5 GRADUATE SCHOOL

Mustafa Al-Adhami is the founder and CEO of Astek Diagnotics, a medical device company building technology for rapid antibiotic sensitivity testing. He is a scientist and inventor focused on developing low-cost solutions for global public health problems. Born and raised in Iraq, he moved to the Baltimore area to attend UMBC, where he obtained an M.S. and Ph.D. in mechanical engineering. Al-Adhami completed his research at UMBC’s CAST lab with Dr. Marc Zupan as his thesis advisor.

In 2019, Al-Adhami won the national Three-Minute Thesis competition sponsored by the Council of Graduate Schools. His winning topic was rapid detection of bacteria in blood. AlAdhami developed a rapid bacterialdetection test that can assess, within an hour, if a patient has an infection. It can also help physicians determine which specific antibiotics should be administered to help fight the infection. Al-Adhami’s device, Jiddu , costs a

fraction of the price of the current antibiotic susceptibility test and takes only an hour to generate testing results. Its goal is to reduce the duration of hospital stays and reduce antibiotic resistance by avoiding unnecessary antibiotic use.

The device is the basis for his company Astek Diagnostics, which started in Al-Adhami’s basement in 2020 and has grown to a team of six at the University of Maryland BioPark. Their first product is expected to receive FDA clearance in 2024.

Al-Adhami was recently honored with the Baltimore Business Journal 's 40 Under 40 award. He lives in Baltimore with his wife and son where they support a variety of charitable causes including nonprofits focused on children’s healthcare and animal welfare.

Since her time at UMBC, Mavronis has continued to be involved with the Sondheim Public Affairs Scholars Program; connecting with scholars, participating in Scholar Selection Day, and helping to build community in the Sondheim Scholar alumni network. Mavronis has also stayed connected to media and communication studies and American Studies, teaching courses and working closely with faculty and staff.

After UMBC, Mavronis earned her M.P.A. with a certification in urban policy and planning from Princeton University’s School of Public and International Affairs. Her work at UMBC and beyond is a shining example of passion and determination.

LEADERSHIP UNIVERSITY LEADERSHIP

Academic Regalia: Caps,

Gowns, Hoods, and Their Meanings

The procession of faculty and staff dressed in academic regalia is one of the most colorful and distinctive elements of the university’s Convocation and Commencement ceremonies. The style of the robe and the color and length of the hood serve to distinguish the academic degree the wearer has earned and the institution from which it was awarded.

The origins of academic dress date back to the 12th and 13th centuries, when universities were taking form. Patterned after monks' robes, the earliest academic robes were made of heavy wool — useful for keeping warm in unheated buildings. The long and colorful hoods worn today probably originally served a similar useful purpose.

In the days of Henry VIII of England, Oxford and Cambridge first began prescribing a definite academic dress and made it a matter of university control even to the extent of its minor details. The assignment of colors to signify certain disciplines was a much later development and was standardized in the United States in the late 19th century.

CAPS

Mortarboards, or “Oxford caps,” trace their history to the square cap with a tuft on top that was awarded to students in the Middle Ages when they completed their courses of study. The mortarboard is always black. Individuals who have earned doctorates may also opt to wear an eight-sided soft tam or beret, after the style of those worn at Cambridge University. The tassel fastened to the middle point of the top of the cap is usually black or, in the case of a doctoral degree, gold.

GOWNS

Prior to the Civil War, students at most American universities wore caps and gowns every day. Today they are used almost exclusively at ceremonial occasions. Some universities, such as Oxford in England, still require their students to wear gowns and hoods every day. The bachelor’s degree gown is the simplest — plain black with pointed sleeves. The master’s degree gown has an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist, and is worn with a hood. The gown for the doctoral degree is the most elaborate, with bell-shaped sleeves marked with three velvet bars and a long, colorful hood. Almost all academic gowns are black, although a number of institutions now have doctoral gowns in their university’s color. UMBC’s doctoral gowns are black and gold.

