December 12, 2020 Dear Graduate: One of the greatest honors for the University of Colorado Board of Regents, the institution’s governing board, is to be part of this commencement ceremony. Your success is a success for us all. Your degree is a measure not only of an accomplishment of dedication and talent, but also notice to the world that you have the skill and discipline to contribute greatly to any endeavor you pursue.

This commencement ceremony, like every University of Colorado graduation since 1935, will close with the reading of the Norlin Charge. As originally expressed by former CU President George Norlin in 1935, graduation “marks your initiation in the fullest sense of the fellowship of the University, as bearers of her torch, as centers of her influence, and as promoters of her spirit.” Welcome to the ranks of CU’s alumni family, which is over 475,000 strong. Congratulations on achieving this milestone. Well done and well earned!

Sincerely, The Regents of the University of Colorado

THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO

Back Row: Linda Shoemaker, District 2 (Boulder); Lesley Smith, Vice Chair, At Large (Boulder); Chance Hill, District 5 (Colorado Springs); John Carson, District 6 (Highlands Ranch); Glen Gallegos, Chair, District 3 (Grand Junction) Front Row: Heidi Ganahl, At Large (Superior); Sue Sharkey, District 4 (Castle Rock); John “Jack” Kroll, District 1 (Denver); Irene Griego, District 7 (Lakewood)

December 12, 2020 Dear Graduates, Congratulations on achieving a significant milestone in your life and welcome to the University of Colorado alumni family. To say you are graduating at an extraordinary time would be a huge understatement.

That you have done so amid such unpredictable and challenging circumstances is testament to your perseverance and resilience.

We appreciate your flexibility this year and regret having to cancel inperson commencement ceremonies. However, the health and safety of our community is paramount. You have worked hard to earn your degree and we recognize the importance of sharing your joy and success with those who supported you on your educational journey.

We are planning ways to host ceremonies for you in the future to appropriately honor your achievement.

Perhaps more than any other graduating class, you appreciate the importance of adaptability.

It will be essential to your success, in this time of COVID-19 and in the longer term.

Throughout your experience at CU, and particularly during this past year, you employed innovation, creativity, critical thinking and teamwork to reach your educational goal. These skills will serve you well as you enter a world where the rapid pace of change favors those most prepared to adapt to new challenges, new technologies, new thinking and a new reality.

I applaud your efforts and wish you the very best in this next phase of your life. I trust your University of Colorado degree will serve you well no matter the path you take.

I leave you with the words of former President Theodore Roosevelt, who said, “Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.� You are now part of a network of alumni that excels at work worth doing. Again, congratulations!

All the best,

Mark R. Kennedy President, University of Colorado

December 12, 2020 Dear Graduates: Congratulations on earning your degree from the University of Colorado Denver. It has been our privilege to be your partner on your educational journey.

While we’re all disappointed at being unable to celebrate this time-honored tradition in person, I want you to know that your tremendous accomplishments are not diminished by circumstance. In the best of times, earning a degree is impressive. But achieving this milestone in the middle of a pandemic reveals your exceptional character, grit, and determination. These traits will serve you well wherever your future takes you.

As we recover from COVID-19 and its economic and societal impacts, our world will need your talents, insights, compassion and intellect more than ever. I know you will rise to the challenge because you’re Lynx – you’ve already demonstrated that you’re more than capable of facing hard truths and then doing the hard work of making change.

With your graduation, you are joining a community of more than 100,000 CU Denver alumni, many of whom are leaders in the civic, nonprofit and business sectors—in Colorado and across the globe. Our alumni live in over 100 different countries and are shaping the social, economic and political landscape of our world.

As you leave today, we hope CU Denver has inspired you to be lifelong learners, innovative problem solvers and thought leaders in the communities where you choose to live and work. We invite you to stay connected to your alma mater and promise you a very warm welcome whenever you return.

Sincerely,

Michelle Marks, PhD Chancellor

The Norlin Charge to Graduates

___________________________________________________________________ From the baccalaureate address by President George Norlin of the University of Colorado, June 1935. ___________________________________________________________________ “You are now certified to the world at large as alumni of the university.

She is your kindly mother and you her cherished sons and daughters.

This exercise denotes not your severance from her, but your union with her. Commencement does not mean, as many wrongly think, the breaking of ties and the beginning of life apart. Rather it marks your initiation in the fullest sense into the fellowship of the university, as bearers of her torch, as centers of her influence, as promoters of her spirit.

The university is not the campus, not the buildings on the campus, not the faculties, not the students of any one time—not one of these or all of them.

The university consists of all who come into and go forth from her halls, who are touched by her influence and who carry on her spirit. Wherever you go, the university goes with you. Wherever you are at work, there is the university at work.

What the university purposes to be, what it must always strive to be, is represented on its seal, which is stamped on your diplomas—a lamp in the hands of youth. If its light shines not in you and from you, how great is its darkness! But if it shines in you today, and in the thousands before you, who can measure its power?

With hope and faith, I welcome you into the fellowship. I bid you farewell only in the sense that I pray you may fare well. You go forth, but not from us. We remain, but not severed from you. God go with you and be with you and us.”

THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO

38

THE HISTORY _______________________________________________________________________ The University of Colorado Denver is the leading public university in Denver. CU Denver offers 41 undergraduate degrees and 59 master’s degrees.

Doctoral programs are offered in Public Affairs, Health and Behavioral Science, Leadership for Educational Equity, Education and Human Development, Design and Planning, Bioengineering, Civil Engineering, Engineering and Applied Sciences, Applied Mathematics, Clinical Health Psychology, Health Economics, Geography, Planning, and Design School Psychology, Integrative and Systems Biology and a joint degree in Computer Science and Information Systems. Programs are tailored to meet the needs of a diverse student population, with special emphasis on assuring professional opportunities after graduation. Classes, serving over 15,000

students, are offered during weekdays, evening hours and on weekends.

