Hooding Ceremony, College of Education
Each semester, the College of Education hosts a Hooding ceremony - a special recognition for our Ed.D., MS and SPEC degree candidates. During this ceremony, a faculty member places the graduate hood over the head of the graduate, signifying his or her sucess in completing the graduate program. The Hooding ceremony takes place on the same Saturday as the University Commencement.
The Hooding Ceremony is similar to a graduation in that faculty and students are dressed in academic attire. The Hooding Ceremony is in addition to and does not replace the Commencement at the Taylor Center.
