Grinnell, IA.
This fancy hat is what the President of Grinnell College
gets to wear at commencement. Nobody else gets to wear
such a stylin’ chapeau. However, if you get an Honorary
Doctorate of Humane Letters, you do get to wear a
velvet sash/hood over your cap and gown. So. That’s
pretty sweet. And by “pretty sweet” I mean “an unbelievably
exciting moment in my life and huge freaking honor.”
