Barry Clayton Black Doctor of Humane Letters honoris causa Barry Clayton Black, you have shared the good news of the Gospel throughout this country and in foreign lands, bringing comfort and guidance to those serving in the United States Navy, and reminded the leaders of our nation of their responsibility to its citizens. With wit, compassion, and by example, you have inspired people to become their best selves, in service and in prayer.

From your childhood in inner city Baltimore to your exceptional tenure as the 62nd Chaplain of the United States Senate, you have relied on your rock-solid faith to challenge yourself to achieve higher goals and to awaken others to the call to action for the greater good.

You have been the first African-American, the first Seventh-day Adventist, and the first Navy Chaplain to serve the country in this role. There, you have provided counsel and fulfilled pastoral duties. There, also, you have stood like your Biblical hero, Daniel, among the lions, consistently speaking truth to power in a chamber of legislators, reminding them to replace cynicism with faith and cowardice with courage.

You loyally served your country in the United States Navy, offering direction, encouragement and moral focus to our military personnel. Your steady rise to the rank of Rear Admiral culminated with your retirement as the Chief of Chaplains and the Chaplain Corps. Through all your postings and travels, you avidly pursued education, making Salve Regina University your alma mater in 1989. Your master’s degrees in divinity, counseling and management, along with a Doctorate in Ministry and a Ph.D. in Psychology, are testament to your unquenchable curiosity and passion for knowledge.

Decorated with awards including the Navy Distinguished Service Medal, the Legion of Merit Medal and several medals for Meritorious Service, your sense of duty extends beyond the military. Your great achievements have been recognized by the NAACP Renowned Service Award for contributions to equal opportunity and civil rights; the Benjamin Elijah Mays Distinguished Leadership Award from the Morehouse School of Religion; and the Image Award from the Old Dominion University chapter of the NAACP for your military excellence.

Because you have in all ways embodied the Principles of Mercy: listening with an open heart, urging moral action, and preaching justice even when unfashionable, Salve Regina University is truly honored to confer upon you the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa, with all its attendant rights and privileges, on this fifteenth day of May, 2016.

Claudia Fritsche-Mündle Doctor of Humane Letters honoris causa Claudia Fritsche-Mündle, you have served the Principality of Liechtenstein, your beloved homeland, for your entire adult working life. With dignity, wit, and complete dedication, you have been central to this small country’s modern emergence as an honest broker of peace, international trade and equality of gender relations on the global stage.

Your diplomatic career has spanned nearly 40 years from your earliest position as the Secretary to the Liechtenstein parliamentary delegations to the Council of Europe and the European Free Trade Association. Through decades of diplomatic service in diverse roles, you gracefully represented Liechtenstein at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg and in the nation’s embassies in Bern and Vienna. During the important years when Liechtenstein women received the right to vote, you were the government’s representative to the European Committee on Equality between Women and Men, while simultaneously chairing the Liechtenstein National Committee working toward the same noble goal.

In 1990, you became Liechtenstein’s first representative to the United Nations and there distinguished yourself as the vice-president and member of the General Committee of the United Nations General Assembly and as president of the International Association of Permanent Representatives to the U.N. In 2002, you opened your nation’s first embassy in Washington, D.C., where you have served with honor as Liechtenstein’s first Ambassador to the United States.

Your diplomatic dedication has been matched by your interest in the education of young people for leadership roles in our global community.

You have been one of the strongest, most effective advocates for the Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy at Salve Regina University, serving as a wise liaison between the Pell Center and the Princely Family of Liechtenstein. To ensure the success of the Pell programs, you have been exceptionally generous with your time, talent and resources.

You are known for your accessibility, warmth and hospitality to the students of the Nuala Pell Leadership Program.

With gratitude for your loving friendship and with deep affection, we are privileged to confer upon you the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa, with all its attendant rights and privileges, on this fifteenth day of May, 2016.

Thomas A. Rodgers III (posthumous) Doctor of Humane Letters honoris causa Thomas A. Rodgers III, we remember and celebrate you as one of the truest friends of Salve Regina University and of education in New England.

You never lost your roots in Fall River, Massachusetts. After graduating from Brown University, you returned to the Rodgers’ family business, Globe Manufacturing, and devoted yourself to your wife Gisela, your family and your community in Tiverton, Rhode Island. You were ever loyal to your friends. You were an avid sportsman, known by all for your dry and perfectly-timed sense of humor.

