About The Speaker THE HONORABLE KENNETH T. WELCH Alumnus, Mayor of St. Petersburg, Florida

On January 6, Kenneth T. Welch was sworn in as the 54th mayor of St. Petersburg, Florida making history as the first Black mayor. Growing up in the Gas Plant area, Ken worked summers and after school on his grandfather’s woodyard that sat on property later displaced by the interstate. His father was a city council member who helped lay the foundation for St. Petersburg’s resurgence. Ken saw first-hand the uprooting of hundreds of businesses, homes, and churches for what eventually became Tropicana Field. He also saw the unfulfilled promises of jobs and economic development in return for that sacrifice. After receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree from USFSP and MBA from Florida A&M University, Ken returned to St. Petersburg as an accountant for the Florida Power Corporation. He also served as technology manager for his father’s small accounting firm. After years of community service, Ken became the first Commissioner elected to represent County Commission District 7 in St. Petersburg, only the second African American commissioner in the history of Pinellas County. Ken proudly served on the County Commission for 20 years, where he brought a focus to the issues of economic development, transportation, equity, housing, criminal justice reform and fighting poverty. As commissioner, he also led the adoption of the countywide Adult Pre-Arrest Diversion program, the increase in the minimum wage for county employees to $12.50 an hour, the county's adoption of workplace and housing protections for the LGBTQ community, and the county's local investment of more than $100 million for affordable and workforce housing. As chair of the Pinellas Tourism Development Council, he represented the county at international tourism conferences in London and Berlin. As commission chair, he joined regional leaders to represent the county in Mexico City in 2018 as a part of the Global Tampa Bay initiative. In 2020, Ken Welch led a strong, science-based response to COVID-19 in Pinellas County - including beach closures, a Safer-At-Home ordinance and a countywide mask ordinance. As a strong voice for public health, he was invited to join Chris Cuomo on CNN to discuss the Pinellas County response to COVID on a day when Mr. Cuomo noted that multiple Florida officials refused the invitation to appear on television to speak on the deadly pandemic. As chair of the Pinellas County Complete County Committee for the 2020 Census, Welch led the committee's two years of collaboration, resulting in the highest census response rate in the Tampa Bay area, and second-highest of any large urban county in Florida. A third generation St. Pete resident, Ken lives in St. Petersburg today with his wife of 30 years, Donna, and their two daughters.

Honorary Doctorate Recipient WILLIAM F. PICKARD, PH.D.

Chairman of Global Automotive Alliance; Co-Managing Partner, MGM Grand Detroit Casino; CEO, Bearwood Management Company; and Co-Owner of Five Black-Owned Newspapers Dr. William F. “Bill” Pickard has been blazing trails across the American business landscape for more than four decades. A native Georgian who moved to Michigan as a boy, Dr. Pickard is the Chairman and Chief Executive of GAA Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management, GAA New Ventures, and Bearwood Management, a Co-Managing Partner of MGM Grand Detroit Casino, and the co-owner of five black-owned newspapers. Dr. Pickard is a lifelong advocate for equal opportunity and minority small business development, ranking among the most influential African American business leaders of our generation. After completing his doctorate at The Ohio State University, Dr. Pickard purchased the first of his McDonald’s franchise, and an entrepreneurial powerhouse was launched. Dr. Pickard pivoted to another line of business after a meeting with Henry Ford II, who urged him to shift his focus from owning car dealerships to becoming a supplier to Ford Motor Company. Dr. Pickard invested in several minority firms that supplied the auto industry, eventually consolidating them into what would become the Global Automotive Alliance. Within a few years, GAA experienced sales in excess of $200 million, becoming the first minority supplier to serve the Big Three Automakers. GAA has grown to be one of the largest minority-owned businesses in the country. Since its inception in 1989, GAA has generated more than $5 billion dollars in sales, with eight plants in the U.S. and Canada, and services corporations such as Boeing, Mercedes Benz, Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, Delphi, Johnson Controls, Starbucks, The Home Depot and Merck Pharmaceutical. Dr. Pickard utilized his business platform to engage in his passions – hiring and promoting minorities, helping minority small businesses grow through joint ventures and partnerships, and mentoring emerging small business owners while nurturing them to sustainability. Dr. Pickard is also the author of a best-selling book entitled Millionaire Moves – Seven Proven Principles of Entrepreneurship that is required reading for entrepreneurs and business leaders. He lectures extensively at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, sharing the story of his journey and inspiring the next generation of business owners. He is the recipient of countless awards and honors – presented by US Presidents, business and civic organizations and national publications – and has served on the Boards of Directors of many companies, non-profits, banks and business development agencies. Dr. Pickard is a dedicated philanthropist who has made major donations to causes nationwide, including the National Museum of African American History and Culture and his undergraduate alma mater, Western Michigan University, where a facility was built that bears his name. Perhaps Dr. Pickard’s most enduring legacy is a companywide internship program that allows him to recruit and develop the next generation of leaders in plastics manufacturing, while pursuing his passion for mentoring small business people and helping them to thrive.

