Looking Ahead: A Bold New Year for Tassel

2025 was a year of impact and momentum. We launched powerful new features—from cap and gown integration to graduate gifting pages, digital programs, surveys, and more. And the numbers speak for themselves:1.8 million graduates crossed the stage with Tassel1.3 million names were announced using our platform2.9 million guest tickets issued seamlessly2,400 ceremonies powered by Tassel software$55,000 in cash gifts went directly to students through our new gifting platformEach of these milestones reflects our mission in action: making graduation more accessible, efficient, and meaningful—for schools, students, and families alike.Bigger Wins for Schools and Students2026 is here, and we’re stepping into it with bold plans, a bigger mission, and an even deeper commitment to graduates and the schools that serve them.This year, we’re rolling out major updates to the Tassel Hub, focused on real improvements that make graduation planning even easier. We have a refreshed interface that feels more modern, accessible, and efficient. It’s also faster, with smoother imports and exports, quicker data loads, and real-time progress updates that keep things moving. These updates will roll out through 2026 as part of our ongoing promise to take work off your plate, so you can focus on what matters most: your students.But that’s just the beginning.We’re also launching two powerful new products: Graduate Videos and Graduate Photos. These new features are designed to celebrate student achievements with high-quality, personalized keepsakes—without schools needing to partner with costly third parties. Graduates can get their photos and stage videos for free through their Tassel portal.And here’s what hasn’t changed: We still don’t pass costs onto students. Ever.We believe in a future where graduation isn’t just easier for schools. Tassel makes it more inclusive, more affordable, and more meaningful for everyone. In a world where grads are facing student debt, rising rent, and uncertain job markets, we’re doing our part to lift the weight on their shoulders.We're Not Done DisruptingThe graduation industry has made billions by charging students for their own achievements. We think that’s broken. So we’re fixing it—school by school, stage by stage.We’re here to set a new standard: One where student-first isn’t a tagline. It’s the way things work.We’re proud of what we’ve built with you. And we can’t wait to show you what’s next.Here’s to 2026! The year we make graduation better for everyone.
