ALMA MATER HYMN Written by Dr. Frank M. Williams (Please stand during the playing of the Alma Mater.) Roanoke College Choir Dr. Jeffrey R. Sandborg, Director

Deep in our hearts, a flame is softly burning. Deep in our thoughts, the mem’ries are returning. Bells that are ringing, choirs that are singing, Bring back the joys that we have known.

Learning to live, and loving as we’re learning. Seeking to find the truths for which we’re yearning. Years come and go, but we’ll always know That dear old Roanoke served us well.

To live once more, here in these hallowed halls. To know once again all the joys that we used to know!

Some day the winter of life will pass before us. Then we’ll remember the place that proudly bore us. Then we’ll remember Alma Mater. Then we’ll remember Thee.

THE BENEDICTION Rev. Bowen

DR. CYNTHIA B. MORROW

Dr. Cynthia B. Morrow is health director of the Roanoke City & Alleghany Health Districts of the Virginia Department of Health. The health districts provide public health services, community outreach, emergency preparedness, environmental health, and community health improvement to a population of more than 278,400 in the cities of Covington, Roanoke and Salem, and the counties of Alleghany, Botetourt, Craig and Roanoke.

Dr. Morrow holds a Bachelor of Arts from Swarthmore College and a Doctor of Medicine and Master of Public Health from Tufts University School of Medicine, and completed her residency in internal medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina.

Dr. Morrow is an internal medicine physician by training and public health professional by career, having spent nearly nine years as commissioner of health in Onondaga County, New York, and holding, for nearly three years, the Lerner Chair for Health Promotion at Syracuse University. Since 2017, Dr. Morrow has served as co-leader for Health Systems Science at Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine.

In September 2020, Dr. Morrow was named director of the Roanoke City & Alleghany Health Districts. She stepped full-time into the role in January 2021, while continuing her position at Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine.

For Dr. Morrow, assuming leadership of the health districts came at an astoundingly critical time. Virginia’s health districts had been thrust into the role of preparing for and responding to the COVID-19 crisis, standing at the forefront of confronting outbreaks and mitigating the spread of infection.

The mission of the health districts — to promote and encourage healthy behavior, protect the public against environmental hazards, prevent epidemics and the spread of disease, and assist communities in recovery — has been on full display during this health crisis, as has the measured, consistent and responsive leadership of Dr. Morrow.

Dr. Morrow views local health departments as key strategists in their communities, acting as bridges between the health care systems. It is incumbent upon health departments, she has said, to look at health disparities, and to raise the level of well- being for all community members.

Local health departments are on the front lines of this pandemic, working to protect communities from exposure to an implacable disease. Roanoke College extends extreme gratitude to Dr. Morrow for her work in guiding the Roanoke City & Alleghany Regional Health Districts during an intensely challenging period in our nation’s history.

Wray ACADEMIC REGALIA Ceremonial robes worn in the academic procession during Commencement exercises convey the breadth and intricate structure of the academic world. Colors of diverse institutions and academic fields stand in high relief against the basic black of the caps and gowns. By its color(s), the lining of the hood represents the college or university that is conferring the degree. Note the royal blue and gold of Roanoke College. Gowns themselves are different shapes for bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees. The typical American cap is flat with a tassel draped over its front edge. Some colleges and universities in the United States and abroad use caps that are softly peaked or round and stiff. In addition to traditional regalia, you will see some students at Roanoke’s Commencement ceremony wearing honor cords and graduation stoles. Honor cords consist of colorful twisted cords with tassels on the ends. The cords signify academic achievement or membership in a recognized academic honor group or society. For graduates earning Latin honors, you will see specific solid-color honor cords: gold for summa cum laude, silver for magna cum laude, and white for cum laude. Graduation stoles are decorative vestments worn by members of a college organization. The stoles recognize membership or participation. The cord and stole color and design are specific to a recognized academic honor or group. Hoods also differ in shape for each of the traditional degrees. The edge of the hood and the chevrons and piping of the gown mark the field of study, according to the following scheme:

Agriculture – Maize Medicine – Green Arts, Letters, Humanities – White Music – Pink Commerce, Business – Drab and Sapphire Blue Oratory – Silver Gray Economics – Copper Philosophy – Dark Blue Education – Light Blue Physical Education – Sage Green Engineering – Orange Public Administration – Peacock Blue Fine Arts, Architecture – Brown Science – Golden Yellow Journalism – Crimson Social Work – Citron Law – Purple Theology – Scarlet Library Science – Lemon

The Roanoke College Mace The Roanoke mace was presented to the College in 1996 by the four daughters of Hartselle DeBurney Kinsey 1921. The mace is dedicated to Mr. Kinsey, who was devoted to Roanoke College as a student, teacher, advocate and trustee. Maces date back to the Middle Ages, when they were used as weapons. Today, they are primarily symbols of academic authority used at formal convocations and commencement ceremonies. Roanoke College’s mace was designed by Susannah Wagner, a British-trained goldsmith and jeweler in Ashland, Virginia. Also involved in its making were a jeweler, engraver, stonecutter, glass- blower and wood crafter. The mace features a sterling silver headpiece, which is adorned with garnets and engraved symbols representing subjects cherished by Mr. Kinsey, an American walnut baluster (or wooden stem) and a medallion engraved with a replica of the College seal on one side and the symbol of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America on the reverse. A maroon hand-blown glass globe honoring the College colors rests inside the sterling silver cage of the headpiece. The cage features architectural elements from Miller Hall and rests on a base that includes a fleur-de-lis pattern found in wrought ironwork around campus.

The Roanoke College Seal The seal of the College was approved by the Board of Trustees in April of 1964. It features a shield in national blue emblazoned with a mandarin yellow cross, representing Roanoke College’s relationship with the Lutheran Church. The cross symbolizes the Christian values inherent in our culture, and above it is the lamp of knowledge. The white dogwood flower on the shield symbolizes the Commonwealth of Virginia. The motto, “PALMAM QUI MERUIT FERAT,” means “Let him who earns the palm wear it.” The palm is symbolic of the palm leaf that was given in honor of excellence in ancient Greece. Roanoke has a special Snapchat filter for 2021 graduates. It’s only available until midnight on Saturday. The official hashtag for the Roanoke College Class of 2021 is #maroons2021. Go Maroons!
