Winter 2021 Commencement Program by University of New Haven

COMMENCEMENT DECEMBER 12, 2021

Congratulations, to the University of New Haven Graduates! The University of New Haven’s focus on experiential learning — hands-on experience artfully combined with classroom instruction — enables graduates to move effortlessly into professional careers. Our time-honored embrace of this philosophy has paved a path for thousands of graduates to successfully navigate lives in the arts, engineering, business, music, healthcare, public safety, and more, at the same time contributing to the greater good in innumerable ways. The writer and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn,” and that concept, that the smallest idea can grow exponentially, is embodied in a University of New Haven education, which cultivates in equal parts the excitement of discovery, the encouragement of imagination, and the confidence to execute ideas. This year, 407 undergraduate and 500 graduate degree candidates reached a singular milestone in their educational journeys. They have achieved expertise in their chosen areas of study and have shown the promise of many more successes in the future. We honor their intellectual achievements, congratulate them on their efforts, and bid them good fortune in the years ahead.

HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT & COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER

Samuel Sorbello, Jr. Doctor of Humane Letters

Samuel J. Sorbello, Jr. was founder, president, and CEO of Atlantic Coast Freezers until his recent retirement. His son Jeff is now CEO and president of the company that is a worldwide leader in refrigerated services and storage that features more than 4.1 million cubic feet of refrigeration space in Vineland, New Jersey. The business grew out of Sorbello’s late father’s groundbreaking cold storage business venture in southern New Jersey. A longstanding University of New Haven benefactor, Sorbello supported the development of the Colleen Sorbello Research Laboratory, a state-of-the-art research laboratory that honors his late wife, who succumbed to breast cancer in 2017. The 800-square-foot space on the third floor of Dodds Hall, which was dedicated in October 2018 as part of the University’s commemoration of National Breast Cancer Awareness month, features 16 working stations, cutting-edge equipment, and a space for lectures and discussions. The collaborative space enables students and faculty members to engage in important research in areas such as breast cancer, cervical cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. As part of a Fall 2018 philanthropy challenge, Sorbello matched all gifts made to the University’s Colleen Sorbello Breast Cancer Research Fund. He also funds

the University’s Colleen Sorbello Memorial Breast Cancer Research Award, which annually supports a student pursuing breast cancer research. Along with his family and friends, Sorbello started Pink Clover: The Colleen Sorbello Breast Cancer Research Foundation to honor his late wife’s legacy. He serves as chairman of the foundation that provides research, education, and comfort for women who are battling breast cancer. Since its founding, it has raised more than $400,000 and helped 19 women through its Direct Comfort Recipient Program. In addition to its relationship with the University, the foundation has collaborated with Penn Medicine's Abramson Cancer Center and Inspira Health. Sorbello and his wife, Cyndi, currently own and operate Bastazo Thrift Store in Ocean City, New Jersey. All net proceeds benefit individuals with all types of cancers who are experiencing financial burdens. Since opening Bastazo in June 2020, the Sorbellos have raised $45,000 and have given six grants to individuals in need. Additionally, the Sorbellos have partnerships with AtlantiCare, a health system in southeastern New Jersey, and other cancer centers to provide assistance for living expenses for patients in need. A former member of the University of New Haven Chargers football team, Sorbello is also supporting the development of the Peterson Performance Center, which will play an integral role in the University’s efforts to transition its athletics program to Division I.

SPECIAL RECOGNITION

The John D. Hatfield Scholars Program John D. Hatfield, Ph.D., was the beloved provost and chief operating officer of the University of New Haven and concurrently the University’s first executive vice president. He came to help lead the University of New Haven in the next ambitious stages of its transformation, making great strides during a tenure cut short by ill health. He earned the affection and respect of the entire University community. John Hatfield died on July 30, 2003, succumbing to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, leaving his wife of 29 years, Dr. Deborah J. Wieder-Hatfield, and a sorrowful University community. Yet his memory will long be with us and serve as a beacon for progress in fulfilling our mission to “make tomorrow” for our students today and for decades to come. In that spirit, generous donors established The John D. Hatfield Endowed Scholarship to support students attending the University. Additionally, an anonymous major donor provided a gift to establish The John D. Hatfield Scholars Program, recognizing up to three seniors and three juniors who demonstrate exemplary academic and civic achievement and who are part of the University’s Honors Program.

