Presentation of Honorary Degree Recipient Alberto Ibargüen Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa

6 7

Among their profound effects on contemporary life, new communica-tions media are transforming the business and practice of journalism. Spearheading innovative and influential efforts to fulfill journalism’s enormous potential to benefit humankind is Alberto Ibargüen.

As president and chief executive officer of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Ibargüen has made a unique impact on contempo-rary culture and education through a dazzling array of entrepreneurial initiatives that are helping to define the future of global journalism. In every aspect of his personality and career, Ibargüen exemplifies the foundation’s defined mission of sustaining democracy “by leading jour-nalism to its best possible future in the 21st century.”

For his unique contributions to news publishing, the business com-munity, and humanitarian enterprises, Alberto Ibargüen is receiving a Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa.

Ibargüen lived in Puerto Rico until the age of 8, when his Cuban-born father brought the family to New Jersey. After graduating from Wesleyan University, he responded to the pull of 1960s idealism and served in the Peace Corps in Venezuela. Upon his return, he went to the University of Pennsylvania Law School. After graduating in 1974, he became a legal-aid attorney in Hartford, Connecticut for several years before joining the local newspaper, the Hartford Courant, as senior vice president for finance and administration.

Ibargüen then worked at Newsday before becoming publisher of The Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald, its Spanish-language sister paper. Under his leadership, El Nuevo Herald won Spain’s Ortega y Gasset Prize for excellence in journalism and The Miami Herald won three Pulitzer Prizes.

In 2005 Ibargüen took on the new challenge of leading the Knight Foundation—just as journalism was seeking to redefine its societal role in the exploding world of digital media. Almost immediately he di-rected more than $100 million to more than 100 projects aimed at ev-ery aspect of the business. Knight Foundation grants seeded small-town websites and linked universities with professional news outlets; they supported news organizations’ efforts to use online media and chal-lenged citizens to use Web-based communication to build community.

In 2007 Ibargüen became chairman of the Newseum, the nation’s museum of the history and current evolution of journalism, located on

the Mall in Washington, D.C. While it might have seemed unusual to open a mu-seum dedicated to journalism just at the time of the profession’s greatest survival crisis of the modern age, Ibargüen recalls that he thought it exactly the proper moment to celebrate the good that jour-nalism had done while spurring a more intense investigation of journalism’s future.

In addition to his turn as chairman of the board of the Public Broadcasting Service, Ibargüen has chaired the World Wide Web Foundation, which was

founded with the goal of promoting a free and universal Internet by one of the Web’s developers, Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Ibargüen also has served on the boards of the nonprofit newsgathering site ProPublica and the nonprofit Committee to Protect Journalists. He won a citation from Columbia University for his work to protect journalists in Latin America.

Today Ibargüen directs the Knight Foundation’s support of informed and engaged communities. While journalism may be at a watershed moment, says Ibargüen, it is also an exciting one. “Information is a core need for communities in a democracy and a core need for commerce,” he told a University of Miami Global Business Forum. “The rules are yet to be made.”

Ibargüen is currently a trustee emeritus of the Newseum and a direc-tor of PepsiCo, AMR Corporation (the parent of American Airlines), AOL, and the Council on Foreign Relations. He continues to serve on the Secretary of State’s Foreign Policy Advisory Committee, to which he was named by former Secretary Hillary Clinton. He has been particu-larly active on the boards of education and arts organizations, including his alma mater, Wesleyan University, as well as Smith College, the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, and the University of Miami.

For his distinguished leadership on behalf of the local, national, and global journalistic and educational communities, and for his visionary efforts to forge a positive and productive future for the news organiza-tions that inform our individual and collective lives, we are pleased to honor Alberto Ibargüen today.

Commencement ProgramAcademic Honors and Regalia

The ceremonies of commencement immerse us in the rich tradition of academic honors and dress that reaches back to the early days of the world’s oldest universities.

