3 The Student Speaker

First-generation college student Safari Love is a native North Memphian who began his lifelong dream of earning a college degree in 2018.

Early in his life, Love was convinced he was not college material. Despite a successful career with the City of Memphis, and lingering doubts, he always regretted not earning a college degree. Imbued with an entrepreneurial spirit and earnest desire to serve the hearing- impaired community, Love later became a solopreneur, working as a sign language interpreter, his second language. Though his careers were personally and professionally fulfilling, Love’s yearning to obtain a college degree grew with each passing year.

After learning about Tennessee Reconnect, a program that provides adults the opportunity to attend community college tuition-free, Love Safari Love decided to bury his regrets and realize his lifelong dream of earning a college credential. Filled with hope and fueled by the encouragement of his family and a new-found passion for , Love chose to pursue an Associate of Science in General Studies at Southwest. As a 44-year-old away from college for several years, Love discovered a nurturing environment at Southwest, seemingly created for students just like him. From the infrastructure of holistic support to the flexible course calendar and convenient locations, Southwest was the perfect fit.

Overcoming the typical fears and uncertainties associated with attending college as a nontraditional student was no small feat. But, Love persevered. He has blossomed into an award-winning scholar with a 3.80 grade point average and member of Project M.O.S.T. (Men of Southwest Tennessee) and Delta Upsilon Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa . He also continues to give back as an avid mentor to his fellow Saluqis.

Today, Love culminates his academic career at Southwest as the first in his family to earn a college degree. He plans to continue his studies at the University of Memphis this fall where he will pursue a bachelor’s degree in architecture. Love’s ultimate goals: to share his entrepreneurial spirit with those who dare to dream, channel his passion for personal and professional development to uplift those who dare to strive and hone his affection for architecture to shape the city he loves.

26 Academic

Academic originated at universities in the Middle Ages when a warm and were necessary in unheated buildings. For centuries these distinguished students from their fellow citizens; sometimes this distinction in dress symbolized unfortunate controversies between “.” The European habit of using academic came to this country in the eighteenth century with the founding of what is now . In 1895, American universities and colleges standardized their styles of academic , and this system, with occasional modifications, still is in force. Today, the various colors, trimmings and patterns of gown, hood and capareall traditional and symbolize both the degree and field of learning.

GOWNS: American academic gowns are usually of black material, and their pattern varies with the degree held. The bachelor’s gowns are relatively simple in design with a closed front and long, pointed, open sleeves. Master’s gowns have an open front with long, closed sleeves, the arms extending through a slit at the elbow, giving the appearance of short sleeves. Doctoral gowns are the most elaborate, with panels down the open front and three velvet bars on the bell-shaped sleeves.

HOODS: The hoods, differing in length for the three degrees (bachelor’s, master’s and doctor’s), are lined with the colors of the institution that granted the degree. Hoods are also trimmed with the color that heralds the major field of learning.

CAPS: A square mortarboard is the approved . The tassel, fastened to the middle point of the of the , is black or the color appropriate to the subject; it may be gold if the holder has a doctoral degree. Southwest Tennessee Community College has adopted the practice of having candidates for the associate degree wear the tassels on the right front side before degrees are conferred and shift them to the left at the moment the degrees are awarded to them. In the last few years, many universities have returned to a distinctive gown design, using colors associated with the college or university. Some have replaced the mortarboard with a soft velvet tam with a gold tassel.

Hood and tassel colors represent categories of learning. All hoods are edged with the colors listed below. The same colors may be used for the facing and sleeve bars of doctoral gowns and tassels on bachelor’s and master’s .

27 The Seal of Southwest Tennessee Community College

The College Seal, much like a heraldic of arms, is symbolic of the College’s aspirations and mission. Southwest Tennessee Community College has incorporated both ancient and new elements and symbols into a seal that is 21st Century in design, to signify the College’s origin in this millennium and its commitment to the future.

The Southwest Seal is a circle, centered by a shield, which is quartered to hold four “charges,” denoting the general programs the College offers. The Torch, a symbol of general education, also stands for guidance, knowledge and enlightenment – the flame that lights the darkness of ignorance. The Gears represent the wide range of technological programs. The Atom, the most modern ideogram, symbolizes the natural sciences. The Caduceus, the most ancient symbol, illustrates the medical arts. The Open Book, in the very center of the Seal, symbolizes knowledge and the wisdom of the universe. The Laurel Leaves, on which the shield rests, proclaim achievement, excellence and triumph. Finally, the Motto, KNOWLEDGE SERVICE OPPORTUNITY, sums up the Mission of the College.

Colors of the Seal: The College’s official colors are red (signifying life and warmth) and blue (signifying calm, reflection, and intellect).

Use of the Seal: The Seal is used officially to authenticate documents, such as diplomas, transcripts, and in jewelry, such as college rings and nursing pins. It is engraved on the College Mace, which is carried in solemn procession by the faculty senate president, symbolic protector of the president of the College.

Presidential Medallion

Bearing the seal of Southwest Tennessee Community College, the Medallion is symbolic of the College and represents the Office of the President. Worn by the President only during academic events, it signifies authority, trust, leadership, accomplishment and continuity of tradition. The sterling silver medallion, coin-struck with the College Seal, is supported by a double strand of silver links with eight sculpted silver shields. Each shield will eventually be engraved with the name and dates of tenure of a president of the College. The Medallion is a gift to the College from the Southwest Foundation.

The College Mace

The mace is an ancient symbol of authority, usually a spiked club, carried in ceremony before a king or other ruler by an officer charged with his protection. The College Mace is an ornamental “Lamp of Knowledge,” representing the body of learning imparted by the faculty to enlighten students, and also symbolizing authority as embodied in the president of the College. The silver lamp is engraved with the College Seal and is mounted on a staff of silver and carved wood. The president of the Faculty Senate carries the mace before the College president during Commencement and other ceremonial occasions as a symbol of the protector of knowledge.