HOODS

Awarded at graduation to master’s and doctoral degree students, hoods are another distinguishing part of the academic costume. The length of the hood varies based on degree. The master’s hood is 3.5 feet long with a 3-inch side border and the doctoral hood is 4 feet long with a 5-inch-wide border.

Hoods are lined with the official colors of the college or university that conferred the degree, or the college or university at which the wearer serves on the faculty. UMBC’s hoods are lined with black and gold. The hood’s border is outlined in a color that indicates the wearer’s field of study.

There are 25 different approved colors for designation of disciplines in the academic costume. The disciplines and colors most likely to be seen in the faculty procession at UMBC are:

Arts and Humanities White Economics ..................... Copper

Education Light Blue

Engineering Orange Fine Arts ........................ Brown

Library Science Lemon Music Pink

Philosophy..................... Dark Blue

Public Policy

Peacock Blue

Science Golden Yellow

Social Work ................... Citron

61 COMMENCEMENT INFORMATION

Honors

STOLES

The gold stoles worn by graduates denote Honors. Red cords are worn by graduates who have earned a 4.0 grade point average and who have completed at least 60 graded credits at UMBC. Blue cords are worn by graduates who are UMBC Meyerhoff Scholars, high-achieving students who have an interest in pursuing doctoral study in the sciences, mathematics, computer sciences, and engineering, and who are interested in the advancement of minorities in these fields.

HONORS

Honors are based upon coursework taken over the duration of a student’s undergraduate academic career at UMBC. To be eligible for Honors, students must have earned at least 60 graded credits at UMBC (excluding Pass/Fail and Audit grades) with a GPA requirement as follows:

Summa cum laude With highest honor 3.95 – 4.0 GPA

Magna cum laude With high honor 3.75 – 3.9499 GPA

Cum laude With honor 3.5 – 3.7499

While students may be provisionally recognized with Honors at the time of the Commencement ceremony and in the Commencement program, official determination of Honors occurs after the Commencement ceremony, once final semester grades have been submitted and calculated. The university diploma and an official final transcript are the only documents that officially award Honors at the time the degree is conferred by the university.

Ceremonial Artifacts

UMBC CEREMONIAL MACE

UMBC did not have a mace of its own until 1986, 20 years after its founding. Commissioned by the Alumni Association, it was presented at the 17th Commencement ceremony on June 8, 1986, in honor of John W. Dorsey, who served as UMBC chancellor from 1977 to 1986. It is hand-carved mahogany with a solid brass seal, and was crafted by local artist Charles Strauss. It is carried by the Grand Marshal, who is the current president of the Faculty Senate.

UMBC CEREMONIAL BATONS

The Commencement batons, carried by the Students’, Faculty, Staff, and Graduate School Marshals, are gifts from the Alumni Association in honor of UMBC’s 40th anniversary. Constructed of walnut, with the UMBC seal in brass on the top, the batons were designed to complement the mace carried by the Grand Marshal.

Land Acknowledgement Statement

UMBC was established upon the land of the Piscataway and Susquehannock peoples. Over time, citizens of many more Indigenous nations have come to reside in this region. We humbly offer our respect to all past, present, and future Indigenous people connected to this place.

Program and Diplomas

Attendance at the university’s Commencement ceremony is voluntary. This program lists the names of degree candidates who have applied for graduation and have met all eligibility requirements. A degree candidate who did not submit their application for graduation prior to the posted deadline may not be listed in this program. The university reserves the right to add or withdraw names from this program prior to printing. The list of degree candidates appearing in this program or in attendance at the Commencement ceremony does not signify that a degree has been, or will be, conferred. Official graduation determination occurs after the Commencement ceremony and includes final semester grades. The university diploma and an official transcript are the only documents providing authentic testimony to the conferring of a degree.

Diplomas are not distributed at the ceremony. Diplomas will be mailed to the student’s mailing address four to six weeks after degrees are awarded. Undergraduates who anticipate a change of address should verify/update their mailing address in their UMBC account.
