University of Central Florida

UCF Stands for Opportunity in scholarship, leadership, research, and service. The university also creates opportunities for economic development, as well as community and industry collaboration. UCF is Central Florida’s higher education partner and its hometown university. The talents of UCF’s more than 217,000 alumni, more than 59,700 students, and more than 10,000 faculty and staff members have made UCF one of the nation’s leading metropolitan research universities. And UCF is committed to innovative community partnerships, world-class research with local impact, and the integration of technology and learning. The university offers 90 bachelor’s degrees, 87 master’s degrees, three specialist degrees, and 31 doctoral degrees, as well as more than 94 graduate certificate programs. To date, more than 235,400 degrees have been awarded.

The university seal, shown above, is the symbol that sets our university apart from others. As you might expect, choosing a university seal is no simple task. In UCF’s case, the job took 26 months. From the very first suggestion, submitted in early 1966, to the unveiling of the present seal, it was a task without precedent for those who were involved in the process. In the two years after the first submission, nearly 50 designs and 70 different color combinations were considered. The motto, Reach for the Stars, eventually served as the inspiration for the seal. It was first verbalized by Charter President Charles N. Millican. The phrase came to him, he recalled, when he was flying on a night that was so clear the stars sparkled. Stars were used in a variety of combinations. Pegasus, the winged horse of mythology, was added to depict both contrast and connection between old and new, the humanities and the sciences. In their search for tenets on which to launch a new experiment in higher education, the university’s founders focused on two: Accent on Excellence and Accent on the Individual. Growth notwithstanding, their successors remain committed to that end. The university’s motto, Reach for the Stars, encourages UCF’s students, faculty and staff members, and alumni to go beyond the ordinary. Indeed, extraordinary things happen in UCF’s classrooms and laboratories every day, and UCF is prominent among its peers. UCF Stands for Opportunity.

William Jefferson Clinton was the first Democratic president in six decades to be elected twice: in 1992 and again in 1996. Under his leadership, the country enjoyed the strongest economy in a generation and the longest economic expansion in United States history, including the creation of more than 22 million jobs. After leaving the White House, Clinton established the William J. Clinton Foundation with the mission to improve global health, strengthen economies, promote healthier childhoods, and protect the environment by fostering partnerships among governments, businesses, nongovernmental organizations, and private citizens to turn good intentions into measurable results. The Clinton Global Initiative, established in 2005, brings together global leaders to design and implement innovative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues. Clinton’s career has been dedicated to improving lives in the United States and throughout the world. William Jefferson Clinton was born on August 19, 1946, in Hope, Arkansas. He and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, have one daughter, Chelsea, and they live in Chappaqua, New York.

Baccalaureate Honors

Baccalaureate Honors are conferred on those students who complete a minimum of 48 semester hours at UCF and attain an overall grade point average that falls in the top 10 percent of all graduating students in the same college over the prior two-year period.

Honors are distinguished as follows:

*** summa cum laude—students in the top 2.5 percent ** magna cum laude—students in the top 5 percent but not in the top 2.5 percent

* cum laude—students in the top 10 percent but not in the top 5 percent

The asterisk (*) appears as indicated above next to the name of each graduate who may qualify for Baccalaureate Honors.

Because records for the final term are incomplete at the time the commencement program is printed and final term grades may affect relative rankings and overall GPA, indication in the program of graduation with Honors is presumptive rather than conclusive. Baccalaureate Honors list cutpoints are available at: http://www.iroffice.ucf.edu/character/honorscutpoints.html

