UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA TAMPA | ST. PETERSBURG 1

On behalf of the University of South Florida Board of Trustees, our faculty and staff, and hundreds of thousands of alumni across the globe, I congratulate you and extend a warm welcome into the alumni family.

Today reflects years of discipline, persistence and belief in what you could achieve. It also marks the moment when everything you have built begins to take on new meaning.

This milestone belongs not only to you, but also to the family members, friends and mentors who supported you along the way.

Whether they are seated nearby or celebrating from afar, they share in what you have accomplished and are cheering for you as they think about what comes next. Take a moment to thank them as they celebrate you.

The degree you are earning today comes from a university recognized among the nation’s top institutions and that is a member of the Association of American Universities, a prestigious group of 71 leading research universities in the United States and Canada. USF is the first public university in Florida to be invited to join the AAU in nearly 40 years and is one of only two institutions from the State University System of Florida to hold this distinction.

That AAU membership reflects the strength of this university and the expectations that come with it. It signals that you are prepared not only to succeed, but to contribute in meaningful ways. What matters most now is not the distinction of the degree. It is how you choose to use it.

You leave USF with more than knowledge. You leave with the ability to think critically, adapt to change and solve problems that do not yet have clear answers. Those are the skills that will define your impact.

The world needs people who are ready to build, to lead and to step forward with purpose. That is what you are prepared to do.

Wherever your path leads, into your career, advanced study or new ventures, you carry both opportunity and responsibility.

What you do next will shape not only your future, but also the communities you will serve and the many who will benefit from your wisdom and compassion.

We all look forward to seeing what you accomplish. Stay connected with your university, with your fellow alumni and with the community you helped build here. Your relationship with the University of South Florida does not end today. It continues as part of a lifelong network of Bulls making an impact around the world.

As always, Go Bulls.

THE SYMBOLS OF LEARNING

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 STOLE — The stole is made available to students who are members of university honors societies. International students may choose to wear a special stole honoring their home country. The colors of their stole 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 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 COLORS — In regalia, academic disciplines are noted by color.

These colors can be found on undergraduate and master’s tassels and on master’s and doctoral hoods on the velvet edging.

• Apricot — College of Nursing • Blue (light) — College of Education • Brown — College of Design, Art and Performance • Citron — Social Work • Drab — Muma College of Business • Kelly Green — Morsani College of Medicine • Lime — Bellini College of Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity and Computing

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.

• Olive — Taneja College of Pharmacy • Orange — College of Engineering • Ph.D. Blue — Doctor of Philosophy (hood only) • Pink — Music • Rhodes — Audiology (hood only) • Salmon — College of Public Health • Science Gold — College of Arts and Sciences Master of Public Administration, Master of Science, Master of Urban and Regional Planning, and Bachelor of Science; College of Behavioral and Community Sciences Master of Science and Bachelor of Science; College of Graduate Studies; College of Marine Science • Teal — Physical Therapy (hood only) • Violet — Architecture

THE MEDALLION — The medallion worn by candidates for the bachelor’s degree identifies those graduating with honors based upon GPA.

• White — College of Arts and Sciences Master of Arts and Bachelor of Arts; College of Behavioral and Community Sciences Master of Arts and Bachelor of Arts; Patel College of Global Sustainability; Office of Undergraduate Studies
