BENEDICTION

Terence Keyes Assistant Professor

Darnell Dixon, Class of 2016 Alumni Award Recipient

In 2016, Darnell Dixon graduated with his Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. Darnell was a CWCF scholar recipient and obtained dean’s list status several times throughout his journey at The College of Westchester.

While at CW you could always find Darnell participating in the Caribbean Student Association, helping the Just Dance Crew, playing for the CW Warriors Basketball team, later becoming an Assistant Coach. Darnell was also one of the founders of Brother’s United, now known as Brothers and Sisters United. He was also known as the CW DJ! Anywhere you went, you could find Darnell and always with a smile on his face. Darnell was and is a true CW Warrior.

The College of Westchester was a fresh start for Darnell, which groomed him into the man he is today. Darnell says CW has taught him that it does not matter where you start, it’s how you finish. Darnell learned to be humble, disciplined, self-motivated and a go-getter while at the college.

These are things that Darnell has taken past The College of Westchester into his career at Enterprise Rent A Car. Darnell started as a management trainee, where he motivated himself to achieve goals set forth to earn his first promotion as Management Assistant in a little over a year. Darnell has been with Enterprise for over 5 years, has since received numerous promotions, and is now running his own branch as a Branch Manager with people reporting to him.

It all started with the foundation that Darnell learned at The College of Westchester. Darnell says to the graduation class today, be humble, stay disciplined, set your own goals for your career and go out and achieve them!

A special thank you to all those who made this commencement possible.

The centuries-old pageantry procession comes from ancient tradition, rooted in the early universities. The solemn procession before you this evening is the College’s way of giving depth and distinction to the commencement of these men and women.

Academic caps, gowns and hoods date back to the twelfth century, developing gradually from the long flowing robes that the teachers wore to protect themselves from the cold of the medieval buildings. Since the scholars of the time were usually clerics, their robes differed little from those used by the church orders. Slowly, certain styles were designated for the universities and these, with minor modifications, are the costumes worn today. Hoods were originally fashioned after the monk’s cowl; the mortarboard cap, with its tassels, evolved from the skull caps of the scholar-monks.

In France, where the degree program probably began, wearing the cap and gown marked the formal admission of the “licentiate” to the body of masters. In our country, caps and gowns have been used since colonial times. Columbia University, or Kings College, as it was then called, began this custom at an early date. New York University, the University of Pennsylvania and others followed, and in 1984 a commission representing the leading American colleges met to discuss academic ceremonies. A year later, the intercollegiate code was adopted. Today, more than 700 colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Turkey and others follow this code. Standard styles in caps, gowns, and hoods for Doctors, Masters and Bachelors were established.

In recent years, distinctively colored gowns have been authorized for specific schools. For example, the Columbia gown is slate gray, the New York University gown is violet, the Yale gown is blue, the Harvard gown is crimson and The City University of New York gown is navy blue. The hoods, over the shoulders and down the backs of the members of the faculty and administration, reveal the degrees and institutions of the wearers. The velvet binding or edging is distinctive of the subject to which the degree pertains. The lining of the hood, in silk, gives the color or colors of the institution granting the degree. The shortest hood is the Bachelor’s; the longest and broadest is the Doctor’s; and the Master’s is midway between these in size. In the colors of the colleges, there is much duplication and it would be useless to identify them. However, there is a standard color for the subject and the degree, indicated by the velvet edging which shows in front and over the shoulders, and the most common of these are given below:

COLOR CODE FOR HOODS

HONORS PROGRAM

CW Honors Program offers an enriched course of study for exceptional students. Eligibility is based upon performance in high school or college and a personal essay. A grade point average of 3.0 grants and maintains membership in the Honors Program.

Students accepted into the Honors Program will complete three Honors Projects while pursuing their degree. A special project, paper, or other research beyond the regular coursework outlined in the course syllabus or participation in community service can be rewarding Honors Projects.

Those students who complete the Honors Program will be recognized as Honors Scholars upon graduation. Scholars will earn and are awarded a special stole to wear at commencement and receive this fine distinction on their transcript. Having completed an Honors Program course of study is an excellent distinction on a resume as well. Being recognized as an Honors Scholar indicates intelligence, determination, and creativity, all of which are assets in achieving personal and professional goals.

BACCALAUREATE HONORS (THE HONORS RESEARCH SEMINAR)

This honors seminar is designed to introduce high-achieving bachelor-level students to research. This credit-bearing course provides select students with an opportunity to conduct original research under the supervision of a faculty researcher. Bachelor-level students will learn about the academic research process through presentations, guest lectures and research assignments. At the conclusion of the seminar, student researchers will showcase their research projects at college sponsored colloquia. Eligibility includes junior status, a minimum of a 3.5 grade point average, demonstrated research ability, and recommendations from bachelor-level faculty. Successful completion of this course will culminate in distinction at graduation.

PHI THETA KAPPA HONOR SOCIETY ΦΘΚ

Phi Theta Kappa is not only recognized as the official honor society for two-year colleges by the American Association of Community Colleges but also is the largest honor society in American higher education. Beta Pi Gamma, The College of Westchester’s chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, inducts members semi-annually, and eligibility is based on outstanding academic achievement with a minimum of a 3.5 grade point average. Membership in Phi Theta Kappa is a valuable addition to the college experience.

SIGMA BETA DELTA HONOR SOCIETY ΣΒΛ

The intent of Sigma Beta Delta Honor Society is to encourage and recognize achievement among students of business, management and administration, and to encourage and promote personal and professional improvement. Membership in Sigma Beta Delta is the highest international recognition a business student can receive at a college or university with a Sigma Beta Delta chapter. To be eligible for membership, a business student must rank in the upper 20 percent of the junior or senior class and be invited to membership by the faculty officers. Members are eligible to compete for the Society’s various annual fellowship awards.

THE COLLEGE OF WESTCHESTER CHARITABLE FOUNDATION

The College of Westchester Charitable Foundation (CWCF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that exists to raise scholarships for students. If not for the CWCF, worthy students, who are in need of a way to supplement their tuition costs, might not realize their educational goals.

The success of CWCF is the result of the commitment from our corporate community, local employers, CW employees, alumni, families, and friends. Thank you!
