Slippery Rock University's Office of Global Engagement hosted a Global Graduation Ceremony May 9 to recognize graduates who are international students, international exchange students and American students who studied abroad in long-term, credit-bearing programs. As part of the program, graduates were presented with stoles, sashes and pins that they can wear at the University's May 11-12 commencement ceremonies. International students wear stoles representing the flag of their native country, American students wear a hybrid of the U.S. flag and the flag of the nation where they studied and exchange students are presented a pin.
