130TH COMMENCEMENT CONVOCATION SUMMER 2023 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA TAMPA | ST. PETERSBURG | SARASOTA-MANATEE

Dear Graduates,
On behalf of the University of South Florida trustees, faculty, staff, and hundreds of thousands of global alumni, I extend my deepest congratulations to you, the graduating class of summer 2023!
This is a momentous occasion, not just for you, but for those who have helped you reach this important milestone. Whether they are here with you today or cheering you on from afar — your family, friends, and the entire USF community are thrilled to celebrate all you have achieved.
During today’s Commencement ceremonies, we recognize graduates from across USF’s three campuses in Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota-Manatee. Your graduating class is full of changemakers who are united by a shared commitment to building a better world — and like our great university, you are driven by bold ambitions and an optimistic vision for the future.
As USF graduates, you can take great pride in knowing that the degree you have earned holds tremendous value and respect, because it was earned at a university that is included among our nation’s most renowned institutions of higher learning. This year, USF rose to its highest position ever in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges rankings. We are currently No. 42 among public universities and No. 97 among all public and private universities.
This summer, our university reached another historic milestone — USF was invited to join the Association of American Universities (AAU), the most prestigious association in higher education. The AAU includes only 3% of all four-year universities in the U.S., and USF is the first public university in Florida to be invited to join the association in nearly 40 years. Our university is now one of only two institutions from the State University System of Florida to serve as AAU members. This is a significant achievement because it will allow us to further invest in USF’s powerful research enterprise, help us attract more bright minds to our institution, and empower us to make an even greater impact on our society.
As a proud USF alumna, I credit much of my own personal and professional success to the impact this institution has had on my life. The lessons you have learned here will continue to shape who you are and empower you to make a positive difference in your communities for many years to come. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you, the newest members of our USF alumni family.
Congratulations — and as always, Go Bulls!

THE SYMBOLS OF LEARNING
Modern academic regalia evolved from the kinds of apparel worn by monks and students in the 11th and 12th centuries to keep warm in the medieval castles and halls in which they studied. Academic life as we know it today began in the Middle Ages — first in the church, then in the guilds. The teaching guild was the Guild of the Master of Arts, and the Bachelor was the apprentice of the Master. Their dress was the outward sign of stature and responsibility. Academic regalia was thus a visible manifestation — in color, pattern and design — that unified those of common discipline and like purpose. In later centuries, to preserve the regalia’s dignity and meaning, universities set rules of academic dress. American universities agreed on a definite system in 1895, establishing a code of approved attire. In 1932, the American Council on Education revised this code, which, for the most part, governs the style of academic dress today. The principal features of academic dress are three: the gown, the cap and the hood.
THE GOWN — The gown has become symbolic of the democracy of scholarship, for it completely covers any dress of rank or social standing. The sleeves of the gown indicate the level of the degree held by the wearer. A long, pointed sleeve indicates the bachelor’s degree. The master’s gown has an oblong sleeve cut in an arc, with a slit at either the upper arm or wrist. The USF doctor’s gown has bell-shaped sleeves and three black bars on the sleeve. The doctoral robe also has the seal of the university on the velvet facing.
THE CAP — The freed slave in ancient Rome won the privilege of wearing a cap, and so the academic cap is a sign of the freedom of scholarship and the responsibility and dignity with which scholarship endows the wearer. Old poetry records the cap of scholarship as a square symbolizing the book, although other authorities claim that it is a mortar board, the symbol of the masons, a privileged guild. The color of the tassel on the cap denotes the discipline. The tassels on the caps (mortar boards) worn by the faculty may be black or a color indicating the degree. Those who hold a doctoral degree may wear a gold tassel. It is traditional for degree candidates to wear their tassels on the right and for those holding degrees to wear them on the left. Graduates transfer their tassels to the left after conferring of the degrees by the President.
THE MACE — The USF mace is a ceremonial staff similar to those used by many institutions of higher learning to show the right to grant degrees to graduates. The mace is used during all Commencement ceremonies and is carried by the President of the Faculty Senate. Our mace includes a gold pine cone at its top to represent growth and continuity. Eight silver semicircles, which support the pine cone, stand for the eight colleges in existence at USF when the mace was commissioned in 1998. When not in use, today’s mace is displayed in the foyer of the President’s office. The original university mace is on display in the Alumni Center.
THE MEDALLION — The medallion worn by candidates for the bachelor’s degree identifies those graduating with honors based upon GPA.
THE STOLE — The stole is made available to students who are members of university honors societies. International students may choose to wear a special stole honoring their home
country. The colors of their stole reflect the colors of their native flags.
THE HOOD — The hoods are lined with the official colors of the institution conferring the degree. They are edged and bound with velvet of the color appropriate for the degree. At USF, the lining of the hood is green with a gold chevron, representing the university’s colors.
THE COLORS — In regalia, academic disciplines are noted by color. These colors can be found on undergraduate and master’s tassels and on master’s and doctoral hoods on the velvet edging.
