Mission Statement The University of Redlands is a private, independent university committed to providing a personalized education that frees students to make enlightened choices.

Redlands emphasizes academic rigor, curricular diversity, and innovative teaching.

Redlands fosters a community of scholars and encourages a pluralistic notion of values by challenging assumptions and stereotypes in both classes and activities. A Redlands education goes beyond training to embrace a reflective understanding of our world; it proceeds from information to insight, from knowledge to meaning.

Welcoming intellectually curious students of diverse religious, ethnic, national and socio-economic backgrounds, the University seeks to develop responsible citizenship as part of a complete education. Redlands encourages a community atmosphere with exceptional opportunity for student leadership and interaction. For working adults, the University offers innovative programs at convenient locations and times.

Redlands blends liberal arts and professional programs, applied and theoretical study, traditional majors and self-designed contracts for graduation. Small classes enable each student to participate in class discussion, to work closely with professors and to receive extensive individual attention. Redlands remains sensitive to contemporary trends in society and challenges students to commit themselves to a lifetime of learning.

About the President Chad Riley

Ralph W. Kuncl, MD PhD

D

r. Ralph W. Kuncl became the 11th president of the University of Redlands in 2012.

In his nine years at the U of R, Dr. K.—as his students most often call him—has worked tirelessly to elevate the University’s stature. He is leading the comprehensive $200 million Forever Yours fundraising campaign to a close and spearheading the development of a University Village adjacent to a new Redlands train station. Under his leadership, the University acquired the San Francisco Theological Seminary in 2019, creating a new Graduate School of Theology and realizing a new U of R campus in the Bay Area.

Throughout the changes and challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Kuncl has led the U of R with resourcefulness and resilience. He is charting a course that endeavors to keep the University community healthy and safe while staying true to the U of R’s mission of delivering a personalized education.

A graduate of Occidental College (A.B.) and the University of Chicago (Ph.D., M.D.), Dr. Kuncl spent his early career at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where he served as a professor of neurology, pathology, and cellular and molecular medicine.

He later was appointed the founding Vice Provost of Undergraduate Education. While at Hopkins, he received international recognition in the study of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease. Before coming to Redlands, he served as a professor of neurology and brain and cognitive sciences, as well as Provost, Executive Vice President, and Chief Research Officer at the University of Rochester.

Dr. K.’s background includes 23 years as a vocal performer in the Baltimore Choral Arts Society. He has performed as both singer and conductor with the University of Redlands choirs and orchestra, notably at Carnegie Hall and in U of R’s annual holiday festival, the Feast of Lights.

Although Dr. Kuncl has announced his intention to leave Redlands, he will remain at the University through June 2021 to facilitate a smooth leadership transition and continue to set the institution up for future success.

Academic Regalia Distinctive academic dress can be traced back to the universities of the Middle Ages. In the early centuries of its existence, the costume was worn as daily garb, and several parts had practical uses. In more recent centuries, its use in complete form has been reserved for special ceremonial occasions.

Of the costume’s three components, the hood is the most interesting. Originally it had three uses: as a head covering, as a shoulder cape, and as a bag in which alms could be collected. It is mentioned as early as 1480 in clerical literature. When large wigs were in vogue in England, the cape part of the hood was split in front and a narrow neckband inserted. The entire cape and hood were allowed to fall back as they do today, and the hood was never restored to its original style.

Black academic robes are appropriate to all degrees and all institutions. Graduates of some schools, however, may elect to wear robe colors adopted by their alma maters—for example, Harvard crimson, Yale blue, Stanford cardinal. Red may be worn for ceremonial purposes, as by a president. Three black stripes on the sleeve denote a doctorate.

There is historical evidence to suggest that the mortarboard originated with the 16th century Protestant reformer John Calvin. The university building where Calvin taught, at the Cathedral Church in Geneva, was not yet completed and was without windows. Accordingly, he designed the hat for his teaching in order to protect his head from the pigeons that cohabited the buildings.

Black tassels are correct for all degrees, but colored tassels also may be worn. Gold metallic tassels may be worn by persons with doctorates and by dignitaries.

Following is a partial list of hood and tassel colors established by the American Council on Education to represent various fields of learning.

The Academic Mace

The first dated record of the ceremonial academic mace goes back to the year 1385 at the University of Vienna. An academic mace is traditionally carried in procession and mounted on stage whenever degrees are granted or when the faculty is assembled in formal academic regalia. The University of Redlands’ mace was presented on behalf of the City of Redlands by Mayor Jon Harrison during the October 20, 2006 convocation, marking the start of the year-long centennial celebration. The names of all Redlands presidents are engraved on solid silver bands around the wooden shaft. The shaft is capped with 60 ounces of solid silver, engraved with the seals of the City of Redlands and the University of Redlands.