Pageantry As our graduates, dressed in their academic robes, receive their degrees, they carry on a proud 800-year-old tradition in academe. Until the sixteenth century, the gown, with many variations in cut and style, was a common form of dress. However, as popular fashions changed, scholars and other professionals continued to wear robes as a form of recognition and often because they were required by university statutes. The hoods on the gowns evolved in much the same way — from common dress to a symbol of rank of academic achievement, with the colors in the hoods indicating both the institution granting the scholar’s degree and the field of study. In 1895, when American colleges and universities decided to create a system of academic garb, they adopted much of the European system. The gown for the baccalaureate degree, hoodless and with long pointed sleeves, is worn closed. Upon receiving the degree, the bachelor moves the tassel on the mortarboard cap from the right side to the left. Bachelor’s degree candidates wear black gowns; associate degree candidates wear blue. The gown for the master’s degree, with hood and open sleeves, is black and worn open. The color in the lining of the hood indicates the institution that granted the wearer’s degree. The color of the hood’s border indicates the field of study. The gown for the doctoral degree, usually black and worn open, is faced with velvet and has three velvet bars on each of the full round sleeves. The color of the border of the hood indicates the field of study, and the lining color indicates the institution that awarded the doctorate.

Although the usual color for the three gowns is black, some universities have chosen to use their school colors as the robe color. For instance, a graduate of Columbia or Yale may wear a blue robe; a graduate of Harvard, crimson. The origin of the mortarboard cap has been lost to history, but its use as an academic symbol dates back to at least the sixteenth century, for it is mentioned in the folk literature of the period. One theory of its symbolism is that, just as under Roman law a slave was freed by being allowed to wear a cap, so the scholar’s cap became a symbol of academic freedom. As today’s graduates step forward proudly in their academic robes to receive their degrees, they carry on the ancient tradition. Listed below are the colors of the disciplines represented in the academic programs and of the faculty of the University of New Haven. Arts, Letters, Humanities — White Business Administration, Commerce, Accountancy — Drab Economics — Copper Education — Light Blue Engineering — Orange Fine Arts, Architecture — Brown Journalism — Crimson Law — Purple Library Science — Lemon Living-Learning Community — Cardinal Medicine — Kelly Green Music — Pink Philosophy — Dark Blue Physical Education — Sage Green Public Administration — Peacock Blue Science — Gold-Yellow Social Science — Citron Theology, Divinity — Scarlet

The Maces

The Collar of Authority

The marshals leading the academic procession carry the twin maces of the University of New Haven. The history of the academic mace dates back to early universities, which were generally staffed by clergy and supported by the sovereign or high officials. The mace came into use as the symbol of academic authority and of the triumph of law and reason over ignorance and anarchy.

A gift from the University of New Haven Alumni Association, the presidential collar was presented to the University during the 75th Anniversary Convocation in the fall of 1995 and will be worn by the presidents of the University of New Haven in perpetuity as a symbol of the commitment of the alumni to the success of their alma mater.

The mace began as a weapon, a symbol of power. Use of a mace with a fluted head and heavy pommel dates back to the late Bronze Age, or about 1500 B.C. The weapon evolved in the Middle Ages as an effective armor-breaking device when swords proved ineffective against plate armor. Maces were especially favored by sergeants-at-arms assigned to protect a mounted knight or sovereign in battle. Hence, they became associated symbolically with the power and authority of the ruler. Additionally, the mace was the weapon of medieval soldier-churchmen who sought to avoid Biblical prohibitions against the use of the sword.

The presidential collar is the official symbol of office and has been worn by the heads of colleges and universities since ancient times. Normally a large necklace worn over the gown, the collar contains symbols of significance to the institution. The collar is generally conferred upon presidents at the time of inauguration and is worn at all events requiring formal academic regalia. The University of New Haven collar, a pendant supported by eight links on either side, was crafted by Peter Indorf, an acclaimed New Haven goldsmith and jeweler. The original design is fashioned from sterling silver and plated in 22-karat gold. The pendant contains the seal of the University of New Haven, and each of the links contains symbols that represent the University of New Haven’s foundation and roots in the YMCA and Yale University. The pendant and links are adorned with sapphires.

The University of New Haven maces, designed by the late Alexis Sommers of North Miami Beach, Florida, are based on historical designs used by craft guilds and academic institutions in fifteenth-century London. By that time, symbolism had replaced function, and the typical mace had become ornate and was cast in precious metals. The maces of the University of New Haven, interpreted in brass and stainless steel by New Haven craftsman Joseph Constantini, were donated in 1976 by the late Norman I. Botwinik, Chair of the University of New Haven Board of Governors from 1971 to 1992. One mace represents the wisdom and authority of the faculty; the other represents the wisdom and authority of the Board of Governors. Based on history, but of contemporary design and twentieth-century materials, the maces symbolize a university dedicated to the ancient and continuing search for truth and knowledge.
