AWARDING OF HONORARY DEGREES DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERS

Faith Ringgold Professor Emeritus, Visual Arts University of California, San Diego Citation by

Lynne D. Richardson, MD Professor and Vice Chair, Department of Emergency Medicine Professor of Population Health Science and Policy Co-Director, Institute for Health Equity Research Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Faith Ringgold, trailblazing artist, writer, teacher, and luminary. You are one of the most celebrated and influential artists and cultural figures of your generation, having dedicated your life’s work to linking the work of Black artists of yesterday to Black artists of today, radically exploring gender and racial identities, and amplifying the struggles for social justice and equity. You were born in Harlem in 1930 and received your bachelor’s and master’s degrees in visual art from the City College of New York in 1955 and 1959. During the 1960s, you traveled throughout Europe and studied African art, creating your first political paintings, The American People series, and were highlighted with solo art shows at the influential Spectrum Gallery in New York. Your art career evolved in the 1970s when you began making tankas, soft sculptures, and masks inspired by Tibetan textile art and when you traveled to Nigeria and Ghana to learn about the rich traditions of masks, which continued to be your greatest artistic influence. You later integrated the textile medium into your powerful mask performance art in the 1970s and 1980s. You are, perhaps, best known for your groundbreaking and experimental “story quilts,” which are considered to be among the most important artworks of the past fifty years. In 1980, you made your first quilt, Echoes of Harlem, in collaboration with your mother, Madame Willi Posey. Soon after, you incorporated text and words into your quilt art, which developed into a unique medium and style all of your own. Your story quilt art became internationally renowned for challenging accepted hierarchies of art versus craft and for combining local traditions and global references to express a complex American history and experience. In the 1990s, you began writing, illustrating, and publishing children’s books that won numerous awards, including the Caldecott Honor and the Coretta Scott King award for the best-illustrated children’s book of the year. You have also published a number of books for adults. You are now Professor Emeritus of Art at the University of California San Diego and the recipient of many prestigious national and international awards for visual art, performance art, teaching, writing, and lecturing, as well as 23 honorary doctorates.

2022 COMMENCEMENT

Faith Ringgold, for six decades, you have drawn from personal experience and collective history to create some of the most radical and indelible works of the 20th century, producing a body of work that has influenced generations of artists and that has created urgency in our national consciousness around the need for political and social change. Your work is as relevant and essential now as it was four decades ago and will undoubtedly remain so forever. It is an honor to confer upon you the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, Honoris Causa.

2022 COMMENCEMENT

ACADEMIC REGALIA The caps and gowns worn by the participants in today’s Commencement exercises are patterned after the attire of scholars in the Middle Ages, when a warm gown and hood were needed for study in unheated buildings. While European institutions continue to show great diversity in their academic costume, an Intercollegiate Commission met in 1895 to standardize the style and color for robes and hoods to be worn at colleges and universities of the United States. Since then the costume code has been revised and clarified several times by the American Council on Education, most recently in 1986. The governing force, however, is tradition tracing back to the academic symbols of the Middle Ages. Black gowns were originally recommended for all degrees at all institutions, with the style of the gown denoting the degree: pointed sleeves for Bachelor’s, long closed sleeves for Master’s, and full, round sleeves for the Doctor’s degrees. In addition, the Doctor’s gown was to be faced in black velvet down the front and with three bars of the same velvet across the sleeves. Some universities have begun to adopt more colorful robes. The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai robe is blue; other colors currently in use are violet for New York University, slate gray for Columbia, crimson for Harvard, blue for Yale. Much information is represented by the colors of hoods worn by holders of doctoral and master’s degrees. The colors of the interior lining of the hood are those of the institution from which the degree was earned. The hood is bordered in velvet in a color that signifies the discipline of the degree: In the case of the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree, the dark blue color is used to represent the mastery of the discipline of learning and scholarship in any field and is not intended to solely represent the field of philosophy. Members of the Board of Trustees at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai wear a specially designed costume.

SOCIAL ADAGES “Building a Better Future” “Education is Empowerment” “Love Over Hate” “Representation Matters”

2022 COMMENCEMENT

OATH FOR DOCTORAL CANDIDATES With my Doctor of Philosophy, I willingly pledge to uphold the highest levels of integrity, professionalism, scholarship and honor. I will conduct my research and professional endeavors with honesty and objectivity. I will apply the highest standards of rigor and respect for the generation and application of knowledge, and fully acknowledge the contributions of others. I will not allow financial gain or ambition to cloud my judgment or decision-making nor cause harm to society or subjects of research. I will embark on the furthering of knowledge through respectful interaction and collaboration with my colleagues and community, without prejudice or exclusion. I will be a role model, and use my skills to inspire, mentor and empower future generations, instilling in them the highest principles of ethical behavior. As witnessed by all present today, and in the tradition of Graduates before me, I do affirm to uphold these guiding principles.

2022 COMMENCEMENT

OATH FOR MEDICAL DEGREE CANDIDTES MODIFIED HIPPOCRATIC OATH I swear by whatever I hold most sacred, to keep, according to my ability and judgment, the following oath: To consider dear to me as my parents those who taught me this art, to live in common with them and if necessary to share my goods with them, to look upon their children as my own brothers and sisters, to teach them this art if they so desire without fee or written promise, to impart to my sons and daughters and the children of the masters who taught me and the disciples who have enrolled themselves and have agreed to the rules of the profession, but to these alone, the precepts and the instruction. I will prescribe regimen for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone. To please no one will I prescribe a deadly drug, nor give advice which may cause their death. But I will preserve the purity of my life and my art. I will not cut for stone, even for patients in whom the disease is manifest. I will leave this operation to be performed by practitioners (specialists in this art). In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing. All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or outside of my profession or in daily commerce with people, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal. If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all in all times, but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot. The Hippocratic Oath has served for many centuries as the ethical guide of the medical profession. It appears in writing attributed to the famous Greek physician Hippocrates of Cos, who lived in the Fifth century B.C., and is generally regarded as the “father of medicine” The administering of the oath to the graduating medical students a senior member of the medical faculty is a longstanding tradition. The oath has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the Class of 1974.