The University of Miami awards degrees in three basic divisions: the doctorate, master’s, and baccalaureate, which can be traced to medieval times. The student receiving a “first degree in arts” was crowned with a garland of barberries, hence “baccalaureate” and “bachelor.” The master’s degree was a license to teach (Licentia docendi), so the “master” was an appropriate title. The doctor was even better qualified to teach, for this degree required advanced study, independent research, and defense of a “thesis.” These standards still apply to the doctorate, except for those conferred honoris causa (as honorary degrees) for meritorious service in public or private endeavor.

Some degrees are awarded with special recognition. For those who have achieved appropriate standards in their work, the words cum laude (with praise), magna cum laude (with high praise), and summa cum laude (with highest praise) are used. Students who have met formal scholarly demands, including both specified courses and high overall grade averages, may graduate with “General Honors.” These achievements are recorded on diplomas and in official transcripts.

From medieval practice, academic dress has three items: cap, gown, and hood. In reviving the use of these items for the United States, an

intercollegiate commission in 1895 drafted a code that most universities, including the University of Miami, follow.

For all degrees, the mortarboard is the traditional cap. The tassel may be gold for a doctor or may indicate the field of study.

The bachelor’s gown is black with long, pointed, open sleeves. The master’s gown is black with a long, closed sleeve hanging below the elbow. The doctor’s gown is black and is distinguished by three bars of velvet on a full sleeve.

The academic hood is the identifying symbol of the degree. Its length indicates which degree it represents: three feet for the baccalaureate, three-and-a-half for the master’s, and four for the doctorate. The lining indicates the college or university that awarded the degree. University of Miami hoods are lined in orange, green, and white. The color of the velvet band represents the academic discipline. The most frequently seen colors are white for arts, yellow for science, pink for music, sapphire blue for philosophy, purple for law, scarlet for divinity, green for medicine, light blue for education, drab for business, orange for engineering, blue violet for architecture, gray for general studies, and apricot for nursing.

President Donna E. Shalala wears an orange robe with black velvet bars and green piping—the green and orange reflecting the University of Miami’s school colors. Her hood is lined in a different shade of orange, indicating that she received her doctoral degree from Syracuse University.

Commencement ProgramIn the Steps of Champions

Desmond Child has been one of the most successful, versatile songwriters in the music business for more than two decades. This Grammy Award-winning singer and composer first enjoyed success as an artist (with his group Desmond Child & Rouge), then went on to co-write numerous hits for Kiss, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Joan Jett, Michael Bolton, Cher, and Ricky Martin. Over the course of his career, Child’s

creative talent has resulted in more than three dozen Top 40 hits.In fall 2004, Child gave the song “In the Steps of Champions”

to the University of Miami. Co-written and produced by Child and Adreas Carlsson, the song represents the extraordinary achievements of the University, both on and off the playing field, and captures the spirit of what it means to be a Miami Hurricane.

“In the Steps of Champions” is written by Desmond Child and sung by students from the Frost School of Music.

INTRO

In the Steps of Champions In the Steps of Champions

We will walk, tall and proud To the place where the story begins

In the Steps of Champions In the Steps of Champions

We will reach the top of the sky Where the glory road ends

And united we stand We’re the U of M.

VERSE 1

I feel adrenaline rushing Like fuel through my veins

I’m set on all systems go And it’s not just a game

Cause I’ve worked day and night All my life for this one shining hour

Got my eyes on the target I won’t stop till I hit the goal.

CHORUS

In the Steps of Champions We’re gonna fight

Follow the light to the end

In the Steps of Champions This is our time

We will be heroes again

In the Steps of Champions We’re gonna fight

Follow the light to the end

In the Steps of Champions This is our time

We will be heroes again We’re the U of M.

