Lance Hyde Hyde has spent the last fifteen years in positions of increasing responsibility at various publicly-owned corporations and consulting firms in diversity-focused roles. In 2019, Lance achieved the highest honor in his profession by being selected as the Supplier Diversity Professional of the Year by the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC). For his community advocacy, Lance has earned commendations from two U.S. Senators, the Governor of California and received a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition by U.S. Congresswoman Barbara Lee of California. Lance Hyde joined Koppers last year as the Director of Global Inclusion and Diversity, where he chairs the Inclusion and Diversity Committee. During his first two weeks at Koppers, in an effort to fight COVID-19, Lance led Koppers’ efforts in the All One Pittsburgh drive, which raised over $67,000 to purchase essential household goods for over 3,000 families in six underserved communities throughout the Pittsburgh region. He holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from California State University, East Bay and a Master of Business Administration from Waynesburg University. Lance has also graduated from The Advanced Leadership Initiative at Carnegie Mellon University’s Tepper School of Business. As a man of faith, he gives all praise and glory to God and believes it is imperative to give back to those who are less fortunate.

A Note on Academic Attire
The academic attire worn at American colleges’ exercises today goes back in its essential features to the Middle Ages. The oldest universities of northern Europe, such as Oxford, grew out of church schools, and both faculty and students were regarded in the Middle Ages as a part of the clergy. Hence, they wore clerical garb, largely borrowed from the monastic dress of their day, not merely on special occasions, but as their regular attire. The head covering of the academic attire developed out of the skullcap worn by the clergy in cold weather to protect their tonsured heads. In the universities, this skullcap acquired a point on top, which gradually evolved into a tassel. The bonnet with tassel is still worn by degree-holders of the European universities. But, in this country, it has been replaced by the familiar mortar-board, which still, however, retains the medieval tassel. The hood (the medieval caputium) was originally a head-covering worn over the head in bad weather, and otherwise dropped onto the shoulders, like the monk’s cowl. At first, it was worn by faculty and students alike, but in the early 16th century it was restricted to graduates, and thus came to be the mark of a degree-holder. The hoods contained pockets — for donations from students. Higher degrees provided larger hoods and larger pockets. Today, each college has its distinctive colored hood-lining by which its graduates may be recognized in academic processions. The gown worn today is the medieval roba, and seems to have been borrowed from the habit of the Benedictine monks. The gown was intended to keep the professors warm in the cold monasteries. In the Middle Ages, undergraduates, bachelors and masters could be distinguished by the simplicity or elaborateness of their gowns, and this practice remains today. The doctoral gown has three furred strips (called Chevrons) on each sleeve; the master’s gown generally has open sleeves; and the bachelor’s gown is plain. The wide velvet borders extending down the front of the doctoral gown, the velvet bars on the sleeves and the borders of most hoods are colored according to the scholarly field of the wearer. The most usual of these are: White
