The regalia serves as the defining visual feature of the graduating class at the Commencement Ceremony. During the ceremony, the tassel of the Cap is traditionally shifted from the left side to the right, symbolizing the transition from student to alumni. Additionally, the Gown acts as a unifying symbol of honor among peers.
