RUTGERS, THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY C O N V O C AT I O N May 2016 SCHOOL OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES Convocation Ceremony 2016 Excellence Since 1864 Celebrating excellence since our founding as the Rutgers Scientific School, a land-grant institution by Professor George H. Cook in 1864. 1 2 Message from the Dean May 16, 2016 Dear Graduates, I extend my warmest congratulations to you, the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences Class of 2016, and to your family and friends who have supported your achievement. As graduates of Rutgers, New Jersey’s land-grant university, you have benefitted from a philosophy of education that emphasizes handson learning, global perspectives, accessibility and service. A School of Environmental and Biological Sciences education is not just about earning a degree or getting a job offer—it is about preparing for a lifetime of learning, growing, and serving. Today you embark on a new journey, able to address the most critical challenges facing our society. You do so on a solid foundation built by excellent and dedicated faculty and by caring and supportive friends and family. It is in this context that all of us send you into the world, with the full expectation that your lives and accomplishments will be a source of pride for you and for our institution. Remember that you will always be a part of the Rutgers community. I encourage you to remain involved in alumni affairs, and to know, wherever your journeys may take you, you will always have a home on the George H. Cook Campus of Rutgers—your alma mater for life. Sincerely, Robert M. Goodman Executive Dean School of Environmental and Biological Sciences 3 Dedication We, the graduating class of 2016, proudly dedicate this School of Environmental and Biological Sciences Convocation Ceremony to our families, classmates, and friends. Over the past four years, the interactions with our peers and the experiences we have shared, including the highs and lows, have highlighted our school careers. We have been able to reach this milestone, the first of many in our lives, due to the dedication of the faculty and staff of the School, and the support we have received from one another. We also cannot forget our families and the instrumental role they have played in our development. Their constant guidance and support nurtured our growth, preparing us to be responsible and mature individuals as we take on our new roles in society. We graduate today as a result of the efforts of all those who have helped us achieve excellence in education, and we carry with us a sincere gratitude. 4 Program Monday, May 16, 2016 10:00 a.m. Processional Gonfalonier Francis M.

Cook Community Alumni Association Office of Communications And the many other volunteers who made this event possible 46 The Academic Costume The wearing of academic dress dates back to the early days of the oldest universities in the world. In the American Council on Education’s book entitled American Universities and Colleges, it is suggested that “Gowns may have been counted necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings frequented by medieval scholars. Hoods seem to have served to cover the tonsured head. . . .” Throughout the years, European universities have continued to show great diversity in their academic dress. American universities, on the other hand, when they decided to adopt academic dress, immediately established a code of regulations which today is followed by almost all American institutions. The establishment of this code has made it possible to distinguish the Bachelors, Masters, and Doctors and, at the same time, recognize the university which has given them the degree. Gowns: Bachelor’s gown has pointed sleeves and is worn closed. Master’s gown, worn open or closed, has oblong sleeves, the front part of which frequently is cut away at the elbow. Doctor’s gown has bell-shaped sleeves. It is worn open or closed. Cotton poplin or similar material is used for the Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, and rayon or silk ribbed material is used for the Doctor’s degree. Robes with green are worn by School of Environmental and Biological Sciences graduates to reflect the college’s environmental mission. The scarlet robes worn by some of the members of the faculty and administration indicate that their doctoral degrees are from Rutgers University. Scarlet robes are also worn by Rutgers University Governing Board members to signify their membership on the board. Hoods: The hoods vary in sizes: 48 inches for the Doctor’s degree, 42 inches for the Master’s, and 36 inches for the Bachelor’s. All hoods are lined in silk in the academic color or colors of the institution conferring the degree. If the institution has more than one color, the colors are shown in divisions using chevrons. The binding or edge of the hood is usually made of velvet in the color designating the subject in which the degree was granted. The maize hood is worn by those receiving the Bachelor of Science degree; the white, by those receiving the Bachelor of Arts degree. Below is a list of some of the faculty colors as prescribed by the Intercollegiate Code for the binding of the hood: Agriculture Arts, Letters, Humanities Business Administration, Commerce Economics Education Engineering Fine Arts, Architecture Journalism Law Library Service Medicine Music Nursing Oratory-Speech Pharmacy Philosophy Physical Education Public Administration Science Social Service Theology and Divinity Maize White Drab Copper Light Blue Orange Brown Dark Crimson Purple Lemon Green Pink Apricot Silver Gray Olive Green Blue Sage Green Peacock Blue Golden Yellow Citron Scarlet The color or colors of the lining of the hood for the nine colonial colleges are: scarlet, Rutgers; crimson, Harvard; green-gold-silver, William and Mary; blue, Yale; red-blue, Pennsylvania; orange-black, Princeton; light blue-white, Columbia; brown, Brown; and green-white, Dartmouth.

Chorus On the banks of the old Raritan, my friends, Where old Rutgers ever more shall stand, For has she not stood since the time of the flood, On the banks of the old Raritan. Then sing aloud to alma mater, And keep the scarlet in the van; For with her motto high, Rutgers' name shall never die, On the banks of the old Raritan Chorus 48
