[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So will FCPS employee also then not wear their stoles for masters or phd? Just writing that makes this is all just silly now- the ceremony is for the pomp and circumstance so if not doing that, just email the diplomas in a .pdf file. If took vote, many would likely vote for that.[/quote]

I am a professor and have attended graduation at my institution a few times. I would love if we didn't have to wear any of the regalia. The hat, hood, and stripes on the sleeves are velvet. The robe is so much heavier than what anyone else wears. The cap looks silly and does not stay in place. I am all for having a ceremony for those who want that experience (I didn't even attend my own doctoral hooding; had started my job by then and didn't care), but would love to wear practical clothing! Most people don't even recognize the difference between the master's and doctoral regalia anyway.[/quote]

Yours is right take, but betting $ on Reid wearing her full garb even if students told no single cord. And yes, will the cords get thrown out or lost and never seen again- of course, but give graduates a day if want to wear them.[/quote]
