University campuses across the country are buzzing with excitement as graduation nears. Students look forward to the culmination of their academic journey, while family and friends prepare to celebrate their achievements. However, alongside the joy and festivities, a growing trend is making its mark on graduation ceremonies: the implementation of clear bag policies.
Why the Shift to Clear Bags?
- Security:
- The primary driver behind clear bag policies is the need for heightened security. Large crowds can create an environment more susceptible to security incidents. Stadium approved clear bags allow security personnel to quickly and efficiently inspect items, reducing the chances of prohibited items entering the venue.
- Faster Entry:
- Clear bag policies significantly speed up the entry process. Traditional bag checks can be time-consuming and lead to long lines. Transparent tote bags simplify the inspection process, allowing for quicker and smoother entry, ensuring that guests can get to their seats without delays.
- Consistency with Other Large Stadiums & Arenas:
- Many attendees are already familiar with clear bag policies from attending football games, concerts and other large events. By aligning with these established practices, colleges and universities provide a consistent experience for guests, reducing confusion and ensuring compliance. Most schools that have already adopted a clear bag policy require a transparent bag no larger than 12 x 12 x 6
For Graduates and Attendees
For student graduates and their families, the implementation of clear bag policies may require some adjustments. Ensure a smooth transition to the new requirements by following these suggestions:
- Plan Ahead:
- Be sure to check your college or university’s specific clear bag policy well in advance of the ceremony.
- Choose the Right Bag:
- Invest in a compliant clear bag.
- Pack Smart:
- Only bring essential items to the graduation ceremony. Most policies allow for small, non-transparent pouches for personal items like wallets, keys, and phones but these may also be subject to size restrictions.
- Communicate with Guests:
- Make sure anyone joining you at the graduation is aware of the clear bag policy to avoid any surprises at the entrance.
As clear bag policies become more prevalent at college graduations, they represent a broader trend towards increased security.
Congratulations to all the graduates, and here's to a safe and successful celebration!
