鈥淕raduation shoes have become a major focal point at commencement, and we thought the event would be a great way to engage with our students and also celebrate this milestone in their lives in a really unique way,鈥� said Daniela Circonciso, Broward College鈥檚 digital media manager.
From sky-high stilettos to fancy flats and imaginative DIY creations, the footwear styles of graduates have emerged as a full-fledged backstage fashion event, complete with a step-and-repeat and a photographer to document the shoes for the College鈥檚 social media platforms.
This year鈥檚 event was accompanied by a shoe drive, allowing the Fall 2014 graduating class the opportunity to give back to the community before leaving as graduates. Broward College donated the collected shoes to In Jacob鈥檚 Shoes, a local organization that provides new and gently used shoes, school supplies and athletic equipment to economically disadvantaged youth.
