A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Graduates,

Congratulations on this tremendous accomplishment! On behalf of the entire Drake community, I commend you on this culmination of your academic achievements, and celebrate the beginning of a new stage in your lives. It is with great pleasure that I welcome you into the esteemed ranks of our alumni and send you forth into a world that is much in need of your talents, leadership, and service.

I realize that your final weeks as a Drake student have been unusual and challenging. While there is reason for angst, there is even more that gives us hope. It is that spirit of hope—the drive to create positive change in the world and the compassion to make a difference in the lives of others—that defines what it means to be a Bulldog and, in many ways, unites the Class of 2020.

Throughout your time at Drake, I have had the privilege to come to know many of you. I have been inspired by your intellect, admired the countless ways you serve, marveled at your talents on the stage, and watched you compete on the court or field. I have no doubt you are going to make this world a better place.

One of the most powerful things about this institution is its people. You are joining a distinguished network of 74,000 alumni worldwide who are devoted to making an impact, and now it is your turn. A Drake degree sets you apart. It will propel and serve you for the rest of your life.

Congratulations to our newest alumni—go forth and make a difference.

Sincerely,

Marty Martin President

COMMENCEMENT TRADITION

The Blue Tassel Traditionally, graduates’ caps are adorned with a tassel, in which the color of the tassel denotes the discipline. In 2020, at a time when the world faces unprecedented challenges, and for the first time in University history, all graduates will receive a commemorative blue tassel with their diploma.

The blue tassel is a symbol of unity and hope. It acknowledges the sacrifices and hurdles the Class of 2020 has overcome to ensure the well-being of our community, while also celebrating the pivotal role they will play in rethinking and reshaping the future.

The blue tassel captures the resilient spirit of the Class of 2020 and its mantra: “We are all in this together.” The tassel will forever be an extraordinary reminder of the Class of 2020’s collective strength and desire to better the world.

The Ceremonial Mace Since the Middle Ages, the mace has been used in the courts by rulers to signify their power and authority. When placed on the rostrum, it indicated that the governing body was in formal session.

The ceremonial mace is carried by a mace bearer or by the beadle, an official in the British university who leads the academic procession. The symbol has been adopted in American higher education and is carried by the marshal of the University at official academic convocations.

The ceremonial mace was carried in the academic procession of Drake’s annual commencement ceremony for the first time in 1983. The mace and stand were created by Professor Emeritus Condon Kuhl, then professor of art at Drake University. The mace is handcrafted from ebony and overlaid and appointed with silver. It measures two and one-half feet in length and weighs about five pounds.
