Commencement: At Hooding Event, a Faculty Role

Clifton Granby *15 receives his academic hood from Professor Eddie S. Glaude Jr. *97 during the Graduate School’s hooding ceremony in Richardson Auditorium. Granby, who received his Ph.D. in religion, was among the more than 100 advanced-degree recipients who chose to be hooded by their advisers — the first time the option has been offered. “Without his covering, I’m neither the scholar nor the person that I am today,” Granby said of Glaude. “It’s only fitting that he usher me out.”
