Honor a ry De gr e e R e cipi e n t C om m e nc e m e n t Spe a k e r GAIL McGOVERN
President and CEO of the American Red Cross
Most of the disasters are small house fires. Others are on a grand scale, like the catastrophic 2010 earthquake that ravaged Haiti, displacing tens of thousands of people, or the 12 named storms that made landfall in the United States in 2020, devastating communities on the Gulf Coast. Few people would agree to lead an organization that requires a response to such crises every eight minutes. But for the past 13 years, Brooklyn-born Gail McGovern—who at an early age started giving back to her community by volunteering as a candy striper and tutoring underprivileged students—has thrived in that capacity. As the president and CEO of the American Red Cross, she oversees an emergency relief and blood services organization that annually responds to more than 60,000 disasters—from floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes to earthquakes, mudslides, and wildfires. “We help people in their darkest hours,” McGovern told the AARP in 2018. “This is not about material logistics; it’s about hope and comfort.” For her unwavering humanitarian spirit in the face of daunting challenges and her steadfast commitment to helping people in need around the world, Gail McGovern is receiving a Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa. When she took the reins of the Red Cross in 2008, the nonprofit was experiencing a crisis of its own. With a $209 million operating deficit, a debt of more than $600 million, an unwieldy structure, and difficulties within its blood services operations, the venerable organization was headed to the brink of collapse. But McGovern—who prior to joining the Red Cross held senior leadership roles at AT&T and Fidelity Personal Investments and taught at Harvard Business School—quickly enlisted 50 of the organization’s chapter executives to help her develop a collaborative plan that put the nonprofit organization back on firm financial footing, ramped up its fundraising initiatives, and refreshed its branding. Along the way, she and her internal crisis team invited more than 30,000 employees and hundreds of thousands of volunteers to give their input, making the plan even better. As a result, she was able to eliminate redundancies, consolidating the independent payroll systems, financial audits, websites, and IT departments of the organization’s 720 chapters. She also modernized information technology systems and expanded the Red Cross’ reach through social media and new mobile technologies, including a series of free apps that put lifesaving skills at people’s fingertips during emergencies. Today, with the changes McGovern spearheaded, the organization is 10 percent smaller and able to spend 90 cents of every dollar it raises directly on the people and communities it serves. Every year poses new heart-wrenching challenges. And McGovern has overseen the Red Cross’ response to all of them—from Hurricane
Sandy in 2012 to Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria in 2017 and a slew of tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and other local calamities. But 2020 was a year like no other in the relief agency’s nearly 140-year history because the COVID-19 pandemic forced the organization to change how it responds. It went from sheltering disaster victims inside large venues to housing them in hotel rooms. And, as blood drives were canceled at an alarming rate, the Red Cross partnered with federal, state, and community partners to spread the word that it was safe to donate blood. Over the decades, McGovern also has overcome many personal challenges, which just strengthened her resolve to help others. A day after the devastating Haiti earthquake, she learned that the breast cancer she already had battled once was back. She soldiered on, drawing strength, she said, from the challenges she saw in the faces of those the Red Cross served. When she enrolled at Johns Hopkins University in 1971, the year the school began accepting women, she was one of only 50 women among 1,900 men. Majoring in quantitative sciences, she earned a bachelor’s degree and landed her first professional job as a programmer at Bell Telephone of Pennsylvania, part of AT&T. Among the first women in the company to write code, she quickly moved up the technical ranks. While working full time, she earned an M.B.A. from Columbia University. Both universities have since recognized her as alumna of the year. After 24 years with AT&T, McGovern joined Fidelity, rising to president of personal investments. In 2002, after Forbes twice recognized her as one of the top 50 most powerful women in corporate America, she joined the business faculty at Harvard, teaching marketing for six years. When the opportunity to lead the Red Cross arose in 2008, she knew that the organization was mired in problems. But, as she said, “I believed that my business experience, coupled with my commitment to giving back, made this an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.” For devoting her driving passion to give back and her extraordinary energy, business acumen, and leadership skills to provide hope and comfort to people in their darkest hours, the University of Miami is proud to honor Gail McGovern.

The Great Seal includes a stylized sun and palm tree, as well as a shield with the traditional symbols of education—a key, a book, and a torch. The key signifies the unlocking, discovery, or reevaluation
of learning and knowledge. The book holds the Latin words for discovery, preservation, and dissemination of knowledge. And, the torch symbolizes the spread and dissemination of learning. Below the shield is the University’s Latin motto, from the Book of Esdras, Magna Est Veritas: Great Is Truth.

