County College of Morris

County College of Morris (CCM) holds its annual commencement ceremony at the William G. Mennen Sports Arena in Morristown, New Jersey. Graduates from the current and recent terms (May, August, December) are recognized as they process, and each student is called individually to the stage by the college president and deans.

In terms of academic regalia, CCM requires that all graduates wear an official cap, gown, and tassel. According to the regalia vendor for CCM, students must wear keeper regalia (i.e., one they can keep) to participate in the commencement procession. Notably, the 2024 commencement program reveals that CCM uses eco‑friendly gowns made of recycled plastic bottles; these gowns are light-gray for associate degree and certificate recipients.

When it comes to honor cords and stoles, CCM provides a detailed list of color-coded regalia for different honors societies and student groups in its commencement program. For example:

• Gold cords are worn by members of many honor societies.
• A navy stole denotes Sigma Chi Eta (Communication).
• Alpha Beta Gamma (Business) students wear a navy stole with yellow lettering.
• Phi Theta Kappa graduates wear a gold stole with navy lettering and a peach cord.
• Veterans may wear a red, white & blue cord or an appropriate stole.
• The LGBTQA+ student union may wear a black stole with a rainbow design.
• First-generation students wear a white stole, sometimes with kente cloth options.

Faculty regalia at CCM follows traditional academic dress. The college’s commencement program notes that faculty and administrators wear doctoral or master hoods with colored velvet trim representing their degree discipline.

In short, CCM’s commencement combines sustainability (recycled gowns), formal academic tradition (cap, gown, tassel), and meaningful honor distinctions through a well‑defined, color-coded system of stoles and cords for its many student groups and honor societies.
