WEARING YOUR DEPARTMENT’S COLORS AT GRADUATION.
Follow us for more posts exploring the traditions that shaped our Ivy journeys.
Remember that day? The anticipation, the caps and gowns, and the distinct pop of your department's color. It wasn't just fabric; it was a vibrant testament to years of intellectual pursuit, late nights in the library, and the unique community within your chosen field.
For some, donning those hues was profound pride, a visible declaration of academic identity, the culmination of an arduous, rewarding path. It was a silent acknowledgment of inspiring professors, supportive peers, and knowledge gained. A true rite of passage, a final, colorful flourish on an unforgettable chapter.
For others, perhaps it was just another expected ritual, a footnote in the grander narrative. Yet, did it not hold a subtle power? A quiet symbol of the specialized academic world you mastered, uniting you with a specific lineage of scholars.
Whether you loved the tradition, found it quaint, or simply went along, those colors held a story. What did they mean to you then? What do they represent now? Share your memories, your reflections, the unspoken narratives woven into those academic threads. Let’s unravel the stories behind the stripes and sashes.