Florida A&M University Commencement Exercises

The Academic Attire The academic attire, which makes an inaugural procession colorful, is as old as universities. The attire represents eight centuries of a continuous tradition; it is not a modern revival of medieval customs. It goes back to the days when students were “clerks” – that is, members of the minor clergy – and wore monkish gowns and hoods. In those days of unheated study halls and garret sleeping quarters, the hoods served a very practical purpose. When the hood was pulled over the head, the “tippet,” a sort of hollow tail, served as a convenient pocket. Today, the hood is only an adornment. The mortarboard, which seems to have evolved from the square biretta of Renaissance churchmen, came into use after the hood had ceased to be worn on the head. The tassel on the mortarboard may be either black or the “color of the faculty” – as described below; or for the holder of a doctorate degree, it may be of gold. Many universities replace the mortarboard with their own distinctive headgear. Both the gown and the hood indicate the degree held by the wearer. The gown for the bachelor’s degree has pointed sleeves. Bachelor’s hoods have only recently become a part of the attire in the United States. In the master’s gown, the wearer’s arm projects from the sleeve at the elbow, or, in the more modern gowns, at the wrist, and the lower part of the sleeve, ending in another tippet, dangles below the arm. The doctor’s gown has bell-shaped sleeves. Bachelor’s and master’s gowns have no trimmings, but the doctor’s gown is faced down the front with velvet and has three velvet cross-bars on each sleeve. This velvet may be either black or the color of the faculty members’ discipline. Graduates of some institutions, on all continents, may wear gowns in the color of the university that awarded their degree, for instance, orange and green for Florida A&M University. In the United States, the hood is edged with velvet in the color of the faculty and lined with the colors of the university conferring the degree. For all academic purposes, trimmings of the doctor’s gowns, edgings of hoods and tassels of caps, adhere to the colors for the different subjects as indicated: College of Agriculture and Food Sciences - Maize; College of Education - Light Blue; FAMU-FSU College of Engineering - Orange; College of Law - Purple; College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Forest Green; College of Science and Technology - Bright Gold; College of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities - White; School of Allied Health Sciences - Olive; School of Architecture and Engineering Technology Lilac; School of Business and Industry - Drab; School of Journalism and Graphic Communication - Crimson; School of Nursing - Apricot; School of the Environment - Light Gold; Doctor of Philosophy - Royal Blue; Doctor of Physical Therapy – Sage Green; Doctor of Public Health - Salmon

The Ceremonial Mace Symbolizing the authority vested in the president by the University’s governing body, the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University Ceremonial Mace is made of bright gold plated bronze and mahogany wood. The shaft of the mace bearing the seal of the University is made of bright gold plated bronze, double-sided medal surrounded with orange and emerald green Swarovski crystals around the outer edge upon a six inch diameter chrome plated polished mace head with clear Swarovski crystals around the circumference. Ten gold plated engraved nameplates featuring the names of each university president are mounted on a 2-inch diameter mahogany baton. A 1.5 inch mahogany wood staff with wood and chrome plated polished aluminum turnings separates the rest of the baton from its base. The baton is made of mahogany, which symbolizes the trees of knowledge, which adorn the campus of the University. The overall length of the mace is 30 inches long. At the very base of the mace is a gold plated brass “Rattler”, the symbol of the University. Its coiled posture represents the fact that although the dark clouds may surround the horizon, the “Rattler” will strike, strike, and strike again!

The Presidential Medallion and Chain of Office Dating to medieval times, the Presidential Medallion and Chain of Office signify the symbol of authority vested in the President as head of the University. The current chain is approximately 36 inches long and is made of gold plated bronze. It features ten 1-3/4 inch gold plated sculpted engravings of each president from 1887 to the present. Under each sculpted model are ten banner link engravings inscribed with the names of each president and his term of office. At the base of the chain is the Presidential Medallion, which features the seal of the University.