The M ac e
The academic mace, an enduring symbol of institutional authority and prestige, is a vestige from prehistoric times. First used as a battle weapon, the mace evolved into a ceremonial staff carried in processions of royalty, magistrates, and church or university officials. The University of Miami’s current mace, which dates back to 1986, was sculpted by former art professor William Ward. He chose a contemporary design, one that reflects the University’s timelessness and perpetual growth from a young institution to one of national prominence. The clean lines and polished silver surface are elegant; dignified; and reflective of colors, textures, and forms in the everchanging environment. Ward indicated that timelessness is further represented by the mace’s geometric design. Rather than employing symbols like books, candles, or globes, he noted that these geometric shapes are not tied to fad or style but are an integral part of our world.
“There are obvious relationships to mathematics and the sciences, and as the mace is rotated, some of the planes at the top resemble letters. Its complexity is like the unfolding plot of a good story,” Ward said. The University of Miami’s mace serves as a symbolic weapon to protect the ideals of truth, justice, and learning. During the commencement ceremony, it is carried at the head of the academic procession by the grand marshal, whose symbolic duty is the protection of the University, its people, and its processes. In 2019, staff and faculty members in the Department of Theatre Arts performed preservation and restoration work on the mace, crafting a new base and reviving the original sheen so that, after decades of use, the mace continues to play its role in the University’s commencement ceremonies.
The Uni versi t y of M ia m i Pre sid e n t ia l C ha ir The University of Miami Presidential Chair, or cathedra, took its place in 2016 on the commencement stage as a symbol of the Office of the President. Traditionally representing the seat of learning, the cathedra was designed and crafted by master furniture maker Austin Matheson, an adjunct professor in the School of Architecture, whose family history in South Florida predates the University’s 1925 founding. Matheson carved and joined what appear to be the seamless pieces of the chair from a single slab of highly prized and once-abundant Cuban mahogany. It was salvaged from a tree felled by a hurricane in nearby Coconut Grove. The fluidity of his design represents the idea that “We Are One U,” while his use of a contemporary style and a few traditional
flourishes represent the University’s rich past and promising future. “The chair is unique. It has no precedent. It stands alone,” Matheson said. Etched by laser, the Great Seal of the University of Miami is prominently displayed on the splat, or back, of the chair. More subtly, twin silhouettes of an ibis head, with its graceful beak, adorn each side of the crest rail. Known for its invincible spirit when hurricanes approach, the marsh bird has been the school mascot since the University opened its doors, just a month after the hurricane of 1926 devastated Miami. Like the chair, the ibis continues to be a symbol of our resilience and renewal as we approach our new century.

Ac adem i c Hon or s a n d R e ga lia The ceremonies of commencement immerse us in the rich tradition of academic honors and dress that reaches back to the early days of the world’s oldest universities. The University of Miami awards degrees in three basic divisions—the doctorate, master’s, and baccalaureate—which can be traced to medieval times. The student receiving a “first degree in arts” was crowned with a wreath of laurel berries, hence “baccalaureate” and “bachelor.” The master’s degree was a license to teach (Licentia docendi), so the “master” was an appropriate title. The doctor was even better qualified to teach, for this degree required advanced study, independent research, and defense of a dissertation. These standards still apply to the doctorate, except for those conferred honoris causa (as honorary degrees) for meritorious service in public or private endeavor. Some degrees are awarded with special recognition. For those who have achieved appropriate standards in their work, the words cum laude (with praise), magna cum laude (with high praise), and summa cum laude (with highest praise) are used. Students who have met formal scholarly demands, including both specified courses and high overall grade averages, may graduate with “General Honors.” These achievements are recorded on diplomas and in official transcripts. From medieval practice, academic dress has three items: cap, gown, and hood. In reviving the use of these items for the United States, an intercollegiate commission in 1895 drafted a code that most universities,
52
including the University of Miami, follow. For all degrees, the mortarboard is the traditional cap. The tassel may be gold for a doctor or may indicate the field of study. The bachelor’s gown is black with long, pointed, open sleeves. The master’s gown is black with a long, closed sleeve hanging below the elbow. The doctor’s gown is black and is distinguished by three bars of velvet on a full sleeve. The academic hood is the identifying symbol of the degree. Its length indicates which degree it represents: three feet for the baccalaureate, three-and-a-half for the master’s, and four for the doctorate. The lining indicates the college or university that awarded the degree. University of Miami hoods are lined in orange, green, and white. The color of the velvet band represents the academic discipline. The most frequently seen colors are white for arts, yellow for science, pink for music, sapphire blue for philosophy, purple for law, scarlet for divinity, green for medicine, light blue for education, drab for business, orange for engineering, violet for architecture, gray for general studies, and apricot for nursing. President Julio Frenk wears a black robe with four black velvet bars. The fourth chevron indicates this is the presidential regalia. The gown features orange and green piping as well as a doctoral hood lined in orange, green, and white—reflecting the official University of Miami school colors.
Th e M us ic of t he C e re m on y University of Miami Fanfare Great universities throughout the country begin their halftime performances with a special fanfare consisting of small portions of their school fight songs and alma mater. The fanfare signals the start of halftime festivities, exciting the crowd and encouraging loyal fans to remain in their seats during the band’s performance. Following the Miami Hurricane’s National Championship season in 2001-2002, David Lambert, D.M.A. ’05, wrote a similar fanfare for the
University of Miami. “UM Fanfare” was premiered by the University of Miami Band of the Hour during the 2004 Miami Hurricane home football opener versus Florida State University. It has since been performed as a prelude to all Band of the Hour performances and has become a part of the University of Miami’s commencement to announce the opening of the ceremony.
President’s Processional Fanfare Commencement ceremonies are rich in history, tradition, and ritual. Over the years, the University of Miami has had a number of talented musicians and composers contribute to that history and tradition. The “President’s Processional Fanfare—Toward Our New Century” was
commissioned by the Phillip and Patricia Frost School of Music for the inauguration of the University of Miami's sixth president, Julio Frenk. Written by Brian Balmages, M.M. ’00, the fanfare premiered on January 29, 2016, at Frenk’s inauguration ceremony.
