JARET L. DAVIS
Co-Managing Shareholder, Miami office of Greenberg Traurig, P.A.
It’s easy to see why strangers often ask Jaret L. Davis which NBA or NFL team he played for. After all, at 6 feet 8 inches, he is almost as tall as LeBron James and as imposing as a defensive lineman. But Davis was never a professional athlete. Instead, he is a giant of the legal profession, a barrister for one of the nation’s most prestigious firms who is elevating Miami’s recognition as a tech capital by merging his love of technology with the law. As co-managing shareholder of the Miami office of Greenberg Traurig, P.A., a co-founder of Miami’s global eMerge Americas conference, and the former chair of the Miami-Dade Beacon Council, the mega-dealmaker and double University of Miami alumnus stands out in his field and the community. “Jaret has always exemplified what it means to have impact in the community and in practice,” observed Patricia D. White, dean emerita of the University of Miami School of Law, where Davis graduated magna cum laude in 1999. “He approaches everything with integrity and passion and with great intelligence.” Davis, whose first job was as a computer lab technician, majored in economics and minored in computer science and finance as an undergraduate, planning to become an investment banker. But then he pivoted to law because, as he told the South Florida Business Journal in 2017, “It’s the optimal blend of analytical work and interacting with people.” A member of Greenberg Traurig’s global Executive Committee, Davis makes good use of his prodigious analytical and people skills. He oversees one of the largest law offices in Florida, consisting of approximately 170 attorneys and 200 business staff, while focusing his corporate and securities practice on domestic and cross-border mergers and acquisitions, capital markets transactions, and large financings. For more than 10 years, he has helped spearhead Greenberg Traurig’s evolution as a dominant player in the tech industry, representing a variety of clients ranging from IT to biotech firms. During that time, the Miami office has established its reputation as a thought leader for angel investors, venture capital firms, growth equity funds, and various technology businesses at every interval of their life cycle. He spearheaded Medina Capital’s $3 billion joint venture deal with BC Partners to acquire 57 data centers worldwide and a portfolio of cybersecurity and data analytics companies to create Miami-based Cyxtera Technologies. He led the legal team that represented Terremark Worldwide, Inc., a Nasdaq-listed provider of IT infrastructure, in connection with its $2 billion acquisition by Verizon Communications, Inc. At the time, it was the largest pairing of a colocation provider with a telecommunications company, the largest transaction in the cloud computing space, and Verizon’s largest acquisition since MCI. He also led the team that represented Exactech, Inc., a producer of orthopedic
solutions, in connection with its $737 million acquisition by TPG Capital. His legal expertise is so varied, he has counseled clients developing technologies in everything from virtual gaming to pet services aggregation and from drones to advertising campaign management software. Born in Miami Beach and raised in Kendall—his father is from Alabama and his mother from New Orleans—Davis gives equally of himself to the community, where he is widely recognized for his tireless contributions. He chairs the Board of Directors of Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, and he remains general counsel for the eMerge Americas global technology conference he co-founded in 2014. During his tenure as chair of the Beacon Council, Miami-Dade County’s economic development partner, the Daily Business Review named him its 2018 Attorney of the Year for his corporate and civil leadership in the information technology and the life sciences/health care fields. His name is also on many lists recognizing the industry’s top lawyers—Super Lawyers, M&A Advisor, Chambers and Partners, and the National Law Journal’s, to name a few. He has also been honored with numerous civic awards, including MCCJ’s 2020 Silver Medallion Award, the Thurgood Marshall College Fund’s Distinguished Young Leader Award, the Miracle Maker award from the Women’s Committee of Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the Wilkie D. Ferguson, Jr. Bar Distinguished Honoree Award. While at the School of Law, he served on the Moot Court Board, on the executive editorial board of the University of Miami Law Review, and as the Catsman Fellow for the Center for Ethics and Public Service. He also served as president of the school’s alumni association and remains an active member. Thanks to his generosity, students can gather in the Jaret L. Davis Collaborative Workspace in the Donna E. Shalala Student Center, where during homecoming and alumni weekend festivities his presence is hard to miss. A member of the University’s Iron Arrow Honor Society and the first African American to serve as its president, his imposing figure is easy to spot in his brightly colored Iron Arrow jacket that marks him as one of the University’s finest. The University is proud to welcome Jaret L. Davis, a man of unwavering dedication to his practice, his community, and his alma mater, as commencement speaker.

Th e Great Seal of t he U n ive r sit y of M ia m i
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
50
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, takes its place 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 wood. 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.
The Music of Henry Fillmore Henry Fillmore, the American composer and bandleader best known for his marches, was an ardent supporter, friend, and benefactor of the University of Miami band. After retiring to Miami, he quickly adopted the Band of the Hour at the University of Miami as his own. As a result, he was named “permanent guest conductor” of the band; and in appreciation of his dedication, the University awarded Fillmore an honorary doctorate in music. Fillmore’s prominence as a band composer and his tireless dedication to the field of music remain his
legacy. Benefiting most from his musical passion and artistry was the University of Miami band, to which he bequeathed most of his estate. The Henry Fillmore Band Hall, dedicated in 1959 along with the Fillmore Museum, is a symbol of that legacy. The recessional music today is but a small part of his life’s work. Each selection has a unique relationship to Miami and the University. “The Miami March” was dedicated to the community of Greater Miami, which enthusiastically supported Fillmore and his music.
