JOSE RENE “J.R.” MARTINEZ

Bestselling Author, U.S. Army Veteran, and Motivational Speaker

While on routine patrol in Iraq in 2003 as a 19-year-old army infantryman, J.R. Martinez’s Humvee, loaded with explosives, hit an anti-tank mine. Three other soldiers traveling in the vehicle were ejected; Martinez was trapped inside. He survived, yet the accident left him with third-degree burns to more than 34 percent of his body, including face, hands, and torso.

At one point in his convalescence—a total of 34 surgeries over several years—a nurse at the hospital recommended he meet with another burn patient who was struggling to cope after having just seen his burned body for the first time. Martinez recalls this pivotal moment: “After a brief visit with the young man, I realized I had made a positive impact and helped him in some small way.” This realization provided Martinez with a sense of purpose. He began to visit wounded survivors every day, sharing his story and listening to theirs. He found that in helping others find solace, he found it himself, learning firsthand that “inspiration is often a two-way street.”

Born in Louisiana and raised by a single mother from El Salvador, Jose Rene Martinez spent his junior and high school years in Hope, Arkansas. His accident would be the catalyst for him to spread the spirit of that town’s name around the globe, as a motivational speaker, bestselling author, and advocate for veterans and burn survivors.

Martinez has shared his message of resilience and optimism with troops at multiple bases, as well as with global audiences at major organizations including the Clinton Global Initiative; the Red Cross; and dozens of universities, nonprofits, and Fortune 500 companies.

Martinez’s exuberance, indomitable spirit, and inexhaustible passion found other outlets.

Following his lengthy recovery, in 2008 he landed a role on the ABC soap opera “All My Children,” playing a character who was also an injured Iraq War veteran. He later starred in the syndicated series “SAF3.”

In 2011 he was invited to appear on the reality show “Dancing With the Stars,” and together with his talented partner, Karina Smirnoff, they were named champions for Season 13. The achievement provided Martinez with a new platform, introduced him to an expansive world of new fans, and earned him an invitation to serve as Grand Marshal of the 2012 Rose Bowl Parade.

Martinez took some time away from the stage and spotlight to write his first book, “Full of Heart: My Story of Survival, Strength,

and Spirit,” detailing how he was able to take his personal tragedy and turn it into an inspiration for others. The memoir, released in 2012, reached The New York Times Best Sellers list.

An energetic believer in giving back, Martinez serves as spokesperson for a wide array of nonprofit organizations, including the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors, Glasswing International, A Call to Men, and debra of America.

In addition to his speaking and advocacy, Martinez shares his captivating and inspirational story as a way to show others the value of making the most of every situation. He narrated the CNN documentary series “In America: Vets Wanted,” and has been featured on various shows, such as “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” “60 Minutes,” “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “The View,” “The Tonight Show,” “Good Morning America,” and “CBS Nightly News.” He has also been featured in The New York Times, Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, FOX, HLN, and Univision. He has appeared on the cover of People magazine in its annual “Sexiest Man Alive” issue and was named one of its “Most Intriguing People” of 2011.

In May 2020 he launched his podcast, “Rebirth with J.R. Martinez,” an homage to reinvention and the spirit of human resilience. In each episode, with his effervescence, quick wit, and curious nature, he takes listeners on a journey through conversations that explore what defines us, the moments that changed us forever, and the hope that propels us forward.

Martinez married his wife and best friend, Diana, and the couple lives in Austin, Texas, with their children, Lauryn Anabelle and Leo. Martinez remains an active voice for change. His story is unique, but his message is universal—a person’s path in life is defined by their own ability to adapt and overcome.

For his continued efforts to inspire others by focusing on resilience, optimism, and the importance of community and support systems, the University of Miami is proud to welcome J.R. Martinez as commencement speaker.

The M ac e 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.

Ac adem i c Hon or s a n d R e ga lia

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 Joseph J. Echevarria 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.

Th e M usic of t he C e re m on y 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. “University of Miami 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 and written by Brian Balmages, M.M. ’00, in 2016.
