Michael Martin, Ph.D.

Congratulations on this very special day celebrating a very special accomplishment! While I haven't come to know each of you as students, I do look forward to getting to know you as proud alums of Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU). Having completed your degree in our twenty-fourth year in FGCU’s history, one unlike any other, you have persevered through an unprecedented time in our nation’s history.

Everyone associated with FGCU is proud of you, not only for your success to date, but for the many successes you will achieve in the future. Commencement marks the end of, or perhaps a pause in, your formal learning. But it also marks the beginning of lifelong learning. You are fully equipped to continue to learn, to adapt and to lead a very rapidly changing world.

Please extend our thanks and yours to all who supported you and assisted you in earning a challenging and meaningful degree from FGCU. Use it with pride, humility and commitment.

Best of luck and good fortune in all you pursue. And please know you will always be part of the FGCU Eagle family. Go Eagles.

Florida Gulf Coast University President

While I am thrilled to have recently started my tenure at Florida Gulf Coast University, I regret that I didn’t get to meet many of you. In this short time, I have learned that you are a resilient group of people who are ready for anything. You are armed with a quality education and dogged determination to succeed. As you celebrate this accomplishment, don’t forget to thank the people – your family and FGCU faculty and staff – who were at your side throughout this educational journey. Congratulations on a job well done.

Alyssa Fleischer

Congratulations, fellow Eagles! I am so honored and proud to call you all graduates of Florida Gulf Coast University. You finally did it! Though we cannot all celebrate in person, know that faculty, staff, administration and the student body are celebrating your accomplishment with you. Your resilience and strength have been proven throughout your time here at FGCU, and I encourage you to remember how far you have come when life throws curveballs your way. As Maya Angelou once said, "My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness." I wish you all the very best things life has to offer and will remind you: once an Eagle, always an Eagle!

The academic costume worn today at Florida Gulf Coast University originated in the universities of the Middle Ages when a warm gown and hood were useful for scholars and clerics in unheated buildings.The distinctive gown also served to set the students apart from their fellow citizens of the community.

Until the Civil War, students at most American universities wore caps and gowns daily while in residence. These varied in design until they were standardized in 1894. At that time it was decided that all robes would be black; bachelor’s gowns of silk with long closed sleeves; master’s gowns of silk with longer sleeves; doctoral gowns of silk with longer sleeves and faced with black velvet bands around each sleeve above the

elbow. Hoods, made of the same materials as the gowns, were varied in length with the degree. The lining of the hood indicated the academic discipline in which

the degree was earned. Members of the FGCU Board of Trustees wear ceremonial gowns regardless of the degree they hold.

In the past few years, several universities have decided to return to a distinctive gown design, particularly in the color of the garment. There has been no change, however, in the standard colors that represent the disciplines.

Tassels on the caps (mortarboards) worn by the faculty may be black, or of a color indicating the degree. Those who hold a doctorate may wear a gold tassel. It is traditional for degree candidates to wear their tassels on the right and for those holding degrees to wear them on the left. Graduates transfer their tassels to the left after conferring of the degrees by the President.

Academic Hood ColorsThe color lining the hood indicates the following:

The MaceThe mace represents the University’s mission and purpose. The University’s eagle symbol identifies the Southwest Florida physical environment and the University’s environmental mission. The eagle embodies the characteristics of freedom, strength, spirit, intelligence, and grace. The upswept wings form a laurel wreath, a symbol of FGCU’s pursuit of excellence.

The original Florida Gulf Coast University mace made its debut at commencement in December 2000 and started the tradition of the Faculty Senate president as mace bearer in academic processions. The tradition of a mace bearer dates back to the Middle Ages when officials were escorted by a mace bearer during official ceremonies and court sessions.

The MedallionTraditionally, colleges and universities use medallions on ceremonial occasions. This custom dates back to the Middle Ages when religious orders used medallions to indicate affiliations and to commemorate events.

The Florida Gulf Coast University presidential medallion identifies the president as a distinguished scholar and an esteemed academic leader.

The medallion is embossed with the university seal that displays a natural scene of the sun’s rays, palm trees and the stylized eagle representing FGCU’s environmental conservation mission. The University’s pursuit of Knowledge, Truth and Wisdom is represented by the words printed on an inverted pyramid with a mortarboard at the bottom tip. The president is given the responsibility to develop and maintain an atmosphere in which these noble pursuits thrive.

The medallion is suspended from an actual chain called the chain of office. On the left side of the chain, four plates contain the names of each FGCU president in chronological order. On the right, four plates display the tenure dates of the presidents. The chain contains blank plates for future FGCU presidents to be added to the chain of office.

Where Our Wings Will Take UsMusic: Janet Johnson • Lyrics: James Lilliefors and W. Jack Crocker

Florida Gulf Coast UniversityAlma Mater

Verse One We salute our alma mater

For she gave us wings to fly We have learned the wind’s great secret

How to soar with our minds

As we wear our colors proudly Emerald green and cobalt blue

Here’s to friends and to memories Made at FGCU

Refrain So fly, fly, fly Eagles

Where our wings will take us Fly far, Fly high

Eagles fly

Verse Two Now we face a new horizon Strong of spirit, keen of eye

As we make our journey onward We will go with eagle pride

O’er the river of grass And the gulf’s azure glow

We can fly just as far As our dreams let us go!



Eagles fly

Verse Three Let us spread our wings proudly

We have learned to soar high O’er the pines and the palms

Through the glorious sky

Ride the winds of inspiration O’er this land of green and blue

Ne’er forget our alma mater Hail to FGCU



Eagles fly

CONGRATULATIONS!& Go Eagles
