graduation sash

Commencement honor band

A graduation sash is a decorative band of fabric worn diagonally across the chest and over one shoulder during commencement ceremonies.

Sashes typically indicate membership in honor societies, cultural organizations, or academic achievements: She wore a gold sash for the dean's list.

Unlike the universal cap and gown, sashes mark individual distinctions within the graduating class.
