All students graduating with a Norwich University master's degree are invited to attend a traditional academic hooding ceremony on Friday, May 2 from 4 PM to 5:30 PM in the Shapiro Field House. Reception to follow in Doyle Hall.
The Hooding Ceremony is a special recognition ceremony for master's candidates. During the ceremony, a faculty member places the master's hood over the head of the graduate to signify their success in completing the graduate program.
The ceremony is similar to a graduation in that there is a processional and a recessional, and faculty and graduates are dressed in academic regalia. Students will be responsible for purchasing their own academic regalia. Details will be distributed at a later date.
A reception in Doyle Hall will follow the ceremony.
Tickets are not require for this event but we do ask that you sign up to attend and let us know how many guests you are bringing. The registration for the Hooding Ceremony is not the same as the registration for the Commencement Ceremony.
