    Inclusion at Graduation: Putting Students First in Every Decision

    InclusionName AnnouncementsRegaliaSurveysCulture & Identity

    Graduation is more than a ceremony—it’s a milestone that represents years of dedication and hard work. At Tassel, we believe every graduate should feel seen, celebrated, and included in this moment. That’s why, at the heart of every decision and upgrade we make, we ask: Is this better for graduates?

    Making Every Name Count

    A graduate’s name is their identity, and hearing it pronounced correctly as they cross the stage is a moment of pride for them and their families. That’s why Tassel provides name pronunciation tools that allow students to submit phonetic spellings and audio recordings. Schools and universities can then ensure names are spoken correctly, giving every graduate the recognition they deserve.

    Cap & Gown for Everyone

    Graduation regalia should be a symbol of achievement, not a financial barrier. Many students struggle with the high costs of caps and gowns, which can prevent them from fully participating in their commencement. Tassel’s direct‑to‑student marketplace cuts out middlemen, offering more affordable pricing so that no student is priced out of their own celebration.

    Listening to Graduates Through Post‑Ceremony Surveys

    Inclusion doesn’t end when the ceremony does. We empower schools with post‑ceremony surveys that gather real feedback from graduates about their experience. From accessibility concerns to event logistics, these insights help schools refine their processes and create an even more inclusive celebration for future classes.

    Equipping Schools with the Right Tools

    While our focus is always on graduates, we know that real change happens when universities have the right tools to make their ceremonies seamless and student‑centered. That’s why we provide institutions with the technology, data, and support needed to prioritize inclusion in every aspect of graduation planning.
