SULC Held First Hooding
Ceremony, January 15
Fall
2009 graduates of the Southern
University Law Center (SULC) were
recognized in a Hooding Ceremony at 6
p.m., Friday, January 15, 2010, in the
Edward L. Patterson Moot Courtroom in A.
A. Lenoir Hall.
It was
the first time the Southern University
Law Center recognized its graduates with
a special Hooding Ceremony, according to
Chancellor Freddie Pitcher, Jr.
The SULC
Commencement is held during the spring
of each year. Since the opening of the
part-time Day Program in 2000 and
part-time Evening Division in 2004, an
increasing number of students have
completed graduation requirements
following the summer and fall semesters,
becoming eligible to take the bar
examination in February prior to the
SULC Spring Commencement. This special
Hooding Ceremony does not take the place
of Commencement. All graduates will
continue to have their degrees conferred
at Spring Commencement.

Doctor Degree were:
