About The Speaker OMAR GOFF

Alumnus/End-to-End Commercial Leader, Head & Shoulders Omar Goff is the End-to-End Commercial Leader for Head & Shoulders, North America, where he drives growth for one of the world’s most recognized consumer brands. Known as a transformational operator and culture-driven brand builder, he specializes in creating momentum at the intersection of innovation, commerce, and community impact.

Previously, Goff served as President of Mielle, where he led one of the fastestgrowing textured haircare brands into its next era under Procter & Gamble.

Under his leadership, Mielle launched its first-ever national television campaign, secured a historic partnership with the Women's National Basketball Association, expanded into a groundbreaking collaboration with the National Football League, and modernized its media and go-to-market strategy to deliver sustained growth.

With more than 20 years at Procter & Gamble, Goff’s career spans both operational mastery and brand reinvention. He began in Product Supply and Purchasing, delivering over $1 billion in cost savings and $100 million in cash improvement globally. He later transitioned into Brand Management, where he helped propel Old Spice into the Billion Dollar Brand Club and architected its multicultural growth strategy.

Goff is the brand leader behind Old Spice’s longest-running and award-winning campaign, Men Have Skin Too, starring Deon Cole, and forged high-impact partnerships with Kevin Hart and his LOL Network. These breakthrough collaborations reshaped representation in men’s grooming fueled by intentional resonance with Black men.

His leadership has earned him recognition as an Ebony Power 100 honoree in the Business Disruptor category. He is also an Ad Color Award recipient and has earned Effie, D&AD, Clio, and ANA Multicultural Excellence honors. A respected thought leader, Goff has shared his perspective as a featured speaker at Harvard Business School, reinforcing his reputation as a leader who blends strategic rigor with cultural intuition.

Goff graduated Summa Cum Laude from the FAMU School of Business and Industry (SBI). Grounded in the SBI motto of his alma mater, “No excuse is acceptable. No amount of effort is adequate unless it is effective,” Goff leads with urgency, accountability, and an unwavering belief that brands have both the power and responsibility to create economic opportunity while delivering sustained top- and bottom-line growth.

The Academic Attire The academic attire, which makes an inaugural procession colorful, is as old as universities. The attire represents eight centuries of a continuous tradition; it is not a modern revival of medieval customs. It goes back to the days when students were “clerks” – that is, members of the minor clergy – and wore monkish gowns and hoods. In those days of unheated study halls and garret sleeping quarters, the hoods served a very practical purpose. When the hood was pulled over the head, the “tippet,” a sort of hollow tail, served as a convenient pocket. Today, the hood is only an adornment.

The mortarboard, which seems to have evolved from the square biretta of Renaissance churchmen, came into use after the hood had ceased to be worn on the head. The tassel on the mortarboard may be either black or the “color of the faculty” – as described below; or for the holder of a doctorate degree, it may be of gold.

Many universities replace the mortarboard with their own distinctive headgear.

Both the gown and the hood indicate the degree held by the wearer. The gown for the bachelor’s degree has pointed sleeves. Bachelor’s hoods have only recently become a part of the attire in the United States. In the master’s gown, the wearer’s arm projects from the sleeve at the elbow, or, in the more modern gowns, at the wrist, and the lower part of the sleeve, ending in another tippet, dangles below the arm. The doctor’s gown has bell-shaped sleeves. Bachelor’s and master’s gowns have no trimmings, but the doctor’s gown is faced down the front with velvet and has three velvet cross-bars on each sleeve. This velvet may be either black or the color of the faculty members’ discipline.

Graduates of some institutions, on all continents, may wear gowns in the color of the university that awarded their degree, for instance, orange and green for Florida A&M University. In the United States, the hood is edged with velvet in the color of the faculty and lined with the colors of the university conferring the degree.

For all academic purposes, trimmings of the doctor’s gowns, edgings of hoods and tassels of caps, adhere to the colors for the different subjects as indicated: College of Agriculture and Food Sciences - Maize; College of Education - Light Blue; FAMU-FSU College of Engineering - Orange; College of Law - Purple; College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Forest Green; College of Science and Technology - Bright Gold; College of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities - White; School of Allied Health Sciences - Olive; School of Architecture and Engineering Technology Lilac; School of Business and Industry - Drab; School of Journalism and Graphic Communication - Crimson; School of Nursing - Apricot; School of the Environment - Light Gold; Doctor of Philosophy - Royal Blue; Doctor of Physical Therapy – Sage Green; Doctor of Public Health - Salmon

The Ceremonial Mace Symbolizing the authority vested in the president by the University’s governing body, the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University Ceremonial Mace is made of bright gold plated bronze and mahogany wood. The shaft of the mace bearing the seal of the University is made of bright gold plated bronze, double-sided medal surrounded with orange and emerald green Swarovski crystals around the outer edge upon a six inch diameter chrome plated polished mace head with clear Swarovski crystals around the circumference.

Ten gold plated engraved nameplates featuring the names of each university president are mounted on a 2-inch diameter mahogany baton. A 1.5 inch mahogany wood staff with wood and chrome plated polished aluminum turnings separates the rest of the baton from its base. The baton is made of mahogany, which symbolizes the trees of knowledge, which adorn the campus of the University. The overall length of the mace is 30 inches long. At the very base of the mace is a gold plated brass “Rattler”, the symbol of the University. Its coiled posture represents the fact that although the dark clouds may surround the horizon, the “Rattler” will strike, strike, and strike again!

The Presidential Medallion and Chain of Office Dating to medieval times, the Presidential Medallion and Chain of Office signify the symbol of authority vested in the President as head of the University. The current chain is approximately 36 inches long and is made of gold plated bronze. It features ten 1-3/4 inch gold plated sculpted engravings of each president from 1887 to the present. Under each sculpted model are ten banner link engravings inscribed with the names of each president and his term of office. At the base of the chain is the Presidential Medallion, which features the seal of the University.
