The hooding ceremony celebrates the completion of the Doctor of Occupational Therapy and Doctor of Pharmacy degree programs. The hood, an essential component of academic regalia, is formally presented to the graduating learner by the Dean. It is placed over the learner’s gown, symbolizing completion of the academic program. The placement of the hood precedes the final step in the graduation process, which is the formal conferral of the doctoral degrees by the Dean and the President of Western New England University.
