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

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.

Red Oak (Quercus rubra)
New Jersey State Tree
Red Oak seedlings have been presented to graduating seniors at the School
Convocation Ceremony since 1982. Instrumental in starting this presentation
was Otto V. Kunkel, College of Agriculture, Class of 1940, and former District
Forester for the New Jersey Bureau of Forest Management, who personally helped
to grow the first seedlings. The School is pleased to present them to the graduates
as a living memorial to an outstanding graduate and a good citizen of the State of
New Jersey. Graduates will take a living part of the G. H. Campus with them, to
grow tall and strong, as they, too, grow in their personal and professional lives.
The School of Environmental and Biological Sciences

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

Medicine
Music

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.
Caps: Black mortarboards or soft hats are worn for all degrees. The gold tassel signifies a
Doctorate. Graduates of the General Honors Program and George H. Cook Scholars wear
golden tassels on their mortarboards.
Cords: Scarlet cords are worn by students who participated in the George H. Cook Honors
Program; green cords are worn by those participating in the General Honors Program; and
gold cords are worn by those graduates earning a grade point average of 3.5 of higher.
Summa Cum Laude 3.850-4.000; Magna Cum Laude 3.700 – 3.849; Cum Laude 3.500 –

On the Banks of the Old Raritan
From far and near we came to Rutgers,
And resolved to learn all that we can;
And so we settled down,
In that noisy college town,
On the banks of the old Raritan.
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
