On Wednesday, December 11, 2019, Avery Rasmussen, a student in the UVM Larner College of Medicine's Master of Public Health program and vice president of the University of Vermont Graduate Student Senate, welcomed guests and fellow graduate students to the annual Graduate Hooding Ceremony. "Why would anyone seek out a challenge or difficult situation?" she asked the crowd. "Because that is when you grow and truly find out what you are made of."
The event, held in the Ira Allen Chapel, is a ceremonial landmark in graduate education and a recognition of the completion of the master's and doctoral degree students' studies.
At UVM, graduate students who have (or will) successfully complete their programs in August, October, and January are invited to participate and be hooded by their faculty advisor or another faculty member who has mentored them during their program.
This year, the College celebrated the achievements of 41 graduates from its Doctor of Philosophy and master's degree programs, which include the Master of Public Health, Master of Clinical and Translational Science, Master of Science in Medical Science, Master of Science in Pharmacology, Master of Science in Pathology, and Doctor of Philosophy in Cellular, Molecular, and Biomedical Sciences.
