2024 Graduation Regalia Pick-Up Party

The ceremonies of commencement are a time to reflect upon the history of colleges and universities. The degrees and the regalia associated with them come to us from medieval European universities.
Four academic degrees are generally recognized: associate, bachelor, master and doctorate. Associate degrees are offered by two-year community and state colleges. The bachelor's degree, or baccalaureate, takes its name from medieval tradition.
Congratulations 2024 Graduates!
