Academic Regalia

The pageantry and color of an academic convocation such as today’s Commencement come to us from early medieval times, when academic robes and regalia were adapted from ecclesiastical garb Most robes were black to symbolize the democracy of scholarship, since they covered any dress indicating rank or social standing .

Three levels of academic achievement are represented by different types of gowns today Successful completion of the bachelor’s degree is symbolized by the bachelor’s gown, made of black material with long, pointed sleeves The master’s gown is black and is identified by its oblong sleeve, square at the end and sealed Master’s degree recipients receive a hood edged in a color representing their degree: white for master of arts in liberal studies, higher education leadership, professional and creative writing, organizational leadership and sports leadership; light blue for education and instructional coaching; drab for business administration, financial management and human resource management; Rhodes blue for occupational therapy; and sage for athletic training

Although some universities prescribe a solid color such as red or green for doctoral gowns, most in the United States are black Doctoral gowns have vertical stripes of velvet trim on each front facing, and crossbars of velvet on the sleeves This trim may be black, or it may match the edging of the hood, which indicates the profession or field of major interest These gowns have bellshaped sleeves

The length and shape of the academic hood, and the width of its velvet edging, identify the level of the degree the wearer has earned, while the color of the velvet edging indicates the field or discipline in which the degree was granted .

Because members of the North Central College faculty completed their graduate work at many different educational institutions in this country and abroad, there will be a variety of raiment in today’s procession Some degree holders wear no hood because their academic robe itself symbolizes the degree awarded For formal processions, members of North Central’s Board of Trustees wear doctoral gowns and hoods with a red and white lining to represent the College The gown worn by Interim President Donna Carroll has a fourth crossbar of velvet on the sleeves, an honor granted only to the one who holds the rank of President of the College .

Caps, generally mortarboards with tassels, have their own significance Some international degree holders wear special hats distinctive to their degree and institution Master’s and bachelor’s tassels are black, while the doctorate tassel may be black or gold Undergraduate students wearing gold tassels on their caps today are graduating with honors—cum laude, magna cum laude or summa cum laude .

Seal & Presidential Medal

The North Central College seal was designed in 1925 for Pfeiffer Hall to symbolize North Central’s early academic tradition: religion, signified by the lamp, and learning, represented by the book The words “lux” and “veritas” mean “light” and “truth” in Latin .

The seal is featured on the presidential medallion, which is worn by the president in ceremonies involving academic regalia . The medallion reflects the president’s authority, responsibility and role as representative of the campus community Cast in bronze, the medal is inscribed with the names and service dates of the College’s previous presidents

International Participants

Sashes embroidered with international flags are being worn by students who have studied abroad while enrolled at North Central College In addition, the flags next to the stage represent the home countries of international undergraduate students who are graduating today and countries where graduates studied abroad .

Burundi

China
