Congratulations MBA and MAc Graduates

hooding group photoThe Neeley School proudly hosted the Spring 2012 Hooding Ceremony for graduates from the Master of Business Administration and Master of Accounting program on Friday evening, May 11. Proud graduates from the Full-time MBA, Accelerated MBA, Professional MBA, MBA/Ed.D and Master of Accounting programs walked across the stage as their names were called and were hooded by dignitaries from the Neeley School.

The hoods for master degree candidates, part of their academic regalia, bear the colors of TCU and Business. The hoods were formally presented to MBA grads by Dr. William Cron, Associate Dean for Graduate Programs, and Dr. William Wempe, Executive Director of Graduate Programs. Hoods for the MAc grads were presented by Dr. Ray Pfeiffer, Chair of the Accounting Department, and Dean Homer Erekson. Neeley Scholars, those who graduated in the top 10 percent of their class, were recognized by Dean Erekson. (Neeley Scholars are noted below with asterisks. Double asterisks indicate top scholar.)

Graduates and their families and friends enjoyed a special reception following the ceremony on the lawn outside Ed Landreth Auditorium.

Congratulations Class of 2012!
