Hey there, future Master of the Universe! Are you ready to strut across the stage and claim your hard-earned degree? Of course, you are! But first, let's unravel the mysteries of the graduation hood, shall we?
Decoding the Hood:
All right, let's break it down. Your hood isn't just a fancy piece of fabric. It's a symbol of your brains, your grit, and your endless caffeine-fueled study sessions. Here's what you need to know:
Shell Shock: Velvet is on the outside, and the lining and chevron are on the inside. Think of it as your superhero cape, but, you know, more academic.
Length matters: Master's hoods are like mini-capes, shorter than those worn by the Ph.D. big shots. Still cool, though.
Shape Shifter: Their hood has a pointed end. Not because it's trying to tell you anything, but because that's the way Master's hoods roll.
The Hooding Ceremony:
Time to dress for success, my friend!
Step 1 - Place the hood over your head
Locate the loop at the top of the hood. This loop will be used to attach the hood to a button or hook on your gown.
Slide the hood over your head, allowing it to fall down your back.
Step 2 - Attach the front loop to your gown
Adjust the hood so that it drapes smoothly and evenly down your back, with the wider portion of the hood extending outward from your shoulders.
Attach the loop at the top of the hood to the button or hook near the neckline of your gown. This will hold the hood in place and prevent it from slipping. If there is no button, use a safety pin to secure the hood to your garment.
Step 3- Flare out the back and hook the loop over the button.
Make sure that the colors of the hood's lining (representing your university or college) are flared and visible on the outside, and that the velvet trim (representing your major) is prominently displayed.
Take the hook in the center and carefully loop it over the button on the left side to keep the hood flared.
Rock the graduation runway!
Last Word
There you have it, my soon-to-be masterful graduate! You're now armed and ready to rock that hood like a champ. As you stride across the stage, remember the late-night study sessions, endless essays, and caffeine-fueled madness that got you here. Wear that hood proudly, my friend. You've earned it.