You were a humble, quiet man who spoke little of yourself, but you listened to the challenges and needs of so many others and you responded with open hands and a generous heart. You were like the Good Samaritan of the parable, offering compassion and practical help, even to strangers. To Salve Regina University you gave years of steady advice, dependable friendship and considerable gifts beyond counting. Following in your family’s tradition of humanitarianism, it was always your determined wish to make a difference in the lives of others, and as such, the Department of Nursing at Salve Regina bears your family name.

Beyond this University, your philanthropy extended to Bristol Community College as well as your hometown Boys and Girls Club and YMCA. You were the co-founder of a home for abused children in Tepoztlán, Mexico. In addition to Salve Regina, the boards of directors for the United Way, the Bristol Community College Foundation, the President’s Council of Charlton Memorial Hospital and the Tiverton Industrial Commission all benefitted from your leadership service.

Tom Rodgers, you exemplified what we know as Mercy—caring, listening, seeing needs, and responding generously to others. You lived your life carrying out a vision of a better world. In love and profound respect, we are honored to bestow upon you posthumously, the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa, from Salve Regina University, with all its attendant rights and privileges, on this fifteenth day of May, 2016.

n These students have completed the VIA Program.

Appearance of a name in the Commencement program is presumptive evidence of graduation, but is not regarded as conclusive. The official Salve Regina University transcript, sealed and signed by the Registrar, is conclusive testimony of the student’s academic record and possession of degree(s) awarded by this institution.

Academic Regalia When universities were taking form in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, they were under the jurisdiction of the Church. Most of those studying were clerks in Holy Orders, monks, or priests. They wore a habit or cloak, to which was attached a cowl or hood. This could be pulled up over the head or thrown back, according to the weather. Gowns were necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings, and hoods served to cover the tonsured head before the use of the skull cap.

Today, the academic costume of cap, gown and hood has taken on a symbolic meaning. Colors and shapes conform to a generally accepted code and indicate the faculty conferring the degree and the kind of degree conferred. Gowns for the bachelor’s degree are worn closed and are distinguished by their long, pointed sleeves. Master’s degree gowns are designed to be worn open. They have very long sleeves, oblong in shape. Gowns for the doctoral degree, usually black, are also designed to be worn open and have velvet panels.

Three velvet bars are stitched to the upper part of the full, bellshaped sleeves.

Hoods are trimmed with a slim strip of velvet to indicate the specific faculty awarding the degree. The colored lining is the official color of the institution conferring the degree. Hoods may be trimmed to represent the following academic areas:

Arts, Letters, Humanities...................White Business Administration ........Light Brown Education ...................................Light Blue Fine Arts ...........................................Brown Musical Arts .........................................Pink Philosophy .................................Dark Blue Science................................Golden Yellow Theology...........................................Scarlet

Honor Cords Students at Salve Regina University who have distinguished themselves through academic performance wear honor cords of these colors: Gold — Summa Cum Laude Blue — Magna Cum Laude White — Cum Laude

The Mace The mace and its bearer represent a custom that dates back to the Middle Ages. From the sixteenth century in England and since colonial days in America, it has become a symbol of office carried by the procession leader. In the academic world, the mace signifies teaching authority.

The Salve Regina University mace was designed by Rhode Island sculptor Paul A. Cavanagh as an octagonal, formalized flower. The staff of ebony represents lignum vitae — the tree of life. A circle of eight rigid geometric forms of silver, peaked with pyramids of lapis lazuli, are representative of the Virtues. The Intellectual and Moral Virtues enable one to lead a fruitful and good life. The extending leaves of blossom deriving from the silver forms are symbolic of one’s development in the world. An inner circle of leaves, in close embrace with the central form, and pistil-like cruciform with crown, suggest one’s development in love of Christ and the cross.

The President’s Medallion The sterling silver medallion worn by the University President at all formal academic functions symbolizes the leadership and authority of the institution’s highest office.

Handcrafted by John Cavanagh, the design is based on the University shield, which symbolizes the commitment of the Sisters of Mercy to Salve Regina University, the dedication to learning by all members of the Salve Regina community, and the unending search for wisdom that flows from the knowledge of the liberal scholar. Each link of the chain is a “Mercy Cross,” with a crown superimposed over the face of each cross.
