UTCVM Hooding and Graduation Ceremony on Web

The end of the 2009 school year brought two firsts in UTCVM history; conferral of degrees and hooding were performed in the same ceremony, and the ceremony was webcast for family and friends who could not attend. 62 veterinary students  graduated.

Traditionally, the College's hooding ceremony takes place a few days before the University's commencement.  This year, Dr. Jim Thompson, UTCVM dean, asked for and received permission for UTK Chancellor Dr. Jimmy Cheek to confer the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Degree during the same ceremony.  UT President Dr. Jan Simek attended the event.  Click here to watch the ceremony.
