When the social media managers decide to form an alliance… 🎶🧠💪

Different disciplines. Shared goals. Joint forces. Maximum interdisciplinary chaos.

Tonight, we celebrated 37 new OTD graduates at the Cleveland State University Hooding Ceremony. 💚

A hooding ceremony is more than a tradition — it symbolizes the transition from student to doctoral professional. As each hood was placed, it represented years of hard work, growth, resilience, and the responsibility to serve others with knowledge, compassion, and purpose.

We are incredibly proud of the CSU OTD Class of 2026 and cannot wait to see the impact they make in the communities they serve. Congratulations — your next chapter begins now. 🎓✨
