Each year, graduating students vote for faculty members who will serve as hooders at the Commencement ceremony. Students are asked to vote for individuals who have demonstrated a deep commitment to their education and training, are admired for their knowledge and integrity, and have shown support for their class.
Congratulations to the faculty members selected as hooders by the Class of 2024!
