Graduation 2021 Northeast News

Grab your cap & gown at Fall Graduation Kickoff Nov. 2

Did you hear the news? For the first time this century, Northeast State hosts a graduation ceremony in December honoring Summer and Fall graduates!

Summer 2021 and fall 2021 graduates are invited to pick up caps and gowns at the Graduation Kickoff event happening November 2 from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., on the Blountville campus next to Tri-Cities Airport.

Students are invited to campus to get their graduation cap, gown, tassel, and honors medallion at the Atrium area immediately inside the main entrance. There is NO CHARGE for Northeast State graduates to receive their cap and gown. Mask protocols for indoor areas are in effect during this event.

This history of academic dress goes back to the medieval universities of the 12th and 13th centuries. Those studying wore a habit or a cloak to which was attached a cowl or hood. This could be pulled up over the head or thrown back, according to weather conditions. Later, the gown served the dual purpose of providing warmth in the unheated halls as well as uniformity of dress.

Summer and fall graduates are requested to complete this short SURVEY:  https://forms.office.com/r/VNx76fwThy indicating if they want to participate and invite guests to attend.

Northeast State will host the Fall 2021 ceremonies at the Blountville campus on Saturday, December 11. Details can be found at this link: https://www.northeaststate.edu//Graduation-and-Beyond/Graduation-Ceremony/.
