President 1 COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF PHILADELPHIA Academic Regalia THE COLORFUL REGALIA worn by academicians is steeped in tradition, dating back to the ecclesiastical garb of the Middle Ages. Adaptations from ecclesiastical to academic dress began in early European universities, which were founded by the church. University faculty and students wore the adapted robes for distinction and warmth. The University of Cambridge is cited as the first to use the academic gown. Representatives of American universities met in the early 1890s and agreed upon a standard style of academic attire. The Intercollegiate Code, revised in 1932 and again in 1959, is followed today by American colleges and universities, except for a few schools, which continue to use the styles of England. Gowns are traditionally black; however, some colleges and universities have authorized use of a color symbolic of the institution. Associate and bachelor’s gowns have pointed sleeves and are designed to be worn closed. Master’s and specialist gowns have long, closed sleeves with an arc near the bottom and an opening for the arm. Doctoral gowns are faced with wide velvet panels and have bell-shaped sleeves with three horizontal velvet bars. Caps, originally round, are typically square mortarboards. Some universities have adopted a doctor’s cap, which traditionally has a gold tassel, with a soft crown instead of the mortarboard. TASSELS At Community College of Philadelphia, the tassel worn by students signifies the type of degree or certificate being presented: Associate in Arts – white, Associate in Applied Science – dark green, Associate in Science – brown, Certificates – dark blue. HOODS Hoods, which originally were attached to the gown and could be slipped over the head for warmth, are the most colorful articles of clothing for specialist, master’s and doctoral recipients. The color of the lining of the hood represents the university awarding the degree. The color of the facing of the hood reflects the academic discipline of the wearer’s highest degree. Colors that may be seen among the marching faculty and their corresponding fields of study include: brown (fine arts), crimson (journalism), dark blue (philosophy), golden yellow (science), lemon yellow (library science), light blue (education), yellow-brown (commerce, business, accountancy), pink (music), purple (law), sage green (physical education), scarlet (theology) and white (arts, letters, humanities). 2 54TH COMMENCEMENT | MAY 2, 2020 Laura Davidson Debonair Oates-Primus, Ph.D. Mace Bearer, Mace Bearer, 2020-21 Processional 2020-21 Recessional THE MACE The ceremonial mace, a symbol of academic scholarship and integrity since the 11th century, is used to lead the academic procession at commencement and other special ceremonial occasions, signifying the importance of the event and the conformation of the academic process. Ceremonial maces derive from maces used as weapons in the Middle Ages. The first maces were a heavy staff or club, made wholly or partly of metal and often spiked, and were used to break armor. The earliest ceremonial maces are believed to have been carried by sergeants-at-arms who protected kings in France and Germany. Over the centuries, maces became more decorative and symbolic. Maces are part of ceremonial traditions in the U.S. House of Representatives and the British House of Commons. The tradition at Community College of Philadelphia’s Commencement exercises is to honor a senior faculty member by being named the Mace Bearer. This honor may go to a retiring faculty member, or as is the case this year, to a past winner of the Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Foundation Award for Excellence in Teaching. GONFALONS The gonfalons – or banners – are a recent addition to Community College of Philadelphia’s Commencement exercises. The gonfalon is a long banner that is suspended from a crossbar. The name derives from medieval Italy, where “gonfaloni” was the name given to community meetings in Florence. Each neighborhood had its own flag and coat of arms, and the word gonfalon eventually came to be associated with the flag. At Community College of Philadelphia, each degree type has its gonfalon and the “gonfalonieres” – the carriers of the banners – precede the candidates for each degree type during the processional into the arena. The gonfalon bearer is an honor accorded to a member of the faculty from a department offering that degree type. The colors associated with each degree type mirror the tassel color worn by the degree candidates. 3 COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF PHILADELPHIA ANNOUNCED INSTRUCTIONS SANDRA GONZALEZ-TORRES Director of Articulation and Transfer PRE-COMMENCEMENT MUSIC Selections from Spring Garden Records Director, PAUL J.

  • February 15, 2021 Dear Governor Wolf
    February 15, 2021 Dear Governor Wolf: CompetePA is a coalition comprised of statewide and regional business groups, small- and medium- sized businesses, as well as Fortune 500 companies. The coalition, which represents more than half the Commonwealth’s private sector employers, was formed in 2005 to help create a competitive business tax climate that encourages job growth in Pennsylvania. On behalf of over 160 businesses and organizations across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the CompetePA Coalition writes in opposition to the proposed tax increases to businesses, large and small across Pennsylvania, as laid out in your 2021-22 budget proposal. It is no secret that Pennsylvania has one of the least competitive business tax environments in the country. For 2021, we rank 43rd in the nation in the Tax Foundation’s “Corporate Tax Ranking”. At 9.99 percent, we have the highest non-graduated Corporate Net Income Tax (CNIT) rate in the country. While we appreciate your proposal to lower this rate, tying the rate reduction to combined reporting – a policy that adds complexity, uncertainty, and cost to business – ultimately further negatively impacts Pennsylvania’s competitive standing. While CompetePA has historically focused on just the CNIT rate and its structure, we would be remiss if we also didn’t share our opposition to the proposal to raise the Personal Income Tax (PIT) rate. Our PIT rate is one of the most competitive rates in the country, at 3.07 percent. It’s also the rate paid by many small businesses in our Commonwealth. As regions everywhere look to recover and thrive in a post-pandemic world, now more than ever we need to ensure Pennsylvania is competitively positioned versus the competition.

  • Legislative UPDATE
    November 16, 2020 Legislative UPDATE Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education "State lawmakers return to Harrisburg [this week for] what has become a rarity in recent years with a post-election session in which substantive legislation is expected to be considered," reports PennLive. According to Capitolwire, their work will primarily focus on trying "to figure out a way to finish off the state’s 2020-21 state budget (as well as appropriate $1.3 billion in federal CARES Act funding), of which there are seven months remaining to be addressed." Federal CARES Act funding must be spent by December 31st on COVID-19 related needs. The $25.8 billion interim budget funded education for kindergarten to 12th grade at the same level as 2019-20, and it also fully funded colleges and universities, including Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education. The current two-year legislative comes to an end on November 30th. If a balanced buget is not settled upon by then, providers, grantees and others would be impacted. Senate Session & Committee Activity Senate Session Days | Watch Session Live | Senate Calendars | Senate Committee Meeting Schedule The Senate stands in recess until the call of the President Pro Tempore, but is presently scheduled to convene today and again Tuesday through Thursday. In committee activity, Senate Appropriations is scheduled to consider these bills of interest: • SB 1350 (Browne): A supplement to and act to provide from the General Fund for the expenses of the Executive, Legislative & Judicial Departments, the public debt & the public schools for the fiscal year July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021.
