The Hon. E. David G. Burt JP, MPPremier
On behalf of the Government of Bermuda, it is my pleasure to extend wholehearted con-gratulations to the graduates of the Bermuda College Class of 2021.
Today, you will carry on a legacy that started in1974 when Bermuda College commenced providing a curriculum for the education andtraining of young Bermudians. The BermudaCollege legacy has produced outstandinglygifted and respected community, political andbusiness leaders whom you now join as you
complete your academic journey and embark on new endeavours.
What you have learned during these past few years whether in business,science, technical education, or hospitality will serve you throughout yourcareers. The Government believes each of you will carry on the legacy as youclose this chapter and begin another.
We also applaud your tenacity and perseverance. The past 14 months havesurely not been easy but you did not allow the difficult moments to curtailyour commitment to your studies and goals. The determination representedby each of you serves as an inspiration to us all at a time when we need itmost. The community joins with your family and friends to celebrate yoursuccess.
To quote one of the most successful international footballers of the 20thcentury, Pelé, “Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learn-ing, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learn-ing to do.” Let this accomplishment continually serve as a reminder that youpossess the will and ability to achieve great things no matter the obstaclesyou may face.
Sincerely,

MINISTER OF EDUCATION’S CONGRATULATORY REMARKS
The Hon. Diallo Rabain JP, MP
Minister of Education
Congratulations Bermuda College graduating Class of 2021.
Today is a special day, for you it culminates your introduction to tertiary education, and is a rite of passage to launch you into your next journey in life.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic has caused muchuncertainty, and changed the way we function, yourtenacity and work ethic have driven you to succeed.
You do not have to stop here! This graduation hasshown you that you can accomplish your goals whenyou commit to them.
I hope that all of you today take this personal accomplishment as an example that thesky's the limit - when you decide that you will go for it.
Although it may not be easy to see now, every accomplishment you achieve is addedto the world’s accomplishments. Your individual successes benefit society as a whole because when you succeed, you lighten the burden on your fellow man. When you succeed, you are in a position to give back to your community.
Imagine if every individual lived up to his or her own potential, think about how amaz-ing that would be, and how much better off the world would be.
While we may not have the power to inspire the entire world to strive for success, we do have the power to achieve it for ourselves. My challenge to you is to do all thatyou can to reach your full potential, take what you have learned and move forward withpassion and a driven determination to use your knowledge and your skills.
It is said that the two most significant times of your life are the day you are born, andthen the day you figure out why you were born.
As you continue to dive into continuing your path towards figuring out your purpose andanswering the question ‘why were you born?’, start by finding ways to connect directlyto the world for inspiration. With today’s technology at your fingertips, it is easy tosearch Google for an answer and for job inspiration. However, you can’t use Google for what is in your heart - the passion that drives you, lifts you up, and gives you real purpose and meaning in life.
I encourage you to not necessarily choose a road that is the most easily travelled. Significant accomplishments and achievements in life are not meant to come with ease.They require uncommon dedication and focus. Never allow limitations to confine yourabilities, even if those limitations have been set by those who are closest to you.
Take each new problem on with confidence, knowing that you have achieved greatheights and are equipped with the necessary tools to tackle anything that comes your way.
Remember, your country is here to support you and wish you all the best in the future.

Mr. Peter SousaChairman of the Board, Bermuda College
Congratulations Graduates!On behalf of the Bermuda College Board ofGovernors, I extend my congratulations to theClass of 2021.

Examples of such change are moving to remote online instructionand learning, temporary restrictions on free movement within Bermuda andterrible losses. Family, friends and colleagues have lost their lives; othershave lost their jobs; and others, their plans for the future. Despite all of thisyou persevered, and the faculty and staff were steadfast in carrying out theirimportant roles and responsibilities. Our community is strengthened anduplifted by your collective courage and all of us can be rightly proud of yourachievement. Bermuda will emerge stronger from this current challengewith your help.

