At Tassel, we’re committed to helping schools create seamless, inclusive, and impactful graduation experiences. Now, we’re taking it a step further with Tassel Trends, the first-ever global commencement practices survey. 

Tassel Trends is our new groundbreaking research initiative designed to understand the evolving landscape of commencement practices across higher education institutions. This comprehensive survey will collect data on logistics, traditions, budget allocations, and emerging trends, providing a clear picture of how schools are adapting their ceremonies in an ever-changing world.

Tassel Trends will be a Must-Read

We’re not just collecting numbers—we’re delivering powerful insights that schools can use to modernize their graduations. The Tassel Trends 2025 Report will be the go-to resource for institutions looking to benchmark their practices, make informed decisions, and future-proof their ceremonies. Plus, it cements Tassel as the ultimate partner for transforming graduation with cutting-edge digital solutions.

Why Your Participation Matters

Commencement is evolving, and staying ahead means understanding the latest trends in student participation, ceremony logistics, and technological innovations. With Tassel Trends, institutions will gain:
