[La-cgs] Commencement Exercises

[Menon, Sanjay]

Our last few graduations have been virtual.  The last one was split into two sessions based on alphabetical order.  When we had the in-person ceremonies, we did have a hooding ceremony for our EdD students.  Sanjay

We had 4 graduations in the spring. I expect that trend to continue (or for us to have at least have more than one ceremony) as our graduations had become very large. COVID was a perfect excuse to split the ceremonies. We hooded only doctoral students on stage.

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
