Hooding Ceremony

The Oklahoma State University Honors College presented its degrees and awards to 110 students during a hooding ceremony in May. The degree is the highest that can be presented with the undergraduate degree. 

Students were hooded by representatives from their specific college to symbolize the prestigious honor. They also had the opportunity to wear their hood with normal graduation regalia at the OSU commencement ceremony. 

The Honors Award designates the completion of all the Honors College Degree requirements with a minimum grade point average of 3.5. It is earned by completing several hours of additional academic requirements for a General Honors Award and a Departmental or College Honors Award. Students involved in the ceremony were also recognized with other special Honors College awards.
