ACADEMIC REGALIA
Lending color to the pageantry of the academic procession are the academic robes and hoods worn by the administration and faculty. Patterned from medieval university customs, today’s academic regalia remain relevant and meaningful in reflecting the scholastic achievement and study discipline of its wearer. Colors are traditional and associated with different disciplines as seen in the trimmings of Doctoral gowns and the edging of their hoods and in the tassels of caps worn by undergraduate candidates.
A gown worn fastened at the top and featuring long, pointed sleeves is worn by those holding a Bachelor’s Degree. The Master’s gown has long chiseled sleeves with a slit near the upper part of the arm. The Doctoral gown is faced with a broad strip of velvet and has crossbars of velvet on each sleeve. The bars may be of black velvet or of colored velvet indicative of the degree’s discipline and consistent with the edging of the hood.
Hoods are worn by those holding graduate degrees. The Doctoral hood is longer and more elaborate than the Master’s hood. Each faculty member wears the colors of his or her alma mater. The distinction should be made that the edging of the hood is in colors representing the wearer’s discipline, but the lining of the hood is in colors representing the wearer’s alma mater.
The colored tassels on the caps of the undergraduate candidates indicate the candidate’s degree. Graduate candidates for degrees usually wear black tassels, although the Doctoral cap may have its tassel of gold thread. At the time the Associate or Bachelor’s Degree is conferred, the tassel is changed from the right to the left. Thereafter, it remains off the left side of the cap.
The color of the edging of the hoods worn by the faculty denotes the fields of specialization as follows:

THE MACE
With origins in the Middle Ages, the mace is an ornamental staff which symbolizes the authority of the College’s academic leader.
The Indian River State College mace was created from native black walnut from northwestern Pennsylvania and is adorned with a bronze emblem that perfectly reproduces the IRSC seal. Commissioned by the Indian River State College District Board of Trustees in 2007, the woodwork was crafted by the late David A. VanCise, Master Instructor, Industrial Technology Department. The mace was carved on a lathe and hand finished. The black walnut stand that cradles the mace is lined with a felt protective cover to prevent any scratching or scarring of the wood.
