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 theMaster 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. special sash honoring their home country. The colors of their sash reflect the colors of their native flags.

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 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.

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

From this day forward, you will carry on that tradition. Wherever your future takes you, you’ll carry with you the distinguished reputation of a world-class university. I personally invite and encourage you to stay connected to your Alma Mater through the USF Alumni Association. Your membership connects you with your fellow Bulls and creates meaningful ways for all of us to: promote and protect USF, share your USF pride, stay connected and make an impact, and help USF succeed.

Take full advantage of your first year complimentary USF Alumni Association membership by getting involved in your local chapter and your college alumni society.

ANDREA PROSPECT OUTSTANDING GRADUATE AWARD The Outstanding Graduate Award, given each semester by the USF Alumni Association, recognizes a graduating senior who embodies leadership, school spirit, community service, character and scholarship. The Summer 2019 award goes to Andrea Prospect, who graduates today with a Bachelor of Science degree from the College of Public Health.

Andrea is graduating one year early and as a King O’Neal 4.0 Scholar. Passionate about serving vulnerable populations, Andrea knew that the University of South Florida was the university for her from the moment she entered campus. Wowed by all of the opportunities for internships and professional development she heard about on her initial campus tour, Andrea knew she had to take advantage of every chance she was given—and she did. While at USF, Andrea has held multiple internships, first as a behavior analyst intern for the Human Development Center, an organization with over 40 years of providing services to adults diagnosed with developmental disabilities. Beyond that, Andrea continued her work of serving others as an assistant instructor with the Special Olympics and working as an intern in financial management with Parallon, a leading business solutions organization specializing in revenue cycle management, payroll and health information management. Currently, Andrea works in Washington, D.C. as a health policy intern for Healthsperien, researching and working on emerging mental health treatments. Andrea credits her hard work and connections made at USF with allowing her to partake in all of these internships.

Despite her time spent off campus, Andrea found plenty of time to make a difference within the campus community. Andrea was heavily involved with the student organization Cru at USF, where she was given the opportunity to plan Week of Welcome activities and events and to mentor first-year students. These type of personal relationships are what Andrea says makes USF, despite all its thousands of students, a special university.

Andrea is a member of the Delta Omega Honorary Society within the College of Public Health and is currently fielding full-time job offers from several of her previous internships. She has plans to also soon begin earning her Master of Public Health.

GLOBAL CITIZENS AWARD The Global Citizen Award recognizes undergraduate students who have had significant global engagement experiences through study abroad, research, community service, internships, and/or coursework..