The University of Colorado’s Department of Correspondence and Extension was established in Denver in 1912 to meet the needs of a growing population. As course offerings expanded, so did the demand for degree-granting status. The Denver Extension Center was renamed the University of Colorado-Denver Center in 1965, and by 1969, 23 fields of undergraduate study and 11 of graduate study were offered. In 1972, the Colorado General Assembly appropriated funds to build the Auraria Campus, CU Denver’s current site, and renamed the “Center” CU Denver. Two years later, the University of Colorado reorganized into four campuses – Denver, Colorado Springs, Health Sciences Center

(Denver) and Boulder. On June 30, 2004, the University of Colorado Board of Regents gave final approval to the consolidation of the University of Colorado at Denver with the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center.

At CU Denver, faculty members bring their work experiences to the classroom; they are aware of the challenges and advances of the urban environment and are responsive to the needs of students and the community. This combination of talented faculty and a highly motivated student body creates a vital and exciting educational environment. The goal is to offer its students the unique educational opportunity to combine real-world experience with academic excellence.

THE MACE _______________________________________________________________________ For centuries, in academic and ecclesiastical processionals, a mace has been carried by the marshal to symbolize the official opening and closing of a formal event.

The design of the mace encompasses all aspects of education. A globe representing the worldly scope

of education is the base of the staff. The middle of the design, which is the shaft, represents the profile of the Denver skyline and the Auraria campus. At the top of the mace, flames spiral upward representing the colleges and schools, sending her graduates as bearers of the torch into the community and world.

The mace was designed and created by Michael Brohman, instructor in the College of Arts and Media visual arts department, with special emphasis in sculpture and a CU Denver graduate with a Master’s in Architecture and Planning ’95.

THE ACADEMIC REGALIA _______________________________________________________________________ The pageantry and dress of the academic procession have been inherited from the medieval universities of the eleventh and twelfth centuries where academic life began, first in the church, then in the guilds. The teaching guild was the guild of the Master of Arts. The Bachelor was the apprentice of the Master, and the dress was the outward sign of privilege and responsibility.

Principal features of academic dress are the gown, the cap and the hood. Early in its evolution, it became necessary for universities to set rules to preserve the dignity and meaning of the academic dress. Two English universities, Oxford and Cambridge, are particularly noted for the development of the authentic academic costume, which through the centuries has changed only slightly.

Formal academic attire for American campuses was established in 1895 with the adoption of the Intercollegiate Code, which prescribed the patterns, colors and materials for each part of the regalia for the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels. The American Council of Education presented a revised code, which generally governs the style of academic dress today.

The Gown The flowing gown comes from the twelfth century.

While it originally may have been worn as protection against the chill of unheated buildings, today it has become symbolic of the democracy of scholarship,

for it covers any dress of rank or social standing underneath. Gowns vary in their trimming and the sleeve design. The doctoral gown has velvet facings down the front and three velvet chevrons on the bell-shaped sleeves. These velvet trimmings may be black or the prescribed color of the academic area.

The master’s gown has oblong sleeves, open at the wrist, while the bachelor’s gown has long pointed sleeves; neither has trimming. The bachelor’s gown is always worn closed; master’s and doctoral gowns may be worn open or closed.

The Cap When Roman law freed the slaves, they won the privilege of wearing a cap. The academic cap is a sign of freedom of scholarship as well as responsibility and dignity. Old poetry records the cap of scholarship as square to symbolize the book. The color of the tassel denotes the discipline. The square black mortarboard is the recommended cap, though some schools have adopted other styles. Doctors may wear a velvet cap with a gold tassel.

The Hood The hood identifies the level of the degree, the school that granted it and the academic area. The silk lining of the hood is the color or colors of the school. The color of the facing denotes the discipline represented by the degree. Some of the colors you may see represented today are: Architecture – Blue Violet Arts – White Business – Sapphire Blue Dentistry – Lilac

Education – White Education Specialists – Blue Engineering – Orange Environmental Design – Brown Fine Arts – Brown Journalism – Crimson Law – Purple Medicine – Green Music – Pink Nursing – Apricot Pharmacy – Olive Public Affairs – Peacock Blue Science – Gold The Honor Cords Silver and gold honors cords are worn by graduates who are awarded the following honors by their school or college: Summa cum laude (with highest honors) Magna cum laude (with high honors) Cum laude (with honors) Special honors Honors Distinction The gold and royal blue honors cords designate members of the Golden Key National Honor Society.

The red and white cords recognize those students who have served through their participation in Student Government.

Red, white and blue cords are worn by millitary veterans.

THE UNIVERSITY SEAL _______________________________________________________________________ In its history, the University of Colorado has used three different seals. The current seal, adopted in 1908, depicts a male Greek classical figure sitting in front of a pillar and holding a scroll. Next to the figure, laurel branches frame a burning torch. The inscription in Greek reads “Let Your Light Shine.”

The seal’s designer, Henry Read of Denver, chose the classical motif because Greek civilization “stands as the criterion of culture.”

The laurel symbolizes honor or success, the youth suggests the “morning of life” and the scroll represents written language.

From 1893 to 1908, the University seal was a copy of Wyon’s medallion, “Science Trims the Lamp of Life.” In this version, a Greek woman knelt before a lamp, and stalks of mariposa lilies decorated the border. Before 1893, an adaptation of the Colorado

39

State Seal was used, but it was never adopted by the Board of Regents.

The seal is used primarily on official documents, such as diplomas and transcripts that have been issued on behalf of the University. The Board of Regents uses the seal on its official documents and publications. The seal also appears on the President’s Chain of Office, the University Mace, Regent regalia and various formal publications.
