When Colleges and Universities Hold Convocations and Graduations, Faculty Members

question 11

Essay

When colleges and universities hold convocations and graduations, faculty members in the procession wear cap and gown. Each represents the highest academic degree, general field of study, and the university where the professor's highest degree was granted. Most faculty members understand the color symbolism of their caps and gowns, but students and their parents often do not. What meaning is being conveyed to students and parents if they do not understand what the different colors encode? Does it matter if faculty members do not know what the different gowns and caps represent?
