Ceremony Week is traditionally always one week before the Midsummer week.

The multi-awarded designer Inni Pärnänen and alum of Aalto University designed the graduation pin exclusively for Aalto Graduation Party. The pin can be attached to a jacket collar, cuff or neckline. The centre part of the pin features the Aalto seal designed by Juha Markula, also alum of the university. The seal communicates the university’s values and academic spirit and it is only used on official diplomas in the academic context.
The first Graduation Party was organised in June 2018 as one of the main events of the first Ceremony Week at Aalto University. Approximately 1400 new alum with their families celebrated on 12 June last year. At the entrance the guests got their Grad Wraps, refreshments and an optional piccolo bottle of sparkling wine. The graduates were also given an Aalto tote bag and graduation pin with a card. After the pin ceremony and congratulations with short speeches the programme continued with dance in a beautiful summer evening, music provided by A!Top and Boston Promenade big band.
