A Sending: Light, Liberty and Learning

Written by Professors:
Lore DeBower, James Kershner, and Nancy Willets

This evening we have celebrated the community

of Cape Cod Community College.

We have honored many members of this community:

faculty, staff and students. But most of all we have honored

those of you in the graduating class of 2006.

Now it is time for this celebration to draw to a close,

and for you to move on.

We send you forth with wishes that reflect the college motto of "light,

liberty and learning."

Go forth with light.

Let your knowledge be a light that continues to shine.

Remember that light can be a beacon to those in peril.

Go forth with liberty.

Celebrate and cherish the liberty we hold so dear.

Remember it is your knowledge that protects that liberty.

Go forth with learning.

Pursue learning for your own sake.

Remember that learning continues beyond these halls.

Wherever your life's journey leads from here, go in peace.
Keep us in your hearts as we will keep you in ours.
Go forth with light, with liberty and with learning.

The Academic Procession and Regalia

Traditional commencement academic procession and regalia date
back to the Middle Ages. Voluminous gowns were worn to ward off
the damp and cold of medieval buildings; mortarboards were used as
hats. When laymen, clergy and scholars continued to wear the robes,
with variations in style and color identifying different monastic orders,
abandoned those styles. The bachelor, master, and doctor gowns differ
stylistically in cut and decorative motif.

Today the hood is especially important in identifying the academic
achievements of its wearer. Originally, the hoods were worn over the
head. A long tassel is attached to the middle point of the top of the cap
to drape over the edge of the mortarboard. Tassels may be black, gold,
or a color appropriate to the academic field of the wearer. The colors
of the hood lining indicate the institution granting the degree. The
width of the velvet trim indicates the highest degree held; the color of
the trim indicates the field of study.

An intercollegiate code representing different departments of
learning has set the standards for academic dress in the United States.
The colors are assigned as follows:

Agriculture

Maize

Medicine

Green

Arts, Letters, Humanities

White

Music

Pink

Business Administration

Drab

Nursing

Apricot

The office of mace bearer is purely ceremonial. It derives from
medieval times in England when an official was taking office or open-
ing his court and needed a bodyguard. Then the mace, a formidable
weapon, was held ready to protect the person of the dignity.

From the 16th century in England and since colonial days in
America, it has become a symbol of office only, and is carried by a dis-
tinguished member of the faculty. The mace bearer, who immediately
precedes the president both entering and leaving the ceremony, while
often not included in today's exercises, remains popular on the older
campuses in the East.

At Cape Cod Community College, the academic regalia of the
Board of Trustees correspond to doctoral caps and gowns with gold
tassels; the colorful hoods lined with red display the College colors of
silver and blue. Faculty robes signify the wearer's respective university
and discipline. The mace, a gift of the Class of 1984, is borne by the
Grand Marshal who leads the academic procession.

The community is our campus...
the citizenry is our student body

Cape Cod Community College has been delivering educational
programs and services to meet the diverse needs of the residents of
Cape Cod, the Islands, and adjacent areas of Southeastern Massachu-
setts for over forty years. As the sole comprehensive college on Cape
Cod, it provides the only access to higher education for many resi-
dents.

The College is a student-centered learning community that prepares
students for a rapidly changing and socially diverse global economy.
To this end, it provides degrees in the liberal arts and sciences; career
and technical degrees and certificates; and workforce development.

A strong liberal arts focus contributes (l) a foundation for transfer to
baccalaureate programs; (2) general education that supports technical
and career programs with communication and analytical competen-
cies as well as broadly based liberal education; and (3) cultural
opportunities for the region.

Its career and technical programs support unique workforce and
economic needs in such fields as the hospitality and tourism industry,
healthcare, environmental technology, and business with particular
emphasis on small business and information technology These
programs provide opportunities for immediate employment and for
transfer to professional baccalaureate programs. In addition, the
College provides both credit courses and non-credit customized
training to meet continuing education needs of employees and
employers.

The success of the College can be found in its 45-year tradition of
excellence. The College truly belongs to the people it serves and
takes pride in responding to individual and community needs. For
over four decades, the College has served as the foundation of post-
secondary educational opportunity career development, and cultural
activity for the area and its residents. Well over 250,000 area
residents have earned a degree, learned or updated job skills, or
enriched their lives with the College's cultural offerings. In 1961,
166 students enrolled at the College. Today, over. 4,000 students per
semester are enrolled in credit courses. Over 6,000 individual stu-
dents are served every year, with well over 10,000 individuals coming
to campus each year to take both credit and non-credit courses.
