Winter 2022 Cultural Stole Ceremony

St. Ambrose University will honor the ethnic diversity of its December 2022 graduates and celebrate academic and personal achievements during its Cultural Stole Donning Ceremony.

There are four stoles and each represents a cultural and ethnic identity: Asian/Pacific Islander, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, and Indigenous/Native American. For each ethnic group, the stole is a distinct color, yet all are adorned with the same three symbols. The first represents lifelong learning and knowledge. The second represents humility and strength. The third represents faith and trust in God.