The Commencement Ceremony and Academic Regalia

The Academic Procession has descended from religious processions that came to include teaching faculties when universities were closely associated with the medieval church. The presence of a piper in American academic processionals has become popular in recent years. The pipers for UCF’s ceremonies are David Enzfelder and Reg Lyle. The procedure followed for the awarding of degrees is based on a practice developed at the University of Paris almost 800 years ago. In those days, the bishop of Paris, like every other bishop, was responsible for local educational curriculum and degree granting. His authority in these matters, however, soon came to be disputed by the teachers. They asserted that only they could be the proper judges of the qualifications of the students. This threatened impasse was resolved by a compromise under which the teachers, or masters, judged the merits of the students and then recommended them to the bishop for their degrees. Today’s ceremony includes a secularized version of that procedure. A representative of the Faculty Senate certifies that the student candidates are qualified to receive their degrees. The president then authorizes the awarding of the degree. Academic heraldry in the form of academic dress reaches as far back as the earliest days of the oldest universities. Formal directives concerning the correct and proper wearing of academic regalia date back to the early 14th Century. In the United States, as a result of our English heritage, caps and gowns have been used since colonial times. As heraldic devices such as shields, coats of arms, and standards could identify a knight and his individual heritage, academic regalia can describe the academic origin and accomplishments of the wearer. Easily recognizable are holders of bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees. With the same glance, the trained eye may identify the university that conferred the degree as well as the individual’s field of learning. The shape and decorations of the gown are the keys to the highest degree earned by an individual. The gown for bachelor’s has long pointed sleeves and is designed to be worn closed only. The master’s gown has an oblong sleeve and is open at the wrist; the rear part of its oblong shape is square cut, and the front part has an arc cut away. The master’s gown may be worn open or closed. The doctor’s gown has bell-shaped sleeves, may be worn open or closed, and may be most readily identified by its velvet facing down the front and by three velvet chevrons on each sleeve. It is the hood, however, which is the most important and distinctive feature of American academic pageantry. Chevrons enable those attending an academic function to distinguish at a glance the wearer’s academic heritage. The bachelor’s hood, seldom seen in American academic circles, is three feet long with a two-inch edging of velvet. The master’s hood is three and one-half feet long with a three-inch edging. The doctor’s hood is four feet long with a five-inch edging. The color of the hood’s velvet edging represents the field in which the wearer earned his or her degree. Although black may be used for any area, colors denoting selected fields of learning are as follows at UCF and American universities: all Ph.D.s are edged in dark blue, while professional doctorates, such as the Ed.D., are edged in the color of professional discipline. The hoods used by American colleges and universities are lined with silk in the official academic colors of the institution that conferred the degree. UCF graduates, for example, will wear hoods with linings of black and gold. Generally, a school’s academic colors are identical to its athletic colors. The academic regalia you see before you today can be traced directly back to the beginnings of the oldest colleges and universities. In 1885, there occurred a widespread student movement in America to wear caps and gowns at commencement ceremonies. The graduating students seemed to feel a need for significant and dignified apparel for the occasion. By 1895, widespread adoption of a uniform code by 95 percent of colleges and universities in the country gave America its own distinct academic regalia. However, at any academic gathering, there usually appear regalia which cannot be fathomed by these guidelines. Some of these may be from foreign universities; others are from those American institutions that have preferred to remain with the European tradition of allowing each school to determine its own costume. The result is the academic regalia you see before you today. The colors of the master hoods are as follows:

College Gonfalons The gonfalon originated in the medieval state of Italy as an ensign of the state of office. The UCF gonfalons designate the university seal, the various colleges, and the core values of The UCF Creed. The colors of the university, black and gold, are joined together in a UCF star common to all colleges.

The University Mace During the Middle Ages, the mace was an effective weapon in battle, but as newer and more powerful military arms developed, it was transformed into a symbol of authority. The earliest ceremonial maces were borne by bodyguards of 12th Century English and French kings. By the end of the 16th Century, they were used widely by officials of English cities and towns. Today, the ceremonial mace is found in the British Houses of Parliament and is frequently carried in ecclesiastical processions and in university convocations and commencement ceremonies. The mace incorporates two symbols identified with the University of Central Florida. The top is cast in the shape of the star found over the Pegasus in the UCF emblem. Inside the star is a reproduction of the “Flame of Hope” sculpture near the UCF library. The mace is cast in bronze with three bronze UCF emblems inlaid at the crest of the rosewood staff. The center of the staff is engraved with the names of the presidents of UCF. The creation of UCF’s mace was a collective effort by UCF art Professor Jagdish Chavda, sculptor David Cambia, and wood craftsman David Conway.

The Presidential Medallion The gold medallion worn by the university president at formal and ceremonial occasions marks the president as a distinguished scholar and administrator, the highest officer of the university, and one who strives to uphold the twin tenets established by its founders: Accent on the Individual and Accent on Excellence. The medallion is embossed with the university seal showing the mythical Pegasus ascending toward a single heavenly star and the motto, Reach for the Stars. The seal serves as a visible reminder to each member of the university community to strive to reach individual goals. The president has been entrusted to maintain and develop an atmosphere in which these creeds can be realized. The presidential position represented by the medallion epitomizes the foundations and aspirations of the university that the president has pledged to uphold. As the only university official who can formally award a degree, the president recognizes the graduates for meeting the standards of excellence set by the university and for reaching the point from which new ventures begin. From the presentation of the first medallion in 1968 to charter President Charles Millican to the one worn today, the Presidential Medallion has remained a symbol of academic leadership and the legacy of those pioneers who launched a unique experiment in higher education.
