entire length of your career. (I worked in business before law and it really is bizarre) But, in business, you don’t need an MBA to be a CEO, CFO, director, or Chairman. And, in fact, some of the most successful business people never got an MBA and just learned coming up the ranks. So, I wouldn’t advertise my MBA because it may send the wrong message. Google commercials about Fed Ex and MBA. You’ll see what I mean. (Guy thought he was the bomb because he had an MBA but admin had to show him how easy it was to send a Fed Ex package. It’s poking fun at the overinflated importance an MBA grad puts on their degree).

Late to reply–but I have this with my undergrad diploma and I love it.

Kinda like this, but with the picture in landscape over the diploma:

I always really admire it. Has anyone else ever seen this? Thinking about getting this done as well (eventually).
