Princeton University’s graduate degree recipients and their mentors, family and friends gathered virtually on Monday, May 24, for the Graduate School’s 28th Hooding Ceremony. Many had also gathered in person on Sunday, May 16, for Princeton’s socially distanced Commencement, held for the first time at Princeton Stadium.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this was the second consecutive year in which the Hooding Ceremony was pre-recorded and broadcast online. The ceremony remains available for viewing.
In a pre-recorded message, Cole Crittenden, deputy dean and acting dean of the Graduate School, praised Princeton’s advanced degree recipients for their achievements “under extraordinarily difficult circumstances.”
