Chaminade University - 66th Commencement

MESSAGE from the PRESIDENT

Congratulations, graduates!

On behalf of our Board of Regents and Governors, faculty, alumni, and families and friends, it is my distinct pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all of you gathered here today. In just a few moments, all of you will leave the Waikīkī Shell as newly graduated alumni of our esteemed University. But before you embark on this next chapter of your lives, I am honored to share a few words about the road that lies ahead.

What I have witnessed and experienced from all of you in these past few years, particularly as we've emerged from the challenges of a global pandemic and Maui wildfires, is the genuine joy you derive from being together in person. Engaging in learning, debating, playing sports, performing, volunteering and simply enjoying time with friends—all of this has been embraced with boundless passion, kindness, exuberance and genuineness. Artificial intelligence cannot replace that connection. Nor can AI replace authenticity.

Throughout your academic pursuit, I have been deeply moved by your steadfast commitment to excellence and the values instilled by our Marianist traditions. Whether in times of adversity or moments of tranquility, you have exhibited unyielding dedication. The expertise you have acquired through your studies will undoubtedly serve as a foundation for your future endeavors.

You now possess the ability to address pressing issues, contribute to a more just society and leave a lasting impact on our world. I firmly believe that the power to shape the future resides within each of you. However, humility must accompany this power. With your education as your guide and humility as your ally, I have full confidence in your ability to tackle the complexities of our time.

Throughout our 69-year history, Chaminade has remained resolute to harnessing knowledge and innovation for the greater good. Class of 2024, I commend you for embracing this narrative and dedicating yourselves to social justice and community service.

As you embark on this next phase of your journey, may you carry with you the values of equality, freedom, justice and compassion instilled in you during your time at Chaminade. Together, let us continue to strive for a world where every voice is heard, and every individual is valued.

To the Chaminade University Class of 2024, I once again offer my heartfelt congratulations. Your fortitude, talent and dedication inspire us all. As you venture forth, know that you carry the hopes and dreams of generations past and the promise of a brighter tomorrow.

Your experiences at Chaminade are uniquely yours, and they will forever be a part of you. As you move forward, you will form new human connections, discerning what is authentic and what is not. I have every confidence that you will accomplish great things and I am incredibly proud of each and every one of you

Congratulations, and may your future endeavors be filled with success and fulfillment!

Wishing you the greatest success,

Lynn M. Babington, Ph.D. President, Chaminade University of Honolulu

HISTORY of

CHAMINADE

In 1955, the Marianists founded Saint Louis Junior College. Two years later, the college became a fouryear coeducational institution and got a new name. Its fitting namesake: Father William Chaminade (1761–1850), the founder of the Society of Mary and a social reformer who saw education as a way of transforming society for the better. In 1977, Chaminade added its first graduate programs—and received a final name change to reflect the expansion: Chaminade University of Honolulu.

Since its founding, Chaminade has undergone significant growth. The only Catholic university in the islands, Chaminade boasts world-class academic programs, a faculty of widely recognized scholars and a student body of innovators—tomorrow’s ethical leaders in a diversity of fields. We prepare students for success with 27 undergraduate and 11 graduate degree programs, mentorship, career development opportunities and a network of academic advising and other support.

While we’ve grown as an institution, adding state-of-the-art facilities and incorporating modern educational practices along the way, we remain driven by our founding values: to educate the whole student—mind and spirit—and help each of them seek out ways to make positive change in the world.

MISSION

Guided by its Catholic, Marianist and liberal arts traditions, Chaminade prides itself on its robust academic offerings, thriving campus community and rich development opportunities for students. But what makes Chaminade unique is its service-oriented mission: a commitment to create an environment that drives students, faculty members, administrators and staff to build a more just, peaceful society. Through hands-on learning and service projects, we prepare our students for success in their careers.

