Think about the most important days in a person's life: baptism and other religious and cultural ceremonies, wedding, and of course, graduation. Now, what do all these days have in common? They all involve a certain, traditional costume or item of clothing. These clothing items are usually of some symbolic importance. For instance, the white of a bride's wedding dress is meant to symbolize purity.
Now, if you think about a stadium full of students about to graduate and move on to the next stage of their lives, you probably imagine them all in the same uniform of long robes and pointy, square cap. But this conformity does not represent the truth of who these students are. They did not attend school to
become a bunch of identical automatons. They are each individuals with their own tastes, cultural backgrounds, and unique heritages. So why should they all look the same?
The truth is, these days students rarely walk across the stage to receive their diploma without some kind of adornment, whether it be a string of Hawaiian flowers or tape spelling a message on their cap. But there are other, more individual ways for graduates to express their individuality and culture.
Graduation stoles are fast becoming one of the most popular graduation accessories. They are often customizable for colors, graphics and symbols, so students can purchase graduation stoles that represent their country, culture, even their fraternity or sorority house.
Students should be encouraged to take pride in their cultural heritage and individuality as they proceed to the next phase of their lives. Graduation stoles with custom colors and graphics are the perfect way to commemorate graduation day and usher in everything that comes afterward.
