University of South Florida

T

he University of South Florida, founded in 1956, is dedicated to empowering students to maximize their potential for lifelong success.

USF is situated in the vibrant and diverse Tampa Bay region, with campuses in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Sarasota-Manatee. Together these three campuses serve more than 50,000 students and offer over 180 majors and concentrations leading to undergraduate, graduate, specialist and doctoral degrees.

USF is the nation’s fastest-rising public university, moving from 88th in 2015 to 44th in U.S. News and World Report’s 2019 rankings. Also this year, USF earned a Higher Education Excellence in Diversity Award, which recognizes U.S. colleges and universities that demonstrate an outstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion. Nearly 52 percent of full-time USF students identify as non-white, and in recent years, USF has received national recognition for eliminating the graduation rate gap by race, ethnicity and socioeconomic status, a rare achievement in higher education.

USF’s focus on student success also resulted in the 2019 American Council on Education/Fidelity Investments Award for Institutional Transformation. Beginning in 2010, USF Tampa launched a student success movement to elevate student retention and graduation rates. The addition of predictive analytics and case management by 2017 accelerated student performance, raising USF’s

six-year graduation rate from 51 to 73 percent between 2010 and 2018.

High-impact, global research also is central to USF’s mission as the state’s only metropolitan Preeminent Research University, as designated by the Florida Board of Governors. In 2018, USF was ranked among the top 25 public universities for research expenditures, and 42nd in the nation overall among public and private universities. With total research expenditures of $568 million in 2016-17, USF is at the forefront of cutting-edge research in medicine, science, engineering, the arts and more.

USF’s commitment to innovation and invention has a significant economic impact. The university’s innovation and economic development efforts generate more than $582 million in statewide impact each year, an increase of more than 45 percent over the last three years. Innovation efforts sustain more than 4,000 jobs and return more than $71 million in tax revenue to local, state and federal coffers. USF ranks seventh among public research universities and 16th among all universities worldwide in generating new patents. The ranking places USF in rare company among the more than 1,000 academic institutions generating new, novel and useful inventions granted intellectual property protection from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

USF has an overall annual economic impact of $4.4 billion.

The Symbols of Higher Education

M

odern academic regalia evolved from the kinds of apparel worn by monks and students in the 11th and 12th centuries to keep warm in the medieval castles and halls in which they studied. Academic life as we know it today began in the Middle Ages — first in the church, then in the guilds. The teaching guild was the Guild of the Master of Arts, and the Bachelor was the apprentice of the Master.

Their dress was the outward sign of stature and responsibility.

Academic regalia was thus a visible manifestation — in color, pattern and design — that unified those of common discipline and like purpose. In later centuries, to preserve the regalia’s dignity and meaning, universities set rules of academic dress.

American universities agreed on a definite system in 1895, establishing a code of approved attire. In 1932, the American Council on Education revised this code, which, for the most part, governs the style of academic dress today. The principal features of academic dress are three: the gown, the cap and the hood.

THE GOWN — The gown has become symbolic of the democracy of scholarship, for it completely covers any dress of rank or social standing. The sleeves of the gown indicate the level of the degree held by the wearer. A long, pointed sleeve indicates the bachelor’s degree. The master’s gown has an

oblong sleeve cut in an arc, with a slit at either the upper arm or wrist. The USF doctor’s gown has bell-shaped sleeves and three black bars on the sleeve. The doctoral robe also has the seal of the university on the velvet facing.

THE CAP— The freed slave in ancient Rome won the privilege of wearing a cap, and so the academic cap is a sign of the freedom of scholarship and the responsibility and dignity with which scholarship endows the wearer. Old poetry records the cap of scholarship as a square symbolizing the book, although other authorities claim that it is a mortar board, the symbol of the masons, a privileged guild. The color of the tassel on the cap denotes the discipline. The tassels on the caps (mortar boards) worn by the faculty may be black or a color indicating the degree. Those who hold a doctoral degree may wear a gold tassel. It is traditional for degree candidates to wear their tassels on the right and for those holding degrees to wear them on the left. Graduates transfer their tassels to the left after conferring of the degrees by the President.

THE MACE — The USF mace is a ceremonial staff similar to those used by many institutions of higher learning to show the right to grant degrees to graduates. The mace is used during all Commencement ceremonies and is carried by the

President of the Faculty Senate. Our mace includes a gold pine cone at its top to represent growth and continuity. Eight silver semicircles, which support the pine cone, stand for the eight colleges in existence at USF when the mace was commissioned in 1998. When not in use, today’s mace is displayed in the foyer of the President’s office. The original university mace is on display in the Alumni Center.

THE MEDALLION — The medallion worn by candidates for the bachelor’s degree identify those graduating with honors based upon GPA. THE SASH — The golden-colored sash is made available to students who are members of university honors societies. The sash is embroidered with the university seal and the student’s honors society. International students may choose to wear a special sash honoring their home country. The colors of their sash reflect the colors of their native flags.

THE HOOD — The hoods are lined with the official colors of the institution conferring the degree. They are edged and bound with velvet of the color appropriate for the degree. At USF, the lining of the hood is green with a gold chevron, representing the university’s colors.

THE COLORS — In regalia, academic disciplines are noted by color. These colors can be found on undergraduate and masters tassels and on master and doctorate hoods on the velvet edging.
