The Commencement ceremony is a symbolic landmark in your educational career. It symbolizes the completion of a course of study and the conferral of the degree. Begun in the Middle Ages, the ceremony involves many venerable traditions, including the wearing of “academic regalia.” The colored gowns, hoods, capes and tassels and the distinctive caps and mortarboards evolved from attire worn when Commencement was still a religious ceremony associated with ordination. As educational institutions became more secular, the clothing took on a new significance. Today the colors and designs symbolize the degree, the field of study, and frequently the university granting the degree.
