STOLES OF GRATITUDE AND STUDY ABROAD INTERNATIONAL STOLES The Herff Jones Stole of Gratitude offers an opportunity for graduates to thank people who have helped them in their educational journey. The stole is worn by the student during the commencement ceremony or at another occasion where a presentation is appropriate. After the ceremony, the new graduate presents the Stole of Gratitude to a person who provided extraordinary support and turned a dream into reality. The Study Abroad International Stole celebrates the achievements of students who have chosen to study abroad or who have chosen to study at your university from another country. Herff Jones offers the stole in a style representing many countries. These stoles are finished in all satin and offer attendees a special opportunity to recognize those students who have “gone the extra mile� in their educational journey. The Tribute Stole may be offered as a gift to honor a veteran, active military member or devoted graduate who has chosen to join the military following graduation. The Tribute Stole is worn during commencement as a way to symbolize their service so those in attendance may show respect, honor, and most of all, express gratitude for their service and protection of our country. 7
