official registry for conferral is the student's permanent academic Graduates, families and friends record kept by the Office of are cordially invited to attend a the Registrar. reception for graduate students immediately following the Academic
Hooding Ceremony in the Elaine C. Levitt Auditorium, Cershman Hall prior to the Commencement Ceremony at the Kimmel Center. The Processional
Led by the Grand Marshal carrying the University mace, the academic procession begins with the graduating seniors and graduate students, followed by the faculty from the three colleges and the division of Liberal Arts, who in turn are followed by the directors, deans, vice president, provost, distinguished guests, members of the Board of Trustees, chairman of the Board and the president of the university.
The tradition of academic regalia dates from the twelfth century and is heavily influenced by clerical attire. The gowns for holders of a doctorate degree have bell-shaped sleeves, and are often trimmed in velvet. Master's degree hoods are usually shorter than those for Doctoral degrees. The color of the hood lining usually denotes the school's official color, and the velvet trim, the earned degree. For example, brown is the color reserved for fine arts degrees, pink for music, blue for philosophy, yellow/gold for science, purple for law, and white for literature. The color and shape of the hats and tassels is a matter of national, institutional or personal preference.
Students who are graduating with academic honors are wearing red sashes to denote their accomplishment.
The three students who have attained the highest grade point average over four years in their respective Colleges, are wearing a University medal in addition to their red sashes.
Alumni are distinguished by a rosette in the school colors of cardinal red and white.
Members of the Board of Trustees are designated by a rosette with gold ribbon, connoting their dedicated service and generosity to the University. Commencement

Donald R. Chittum
Dr. Donald R. Chittum received a Doctor of Music degree from the Philadelphia Conservatory of Music in 1963, and has remained connected to his alma mater for fifty-two years. Over that time, he has excelled as both a student and a teacher of music, working with Vincent Persichetti and Boris Koutzen, among others. Professor Chittum has participated in and influenced almost every step of the Philadelphia Conservatory of Music's transformation into the School of Music of The University of the Arts, in the capacity of Chairman of Composition and Theory, Director of Graduate Studies, Director of the School of Music, and esteemed faculty member.
In addition to his work at UArts, Professor Chittum has served as President of the Pennsylvania Music Teachers Association, Eastern Division President of the Music Teachers Association, National Chairman for Theory/Composition of the same Association, President of the Pennsylvania Center for Excellence in Education, and Director of the Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Arts, where he is now Director Emeritus. Professor Chittum continues to serve as a consultant to the State department of education and other educational institutions.
Professor Chittum's books and numerous articles on music theory and education have been published widely. His awards include Teacher of the Year from the Pennsylvania Music Teachers Association and the Beitzel Award for outstanding teaching from The University of the Arts.
Known to students and colleagues as "Doc," Professor Chittum is loved and revered by the UArts community.
Joseph Musso
Joseph Musso graduated from The University of the Arts in 1963 and began his distinguished career in the motion picture industry in 1964. A historical illustra- tor and conceptual artist in the Art Directors Branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Mr. Musso has been President of the Illustrators and Matte Artists of the Motion Picture Industry since 1978.
Mr. Musso has worked with such bright lights on the silver screen as Alfred Hitchcock, Walt Disney, John Huston, David Zucker, John Wayne, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Paul Newman and Clint Eastwood. His filmography includes Mike Nichols' Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Alfred Hitchcock's The Torn Curtain, Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy, and Gary Winick's 13 Going on 30.
While his work is represented in the permanent collection at the Warner Brothers Museum, Mr. Musso's career continues to evolve and flourish in Hollywood.

Leilani Lattin Duke
Leilani Lattin Duke is not an artist or art educator - at least not on paper. But her background in political science and liberal arts did not divert her from dedicating her career to advocating the importance of art-based education in schools across the nation.
Beginning as a federal aid coordinator for Senator Jacob Javits of New York, she moved up to lead three national arts groups, then served 17 years as founding director of the Getty Education Institute for the Arts, which, during her tenure, embarked on a decade-long national reform effort in arts education to transform the way art is taught in public schools. The Institute funded regional centers where more than 1,000 teachers from 400 districts learned to integrate the arts into existing curricula.
Ms. Duke is now Director of the Reading by 9 Initiative with the Los Angeles Times, a five-county child literacy project, and Chairman of the American Crafts Council, where she continues to promote the arts at a national level.
Roberto Memmo
Roberto Memmo has been a highly successful developer and industrialist in Italy, Monaco, Great Britain and the United States. In 1972 he created the Fondazione Memmo, a cultural organization dedicated to the dissemination of cultural heritage and art in Italy as broadly as possible to all levels of society. The foundation is supported privately and works in partnership with banks, television and publishers. The Fondazione Memmo has organized over twenty major international exhibitions on a wide variety of subjects, from Caravaggio to Julian Freud, from Cleopatra to the Aztecs. These exhibitions are accompanied by television documentaries, books and CDs that reach hundreds of thousands of people of all ages.
Through his foundation, Mr. Memmo has restored the magnificent Palazzo
Ruspoli, a 16th century architectural and artistic jewel, to its present condition and has been a staunch supporter of the conservation of monuments in Lecce, a splendid southern Italian baroque city. He is the recipient of various international recognition and awards. Degree Candidates

The University of the Arts evolved from two century-old institutions: the Philadelphia College of Art and the Philadelphia College of Performing Arts.
The Philadelphia College of Art (PCA) was created in 1876 along with the Museum of Art. Initially known as the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art, the institutions were established in response to the interest in art and art education that was stimulated by the country_s Centennial Exposition. In 194$, the school became known as the Philadelphia Museum School of Art, respecting the expanded programs that trained artists in many other areas, including the arts. The school received accreditation in 1959, and in 1964 separated from the Museum to become the Philadelphia College of Art. Today, the College of Art and Design of The University of the Arts offers curricula in design, media arts, fine arts, crafts, and museum and art education.
The performing arts programs of The University of the Arts date from 1870, when three graduates of the Conser- vatory of Leipzig opened one of the first European style conservatories of music in America: the Philadelphia Musical Academy. The Musical Academy became an independent college of music in 1950, granting a Bachelor of Music degree after a four-year course of study, one of only eight such music colleges in the nation at the time.
While still offering only a music program, the school changed its name to the Philadelphia College of Performing
Arts (PCPA) in 1976, the first such college in Pennsylvania. One year later the former Philadelphia Dance Academy became part of PCPA, and in 1983 the School of Theater was created, achieving the college's ideal balance of performing arts: dance, music and theater arts.
In 1985, PCA and PCPA joined to become the Philadelphia Colleges of the Arts, and a true visual and performing arts university was in its formative stages. With its inauguration in 1987, The University of the Arts is the largest compre- hensive educational institution of its kind in the nation, preparing students for professional careers in design, fine arts, crafts, dance, music, and theater arts.
In 1996 the University added a new College of Media and Communication, offering degrees in communication, writing for film and television, and multimedia.
The University's 2,100 undergraduate and graduate students are taught by 115 full-time and 375 part-time faculty members. In addition to the 25 undergraduate and
1 1 graduate programs, UArts offers courses of study for artists of all ages. The Center for Continuing Studies offers professionals the chance to advance their careers or explore their creativity. Teachers are able to earn graduate credits at the Professional Institute for Educators, which provides innovative approaches to teacher education. Children from K-8 learn from professional artist-teachers at the Saturday Arts Lab; and high school students sample UArts courses in the popular Pre-College Programs. 1996 COLLEGE OF MEDIA & COMMUNICATION
