Dr. Jane Gerety, RSM Doctor of Humane Letters honoris causa With grace, compassion, integrity and kindness, you, Dr. Jane Gerety, Religious Sister of Mercy and president of Salve Regina, have perpetuated this University’s place of distinction in higher education. Throughout a decade of extraordinary leadership, your vision and faith have inspired all to engage in conversation and Mercy in order to better ourselves and one another. Drawn by the strength, independence and intellect of the Sisters of Mercy who shaped your own education, you entered religious life empowered by Catherine McAuley’s belief that Mercy calls for action. Your ministry in the fields of education and health care, two of Catherine’s most enduring passions, reflects her determination in serving with purpose and empathy. From your first days as an educator in Maryland and Alabama to the Dean’s office at Carlow University and your presidency at Salve Regina, you have ignited curiosity and challenged students to reach ever higher, all the while touching their hearts with your genuine care and belief in what can be achieved. In your service with St. Joseph’s Health System, you infused keen strategy with abiding compassion for the benefit of patients and caregivers alike. As Pope Francis affirmed, Mercy is the primary way in which we receive the Lord and give Him to others. You embody the spiritual and corporal works of Mercy; they are your compass, and, without hesitation, you answer their call to action, always with a spirit of generosity and hope. You love, and are loved by, the Salve Regina community. Your connection to people, and genuine interest in their well-being, welcomes friendship and sharing, just as you share yourself with those around you. A familiar face across campus, students look to you for a smile, a word of encouragement, an inquiry as to how they are faring, or your customary cone of frozen yogurt in hand to assure that all is well with the world. Named as one of our nation’s top Irish Americans, your heritage shines in your eloquence and love of language. The wonder of words radiates in the poetry that you share, the stories you tell and the philosophers you quote, leaving your listeners heartened and inspired. Borrowing an epitaph from your beloved Yeats, “In dreams begins responsibility.” Through your student-centered focus, our campus is a place where innovation and inspiration collide; where faculty and students dare to dream and to imagine what has yet to be. With significant attention to scholarships, you have eased the financial burden for so many who yearn for an education steeped in the ideals of our founders and who embrace the quest for harmony, justice and Mercy. Our beloved Sister Jane, we are forever grateful for your leadership and your friendship. Students have been blessed by your wisdom and encouragement, as you listened and advocated, commended and advised. So, too, have the faculty and staff whose mission, like yours, is to witness each student cross the very stage on which you now stand. You, Sister Jane Gerety, president of Salve Regina, have made a difference. For your dedication to our campus community, our students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends, and to the enduring vision and ideals of the Religious Sisters of Mercy, 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 nineteenth day of May 2019.

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 Nursing............................................. Apricot Philosophy..................................Dark Blue Science................................Golden Yellow Theology........................................... Scarlet

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.
