Celebration of Graduates: Hooding Ceremony 2023

On April 27th, Rush Graduate College had the privilege of celebrating our 2023 graduates at our Annual Hooding Ceremony. The Hooding Ceremony is a special recognition of PhD and MS candidates, where a mentor of their choice is able to hood the graduate as a symbol of their academic success and completion of their degree program. We always enjoy this intimate celebration of our graduates, and are immensely proud of their accomplishments. Here’s to you, class of 2023! See more of our 2023 hooding ceremony here.
