ACADEMIC ROBES AND REGALIA The pageantry and color of an academic convocation such as today’s commencement come to us from medieval times when academic robes and regalia were adapted from ecclesiastical garb. Most robes were black to symbolize the democracy of scholarship, since they cover any dress or rank of social standing worn beneath. Bachelors’ gowns are cut with long pointed sleeves; masters’ gowns feature closed slit sleeves, and doctors’ gowns are full-cut with double-belled sleeves and bars of velvet trim. Some universities have authorized doctoral gowns in a single color that is representative of the institution, such as Barry University’s scarlet.
The hood, originally a simple cowl attached to the gown, bears the heaviest symbolism of the academic costume. The hood’s lining displays the colors of the university that granted the degree. Silver, black and red in the inner lining of the hood denotes a Barry University degree. The bordering color indicates the field of learning (or faculty) in which the degree was earned. The square cap, or mortarboard, originated in the 13th Century at the University of Paris and came to England in Tudor times. Earlier caps were round and reserved for doctoral degree holders. This velvet cap is still worn by doctors, except those with degrees in theology. Doctoral tassels are usually gold and other degrees are represented by black, but in recent years tassels have come to match the border of the hood to indicate the field of learning.
Some of the colors you may see today are:
Arts, Letters, Humanities - White Philosophy - Dark Blue Business - Drab Physical Education - Green Education - Light Blue Podiatric Medicine - Nile Green Fine Arts - Brown Public Administration - Peacock Law - Purple Public Health - Salmon Music - Pink Science - Golden Yellow Nursing - Apricot Social Work - Citron Occupational Therapy - Ink Theology - Scarlet COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM 10:00 AM CEREMONY

HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENTS
ADRIENNE ARSHT, Business Leader and Impact Philanthropist The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County, via Ms. Arsht’s support, enabled staff and performers to pivot quickly during the pandemic, hosting free virtual performances and creating the blueprint for safely offering audiences live performances, providing an example for others to follow. And, in the summer of racial reckoning and healing, it was the Adrienne Arsht Center that brought performers to our area that reflect the richness and beauty of a multicultural world. Ms. Arsht’s profound impact extends well beyond the arts both nationally and globally, including through the work of the Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center at the Atlantic Council focused on solutions to climate change, migration, and human security challenges, and the Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center at the Atlantic Council devoted to the advancement of hemispheric prosperity. Ms. Arsht will receive an Honorary Doctor of Arts.
MARILYN HOLIFIELD, Partner, Holland & Knight A trailblazer since childhood, Ms. Holifield became the first Black female partner of a prominent Florida law firm in 1986. Years prior, she made history when she was one of three African American students to desegregate Leon High School in Tallahassee in 1963. She is a graduate of Swarthmore College and Harvard Law School and is co-founder of the planned Miami Museum of Contemporary Art of the African Diaspora. Ms. Holifield recently co- authored Seven Sisters and a Brother, detailing her student activism during the Civil Rights era. She continues to champion social justice, equity, and inclusion in all areas of her work, and she has received numerous awards for professionalism and public service. Ms. Holifield will address our graduates as Commencement Speaker and will receive an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters.
CARLOS A. MIGOYA, President and CEO, Jackson Health System PETA-ANN ANDERSON, MSN, RN, Chief Nursing Officer, Jackson North Medical Center Mr. Migoya has been at the helm of Jackson Health System throughout the pandemic, serving as a key outside advisor to state and local leaders while Florida was the epicenter of the crisis, and marshaling Jackson’s forces to become the largest vaccination provider in South Florida. Ms. Anderson has devotedly led a team of 450 nurses at Jackson Health System’s largest suburban campus, including at the height of the pandemic when the facility was caring for nearly as many COVID-19 patients as another in the system more than double its size. Mr. Migoya and Ms. Anderson represent the harmony between clinical and support teams that is vital for daily success and crisis management. They will each receive an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters.
GLADYS MONTES, Group Vice President, United Way Center for Excellence in Early Education As the pandemic forced educators and childcare providers to reimagine instruction and care for children, Ms. Montes and her staff at the United Way Center for Excellence in Early Education worked tirelessly to ensure their early childhood programs continued to provide critical services and support. Ms. Montes will receive an Honorary Doctor of Education. HONORS PROGRAM GRADUATES
