Roger Mandle Doctor of Humane Letters honoris causa Roger Mandle, as a visionary for what lies ahead and a curator of what has gone before, you link the past, present and future for the benefit of all. Believing that every advancement of humanity has come from the intersection of art, design and technology, you convey your passion for educational leadership by inspiring and engaging students and citizens alike in your quest to broaden perspectives. An educator, art historian and leader of major cultural institutions, you have left your imprint across the globe. Beginning in the Midwest, your dedication to artistry and preservation brought you to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Persian Gulf nation of Qatar, and back to the United States, where you now collaborate in the creation of alternative models of art and design institutions and online education. Through your commitment to innovation, you ensure that the past is not forgotten even while forging the future for communities near and far. Whether envisioning a new and dynamic economy for East coast cities through the Massachusetts Design Art & Technology Institute, or building the framework and governance for cultural institutions and museums in Qatar, you seek to galvanize people to become connected and involved. Your prolific 15-year tenure as president of the Rhode Island School of Design impacted countless creative minds and launched new academic and museum programs as well as a revitalized urban campus incorporating renovated historic buildings in downtown Providence. Among your many roles in volunteer service, as president of the Newport Restoration Foundation board of directors you ensure that the vision of founder Doris Duke is realized in the many programs and presentations that connect the public to the City-by-the-Sea’s lively and diverse history. Generous with your time and talent, your involvement in both the nonprofit and for-profit sectors is significant and varied, from the Rhode Island Independent Higher Education Association and Providence Foundation to the boards of Maine Media Workshops + College and Williams College Museum of Art. For sharing your expertise and curiosity throughout the decades and for your leadership in art and design education, preservation and restoration, Salve Regina University is pleased to bestow upon you, Roger Mandle, the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa, with all its attendant rights and privileges, on this twentieth day of May 2018.

Hope H. van Beuren Doctor of Humane Letters honoris causa Hope van Beuren, you have been a gracious and benevolent force, guiding and supporting your community, your family and your many friends throughout your long, generous life. Nicknamed “Happy� in childhood, you have brought joy and an appreciation of beauty and balance to all who have known you. Like Catherine McAuley, founder of the Sisters of Mercy, you chose to use the advantages of your birthright in compassionate outreach to the community as you transformed possibilities into philanthropic opportunity. Upon your 1954 wedding to John Archbold van Beuren, you became partners in every sense, embarking on life’s adventures, from married life shared on an army base, to the delights of raising a family to be proud of, to the establishment of the van Beuren Charitable Foundation. Your leadership through the Foundation has created impact and inspired collaboration among the many area organizations that steward the grant-funding generously provided. Your genuine interest in the well-being of the people of the Aquidneck Island region has blessed you with insight into the dynamic civic integration of health, education, and the aesthetics of landscape and the built environment. That insight is the foundation for your thoughtful support of projects that nurture and advance the whole community. Whether digging a garden bed, raising funds for the Casino Theatre at the International Tennis Hall of Fame, or advising on a board or committee, your commitment is wholehearted and determined and you infuse each activity with rare personal grace. In your children, you have inspired confidence, purpose and dedication to shared values. Together with your beloved sister, you shared a common vision of generously improving the larger community. With your devoted friends across the generations, you have shared your loyalty, counsel, positive encouragement and much laughter. To those benefiting from charitable grants, you have offered judicious advice, partnership and support. For your wise and progressive leadership in the Newport County community, for your generosity to this institution, and for the gracious embrace of your friendship, Hope van Beuren, Salve Regina University is pleased and honored to bestow upon you the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa, with all its attendant rights and privileges, on this twentieth day of May 2018.

Academic Regalia When universities were taking form in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, they were under the jurisdiction of the Church. Most of those studying were clerks in Holy Orders, monks, or priests. They wore a habit or cloak, to which was attached a cowl or hood. This could be pulled up over the head or thrown back, according to the weather. Gowns were necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings, and hoods served to cover the tonsured head before the use of the skull cap. Today, the academic costume of cap, gown and hood has taken on a symbolic meaning. Colors and shapes conform to a generally accepted code and indicate the faculty conferring the degree and the kind of degree conferred. Gowns for the bachelor’s degree are worn closed and are distinguished by their long, pointed sleeves. Master’s degree gowns are designed to be worn open. They have very long sleeves, oblong in shape. Gowns for the doctoral degree, usually black, are also designed to be worn open and have velvet panels. Three velvet bars are stitched to the upper part of the full, bellshaped sleeves. Hoods are trimmed with a slim strip of velvet to indicate the specific faculty awarding the degree. The colored lining is the official color of the institution conferring the degree. Hoods may be trimmed to represent the following academic areas:
Arts, Letters, Humanities................... White Business Administration........ Light Brown Education....................................Light Blue Fine Arts............................................Brown Musical Arts..........................................Pink Philosophy..................................Dark Blue Science................................Golden Yellow Theology...........................................

Honor Cords Students at Salve Regina University who have distinguished themselves through academic performance wear honor cords of these colors: Gold — Summa Cum Laude Blue — Magna Cum Laude White — Cum Laude
The Mace The mace and its bearer represent a custom that dates back to the Middle Ages. From the sixteenth century in England and since colonial days in America, it has become a symbol of office carried by the procession leader. In the academic world, the mace signifies teaching authority. The Salve Regina University mace was designed by Rhode Island sculptor Paul A. Cavanagh as an octagonal, formalized flower. The staff of ebony represents lignum vitae — the tree of life. A circle of eight rigid geometric forms of silver, peaked with pyramids of lapis lazuli, are representative of the Virtues. The Intellectual and Moral Virtues enable one to lead a fruitful and good life. The extending leaves of blossom deriving from the silver forms are symbolic of one’s development in the world. An inner circle of leaves, in close embrace with the central form, and pistil-like cruciform with crown, suggest one’s development in love of Christ and the cross.
The President’s Medallion The sterling silver medallion worn by the University President at all formal academic functions symbolizes the leadership and authority of the institution’s highest office. Handcrafted by John Cavanagh, the design is based on the University shield, which symbolizes the commitment of the Sisters of Mercy to Salve Regina University, the dedication to learning by all members of the Salve Regina community, and the unending search for wisdom that flows from the knowledge of the liberal scholar. Each link of the chain is a “Mercy Cross,” with a crown superimposed over the face of each cross.
