Commencement Speaker

BENJAMIN KIRTMAN

William R. Middelthon III Endowed Chair of Earth Sciences Director, NOAA Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies Deputy Director, Frost Institute for Data Science and Computing

The task was laborious, but young Ben Kirtman never complained. Each time the basement of his family’s Southern California home flooded after a torrential downpour, he was responsible for pumping out the water—a duty that sometimes kept him up all night. He literally had to babysit the pump, sleeping in the nearby family room and setting the alarm to wake up every half hour to tend to the balky machine.

“There were times of the year when I slept day after day in that basement, keeping a watchful eye on that pump,” he recalled.

Those days are long gone, but they were life-changing moments that not only kindled Kirtman’s fascination with weather and climate but also determined his storied academic and career path.

A professor of atmospheric sciences and the William R. Middelthon III Chair of Earth Sciences at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, Kirtman arrived at the University in 2007 and quickly launched its renowned climate modeling initiatives, which aim to predict how the ocean, atmosphere, and land interact to produce our climate days—and even decades—in advance.

And his modeling has proved as accurate and precise as a champion Olympic archer’s aim.

“The U has the people and the infrastructure needed to develop and fine-tune sophisticated predictive systems,” he said in a 2021 Miami magazine interview. “Together, we’re trying to address climate-related problems—and produce viable solutions—so that the next generation can look forward to a better, healthier environment. That’s our responsibility: to leave the planet better than we found it.”

Among his myriad accomplishments, he pooled the powerful resources of the Rosenstiel School with such entities as NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to create a forecast model capable of predicting environmental hazards up to 30 days in advance. The Subseasonal Experiment, or SubX, accurately predicted the severe cold wave that hit the midwestern United States and eastern Canada in early 2019; the Fourth of July heat wave that enveloped Alaska later that year; and the extreme rainfall from Tropical Storm Isaias that drenched the Caribbean and U.S. East Coast in the summer of 2020. It also forecasted the 2021 collapse of the Arctic polar vortex a month in advance, bringing advance warning of freezing temperatures, snow, and ice to Texas and beyond.

Kirtman, who earned his Ph.D. from the University of MarylandCollege Park in 1992, received a trio of grants last year totaling more than $3 million from the National Science Foundation and NOAA that allow him to collaborate with Rosenstiel School colleagues and former students across the country to improve prediction tools for extreme

weather and climate events. One will advance our understanding of and ability to predict the impacts of El Niño, a warming of the ocean surface that dramatically affects rainfall, temperature, and wind across the world. Another will improve forecasts that first responders in California rely on to prepare for and respond to wildfires. And the third will focus on flooding along the eastern coast of the U.S., providing local communities with detailed, daily, and long-term flood predictions.

Kirtman’s imprint on the University is as far-reaching. He also serves as director of the Rosenstiel School’s NOAA Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS), which unites 10 partner universities to provide research opportunities, educational training, and outreach to students and postdoctoral scientists involved in NOAAfunded research. Under his leadership, the University received renewed federal funding four years ago to host CIMAS. The award of up to $310 million over five years comes with the potential for renewal for another five years based on successful performance.

Kirtman, who is also deputy director of the University’s Frost Institute for Data Science and Computing, where he leads the Earth Systems Science program, has received many honors over his career. He was elected a fellow of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) in 2018 and a fellow of the American Geophysical Union in 2023.

Internationally, Kirtman has assumed a leadership role in the World Climate Research Programme’s seasonal-to-interannual prediction activities and was a coordinating lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change working group one—the Scientific Basis.

The former executive editor of Climate Dynamics, he was an associate editor of the American Geophysical Union’s Journal of Geophysical Research, is an editor of the AMS journal Weather and Forecasting, and is author or co-author of more than 220 peer-reviewed papers focused on understanding and predicting climate variability on time scales from days to decades.

For his dedication to addressing climate-related problems with innovative modeling solutions—and ensuring a better, healthier environment for our future—the University of Miami is proud to welcome Benjamin Kirtman as commencement speaker.

The Great Seal of the University of Miami

The Great Seal of the University of Miami symbolizes exceptional scholarship, a limitless quest for knowledge, and an abiding commitment to service shared by University faculty, staff, and students. The Great Seal includes a stylized sun and palm tree, as well as a shield with the traditional symbols of education—a key, a book, and a torch. The key signifies the unlocking, discovery, or reevaluation

of learning and knowledge. The book holds the Latin words for discovery, preservation, and dissemination of knowledge. And, the torch symbolizes the spread and dissemination of learning. Below the shield is the University’s Latin motto, from the Book of Esdras, Magna Est Veritas: Great Is Truth.

The Mace

The academic mace, an enduring symbol of institutional authority and prestige, is a vestige from prehistoric times. First used as a battle weapon, the mace evolved into a ceremonial staff carried in processions of royalty, magistrates, and church or university officials.

The University of Miami’s current mace, which dates back to 1986, was sculpted by former art professor William Ward. He chose a contemporary design, one that reflects the University’s timelessness and perpetual growth from a young institution to one of national prominence. The clean lines and polished silver surface are elegant; dignified; and reflective of colors, textures, and forms in the everchanging environment. Ward indicated that timelessness is further represented by the mace’s geometric design. Rather than employing symbols like books, candles, or globes, he noted that these geometric shapes are not tied to fad or style but are an integral part of our world.

