To the Stevens Institute of Technology Class of 2021:
This past year at Stevens has been a year like no other. It has been challenging and difficult at times, and I know that many of you were tested in ways that you may never have imagined. But you persevered and you have succeeded. You are graduates of one of the world’s premier technological universities.
Today you join an elite group of more than 50,000 accomplished Stevens alumni around the globe. The resiliency and fortitude that you have demonstrated to reach this momentous milestone will serve you well throughout the rest of your lives and careers.
I congratulate you on all that you have achieved and look forward to hearing about the many successes you will undoubtedly have in the years to come. You are the hope and the future, and we are immensely proud of you.
Per aspera ad astra,
Nariman Farvardin President HISTORY OF STEVENS
Stevens Institute of Technology is named for the distinguished family known as “America’s First Family of Inventors.” The Stevens family influenced American engineering for decades, designing steamboats, locomotives, railroad tracks and a host of other technical innovations that powered the new nation.
When inventor Edwin A. Stevens died in 1868, his will provided for the establishment of the university that now bears his family’s name. Two years later, in 1870, Stevens Institute of Technology opened, offering a rigorous engineering curriculum leading to the degree of Mechanical Engineer following a course of study firmly grounded both in scientific principles and the humanities.
Over subsequent decades, Stevens grew by leaps and bounds, evolving from a relatively small four-year undergraduate college of engineering into a leading global technical university with particular strengths in key fields such as computing, artificial intelligence, resilience engineering, complex systems, healthcare and biomedical research, and finance. The university has produced a Nobel Prize winner (Frederick Reines ’39 M.S. ’41) and countless new technologies, products, services and research insights.
In 1971, Stevens opened its doors to undergraduate women for the first time. In 1982, the university became the first major U.S. educational institution to require students to purchase personal computers for use in the classroom. At approximately the same time, Stevens also developed one of the nation’s first intranets, foretelling a revolution in information technology.
Today Stevens continues to grow, expanding enrollment, facilities and research programs. The university’s collaborations with industry and government include two National Centers of Excellence designated by the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, and Stevens students, faculty and alumni continue to make a significant impact globally — building upon the legacy of its founding family. Through its research in fields such as artificial intelligence, medicine, cybersecurity, healthcare, systems, finance, sustainability and resilience, the university will continue to positively shape the future of global society.

The academic gown and hood dates back to the early 14th century in England. In 1895, representatives of American colleges and universities met at Columbia University and prepared a code regulating the design and wearing of academic dress in this country. The code was revised in 1932 and again in 1960.
Each member in the procession wears the hood designating the college last attended and degree last received. The hood is worn over the shoulders and is lined with the official color or colors of the college attended. The color on the edging of the hood, a strip of velvet or velveteen about two inches wide, indicates the major field of study.
The popular trimming colors for Stevens hoods include: Engineering, orange Science, golden yellow Humanities, white Business, drab Medicine, green Economics, copper Social Science, citron Environmental Science, antique gold Philosophy, dark blue Music, pink Law, purple Fine Arts, brown HISTORY OF THE STEVENS MACE
Many colleges have a ceremonial mace that is used in their formal academic functions. These maces are usually comprised by a half or full staff and have a distinctive ornamental head. They are adapted to be borne by, or carried before, a college dignitary as a symbol of authority in academic processions.
The Stevens Mace was donated by Dr. Willis H. Taylor, Jr. ’16, after completing a decade as Chairman of the Board of Trustees. It was presented to the Board at a meeting held prior to the 87th Commencement ceremony on June 13, 1959. It is a half-staff, made by Tiffany & Co. of New York of sterling silver and bears the Stevens seal in its crown- like head.
Today the mace will be carried in and out of the ceremony by the Faculty Marshal, leading the dignitaries who will officiate today’s Commencement.
ALMA MATER
Where flows the Hudson River out to the mighty sea On Castle Point so proudly stands there in majesty Stevens, our Alma Mater, homage to Thee we pay With loyal hearts and voices true to the Red and Gray.
