27 COMMENCEMENTnformation
The History of the Mace The mace, generally made of wood and clad in metal, was used as a weapon during Ithe Middle Ages. Later, as more powerful military arms were developed, the mace became a symbol of authority.
During the 12th century, guards of the English and French kings were the first to bear ceremonial maces. The tradition grew, and by the end of the 16th century the mace was used by officials in cities and towns throughout England. Today, the ceremonial mace is carried in the British Houses of Parliament, before ecclesiastical dignitaries and in university convocations.
The Florida Atlantic University mace carried in today’s commencement procession by the University Marshal was designed and handcrafted by FAU Art Professor William Lattimer. It is made of mahogany and silver. The carved staff encircled with silver rings is topped by a silver owl with outspread wings. The design signifies the dignity, determination and wisdom of FAU’s mascot, the burrowing owl.
Baccalaureate Degrees of Distinction Florida Atlantic University recognizes superior academic performance by granting baccalaureate degrees of distinction on the recommendation of faculty to students who have earned at least 45 credits at FAU with grade point averages (GPA) as follows:
Cum Laude for a GPA at FAU of at least 3.50, indicated herein by *
Magna Cum Laude for a GPA at FAU of at least 3.70, indicated herein by **
Summa Cum Laude for a GPA at FAU of at least 3.90, indicated herein by ***
The awarding of degrees and honors to the candidates named in this program is contingent upon the satisfactory completion of appropriate requirements by each candidate. The listing of students’ names in this program in no way implies or ensures their graduation or the awarding of honors.
A Note on Photography In order to maintain an orderly and dignified ceremony, one that our graduates can remember with pride and enjoyment, guests are requested to remain seated during the entire ceremony and recessional and to refrain from taking pictures of the candidates until after the exercises are completed.
The University has contracted with GradImages™ to take full-color, close-up photographs of all graduates during the ceremony. Graduates will be contacted after the ceremony about purchasing the photographs. GradImages™, 3490 Martin Hurst Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32312, 800-261-2576, www.gradimages.com.
Your cooperation will ensure that the commencement exercises will run smoothly and that the ceremony itself will be a fitting occasion to mark this significant milestone in the lives of our graduates.
28 academicegalia
Lending color to the pageantry of the commencement ceremony are the academic robes and hoods worn by the faculty and delegates. This regalia dates to medieval times, whenR it served a functional as well as an ornamental role, separating learned men from other groups and offering warmth and protection.
In late 19th-century America, a conference was held by representatives of colleges and universities to bring more order to the custom of academic dress. Since that time, periodic conferences have taken place to revise or reconfirm existing practices.
Here at FAU, holders of the bachelor’s degree wear navy blue robes embroidered with the FAU mark. The color of the tassel indicates the student’s college (see listing below). Holders of the master’s degree wear black robes embroidered with the FAU mark and hoods lined with the colors of the University, blue and red, and trimmed with the color of the student’s college (see listing below).
Holders of the doctoral degree wear custom-designed FAU regalia. The black robes have panels and sleeve chevrons in blue velvet outlined in red piping. The doctoral hoods are lined with the colors of the University, blue and red, and trimmed with the color of the doctoral degree. Holders of degrees from foreign universities or religious orders wear the entire academic costumes as decreed by the conferring institutions.
President John Kelly wears presidential regalia. The four chevrons on the sleeve of his robe are used only by university presidents. Members of the FAU Board of Trustees wear regalia with the University’s seal and colors, blue and red.
Colors found on the students’ hoods and tassels represent FAU’s colleges: Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters...... White College of Business...... Drab College of Education...... Light Blue College of Engineering and Computer Science...... Orange Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College...... White Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine...... Kelly Green Christine E.

29 UNIVERSITYistory
Florida Atlantic University, created in 1961 by act of the Florida Legislature, went into operation in 1964 as one of the first universities in the nation serving upper-division and graduateH students exclusively. The University was dedicated on October 25, 1964, by President Lyndon B. Johnson, becoming one of the few American institutions of higher learning to be so honored by a sitting President of the United States. Twenty years later, in 1984, FAU became a four-year university when the first freshman class was admitted.
Today, the University is serving more than 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students on sites throughout its six-county service region in southeast Florida, where its annual economic impact is $6.3 billion. More than 175,000 individuals are now FAU alumni.
The University is organized into 10 colleges: the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, the College of Business, the College of Education, the College of Engineering and Computer Science, the Graduate College, the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College, the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine, the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing, the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science and the College of Social Work and Criminal Justice.
FAU has fully funded Eminent Scholar Chairs in academic areas that include engineering, business, community education, the arts, social science, nursing, marine biology, philosophy, Holocaust studies, Judaic studies, brain science and growth management.
Playing an important part in furthering the mission of the University are a number of centers and institutes dedicated to specific academic or research pursuits. For example, FAU is the home of the Southeast National Marine Renewable Energy Center, a federally funded research facility that is developing technology to generate energy by harnessing the power of Florida’s offshore ocean currents. FAU’s Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, in collaboration with the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science and the College of Engineering and Computer Science, is at the forefront of the discovery of medicines from deep-sea marine organisms, as well as ocean exploration, conservation and education initiatives. FAU’s S.E. Wimberly Library is the home of one of the nation’s finest, most comprehensive collections of historical documents relating to the birth of American democracy—the Marvin and Sybil Weiner Spirit of America Collection.
FAU has entered into joint research and education agreements with two of the premier scientific research organizations in the world: the Scripps Research Institute and the Max Planck Society. Additionally, the University has active partnerships with the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Research Institute—a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center—and the Smithsonian Marine Station at Fort Pierce.
One of Florida’s 12 public universities, FAU is committed to serving the educational needs of persons of retirement age through non-credit courses offered by the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, which is believed to be the largest and most successful organization of its kind in the United States.
