I'm going to my friend's graduation ceremony next week. What's the point of these ceremonies?

Graduation ceremonies are a way to celebrate a student's achievement and mark the end of their studies. They often include awarding diplomas, giving speeches, and recognizing academic achievements.

What's the significance of wearing caps and gowns during the ceremony?
user
Wearing caps and gowns is a tradition that dates back to medieval times. The caps and gowns symbolize unity and equality among graduates, and the different colors often represent the institution or field of study.
assistant
Are there any other notable graduation traditions?
user
Yes, one common tradition is the tossing of caps in the air after the ceremony. This is a way for graduates to celebrate their achievement and mark the end of their academic journey.
