This event honors our students who have completed or are completing doctoral degrees from summer 2018 through spring 2019, and recognizes not only their years of hard work and creativity, but also the devoted advisers who mentored and inspired them.
During the ceremony, advisers will hood each student as a public symbol of the student’s imminent doctoral status. This formal ceremony, which also includes family members and friends, is an ideal way to acknowledge and honor the hard work of each student and adviser before students head out into the world.