CHARACTERISTICS of A MARIANIST EDUCATION

A Marianist education considers the whole student, valuing critical academic inquiry, personal growth and service to others. Educational practice in the Marianist tradition has five distinctive characteristics:

• We educate for formation in faith, helping students with the search for meaning in their lives.

• We provide an integral quality education, feeding educational passions and creating lifelong learners.

• We educate in family spirit, forming a warm, welcoming 'ohana on campus that supports all students.

• We educate for service, justice and peace, committing ourselves every day to the common good.

• We educate for adaptation and change, recognizing that “new times call for new methods.”

PRESIDENTIAL INSIGNIA

The insignia of the Office of the President at Chaminade University honors Chaminade’s past while valuing its present and looking forward to the future. The insignia depicts a special medallion, worn by the president on occasions of note, which is suspended from four woven strands of Ni ‘ihau shells.

The medallion comprises six polished kukui nut shells, each with a symbolic relief: water, to represent the original home of the Marianist community in Honolulu; the rare lokelani rose, to honor Mary, mother of Jesus; the crest of the Society of Mary impressed on three crescents, which is the symbol for Bordeaux where the Society of Mary was founded; cherubs on mountains, representing the University’s home; a dove to symbolize the Holy Spirit; and the flaming sword or silversword.

CHAMINADE UNIVERSITY MACE

The tradition of the academic mace, or ceremonial staff, dates back to medieval Europe. Today, ceremonial maces are carried at the head of processions, including at the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.K. Parliament. In Chaminade’s academic tradition, the mace-bearer is the Faculty Senate president.

Chaminade’s mace includes a depiction of shooting flames symbolic of a flaming sword. Engraved into ‘ōhi ‘a lehua wood medallions on each side of the mace is the University’s motto: Vita in Verbo (Life in the Word). Both the head and handle of the mace are made of curly koa, a rare native wood.

The mace was designed by Robb Young ’75 as a gift to Chaminade from Mary Civille.

ACADEMIC REGALIA

Why do graduates, professors and administrators wear gowns, hoods and caps at commencement? The origins of formal academic garb date back to the 12th and 13th centuries, when the ordinary dress of the scholar was similar to that of the cleric or the priest. While modern professors and students no longer wear gowns to class, the tradition of academic regalia continues at special ceremonies.

Gowns: At Chaminade’s commencement, gowns are all blue. Gowns for those being conferred bachelor’s degrees have pointed sleeves and a fairly elaborate yoke. The gowns for those receiving master’s degrees have oblong sleeves, open at the wrists. The gown for the doctoral degree can be distinguished by velvet panels on the front and three bars on the bell-shaped sleeves.

Caps: There are several theories on the origin of how the mortarboard became a part of the academic costume. One explanation is that it evolved from the square biretta of Renaissance clergy. Velvet is reserved for those with doctoral degrees. During commencement, the tassel on the cap is switched from right to left when the degree is awarded.

Hoods: The hoods worn during commencement are packed with meaning. They signify the highest degree a person has attained, a scholar’s field of study and the granting institution. They vary in shape, color and length. The colors found on hoods can be used to quickly identify the wearer’s discipline.

CHAMINADE, ALMA MATER, HAIL!

Light of truth by tropic sea, Guide of youth, you keep us free. Your colors: white as curling foam, Your royal blue our island home.

Lift our loyal spirits high, With a sword of inspiration Lead to battle with the cry, “Life in the Word”— and victory For love of God and nation.

Rendezvous of West and East Home of evening star, a gleam, And morning star, pure silver beam, Hail, splendor, echo of the sun.

Lift our loyal spirits high, With the sword of inspiration Lead to battle with the cry, “Life in the Word”— and victory For love of God and nation.

Chaminade, Alma Mater, Hail!

Lyrics by Bro Joseph A Becker, S M (1911–2004) Music by John McCreary (1930 –2013)

NATIONAL ANTHEM

O say can you see, By the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed At the twilight’s last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, Through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched Were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets’ red glare, The bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there.

O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free And the home of the brave?
