Alumni Legacy Hooders

This Chicago-Kent tradition allows a graduate to be hooded by an alumni relative during the ceremony. If you are an immediate relative of a Chicago-Kent alumnus/alumna and would like them to hood you at the ceremony, please complete the information requested in the Alumni Legacy Hooder Form by Friday, April 5, 2024. 

Please note that an alumni legacy hooder must be BOTH 1) an alumnus/alumna of Chicago-Kent College of Law or Illinois Institute of Technology AND 2) an immediate relative of yours. Unfortunately, there are no exceptions to this rule.

All Alumni Legacy Hooders will participate in the Commencement processional and recessional and therefore will be sitting on the stage throughout the ceremony. Legacy Hooders do NOT need a graduation ticket. Legacy Hooders will wear caps and gowns and will pick up their regalia in the Faculty Robing Room on Commencement day.

The deadline to sign up to be an alumni legacy hooder is on Friday, April 5, 2024. Please contact commencement@kentlaw.iit.edu with any questions.
