Graduates are welcome to wear a stole that represents their involvement in a club, organization, or learning community during the commencement ceremony.

Stole colors may vary depending on the group and are a meaningful way to recognize your achievements, affiliations, and experiences during your time at the college. Students are encouraged to select the stole that best reflects their participation and accomplishments.

The Pride Learning Community (LC) has adopted a lavender color stole as the "official" stole for their LC.  Students can choose from a rainbow color tassel or a blue, pink & white tassel.  

These programs, learning communities and clubs also have different color stoles: EOPS, MESA, Veterans, Puente, Kasaysayan, Athletes, and Student Support Services (SSS).
