From turning up in special dress to jumping into a fountain (喷泉), graduation traditions around the world are quite different.
Bristol University, UK
Graduates at Bristol are unusual in that they don’t wear mortarboards (学位帽) at all, because once, as a story goes, too many mortarboards got thrown from Brunel’s Clifton Suspension Bridge, and it was thought to be dangerous.
Kanazawa College of Art, Japan
At the graduation ceremony of this Japanese art school you can wear anything you
want, which drives media (媒体) crazy. The yearly ceremony has become so famous that journalists turn up each year to see what the students are wearing.
New York University, US
After the graduation ceremony at New York University, students like to cool off by jumping into the New York’s Washington Square Fountain, still wearing their purple graduation dress.

7 . Middle school students in Valdosta are learning the importance of agriculture.
Lowndes County Extension agent (代理人) Joshua Dawson, helped seventh-grade students attending J. L. Newbern Middle School build raised bed plant boxes to grow crops. Dawson’s work with the school gardens began in 2014 as a part of the Valdosta School Garden and Orchard Project. Through support from local businesses and members of the community, it is used to introduce Valdosta elementary and middle school students to gardening and agriculture.
Some of the crops grown in the gardens include sweet potatoes, collards, carrots and kale. The harvested (收获的) produce is served by the schools’ dining rooms during lunch and students are allowed to take produce home depending on the harvest size.
Helping Dawson with the gardens are members of the local Master Gardener program. With his daily responsibilities as a County Extension agent, Dawson depends heavily on their support. “Without the Master Gardeners, I don’t know if any of this would be possible. They look after the gardens and work with the teachers more closely than I, and provide necessary feet on the ground for a lot of things,” Dawson said.
At the beginning, the students expressed worries about working in the garden, but Dawson said those doubts disappeared quickly. “I like watering the plants and working with the soil” said Anthony Aikens, a seventh-grader Anthony, who said his favorite subject is science, wants to be a zoologist or a full-time gardener when he grows up.
Dr Elena Ponder, principal of J. L. Newbern Middle School, said this project has attracted many students. She said working in the garden provides students with a cross-curriculum (交叉课程) where they apply different skills to solve problems. “Once you plant a garden, you have to attend to that garden. That shows you have the work ethic (职业道德), patience and time to put into something. That will translate into work-related skills they can apply to jobs in the future,” she said.

10 . Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between High School Summer College and a summer camp?
Stanford’s High School Summer College is an academically selective program that provides access to college education at one of America’s most respected universities. Summer College is not a camp, but an eight-week college experience that provides academic, social, and intellectual opportunities that cannot be found in a high school classroom.
What kind of student are you looking for?
We are looking for academically motivated high school students who are ready for a college experience. This doesn’t mean an applicant needs the highest test scores in their class, but we do need evidence that a student enjoys learning, understands how to be successful in an academically rigorous (严格的)educational environment, and is prepared to be in a college classroom.
Can I get a job to earn money during my time at Stanford?
High School Summer College students are expected to participate fully in our program. In addition to class time and study time, there are many daily and weekly activities scheduled for the group. To truly benefit from the summer experience, our students should be completely involved in all aspects of the program. High School Summer College students will receive no permission to work during their time on campus.
Can I leave campus while I’m there for the summer?
The Program Handbook details information about the question. High School Summer College students should not miss class for any reason. There is a strict school rule requiring all program participants to be at the dormitory and asleep for the summer by twelve midnight Sunday through Thursday, and half an hour later Fridays and Saturdays. As long as the above rules are followed, students are able to leave campus.
