Commencement Speaker

ELIZABETH ALEXANDER

Poet

and Author President, Mellon Foundation

When Elizabeth Alexander was a baby, her parents took her to the 1963 March on Washington to hear Martin Luther King Jr. deliver his “I Have a Dream” speech. Nearly a half century later, she recited her poem “Praise Song for the Day” at the 2009 inauguration of America’s first Black president, Barack Obama.

Alexander always knew she was expected to extend the road that others had paved. An acclaimed poet, scholar, and cultural advocate who has led the nation’s largest funder of arts and the humanities since 2018, she has forged her own unconventional path. As TIME magazine noted while naming Alexander among the world’s 100 Most Influential People in 2022, she may be hard to define, but her influence is not.

“Elizabeth Alexander is many things. She’s a poet, a philanthropist, an educator, and an intellectual, but most of all, she’s a visionary,” TIME wrote. “And through her work as the president of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation … she has put real investment into creating spaces that reflect the country’s rich diversity, and rethinking how we can embrace our cultural narratives.”

For using her creative gifts to inspire generations of students, and her unique vision for advancing justice, freedom, and understanding through the arts, Elizabeth Alexander is receiving a Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa

Born in Harlem but raised in Washington, D.C., Alexander learned she must “work twice as hard” and “speak up when injustice was done” from her family. Her father, a Harvard- and Yale-educated lawyer, chaired the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and was the first Black secretary of the Army. Her mother taught African American women’s history at George Washington University.

A serious dancer in high school, she was disappointed to learn she was not good enough to pursue dance as a career. At Yale University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in English, she considered journalism but, after a year at The Washington Post, realized that being a journalist wasn’t the kind of writer she was best suited to be.

Thinking she would focus on fiction, she entered Boston University’s master’s program in creative writing, hoping to study under one of her favorite writers, the St. Lucian poet and playwright Derek Walcott. But when she shared her diaries with the future Nobel laureate, he told her that with a few line breaks, she could turn her prose into poetry.

“I then discovered that, that was the thing I was meant to do,” Alexander, the bestselling author or coauthor of 15 books, told ARTnews in 2021.

Equally determined to teach, Alexander earned a Ph.D. in English from the University of Pennsylvania and began her academic career

at the University of Chicago. She held distinguished professorships at Smith College, Columbia University, and at Yale, where she taught for more than 15 years and chaired the African American Studies Department.

She also met her husband and the father of her two sons in New Haven. But, just days after his 50th birthday, Ficre Ghebreyesus, an artist and chef from the East African country Eritrea, died unexpectedly. Amid her grief, Alexander wrote her memoir, “The Light of the World,” her second Pulitzer Prize finalist. Her fourth collection of poems, “American Sublime,” was the first.

Relocating to New York, Alexander began teaching at Columbia but was soon recruited to serve as the nonprofit Ford Foundation’s director of creativity and free expression. There, she codesigned the Art for Justice Fund that uses art and advocacy to address the crisis of mass incarceration.

Soon after, she took charge of the $6 billion Mellon Foundation’s mission to build just communities through the humanities and arts. Among her signature initiatives is the $500 million Monuments Project, which is creating public art to share stories “of those who have often been denied historical recognition.” That effort includes the Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument in Illinois, which honors the Chicago teenager who was lynched while visiting Mississippi, and his mother, who helped galvanize the Civil Rights Movement.

Alexander’s latest book, “The Trayvon Generation,” explores how racist violence has shaped Black youths, like her sons, and how culture, art, and deep knowledge strengthen us. Quoting Robert Hayden’s poem on abolitionist Frederick Douglass, she envisions “a world where none is lonely, none hunted, alien.”

A member of the boards of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and the Pulitzer Prize, and chancellor emeritus of the Academy of American Poets, she has received many honors, including Harvard’s W.E.B. Du Bois Medal, France’s Officier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, and the Anisfield-Wolf Book Prize for Lifetime Achievement in Poetry.

For her vital poetic voice and visionary leadership in the arts, culture, social justice, and philanthropy, the University of Miami is proud to honor Elizabeth Alexander.

The Great Seal of the University of Miami

The Great Seal of the University of Miami symbolizes exceptional scholarship, a limitless quest for knowledge, and an abiding commitment to service shared by University faculty, staff, and students. 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 Mace

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 University of Miami Presidential Chair

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.

Academic Honors and Regalia

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,

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.

The Music of the Ceremony

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.
