Spring 2026 PhD Hooding Ceremony

Each year, the KSAS Hooding Ceremony is an opportunity to pause and celebrate the significant achievements made by the PhD graduates over the past year. The Classics department was delighted to have recent Classics PhD graduate Yanneck Wiegers receive his doctoral hood at today’s KSAS Hooding Ceremony. Professor Karen ní Mheallaigh is shown here with Yanneck after placing his hood.

Congratulations, Yanneck!
