Commencement is what high schools and colleges call graduation, because the students are commencing, or beginning, their adult llives. Instead of it being an ending kind of thing, it's really a celebration of everybody's new beginnings.

to commence simply means to begin or to start.

The term "commencement" typically IS associated with gradution, however.
