We're getting ready to celebrate!
The December 2025 Doctoral Hooding Ceremony will take place on Saturday, December 13, at 10:00 a.m. in the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts
The Doctoral Hooding Ceremony is a wonderful opportunity for our doctoral degree recipients, along with faculty mentors, to celebrate their achievement in a university-wide setting. The ceremony includes comments from campus leaders, with deans from each college and school present to congratulate students on their achievements. The focus of the ceremony is the formal "hooding" of doctoral degree recipients, often by faculty advisers.
We look forward to celebrating our graduates along with family and friends at the in-person event and via the live stream that will be posted on this page the day of the event.
