Green Hats
Green Hats are the handful of folks who for decades have always stepped up to make sure the TCM tradition stays intact. The honor to wear a green hard hat on the day of the festivities stems from involvement in the TCM Day Planning Committee, the leadership of the Engineering Student Leadership Council, TCM-APO ex officio and ALL honorable past and current St. Pats.