~ John F. Kennedy
Dr. Duranda GreenePresident, Bermuda College
BC CLASS OF 2021...You Made It!
Leonardo da Vinci was once at work for a long period of time on a greatmasterpiece. He had laboured long to create this work of art and it was nearcompletion. Standing near him was a young student who spent much of his time with his mouth open, amazed at the master with the brush. Justbefore finishing the painting, da Vinci turned to the young student and gavehim the brush and said, “Now, you finish it.” The student protested andbacked away, but da Vinci said, “Will not what I have done inspire you to doyour best?”
Today the entire Bermuda College family of executives, administrators, faculty and support staff hand you the brush to continue to develop themasterpiece of your lives with full confidence; not asking, but knowing thatyou have been inspired by your time with us, and have learned to pressthrough and do your very best no matter what confronts you along the way.
We know that the past 15 months have presented you with challengesunique to the pandemic. Yet, you’ve risen to the top, defying the odds, and are today, joining the illustrious company of the Class of 2021 graduatesaround the world who have achieved and succeeded, just as you have. Congratulations! And thank you for allowing us to be a part of your aca-demic journey.
Remember us here at Bermuda College… truly, we will never forget you!
Magna mirabilia portendi!—Great and wonderful things are foretold...

ACADEMIC REGALIA
The processional and recessional parade of students, faculty and staffdressed in their academic regalia is a spectacular and inspiring sight and haslong been part of academic tradition. The day itself signifies a highpoint ofdedication and achievement and, for many, will signal a turning point intheir lives.
COLLEGE MACEThe Mace of Parliament or of an incorporated institution is the visible symbol of the authority granted to that body. When the Bermuda CollegeMace lies on the table at the public meeting of the College's Board of Governors known as Commencement, its presence signifies that the actions taken at that meeting, ie., the conferring of Associate Degrees,Diplomas and Certificates on the individuals who have earned them, aretaken under the authority granted to the Board of Governors by theBermuda College Act of 1974.
The Mace is made of Bermuda Cedar in three parts, joined together. At oneend is a large ball of birds-eye cedar turned from the growth found on adead stump on the Stonington property. It is supported by a cup whichwas turned from a piece taken from a cedar tree which had been takendown to make room to build the Technical Institute on Roberts Avenue in 1956. This building, under the name of the Commerce and TechnologyBuilding, became one of the first buildings used by the Bermuda Collegewhen it was incorporated in 1974. The straight shaft was turned from astraight piece of cedar which had grown on the property of the College'ssecond Chief Executive Officer and first President, Dr. A.C. Hollis Hallett.The Mace was made in the Carpentry and Joinery workshop of the Collegeon Roberts Avenue by J. Edgar Castle in 1979; Mr. Castle was then the College's lecturer in Carpentry and Joinery. The Mace was first used at theCollege's first Commencement in 1979 and was carried in procession by itsmaker. Today it is carried by the ‘Employee of the Year’.
ACADEMIC REGALIA is the term used to describe the special dress, emblems, and symbols associated with higher education. Like colleges anduniversities all across the world, our ceremony observes many of the tradi-tions of academic regalia.
The caps and gowns seen today had origins dating back to medieval timeswhen churches oversaw all educational institutions. Students wore heavyblack gowns, similar to those of the clergy with hoods that could be pulledup for warmth. Today, different styles of gowns are worn to represent different levels of education, many of which have been borrowed from thetraditions of Britain’s colleges and universities. For example, the early students of Oxford and Cambridge universities wore white fur-trimmedhoods as they received their baccalaureate degrees. As a result, white became the colour representing the arts and literature. As a traditionalcolour of the church, red came to represent theology; the green of herbswas associated with the study of medicine; golden yellow, represented
17
the wealth of knowledge science produced, or perhaps the early goal ofscience students to create gold! Today 26 colours represent virtually every field of study. At Bermuda College, those students graduating withcertificates wear turquoise stoles with silver bars; those with diplomas,turquoise chevron hoods; and graduates of associate degrees receive blackhoods with a turquoise and silver chevron – the College’s colours.
Members of the faculty and staff also parade in regalia representing theirlevel of educational achievement. Those who hold baccalaureate degreeswear black gowns with three-foot long hoods. Master’s degree recipientswear black gowns with long square-cut sleeves and hoods that are three-and-a-half feet long; while those with doctoral degrees may wear black,maroon or navy gowns with four-foot long hoods. The gowns have velvetfacings on the front, and three velvet crossbars on each of the sleeves. Theymay also wear the traditional square mortarboard caps or a beret-like capmade of velvet.
Whatever the distinctive robes you see before you today, you can be assured of the many hours of study and hard work that the wearers have invested to hold title to their achievements. Well done! Academic regalia link us to the past and unite us with the aspirations of those who will succeed us in the common pursuit of higher learning!
______________________________________________________________NOTE: Students graduating with a programme GPA in the range of 3.00 to 3.49 will be designatedas having graduated with Merit. Those with a programme GPA of 3.50 or greater will be desig-nated as having graduated with Distinction. These designations will appear on the official signedand embossed associate degrees and certificates of the College.
