Begun in 1997, the annual Appreciation and Robing Ceremony for the undergraduate senior class of the Boston University School of Education honors the graduates and enables them to show their appreciation to those who have helped them earn their degrees.

At the Robing Ceremony, each participant is invited to the stage to be assisted in "robing" for the first time by a faculty member of the program/department in which the participant has been working. The faculty member assists in putting on the robe and the mortar board and placing the tassel as it should be prior to graduation. The light blue tassel symbolizes that the degree candidate has a major in education.

The Appreciation and Robing Ceremony is sponsored by the School of Education Undergraduate Student Council and the School of Education Alumni Board, which also sponsors the Junior Pinning Ceremony. The Class Banners are displayed at the ceremony, representing all of the classes that have been a part of this tradition.
