This Week @ AU

In keeping with the trademark colors for the university, Auburn University has negotiated a change in the colors of graduate hoods, both master’s and doctorate. The previous colors were powder blue and salmon; no record was found indicating why or when these colors were chosen. The new colors will be navy and orange which are readily associated with Auburn. The new hoods will first be used during the spring 2009 commencement ceremonies. Although the previous rental hoods will be retired then, Auburn graduates who have previously purchased their hoods may still use them. These colors will continue to be recognized and honored. Alumni may prefer to keep wearing the hoods they first received or may purchase hoods with the new official Auburn colors. To purchase new hoods, contact the Auburn University Bookstore in Haley Center at 844-4241. For more information regarding the new hood colors, visit www.auburn.edu/graduation.
