It is an important moment for those involved.

The hood has significance, so carry it folded in half lengthwise over your right forearm for uniformity.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>While seated during the ceremony before being hooded, keep the hood folded over your lap.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You will approach the stage when given the direction to do so. At this point, you will again carry your hood draped over your right forearm with the velvet toward your elbow.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Once the name reader pronounces your name, proceed up the stairs to the stage to the hooding area. Your personal hooder or the program\u2019s designated hooder will meet you there. Offer your right arm with the hood still draped to your hooder who will take the hood from you.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Turn and stand in front of the hooder, facing the audience. If you are taller than your hooder, bend your knees in a small squat.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The hooder will open the hood behind you. Then, they will lift the hood over your head and place it at your collar, draping the length of the hood down your back with the satin lining showing. Once it is over your head, you can stand straight. Pause to give them time to position your hood. Smile and enjoy the moment as a photographer takes your picture.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-row wsu-row--halves\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-column\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"792\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-medicine\/uploads\/sites\/2958\/2023\/04\/WSUMED-Commencement-Hooding-3-792x527.jpg\" alt=\"Student getting hooded\" class=\"wp-image-1323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-medicine\/uploads\/sites\/2958\/2023\/04\/WSUMED-Commencement-Hooding-3-792x527.jpg 792w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-medicine\/uploads\/sites\/2958\/2023\/04\/WSUMED-Commencement-Hooding-3-396x263.jpg 396w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-medicine\/uploads\/sites\/2958\/2023\/04\/WSUMED-Commencement-Hooding-3-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-medicine\/uploads\/sites\/2958\/2023\/04\/WSUMED-Commencement-Hooding-3.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-column\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"792\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-medicine\/uploads\/sites\/2958\/2023\/04\/WSUMED-Commencement-Hooding-2-792x527.jpg\" alt=\"Student getting hooded\" class=\"wp-image-1322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-medicine\/uploads\/sites\/2958\/2023\/04\/WSUMED-Commencement-Hooding-2-792x527.jpg 792w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-medicine\/uploads\/sites\/2958\/2023\/04\/WSUMED-Commencement-Hooding-2-396x263.jpg 396w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-medicine\/uploads\/sites\/2958\/2023\/04\/WSUMED-Commencement-Hooding-2-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-medicine\/uploads\/sites\/2958\/2023\/04\/WSUMED-Commencement-Hooding-2.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ul><li>After being hooded, turn to face the hooder to shake hand<s>s<\/s> as they extend their congratulations.
