[La-cgs] [EXTERNAL] Commencement Exercises

[Eddie Lyons]

Here at McNeese graduate students graduate with their respective college, and we have multiple ceremonies separated by colleges. Some have hooding ceremonies, some do not. It depends on the program. Personally, I do not like it. I would like the graduate school to have all students graduate together and have a hooding ceremony that further separates and acknowledges them from the undergraduates.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [La-cgs] Commencement Exercises

All,



We are rethinking how we run our commencement exercises. Can you share with me how/where your grad students graduate? Do you award all degrees together? Do you have a separate academic college ceremonies where all bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees in that college are awarded? Do you have a separate grad school ceremony? Do you do a hooding ceremony? And, if you do, do you hood only doctoral students or do you include masters?



And, more importantly, do you like what you do?



Thanks in advance for sharing.

Mary