“There are obvious relationships to mathematics and the sciences, and as the mace is rotated, some of the planes at the top resemble letters. Its complexity is like the unfolding plot of a good story,” Ward said.

The University of Miami’s mace serves as a symbolic weapon to protect the ideals of truth, justice, and learning. During the commencement ceremony, it is carried at the head of the academic procession by the grand marshal, whose symbolic duty is the protection of the University, its people, and its processes.

In 2019, staff and faculty members in the Department of Theatre Arts performed preservation and restoration work on the mace, crafting a new base and reviving the original sheen so that, after decades of use, the mace continues to play its role in the University’s commencement ceremonies.

The University of Miami Presidential Chair

The University of Miami Presidential Chair, or cathedra, took its place in 2016 on the commencement stage as a symbol of the Office of the President. Traditionally representing the seat of learning, the cathedra was designed and crafted by master furniture maker Austin Matheson, an adjunct professor in the School of Architecture, whose family history in South Florida predates the University’s 1925 founding.

Matheson carved and joined what appear to be the seamless pieces of the chair from a single slab of highly prized and once-abundant Cuban mahogany. It was salvaged from a tree felled by a hurricane in nearby Coconut Grove. The fluidity of his design represents the idea that “We Are One U,” while his use of a contemporary style and a few traditional

flourishes represent the University’s rich past and promising future. “The chair is unique. It has no precedent. It stands alone,” Matheson said.

Etched by laser, the Great Seal of the University of Miami is prominently displayed on the splat, or back, of the chair. More subtly, twin silhouettes of an ibis head, with its graceful beak, adorn each side of the crest rail. Known for its invincible spirit when hurricanes approach, the marsh bird has been the school mascot since the University opened its doors, just a month after the hurricane of 1926 devastated Miami. Like the chair, the ibis continues to be a symbol of our resilience and renewal as we approach our new century.

Academic Honors and Regalia

The ceremonies of commencement immerse us in the rich tradition of academic honors and dress that reaches back to the early days of the world’s oldest universities.

The University of Miami awards degrees in three basic divisions—the doctorate, master’s, and baccalaureate—which can be traced to medieval times. The student receiving a “first degree in arts” was crowned with a wreath of laurel berries, hence “baccalaureate” and “bachelor.” The master’s degree was a license to teach (Licentia docendi), so the “master” was an appropriate title. The doctor was even better qualified to teach, for this degree required advanced study, independent research, and defense of a dissertation. These standards still apply to the doctorate, except for those conferred honoris causa (as honorary degrees) for meritorious service in public or private endeavor.

Some degrees are awarded with special recognition. For those who have achieved appropriate standards in their work, the words cum laude (with praise), magna cum laude (with high praise), and summa cum laude (with highest praise) are used. Students who have met formal scholarly demands, including both specified courses and high overall grade averages, may graduate with “General Honors.” These achievements are recorded on diplomas and in official transcripts.

From medieval practice, academic dress has three items: cap, gown, and hood. In reviving the use of these items for the United States, an intercollegiate commission in 1895 drafted a code that most universities,

including the University of Miami, follow.

For all degrees, the mortarboard is the traditional cap. The tassel may be gold for a doctor or may indicate the field of study.

The bachelor’s gown is black with long, pointed, open sleeves. The master’s gown is black with a long, closed sleeve hanging below the elbow. The doctor’s gown is black and is distinguished by three bars of velvet on a full sleeve.

The academic hood is the identifying symbol of the degree. Its length indicates which degree it represents: three feet for the baccalaureate, three-and-a-half for the master’s, and four for the doctorate. The lining indicates the college or university that awarded the degree. University of Miami hoods are lined in orange, green, and white. The color of the velvet band represents the academic discipline. The most frequently seen colors are white for arts, yellow for science, pink for music, sapphire blue for philosophy, purple for law, scarlet for divinity, green for medicine, light blue for education, drab for business, orange for engineering, violet for architecture, gray for general studies, and apricot for nursing.

President Julio Frenk wears a black robe with four black velvet bars. The fourth chevron indicates this is the presidential regalia. The gown features orange and green piping as well as a doctoral hood lined in orange, green, and white—reflecting the official University of Miami school colors.

The Music of the Ceremony

University of Miami Fanfare

Great universities throughout the country begin their halftime performances with a special fanfare consisting of small portions of their school fight songs and alma mater. The fanfare signals the start of halftime festivities, exciting the crowd and encouraging loyal fans to remain in their seats during the band’s performance.

Following the Miami Hurricane’s National Championship season in 2001-2002, David Lambert, D.M.A. ’05, wrote a similar fanfare for the

University of Miami. “UM Fanfare” was premiered by the University of Miami Band of the Hour during the 2004 Miami Hurricane home football opener versus Florida State University. It has since been performed as a prelude to all Band of the Hour performances and has become a part of the University of Miami’s commencement to announce the opening of the ceremony.

President’s Processional Fanfare

Commencement ceremonies are rich in history, tradition, and ritual. Over the years, the University of Miami has had a number of talented musicians and composers contribute to that history and tradition. The “President’s Processional Fanfare—Toward Our New Century” was

commissioned by the Phillip and Patricia Frost School of Music for the inauguration of the University of Miami's sixth president, Julio Frenk. Written by Brian Balmages, M.M. ’00, the fanfare premiered on January 29, 2016, at Frenk’s inauguration ceremony.
