You know, it's not mandatory to attend the graduation ceremony.

It will be when I start teaching college kids. I don't want to wear that mess for the rest of my academic career.

Spent 30 years in academia - know more colleagues who wore wtf they wanted or borrowed someone else's because they didn't want to buy or rent. When you order your regalia in your academic career just specify A&M.

Been to more than 30 college graduations in a robe.

1. Nobody cares what yours will look like. Most people are too busy sweating in their cheap rental. I bought a good one many years ago that is heavier than the rentals and it breathes. Get one with slits for your hands to go inside to get things out of your pockets.
2. That actually doesn't look bad.

Are you sure you'll get an academic position? They aren't guaranteed if you get a PhD.

There's a lot that can happen between now and then, but my plan is to move into academia as an adjunct in about a year or two. A good friend and mentor at A&M has encouraged me not to go the Ph.D. route, but rather to go DMA, since I am first and foremost a performing trombonist. My interest in this Ph.D. program is my desire to fully understand why college students succeed or fail, especially transfer students. I think that could make me a better educator and better equip me to contribute to programs that need improvement.

Sounds really great! Hope it all works out well.

I went to a school that is part of the UT system so my degree says The University of Texas at the top. It makes me sad every time I get paid for just one second that I have even a weak connection to that horrible institution.

My former husband has a DMA and wears the regular graduation robe of his institution plus a hood every year.
Wear whatever you want.

Avoid a lifetime of embarrassment by attending a good school with "Texas A&M University System" inscribed across the top of your diploma!

**** the system. I am embarrassed at Amarillo, kingsville, etc. saying "Texas A&M". They shouldn't get our PUF money either.

They finally shut down Qatar, but now you can spend four years in McAllen and get an Aggie ring? That's bull*****

I don't believe there is any school in the A&M system offering a DMA. Not even Kingsville, and that's the strongest music school in the system.

I recall a stretch back in the 90s reading that something like 2 out of 4 years the top t.u. law student (or student president?) was a Texas Aggie.

Go, kick ass, and take names

Nope. Each school has its own unique seal design and ring.

Galveston, McAllen, the law school in Fort Werf all get the same ring I wear. I've accepted Galveston, Law School... um.... ok... maybe. An B.S. 100% from McAllen is BS.

Well, the BOR authorized it, for better or wurst.
