Commencement ’15

the university of texas at arlington

Friday, December 18, 2015 • 3 p.m. • College Park Center

COLLEGE OF SCIENCE

Commencement ceremonies are celebratory events, and audiences are encouraged to support family members and friends as their

accomplishments are recognized on stage. However, overzealous displays exhibit a lack of courtesy for the speaker and disrespect

for the occasion and its participants. Individuals who disrupt the ceremony by screaming, shouting, or using noisemakers may be

asked to leave. Thank you for your cooperation.

Commencement MaceMaces, a symbolic staff of high office, are often traditional elements in academic processions. UT Arlington’s mace, designed and created in 2007 by Texas State Artist and Professor David Keens with the assistance of Metal Art Adjunct Professor Fred Miller, is distinctly non-traditional. The UT Arlington mace is an undulating, artistic design of metal and glass that reflects the traditional symbols of academia in a dynamic and contemporary way. Almost completely made of clear glass, it is only upon closer observation that the University’s colors are seen in glass below the round, etched-metal University seal. Surrounding the seal is a contemporary wreath design in transparent glass symbolizing the pursuit of higher education. Below the seal, wreath, and colored glass is a forged metal contemporary nest. Below the nest is a transition into the past with etched transparent glass depictions of the institution’s past names: what Keens calls an ethereal space of time past. All of these sections rest on a long, swirled-glass, undulating tendril, reflecting the linear flow of time. It is a tangible image of history, prestige, formality, creativity, innovation, and the uniqueness of UT Arlington. Each academic unit designates a commencement marshal who will carry the mace at the head of the processional, symbolizing the official nature of the event. When the processional reaches the platform, the mace will be placed at the right of the podium as a visual reminder of the history of this traditional academic ceremony. At the conclusion of the ceremonies, the marshal will retrieve the mace from its holder and carry it at the head of the recessional. Following today’s ceremony, the mace will be displayed in the Office of the President until the next commencement.

Academic DressThe tradition of the academic costume apparently began during the 12th or 13th century in early European universities. At that time, the clergy composed the majority of the educated class, so academic dress is an adaptation of the cape or mantle—usually made of silk or wool—worn by church dignitaries in religious processions. Through the years, great diversity in color and in style of cap, gown, and hood developed. In 1896, the colleges and universities in the United States adopted a uniform code governing academic dress. Today, the black gown, hood, and mortar board worn by the graduates in most institutions follow this code. Most universities do not use the hood for those graduates receiving bachelor’s degrees. While it is not apparent to the casual observer, the gowns worn by the recipients of the various degrees vary somewhat in design. The sleeves of the gowns worn by the baccalaureate candidates are long and pointed, while the sleeves of the gowns worn by the master’s degree recipients are square at one end with a slit at the elbow. The doctoral gown has flowing sleeves with three bars of velvet and a facing of velvet on the front of the gown. Colors used on the hoods serve as identification for the degree. The hood of the doctoral candidate differs in design from that of the master’s as it has side panels and is slightly longer. The velvet border of the hood indicates the degree and usually follows the same code as the color of the tassels. The oxford cap, usually referred to as a mortar board, is black and has a long tassel that is fastened by a button on the top. The tassel is usually worn over the left of the cap. The color of the tassel on the cap indicates the degree.

Commencement ceremonies are celebratory events, and audiences are encouraged to support family members and friends as their

accomplishments are recognized on stage. However, overzealous displays exhibit a lack of courtesy for the speaker and disrespect

for the occasion and its participants. Individuals who disrupt the ceremony by screaming, shouting, or using noisemakers may be

asked to leave. Thank you for your cooperation.

The Graduating Class

“COMMENCEMENT

CEREMONIES

REPRESENT A BOND

BETWEEN YOU AND

YOUR ALMA MATER THAT

CANNOT BE BROKEN,

A RELATIONSHIP THAT IS

NEVER-ENDING, AND A MUTUAL

PRIDE THAT WILL CONTINUE

TO GROW THROUGHOUT TIME.”
