Your graduation is a special day for reflection, celebration, a look to the future, and sharing in time-honored traditions. The UC Davis Memory Sash offers the opportunity for you to say, "I did not do this alone… thanks for helping make my dream possible." It is a lasting symbol of love, appreciation, and academic achievement at UC Davis.

Share this special moment with those close to you by planning a presentation ceremony of your own. On the back of your sash, using a permanent, opaque marker, write a few words of appreciation to a parent, relative, or mentor who in some way has assisted you in your academic endeavor through educational, inspirational, or financial support. Present it to them immediately following the ceremony or during a celebratory party. Your heartfelt message and the fact that you wore the sash during your graduation ceremony will make this an intimate and special memento that the recipient will never forget.
