graduation lei
Ceremony flower necklace
A graduation lei is a garland of flowers, ribbons, or other materials draped around a graduate's neck during commencement ceremonies.
The tradition originates in Hawaiian culture, where leis mark important occasions, and has spread to schools throughout the United States.
Graduates sometimes accumulate several leis from family and friends: By the end of the ceremony, she could barely see over her stack of graduation leis.
