FRANK T. BROGAN' PRESIDENT

Frank T. Brogan became the fifth president of Florida Atlantic University in March 2003. Before becoming president of FAU . he served as the 15th lieutenant governor of the state of Florida. A native of Cincinnati. President Brogan and his twin brother. John. are the youngest of six children. By earning a bachelor's degree in education from the University of Cincinnati. President Brogan became the first member of his family to graduate from college. His love of learning would eventually lead him to Florida. where he earned a master's in education from Florida Atlantic University. Throughout his professional career. President Brogan has been a champion for Florida's public schools. His philosophy is simply that all children can learn. and that schools must be held accountable for ensuring that learning is provided in a safe and friendly environment. As a former fifth grade teacher. dean of students. principal and superintendent of schools in Martin County. President Brogan speaks from experience. He is familiar with the challenges and opportunities that face our public schools. Elected in 1994 as Florida's youngest commissioner of education. President Brogan made his mark as a staunch supporter of higher academic standards. the development of second chance or alternative schools and the right of teachers to remove disruptive students from their classrooms. His most important legacy as commissioner was bringing greater accountability to Florida schools. During his tenure as lieutenant governor. he was the legislative liaison for Governor Jeb Bush and helped ensure that "promises kept" could be stamped on the platform issues on which he and the Governor ran. The outcomes of policies implemented during President Brogan's tenure as lieutenant governor include reduction of violent crime to a 28-year low in 2000: environmental protection. including the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan: serving the needs of Florida's most vulnerable citizens. especially our children. frail elders and the developmentally disabled: and tax relief of nearly $6 billion. ln addition to serving as a champion for education and children. President Brogan has served as a leader for other important causes. During the past few years. he has become especially involved in the fight against cancer- a disease that claimed the life of his first wife. Mary. For his work. he has received a public service award from the Pioneers in Prostate Cancer and has used his remarkable speaking ability to crusade in the fight against breast cancer. He currently serves as the statewide chairman of Florida's Dialogue on Cancer. President Brogan is married to Courtney S. Brogan. a law student at Florida State University.

31 ACADEMIC

Lending color to the pageantry of the Academic Commencement are the academic robes and hoods worn by the faculty and delegates. This regalia dates back to medieval times when it served a functional as well as ornamental role. separating learned men from other groups and offering warmth and protection.

In late I 9th-century America. a conference was held by representatives of colleges and universities to bring more order and system to the custom of academic dress. Since that time. there have been periodic conferences to revise or reconfirm existing practices.

Essentially. holders of the bachelor's degree wear black robes unadorned. Holders of the master's degree wear hoods that are lined with the colors of the college conferring the degree and trimmed with the color representing the subject in which the degree is earned. The doctoral robe is adorned with velvet and also is worn with the hood suitably ornamented. Holders of degrees from foreign universities or religious orders wear the entire academic costumes as decreed by the conferring institutions.

President Frank T. Brogan is wearing new presidential regalia. The four chevrons on the sleeve of the robe are used only by university presidents. The colors of the chevrons and master's hood- blue and silver- are the official FAU regalia colors.

The following list shows the colors that will be found on the hoods worn in the Academic Procession at the Commencement and the discipline each represents.

Accounting, Business Administration ...... Drab Art, Letters, English. History. Humanities ...... White Communication ...... Crimson Dramatic Arts ...... Brown Economics ...... Copper Education ...... Light Blue Engineering ...... Orange Fine Arts ...... Brown Journalism ...... Crimson Law ...... Purple Library Science ...... Lemon Yellow Mathematics. Psychology ......

The History of the Mace

The mace. generally made of wood and clad in metal. was used as a weapon during the Middle Ages. Later. as more powerful military arms were developed. the mace became a symbol of authority.

During the 12th century. guards of the English and French kings were the first to bear ceremonial maces. The tradition grew, and by the end of the 16th century. the mace was used by officials in cities and towns throughout England. Today. the ceremonial mace is carried in the British Houses of Parliament. before ecclesiastical dignitaries and in university convocations.

The Florida Atlantic University mace carried in today's commencement procession was designed and handcrafted by FAU art professor William Lattimer and is made of mahogany and silver. The carved staff encircled with silver rings is topped by a silver owl with outspread wings. The design signifies the dignity. determination and wisdom of FAU 's mascot. the burrowing owl.

Baccalaureate Degrees of Distinction

Florida Atlantic University recognizes superior academic performance by granting baccalaureate degrees of distinction on the recommendation of faculty to students who have earned at least 50 semester hours at FAU with a Grade Point Average (GPA) as follows:

"Cum Laude" for a GPA at FAU of at least 3.50. indicated herein by *

"Magna Cum Laude" for a GPA at FAU of at least 3.70. indicated herein by **

"Summa Cum Laude" for a GPA at FAU of at least 3.90. indicated herein by ***

The awarding of degrees and honors to the candidates named in this program is contingent upon the satisfactory completion of appropriate requirements by each candidate. The listing of students' names in this program in no way implies or ensures their graduation or the awarding of honors.

33 CoMMENCEMENT INFORMATION, CONTINUED

A Note on Photography

In order to maintain an orderly and dignified ceremony, one that our graduates can remember with pride and enjoyment, guests are requested to remain seated during the entire ceremony and recessional and to refrain from taking pictures of the candidates until after the exercises are completed.

The University has contracted with Bob Knight Photo, 1975 Commonwealth Lane. Tallahassee, Florida 32303 (www.bobknightphoto.com) to take a full-color. close-up photograph of each candidate with the President. Graduates will be contacted at a later date about purchasing the photograph.

Your cooperation will ensure that the commencement exercises run smoothly and that the ceremony itself will be a fitting occasion to mark this significant milestone in the lives of our graduates.