Commencement ProgramThe Music of the Ceremony

Great universities throughout the country begin their half-time performances with a special fanfare consisting of small portions of their school fight songs and alma mater. The fanfare signals the start of halftime festivities, exciting the crowd and encouraging loyal fans to remain in their seats during the band’s performance. Following the Miami Hurricane’s National Championship season in 2001-2002, David Lambert, D.M.A. ’05, wrote a similar fanfare for the University

of Miami. “UM Fanfare” was premiered by the University of Miami Band of the Hour during the 2004 Miami Hurricane home football opener versus Florida State University. It has since been performed as a prelude to all Band of the Hour performances and has now become a part of the University of Miami’s commencement to announce the opening of the ceremony.

University of Miami Fanfare

Commencement ceremonies are rich in history, tradition, and ritual. One of the timeless traditions is the music. Over the years, the University of Miami has had a number of talented musicians and composers contribute to that history and tradition. In the spring of

2011, the “President’s Processional Fanfare” was commissioned by the Office of Commencement as part of a composition competition. The winning composition, written by Logan Robert Anderson, premiered during the May 2011 Commencement exercises.

President’s Processional Fanfare

Henry Fillmore was an ardent supporter, friend, and benefactor of the University of Miami Band. After retiring to Miami, he quickly adopted the Band of the Hour at the University of Miami as his own. As a result, he was named “permanent guest conductor” of the band, and in appreciation of his dedication, the University awarded Fillmore an honorary doctorate in music. Fillmore’s prominence as a band composer and his tireless dedication to the field of music remain his legacy. Benefiting most from his musical passion and artistry was the

University of Miami Band, to which he bequeathed most of his estate. The Henry Fillmore Band Hall, dedicated in 1959 along with the Fillmore Museum, is a symbol of that legacy.

The recessional music today is but a small part of his life’s work. Each selection has a unique relationship to Miami and the University. The Miami March was dedicated to the community of Greater Miami, which enthusiastically supported Fillmore and his music.

Commencement ProgramThe Mace

The academic mace, an enduring symbol of institutional authority and prestige, is a vestige from prehistoric times. First used as a battle weapon, the mace evolved into a ceremonial staff carried in processions of royalty, magistrates, and church or university officials.

The University of Miami’s current mace dates back to 1986, sculpted by UM professor of art William Ward. He chose a contemporary design, one that reflects the University’s timelessness and perpetual growth from a young institution to one of national prominence. The clean lines and polished silver surface are elegant, dignified, and reflective of colors, textures, and forms in the ever-changing environment. Ward indicated that timelessness is further

represented by the mace’s geometric design. Rather than employing symbols like books, candles, or globes, he noted that “these geometric shapes are not tied to fad or style but are an integral part of our world. There are obvious relationships to mathematics and the sciences, and as the mace is rotated, some of the planes at the top resemble letters. Its complexity is like the unfolding plot of a good story.”

The University of Miami’s current mace serves as a symbolic weapon to protect the ideals of truth, justice, and learning. During the commencement ceremony, it is carried at the head of the academic procession by the Grand Marshal, whose symbolic duty is the protection of the University, its people, and its processes.

Commencement ProgramThe President's Medal

Established by President Donna E. Shalala in 2003, the University of Miami President’s Medal honors individuals for their outstanding leadership and distinguished accomplishments—in their fields of expertise as well as for their contributions to society. Past recipients include actor Michael J. Fox, for his commitment to raising awareness and research funding for Parkinson’s disease; Billy Cypress, chairman of

the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, for his efforts to preserve and share the rich heritage of the Native American community; as well as many University leaders for their longstanding service to the University of Miami community.

The President’s Medal is embossed with the Great Seal of the University of Miami.

The Great Seal of the University of Miami symbolizes exceptional scholarship, a limitless quest for knowledge, and an abiding commitment to service shared by University faculty, staff, and students. The Great Seal includes a stylized sun and palm tree, as well as a shield with the traditional symbols of education—a key, a book, and a torch. The key signifies the unlocking, discovery, or re-evaluation of

learning and knowledge; the book holds the Latin words for discovery, preservation, and dissemination of knowledge; and the torch symbolizes the spread and dissemination of learning. Below the shield is the University’s Latin motto, from the Book of Esdras, Magna Est Veritas: Great Is Truth.
