Faculty, staff and students are invited to celebrate master's and doctoral degree recipients in June of each year with a special "Hooding" ceremony. Participation forms and further details will be sent out before the ceremony.
Please remember, you must register for the PSU Commencement separately from the Public Administration Hooding Ceremony.
To participate in Academic Hooding, graduates must wear academic regalia (cap, gown, hood/cowl, and tassel). Academic regalia will be available through the PSU Bookstore online; it is advisable to get regalia well in advance. You can call the bookstore directly at 503.226.2631.
