The hooding ceremony honors CPHHS graduate students, from all programs, who completed their master’s level or Ph.D. degrees during academic year 2017-2018, which includes Fall 2017 through Summer 2018.

It is optional for students participating in the ceremony to wear the graduation regalia-cap, gown and hood. For those who choose to wear the regalia, the program adviser will "hood" them during the ceremony. Those choosing not to wear the regalia will be honored in the same way as those who wear the regalia, but they will not be hooded.
