2 Rider University Traditions

The President’s Robe The robe worn by the president of Rider University was presented by the Rider University Chapter of the American Association of University Professors to Dr. Dell’Omo as a welcome gift in 2015. The robe is cranberry and white, the University’s official colors. It is worn by the president at formal academic occasions.

The Rider Rock The Rider Rock was initiated by students in 2006 to honor generations of Rider students and to connect them to the symbolic Rider Elm, the emblem of learning and the cycles of life. Incoming Rider students touch the Rider Rock following New Student Convocation, and graduating seniors complete the cycle during Senior Week. The five-foot-high granite rock, located on the Lawrenceville Campus Green, is inscribed with Rider’s motto, the Latin words “In Omnia Paratus,” which translates to “in all things prepared.” The inscription continues, “By touching the Rider Rock, we affirm our commitment to the pursuit of knowledge and the betterment of our world. Through the time we spent here, we are forever joined to the past and future generations of students and to Rider University.”

The Presidential Medallion The Presidential Medallion was presented to Dr. Dell’Omo on the occasion of his inauguration as Rider’s seventh president. The Presidential Medallion depicts the seal of the University and is inscribed with the University’s motto, the Latin words “In Omnia Paratus,” which translates to “in all things prepared.” Circular links of the chain represent each of the colleges and the names of each of Rider’s seven presidents are engraved on curved banner links. The medallion is worn by the president at official University functions of high solemnity when academic attire is worn.

The Mace The mace, carried at the head of the procession, is a traditional symbol of authority at governmental, ecclesiastical and scholarly occasions. Originally a warlike implement, it has evolved in form and fabric to fit its present ceremonial purpose. Of silver and ebony, the mace of Rider University is a memorial to Roland T. Henderson, Class of 1949, and was presented in 1975 by his widow, Elizabeth. The names of Rider’s seven presidents are engraved on the mace.

3 Rider University Statement of Community Values

In our endeavor to make Rider University a just community, we commit ourselves, as caring individuals, to the following principles:

• that our rigorous intellectual life nourishes our minds and spirits; • that no person travels these halls as a stranger; • that integrity of word and deed forms the foundation of all relationships; • that we recognize that real leadership is derived from service to others; • that we celebrate our differences for they are our strength; • that we are proud of this special place, entrusted to us by past generations, nurtured by us for future ones; • that we share not one Truth, but respect our common pursuit for understanding; • and through the time we spend here, we are forever joined to each other and to Rider University.

Adopted on University Day, April 12, 2001

Academic Heraldry

The wearing of caps, gowns, and hoods at college and university functions dates back to the Middle Ages when they were first worn by monks and students in order to keep warm in the damp and drafty 12th-century castles and halls of learning. Through the years, their style and color have come to represent certain exact meanings.

• Gowns for the associate’s and bachelor’s degrees, worn through undergraduate study, have a semi-stiff yoke, long pleated front and intricate shirring across the shoulders and back. The gown is worn closed and is primarily distinguished by its long, pointed sleeves. • The gown for the master’s degree has the same yoke effect as that of the bachelor’s, but is so designed that it may be worn open or closed. The back of the sleeve is oblong and square cut. • Gowns for the doctoral degree are also worn open or closed. They have long velvet panels down the front and three velvet bars on the bell-shaped sleeves. This velvet trimming may be either black or the color distinctive of the field of learning to which the degree pertains. • Caps may be mortarboards or soft, square-topped caps. The tassel of the associate’s and bachelor’s caps may be black thread; the tassel for the master’s cap, silver thread; and the tassel of the doctor’s cap, gold thread. • At Rider University, the tassel color indicates graduation with honors: undergraduate degree candidates receiving their degree with honors, cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude, wear white tassels. Master’s degree candidates receiving their degree with distinction wear tassels of cranberry. • The hood gives further color and meaning to the academic costume. The hood is a shell of varying sizes for the baccalaureate and graduate degrees and of material to match the gown. It is lined with the color or colors of the institution conferring the degree and is bordered with velvet of the proper width and color to indicate the field of learning:

• Business/Drab • Education/Light Blue • Fine and Performing Arts/Brown • Liberal Arts/White • Music/Pink • Nursing /Apricot • Physical Education and Health/Sage Green • Science/Gold

WWW.RIDER.EDU/BOLD Rider University is committed to doing its part for the environment.

Several initiatives aimed at fulfilling that commitment are a part of today’s ceremony:

• The eco-friendly caps and gowns being worn by graduates are made from 100 percent, post-consumer recycled plastic bottles with an average of 23 bottles used to make each gown. Funding for the GreenWeaver™ graduation gowns has been provided by the Rider University Energy and Sustainability Steering Committee (ESSC).

• In addition, this souvenir Commencement book has been printed by an FSC-certified printer with vegetable-based inks on FSC- certified paper with 10 percent post-consumer waste recycled content.

• The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international network existing to promote responsible management of the world’s forests. The FSC label identifies products that contain wood from well-managed forests certified in accordance with the rules of the FSC, which ensure that people, wildlife and the environment benefit from the forestry practices. FSC certification is globally recognized as being the most credible and strongest system for ensuring well-managed forests.
