People have asked what a hooding ceremony is. It's where the doctoral studen=
ts are presented with their academic hoods. =46rom Wikipedia,
"An academic hood is a symbolic garment, which is worn draped around the nec=
k and over the shoulders, displayed down the back with the lining exposed. T=
he hood=E2=80=99s length signifies the degree level; with the institution's c=
olors in the lining and a velvet trim in a standardized color that signifies=
the scholar=E2=80=99s field."
