On March 26, 2025, the Aoxiang Student Center Square on Chang’an Campus was transformed into a creative workshop. Under the guidance of the Student Affairs Department of the Party Committee, the graduate graduation cap DIY activity "Building Dreams with Time, Marching Forward with Song" specially planned by the School of Management was successfully held. More than 100 graduating graduate students used creativity as a brush to infuse their graduation hats with exclusive marks of youth.

On the day of the activity, the sun was shining and the atmosphere was enthusiastic. Graduates gathered at the venue and took an active part, embarking on this creative and emotional DIY journey with longing for the future and nostalgia for the past. A wide variety of handmade materials were provided on site: colorful artificial flowers, each seeming to tell a story of youth, adding natural vitality and romance to the graduation caps; round and bright pearls, exuding soft luster, inlaying the preciousness and beauty of the past years; vivid butterfly decorations, as if carrying the courage and new life of breaking through a cocoon to become a butterfly, gently embellishing the creations with vibrant vitality. In addition, some students brought their own special materials to customize their exclusive graduation caps. Filled with enthusiasm, the students all turned into talented designers.

After several hours of careful production, each graduation cap seemed to tell the exclusive story of the graduates — the late nights studying in the library, the hours of dedicated research in the laboratory, and the warm moments of striving and laughing together with classmates. These affectionate and creative works not only recorded the beautiful bits and pieces of campus life, but also symbolized the graduates’ expectations and pursuits for the infinite possibilities of the future.

Just as the theme "Building Dreams with Time, Marching Forward with Song" implies, this DIY graduation cap activity not only left precious youth memories for the graduates, but also injected infinite motivation into their upcoming new journey. It is believed that these creative and emotional graduation caps will continue to shine with the unique light belonging to the graduates in the years to come, accompany them all the way forward, and write a more brilliant chapter of life.
