President
P RESIDENT J OHN K ELLY
John Kelly was named the seventh president of Florida Atlantic University
in January 2014, and quickly declared his intention to make FAU “America’s
fastest-improving university.” The university has established a track
record of relentless improvement under his transformational leadership,
which includes doubling research expenditures, enrolling an all-time high
number of National Merit Scholars, setting new records for private gifts
to the FAU Foundation, increasing graduation and academic progress
rates, and raising the profile of FAU’s athletics program. FAU is ranked
among the nation’s top public schools by U.S. News & World Report.

President Kelly began his academic career in 1982 as an assistant professor

at Texas A&M University. Three years later, he went to Clemson, rising
through the ranks to become professor and department head by 1991. He was named vice president
for public service and agriculture in 1997 and vice president for economic development in 2010.

Active on the national level, President Kelly has served on the boards of the Administrative Heads Section
of the National Association of State Universities and Land-grant Colleges (now the Association of Public and
Land-grant Universities) and the American Distance Education Consortium. His leadership excellence has
been recognized with the South Florida Business Journal’s Ultimate CEO Award, Sun Sentinel’s Excalibur Award
for Large Business Leader of the Year in Palm Beach County and the Clemson University Alumni Association’s
Distinguished Service Award. He also was named one of Florida Trend’s “500 Most Influential Business Leaders.”

President Kelly was raised in South Carolina. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Clemson and both a
master’s degree and a Ph.D. from The Ohio State University. He is married to FAU First Lady Carolyn
Kelly, and they are the parents of Carly and Stella.

The History of the Mace
The mace, generally made of wood and clad in metal, was used as a weapon during
the Middle Ages. Later, as more powerful military arms were developed, the mace
became a symbol of authority.

During the 12th century, guards of the English and French kings were the first to bear
ceremonial maces. The tradition grew, and by the end of the 16th century the mace
was used by officials in cities and towns throughout England. Today, the ceremonial
mace is carried in the British Houses of Parliament, before ecclesiastical dignitaries
and in university convocations.

The Florida Atlantic University mace carried in today’s commencement procession by

the University Marshal was designed and handcrafted by FAU Art Professor William
Lattimer. It is made of mahogany and silver. The carved staff encircled with silver
rings is topped by a silver owl with outspread wings. The design signifies the dignity,
determination and wisdom of FAU’s mascot, the burrowing owl.

Baccalaureate Degrees of Distinction

Florida Atlantic University recognizes superior academic performance by granting
baccalaureate degrees of distinction on the recommendation of faculty to students who
have earned at least 45 credits at FAU with grade point averages (GPA) as follows:

Cum Laude for a GPA at FAU of at least 3.50, indicated herein by *

Magna Cum Laude for a GPA at FAU of at least 3.70, indicated herein by **

Summa Cum Laude for a GPA at FAU of at least 3.90, indicated herein by ***

The awarding of degrees and honors to the candidates named in this program is
contingent upon the satisfactory completion of appropriate requirements by each
candidate. The listing of students’ names in this program in no way implies or ensures
their graduation or the awarding of honors.

A Note on Photography
In order to maintain an orderly and dignified ceremony, one that our graduates can
remember with pride and enjoyment, guests are requested to remain seated during the
entire ceremony and recessional and to refrain from taking pictures of the candidates
until after the exercises are completed.

The University has contracted with GradImages™ to take full-color, close-up

photographs of all graduates during the ceremony. Graduates will be contacted after
the ceremony about purchasing the photographs. GradImages™, 3490 Martin Hurst
Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32312, 800-261-2576, www.gradimages.com.

Your cooperation will ensure that the commencement exercises will run smoothly and
that the ceremony itself will be a fitting occasion to mark this significant milestone
in the lives of our graduates.

Lending color to the pageantry of the commencement ceremony are the academic
robes and hoods worn by the faculty and delegates. This regalia dates to medieval
times, when it served a functional as well as an ornamental role, separating learned
men from other groups and offering warmth and protection.

In late 19th-century America, a conference was held by representatives of colleges

and universities to bring more order to the custom of academic dress. Since that time,
periodic conferences have taken place to revise or reconfirm existing practices.

Here at FAU, holders of the bachelor’s degree wear navy blue robes embroidered
with the FAU mark. The color of the tassel indicates the student’s college (see listing
below). Holders of the master’s degree wear black robes embroidered with the FAU
mark and hoods lined with the colors of the University, blue and red, and trimmed
with the color of the student’s college (see listing below).

Holders of the doctoral degree wear custom-designed FAU regalia. The black robes
have panels and sleeve chevrons in blue velvet outlined in red piping. The doctoral
hoods are lined with the colors of the University, blue and red, and trimmed with the
color of the doctoral degree. Holders of degrees from foreign universities or religious
orders wear the entire academic costumes as decreed by the conferring institutions.

President John Kelly wears presidential regalia. The four chevrons on the sleeve of his
robe are used only by university presidents. Members of the FAU Board of Trustees
wear regalia with the University’s seal and colors, blue and red.

Colors found on the students’ hoods and tassels represent FAU’s colleges:

UNIVERSITYistory
Florida Atlantic University, created in 1961 by act of the Florida Legislature, went into
operation in 1964 as one of the first universities in the nation serving upper-division
and graduate students exclusively. The University was dedicated on October 25, 1964,
by President Lyndon B. Johnson, becoming one of the few American institutions of
higher learning to be so honored by a sitting President of the United States. Twenty
years later, in 1984, FAU became a four-year university when the first freshman class
was admitted.

Today, the University is serving more than 30,000 undergraduate and graduate
students on sites throughout its six-county service region in southeast Florida, where
its annual economic impact is $6.3 billion. More than 190,000 individuals are now
FAU alumni.

The University is organized into 10 colleges: the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of

Arts and Letters, the College of Business, the College of Education, the College of
Engineering and Computer Science, the Graduate College, the Harriet L. Wilkes
Honors College, the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine, the Christine E. Lynn
College of Nursing, the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science and the College of
Social Work and Criminal Justice.

FAU has fully funded Eminent Scholar Chairs in academic areas that include
engineering, business, community education, the arts, social science, nursing, marine
biology, philosophy, Holocaust studies, Judaic studies, brain science and growth
management.

Playing an important part in furthering the mission of the University are a number
of centers and institutes dedicated to specific academic or research pursuits. For
example, FAU is the home of the Southeast National Marine Renewable Energy
Center, a federally funded research facility that is developing technology to generate
energy by harnessing the power of Florida’s offshore ocean currents. FAU’s Harbor
Branch Oceanographic Institute, in collaboration with the Charles E. Schmidt College
of Science and the College of Engineering and Computer Science, is at the forefront
of the discovery of medicines from deep-sea marine organisms, as well as ocean
exploration, conservation and education initiatives. FAU’s S.E. Wimberly Library is
the home of one of the nation’s finest, most comprehensive collections of historical
documents relating to the birth of American democracy—the Marvin and Sybil Weiner
Spirit of America Collection.

To enhance interdisciplinary and collaborative research, FAU established four

university-wide research institutes focused on the University’s strengths. These are
dedicated to improving and addressing diseases of the brain, enhancing human health
and quality of life, protecting the environment locally and globally, and using sensors
to monitor the world around us. FAU also entered into joint research and education
agreements with two of the premier scientific research organizations in the world:
the Scripps Research Institute and the Max Planck Society.

One of Florida’s 12 public universities, FAU is committed to serving the educational

needs of persons of retirement age through non-credit courses offered by the Osher
Lifelong Learning Institute, which is believed to be the largest and most successful
organization of its kind in the United States.
