Academic Regalia In its colors and costumes, the graduation ceremony today dates from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, when universities frst began to take shape. Long cloaks or gowns worn by clerics studying in holy orders were probably needed for warmth in the drafty, unheated halls. Te hood, originally part of the medieval cowl, could be pulled forward or thrown back according to weather conditions.

European universities developed extremely varied, often richly embroidered, academic vestments. Seeking to avoid the complexity and confusion of foreign academic ceremonies, American educators in 1895 adopted a uniform code of dress. Accordingly, the bachelor’s gown is designed to be worn closed and is distinguished primarily by its long pointed sleeves; the master’s gown has oblong sleeves that are cut out at the bottom of the front; the doctor’s gown is distinguished by full bell-shaped sleeves with three velvet bars on the upper arms and velvet panels down the front.

In the United States, the hood is the most outstanding feature of the academic costume. Te length and shape of the hood indicate the degree that is granted. Te lining displays the ofcial colors of the university granting the degree. Northern Illinois University’s ofcial colors are cardinal red and black. Te velvet trimming indicates the degree.

Te mortarboard cap is an Oxford style. Except for the gold tassels of the doctoral degrees, the colors of the tassels on NIU regalia represent the degrees or certifcates to be granted.

Colors for the hood trimming and tassels are:

• Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Master of Arts (M.A.) degree: white

• Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) or Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) degree: brown

• Bachelor of Music (B.M.) or Master of Music (M.M.) degree or Performer’s Certificate: pink

• Bachelor of Science (B.S.) or Master of Science (M.S.) degree: golden yellow

• Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S.Ed.), Master of Science in Education (M.S.Ed.), Master of Arts in Teaching (M.S.T.), Master of Science in Teaching (M.S.TCH), Educational Specialist (Ed.S.), or Specialist in School Psychology (SSP) degree: light blue

• Master of Accountancy (M.A.C.), Master of Accounting Science (M.A.S.), Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.), or Master of Science in Taxation (M.S.T.) degree: light brown

• Master of Public Administration (M.P.A.) degree: peacock blue

• Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) degree: salmon

• Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree: purple hood, purple tassel

• Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) degree: green hood, gold tassel

• Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) degree: light blue hood, gold tassel

• Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree: apricot orange hood, gold tassel

• Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree: dark blue hood, gold tassel

• Doctor of Physical Therapy (D.P.T.) degree: teal hood, gold tassel

Te colors for the Bachelor of General Studies degree (B.G.S.) and Certifcate of Advanced Study (C.A.S.) are determined by the ofering college.

Colors representing the degrees generally have historical associations. For example, the white trim on the hood of the graduates in liberal arts derives from the white fur that lined the winter hood of Oxford masters centuries ago.

• A Doctoral degree at NIU requires 90 or more semester hours of graduate work beyond the baccalaureate degree and the research and writing of a dissertation, an original contribution to knowledge that is defned in an oral examination.

• The Master of Fine Arts degree is a terminal degree in the creative and performing arts; these programs involve 60 semester hours of graduate course work and culminate in a major one-person show (in art) or scholarly project (theatre arts).

• An Educational Specialist degree requires 30 semester hours of course work beyond the master’s degree; the Performer’s Certifcate, 24 semester hours, usually undertaken after a master’s degree.

• Other master’s degrees require a minimum of 30-48 semester hours of graduate work (depending upon program); individual programs may require the student to write a thesis or other research paper, produce a show or recital, pass comprehensive examinations, complete an internship or practicum, or undertake other capstone experiences.

Academic Tradition Te University Mace In academic ceremonies, the mace is symbolic of university authority, transcending the tenure of individual presidents. Protocol requires the use of the mace in the processional and recessional of major academic ceremonies. Typically the mace bearer is a highly respected member of the faculty, and he or she immediately precedes the president both entering and leaving the ceremony.

Designed in 1968 by NIU Art Professor Bill Haendel, the NIU presidential mace was frst used at the inauguration of the late President Rhoten Smith. Te graceful walnut staf originally featured a four-sided head engraved with quotations from ancient philosophers, writers and founding fathers. In an efort to bring new life to the mace tradition, President Freeman asked students, faculty, staf and alumni to suggest quotations that resonate more meaningfully with today’s university community. School of Art Professor James Obermeier and his students reconstructed the mace to include six sides, each bearing a quotation about the universty life and the role of education in a free society.

Mace Quotes “Public education is our greatest pathway to opportunity in America. So we need to invest in and strengthen our public universities today, and for generations to come.” —Michelle Obama

“Education is not the means of showing people how to get what they want. Education is an exercise by means of which enough people, it is hoped, will learn to want what is worth having.” —Ronald Reagan

“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” —Aristotle

“Te function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.” —Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Education does not change the world. Education changes the people who will change the world.” —Paulo Freire

“Forward, Together Forward.” —NIU Fight Song

Te Presidential Medallion Te presidential medallion is bestowed upon the university’s chief executive during the investiture ceremony. It is then worn by the president at commencements and other important academic functions. Te NIU medallion was designed in 1968 for the inauguration of the late President Rhoten Smith, and its modernistic appearance strongly refects the prevailing design aesthetic of the period. Te six-ounce, 5½ inch medallion which features the initials of the university was created by the late NIU Art Professor Eleanor Caldwell.

Academic Procession Te academic procession is led in by a mace bearer who is a recipient of the distinguished NIU Board of Trustees Professorship Award. Te mace bearer is followed by the college’s student marshal, then the platform party. Members of the platform party include the president of the university, the executive vice president and provost, the vice president for research and graduate studies, the dean of the Graduate School, deans of the academic colleges, members of the Board of Trustees and other invited guests. Chairs of the instructional departments in the colleges and members of the faculty comprise the next group in the procession. Te deans represent the faculty in acknowledging the graduates, for it is the faculty who have established the university’s curricula and have determined the requirements for the various degrees and certifcates. Te candidates for degrees are the last group in the procession.

May 2021 Graduate Degree Candidates Te list of graduate degree candidates was compiled fom information received fom the Graduate School as of March 15, 2021,

and should not be regarded as conclusive evidence of graduation.

Alma Mater

Hail, NIU

Hail to thee our Alma Mater, ever shall we praise your name.

Here we proudly lift our voices, thousands strong we sing your fame.

Free, steadfast, devoted, true. We will always stand by you.

Let our cheers resound for Northern: Hail, NIU.

by Wilbur Smith (1957)
