A stole is an accessory you wear on graduation day, but it’s also more than that. It celebrates your unique story, remarkable achievements, school pride and cultural background.

An affiliation stole is the perfect way to honor your heritage. From Kente to Serape and Native American, to military, pride and first generation, we offer a variety of affiliation stoles to choose from. You can also add a custom heritage tip on your personalized stole.

Wear your stole over your gown and around your neck, making sure it’s resting flat on your shoulders. Cords can be placed on top of the stole with the ends hanging evenly.

Layering graduation stoles is a stylish way to celebrate your achievements. Start with your base stole lying flat on your shoulders with the ends hanging evenly. Layer narrow or decorative stoles on top, keeping them slightly offset so each one is visible. Secure them with safety pins for extra support if needed.

On graduation day, a stole of gratitude is gifted from the graduate to someone who provided help or support, like relatives, loved ones or mentors.

A first-generation stole celebrates the significance of those who are the first in their families to graduate college.
