The day you have anticipated for so long has arrived – a day you dreamed of, planned for and worked toward. You have earned this day of honor and celebration, especially after a turbulent period none of us expected.

With all you have learned to prepare you for your career, you have also mastered lessons in living through challenge and sacrifice. Even from a distance, you were there for those who needed to lean on your strength. And family, friends and faculty were strong for you, encouraging you with grace and goodwill.

You have inspired more pride and earned more respect than you realize. The 2021 Graduating Class would have been memorable even without the challenges created by the world-wide pandemic.

We look forward to seeing you continue to thrive professionally and personally. We have witnessed the “proof of principle” in your accomplishments and contributions. Go Eagles!

P. Barry Butler, Ph.D. President Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

In 2017, P. Barry Butler became the sixth president of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, the world’s leading institution of higher education focusing on aviation and aerospace.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University offers more than 100 bachelor’s, master’s, and Ph.D. degree programs in its colleges of Arts & Sciences, Aviation, Business, Engineering, and Business Security & Intelligence. Embry-Riddle educates more than 34,000 students annually at residential campuses in Daytona Beach, Florida, and Prescott, Arizona, through the Worldwide Campus at more than 135 locations in the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East and through online programs.

Under his presidency, Embry-Riddle continues to expand discovery-driven degree programs and its research park is home to new aerospace patents, technology transfer and startups. Butler has encouraged collaboration with industry, resulting in expedited hiring initiatives with leading aviation and aerospace industries. He is expanding the university’s interest in aviation cybersecurity, aviation data analytics and autonomous vehicles. The university also created new partnerships to prime the aviation/aerospace pipeline.

As a strong advocate for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education, Butler supports a dual-enrollment program with the Gaetz Aerospace Institute. The institute offers more than 40 university courses to students in 84 Florida high schools. At the Arizona Campus, the STEM Education Center serves as a hub of enrichment for students, faculty, researchers and the community.

Previously, Butler was Executive Vice President and Provost of the University of Iowa. He was responsible for more than 100 academic programs in 11 colleges. For ten years, he served as Dean of the College of Engineering.

Butler is on the board of the Hoover Presidential Foundation and The Wings Club. He is a member of The Civic League of the Halifax Area. He is a private and glider pilot.

He earned three degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign: a bachelor’s and master’s in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering.

Ellen Stofan, Ph.D.Under Secretary for Science and Research Smithsonian

Ellen Stofan is the Under Secretary for Science and Research at the Smithsonian. She oversees its science research centers as well as the National Museum of Natural History and the National Zoo. The Smithsonian Libraries and Archives, Office of International Relations, Smithsonian Scholarly Press and Scientific Diving Program also report to Stofan. Her focus is the Smithsonian’s collective scientific initiatives and commitment to research across the Institution, especially addressing issues such as biodiversity, global health, climate change, species conservation, astrophysics and the search for life outside Earth’s solar system.

Previously, Stofan was the John and Adrienne Mars Director of the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum (2018–2021) where she was the first woman to hold that position. Under her leadership, the museum began its seven-year renovation of its flagship building in Washington, D.C., in 2018. Stofan also oversaw the momentous celebration of the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing in July 2019 at the museum and on the National Mall.

Before joining the Smithsonian, Stofan had than 25 years’ experience in space-related organizations and a deep research background in planetary geology. She was chief scientist at NASA (2013–2016), serving as the principal advisor to former Administrator Charles Bolden on NASA’s strategic planning and programs. She helped guide the development of a long-range plan to get humans to Mars, and worked on strategies for NASA to support commercial activity in low Earth orbit as it transitions from the International Space Station to sending humans to the moon and Mars in the mid-2020s.

She earned her bachelor’s degree in geology at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, and her master’s and doctoral degrees at Brown University, both in geological sciences. While finishing her doctoral degree, Stofan joined the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) as a post-doctoral fellow and became the deputy project scientist for the Magellan Mission to Venus.

In 1994, Stofan became JPL’s chief scientist for the New Millennium Program where she managed a team of about 100 scientists working on new technologies. The following year, Stofan moved to London while continuing to work at JPL and was, and continues to be, an honorary professor at University College London.

For 13 years (2000–2013), Stofan was vice president and senior scientist at Proxemy Research, a consulting firm in the Washington area specializing in planetary research.

Stofan’s research focuses on the geology of Venus, Mars, Saturn’s moon Titan and Earth. Her favorite mission was Cassini, primarily because of her interest in Titan.

She has published extensively and received many awards and honors, including the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers and the NASA Distinguished Service Medal, and was named one of “CNN’s Extraordinary People of 2014.” She is co-author of the books Planetology: Unlocking the Secrets of the Solar System and Next Earth: What Our World Can Teach Us About Other Planets, both published by National Geographic.

The attire worn by the graduates, faculty, and officers of the university for Commencement exercises has historic roots in the distant medieval past. Dressed in cap and gown, graduates and professors form part of a long tradition, which dates back to Paris, Bologna, Oxford and Cambridge.

The precise origins of the several parts of the academic garb are not easy to discover. However, since medieval students enjoyed the status of clerics during their university years, one may assume that their attire found its inspiration in the clerical dress of medieval times. The gown seems to be an adaptation of the robe of the friar or priest; the hood resembles the monk’s or friar’s cowl; and the mortarboard cap may have evolved from the skullcaps that were needed to protect against the drafts of medieval classrooms.

Academic attire began to appear on campuses in the United States in the late 1890s. Since that time, its use has become universal for University functions, and its pattern is highly uniform.

T H E G O W N

The bachelor’s gown is a yoked, closed-front garment, with long, pointed sleeves; the master’s gown has full, bell-shaped sleeves. Only the doctor’s gown is trimmed — with velvet panels down the front and three velvet bars on each sleeve. Black is also proper for the color of the gown; however, some universities have adopted distinctive colors for these gowns, and the wearer has the option of wearing his/her school color or black.

Though black velvet is proper trimming for all doctor gowns, the color of the panels and sleeve bars is often varied, in order to indicate the faculty that granted the wearer’s degree:

Dark Blue for Philosophy Light Blue for Education White for Arts and Letters Gold-Yellow for Science Orange for Engineering Purple for Law Brown for Management

T H E C A P

The mortarboard has become the universally accepted style in colleges and universities of the United States. Many European institutions still retain distinctive forms of academic headdress.

The doctor, following graduation, has the right to wear a gold tassel on the mortarboard; black, however, is perfectly proper. The practice of varying the color of the tassel on the others has gained acceptance:

White for Arts Gold-Yellow for Science Dark Blue for Philosophy Light Blue for Education Drab Brown for Commerce Red for Technology Purple for Law Orange for Engineering

T H E H O O D

The hood at first seems to have been worn over the head and was attached to the gown. When the skullcap was introduced, the hood was retained but detached and worn much as it is today. Each degree (bachelor, master, doctor) has a special hood, which varies in length. The doctor’s also varies in pattern.

The color or colors with which the hood is lined are those of the college or university, which granted the wearer’s degree — for example, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, is known by the gold chevron on the field of royal blue. The colored velvet binding or edging of the hood, in different widths for the bachelor, master, and doctor, is the key to the faculty granting the degree. The colors follow the same scheme indicated above for the panels of the doctor’s gown. The particular field of graduate study is indicated by the color of the satin binding:

Gold for Human Factors and Systems Lemon for Engineering Physics Silver for Aeronautics Drab Brown for Business Administration,

Business Administration in Aviation Management, Aviation Finance, and Project Management

Orange for Aerospace Engineering, Cybersecurity Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Software Engineering, Unmanned and Autonomous Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, and Multidisciplinary Engineering
