The Meaning of Graduation |
Roughly translated as ‘taking a step’, graduation symbolizes the move of the former student (the graduand) into wider society as a graduate, now with proven talents which the University acknowledges by conferring a degree.
Graduation is the action of receiving or conferring an academic degree or the ceremony that is sometimes associated, where students become Graduates. The date of graduation is often called degree day. The graduation itself is also called commencement, convocation or invocation. |
