Because the College was a little late announcing when our graduate hooding ceremony would be, one of my advisee's family had already booked tickets for the this past weekend instead of the one before. She was so sad, so we hatched a plan.
Last night, I put on my whole regalia and went to her front porch. Her family and friends filled the front yard, and we did a mini ceremony--complete with me delivering her diploma and hooding her.
It was so fun! I love meeting students' families, and I loved being able to help her close this chapter of her life. It's one of those little perks of the job.
