📝 About Graduation Season 2026
Running from May through June in the United States, graduation season celebrates the completion of academic programs from high school through doctoral degrees. The tradition of caps and gowns traces back to 12th-century European universities, where scholars wore clerical robes for warmth in unheated stone buildings — the mortarboard cap may derive from the biretta worn by Catholic clergy. In the U.S. alone, approximately 4 million students graduate high school and nearly 2 million earn bachelor's degrees each year, generating a commencement industry worth billions in regalia, photography, and gifts. Customs vary globally: Japanese graduates attend formal sotsugyoshiki ceremonies, Scandinavian students wear distinctive white caps, and Filipino graduates host elaborate 'graduation balls.'
