January 21,2016
Dear Graduates:
Congratulations! On this Commencement Day, new and challenging opportunities lie ahead for each of us. As we get ready to pursue advanced degrees or begin our careers, this is a great time to reRect on the Hunter education that has prepared us for exciting futures. However, though we'll be leaving Hunter and entering the next chapter of our lives, this doesn't have to be goodbye. Every year the graduating class presents a Legacy Gift to the College that will represent the class and its unique achievements - and will support the Hunter students of tomorrow. This gift is also an expression of gratitude for the wonderful education we have received - and our first chance to give back to the College that has given us so much. For 146 years, Hunter has been fulfilling its mission of providing an outstanding education to a diverse stu dent body at an affordable price. Both Us. News & World Report and The Princeton Review have consistently given our college high marks in their annual reviews of u.s. postsecondary institutions. These rankings increase the value of your Hunter degree. One of the most effective ways you can help keep your degree valuable is by making an alumni gift, because the rankings are based in part on donor participa tion. Every gift to Hunter, regardless of its size, is essential. The Legacy Gift Committee has asked all graduating seniors to help choose the perfect gift to leave as our special legacy, a gift that will not only symbolize our class but also benefit future students. In response, the current seniors have chosen to raise money for cell phone charging stations, which will surely benefit future classes. We are asking you to add your name to the Class of 20 16 Legacy Gift campaign. Our suggested donation is $20.16, but every gift is important and greatly appreciated. No gifts are too small, and our goal is to have 100% class participation! To contribute online, please visit https:llcommunity.hunter.cuny.edu/legacygift. Checks can be made out to The Hunter College Foundation, with "2016 Legacy Gift" in the memo line, and mailed to The Hunter College Foundation, 695 Park Avenue, Room E1313, New York, NY 10065. Or, simply text "Hunter" [your first and last name} to 20222 to make an automatic donation of $10. We are immensely grateful to you for helping to make the Class of 20 16 Legacy Gift campaign a success.
Best wishes to you in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Legacy Gift Committee
17 Academic Heraldry
The caps, gowns, and hoods worn by participants in these exercises are patterned after the attire of monks in the Middle Ages. Those who have earned the bachelor's degree wear a gown with a semi-stiff yoke, long pleated front, intricate shirring across the shoulders and back and long, pointed sleeves. The holder of the master's degree wears a similar gown, but the sleeve is square and closed at the end with the wearer's forearm coming through a slit near the elbow. Those possessing the doctor's degree wear gowns having broad velvet panels down the front and three velvet bars on the full, round, open sleeves. This velvet trimming may be either black or the color of the field of learning represented by the degree. The hoods, over the shoulders and down the backs of the faculty, reveal the degrees and institutions of the wearers. The velvet binding or edging is distinctive of the subject to which the degree pertains. The lining of the hood, in silk, gives the color or colors of the institution granting the degree. The shortest hood is the bachelor's; the longest and the broadest is the doctor's; and the master's is midway between these in size. There is much duplication in the colors of the colleges; therefore, they will be left unidentified. However, there is a standard color for the subjects.
The most common colors for subjects, including those used at Hunter College, are:
Arts, Letters, Humanities ...... White Business ...... Sapphire Blue Education ...... Light Blue Engineering ...... Orange Health Sciences ...... : ...... Kelly Green Law ...... Purple Medicine ...... Green Nursing ...... Apricot Pharmacy ...... Olive Philosophy...... Dark Blue Sciences and Mathematics ...... Golden Yellow Social Sciences ...... Dark Blue Social Work ...... Citron Theology ...... Scarlet
