Each year, auditoriums and stadiums are packed with proud families and friends eager to attend the commencement ceremonies of high schools, colleges, and universities. Tassels dangle from the mortarboards in the colors of their prestigious companies.. Graduates and families are preparing for the big day with each gown crisply pressed, graduates and families..
As your day approaches, graduate students, as your day arrives, square your shoulders, and keep your gazes focused on the future. In this moment, pause to consider all of your challenges.. Move your tassel as the principal or dean reads your name and your diploma is in hand.
Students in high school and undergraduate students start with their tassels on the right and then move their tassels to the left after graduation. The tassel begins on the left and progresses to the right after completing their higher-level degrees for those earning graduate degrees and above. These traditions of moving the tassel have only recently gained traction in the last 50 years..
