Scottsdale Community College 53rd Annual Commencement Program

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Scottsdale Community College (SCC) credits the diverse Indigenous people still connected to the land on which we gather. Our college resides on the tribal territory of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRP-MIC). SRP-MIC is a federally recognized nation — one of 22 Arizona Indigenous nations and one of 574 across the United States. Attached to this physical space is a painful history of forced removal and the resulting intentional genocide of its Indigenous people. We remain appreciative of our ability to teach, learn and serve in a space of such importance and reverence.

SCC acknowledges the land on which we are situated today as the traditional land and home, established by Executive Order on June 14, 1879, of two distinct tribal nations: the Onk Akimel O’odham (Pima) and the Xalychidom Piipaash (Maricopa) people. We take this opportunity to thank the original caretakers of this land. We offer our respect to their Elders and to all O’odham and Piipaash people of the past, present and future.

ACADEMIC ATTIRE

The custom of wearing distinctive dress for academic ceremonies goes back to the Middle Ages when people dressed in keeping with their class: nobility, clergy, or third estate. The clergy were the literate class; hence, early academic costume was that of the Church. A heavy and dark gown was worn at all times. Hoods were also necessary during European winters because the buildings where scholars lived, studied and taught were cold.

Oxford, Cambridge and some of the Scottish universities still require students to wear a gown, both on and off the university premises, as do two or three small church-related American universities. In general, however, academic costume is worn in the US by persons taking part in ceremonies: commencement exercises – and, at various inauguration ceremonies, such as the installation of a president, the conferring of an honorary degree on a distinguished guest, or the laying of the cornerstone of a building. Also, some Protestant clergymen wear academic costume in the pulpit.

The Bachelor of Arts degree is recognized by a solid gown, often black, closed in front and with long sleeves. The gown of a Master of Arts graduate is also usually solid and has long sleeves with a short slit near the elbow to free the hand and forearm. Generally, the Doctor’s gown has velvet panels five inches wide extending down the front edges to the bottom. There are also three horizontal velvet bars on each sleeve. Panels and bars are often the gown’s color but may be of the color indicating the field of study in which the degree is granted.

The square mortar board is worn for most degrees. Bachelor/Associate of Arts students start the ceremony with the tassel on the right side and will be asked to move it to the left side, signifying their official graduation. Tassels can range in color from that of the gown to that of the field of study to that of the institution.

The greatest degree of symbolism is shown by the hood. The Master’s hood is typically of black material, and it is three-and-one-half feet long with a three-inch velvet border. The lining is typically in the color or colors of the institution. The Doctoral hood is four feet long with a five-inch velvet border that can also be lined with the colors of the institution granting the degree. The border of the hood designates the area of specialty such as white for Arts, light blue for Education, dark blue for Philosophy, and scarlet for Divinity.

Although the styles of academic regalia have changed over the centuries, the pageantry involved in academic ceremonies lends dignity to these solemn occasions. Here at SCC, additional designation is given to students graduating with a specific GPA (white cord, 3.5 – 3.69 GPA; red cord, 3.7 – 3.89 GPA; blue cord, 3.9 – 4.0 GPA); Veteran students (red and white stole); Honors students (green medallion); Phi Theta Kappa students (gold stoles and tassels); and DECA students (blue and white cord). Regalia received at Maricopa Convocations may also be worn with SCC regalia.
