Graduating students,

It's time to choose who you want to hood you at the graduation ceremony.  To do this, add the course "Hooding Professors" on TWEN.  Once you've added the course, click on "customized polling" which will be located on the left side of the screen. From there you can select three professors.  Then click "finish poll" which is on the top right of the screen.  The poll will stay open until 5 pm Friday, April 15.  The five professors with the highest vote totals will then be voted on next week and three will be selected from that group to do the hooding.

 

Thanks,

Daniel Cameron
