Soft, calm, and full of purpose, light blue is more than just a soothing color—it’s the official shade for graduates earning degrees in Education. Whether pursuing a career as a teacher, administrator, counselor, or curriculum developer, education majors wear light blue stoles to honor the calling of shaping minds and empowering the next generation.

This tradition isn’t just about ceremony. It’s about legacy.

Why Light Blue? A Symbol of Wisdom and Serenity

In academic regalia, each color is steeped in centuries-old symbolism. Light blue was chosen to represent education because it evokes truth, peace, and understanding—all essential values in any learning environment.

The color reflects the calm authority of a great teacher and the clarity of knowledge shared in a classroom. As a universal symbol of trust and communication, light blue is the perfect representation for those who dedicate their lives to helping others grow intellectually, emotionally, and socially.

Honoring a Commitment to Learning
