SHU-2020-Commencement-Program

April 30, 2021 • 6:30 P.M May 1, 2021 • 10:30 A.M May 1, 2021 • 4:30 P.M Prudential Center Newark, New Jersey Welcome The entire University community extends cordial greetings to parents, spouses, relatives and friends gathered here for this significant ceremony For our graduates, today’s commencement solemnly recognizes their academic achievement at Seton Hall University and inaugurates a new chapter in their lives ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE LATIN WORDING ON THE SETON HALL DIPLOMA THE REGENTS OF SETON HALL UNIVERSITY TO ALL WHO READ THIS DOCUMENT GREETING IN THE LORD We testify that, with the power given to us by the supreme authority of the State of New Jersey, we have promoted to the degree of with all the honors, rights and privileges appertaining to this degree Wherefore, so that its authenticity may be greater and the attestation the fuller, we have undertaken to reinforce this document with our common seal and our hand From the academic halls at South Orange on the 18th day of the month of May, in the Year of Our Lord two thousand and twenty Archbishop of Newark Chair, Board of Regents University President Hazard Zet Forward In his diary for June 25, 1857, Bishop James Roosevelt Bayley wrote: “Yesterday we held the first Commencement of Seton Hall College … The weather was beautiful … everything went off well.” Faced with a dilemma — how to educate his immigrant flock — Bayley, the first Bishop of Newark, opted in 1856 for the formation of a college that would enable Catholics in New Jersey to achieve their rightful place in society Since that time, the College’s original student body of five has grown to more than 10,000 Today, Seton Hall is the oldest diocesan university in the United States and has overcome numerous challenges during its storied history It survived a move from its original home in Madison, New Jersey — currently the site of the College of Saint Elizabeth — to South Orange; a Civil War that forced many similar institutions to close; several disastrous fires; four major international wars; and at least five economic depressions — all menaces to the existence of any institution The College, named in honor of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, aunt of Bishop Bayley, endowed only with the dedication of generations of devoted scholars and administrators, managed not only survival, but growth and academic distinction In successive expansions, the College converted its original mansion and adjacent buildings to a fully developed campus; grew from one school to 10 — the College of Arts and Sciences, Stillman School of Business, College of Nursing, College of Education and Human Services, Immaculate Conception Seminary School of Theology, School of Health and Medical Sciences, School of Diplomacy and International Relations, School of Law and, most recently, the College of Communication and the Arts and Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine at Seton Hall University Over the years, the University transitioned from an exclusively male institution to one proudly coeducational; rose from granting bachelor’s degrees to the conferring of doctoral degrees in science, education, nursing, medicine and health sciences; expanded from the personal library of the president to the Walsh Library, which houses more than one million volumes; and evolved from an exclusively clerical institution to one in which clergy and laity join talents and energy to provide exemplary instruction For 164 years, Seton Hall’s mission has been to form servant leaders, to develop the whole student — the mind, the heart and the spirit Seton Hall challenges students to improve the world through excellence, integrity, compassion and service To keep abreast of the expanding horizons of its scholars and professors and to address the spiritual and social needs of a growing student body, the University has expanded its facilities, combining the resources of a large university with the personal attention of a small liberal arts college In 2018, Seton Hall joined with Hackensack Meridian Health to establish the only private medical school in New Jersey The school opened a new Interdisciplinary Health Sciences campus that also houses the College of Nursing and School of Health and Medical Sciences By training students in an environment that mirrors how modern medical facilities operate, the University and its partner are establishing a new national model for healthcare education Recent campus improvements have included Bethany Hall, a new campus welcome center dedicated to President Emeritus Monsignor Robert Sheeran ’67, S.T.D.; an expansion and renovation of the cafeteria in the Bishop Dougherty University Center; as well as renovations to the Richie Regan Recreation and Athletic Center and the addition of an Athletics Hall of Fame In terms of faculty research and publication, in the numbers of alumni who have contributed immeasurably to the economic, political and educational life of the state and the nation; in the creation of institutes that have expanded the horizons of the University to include a wide range of pursuits; in the increase of grants and awards won on the basis of achievement and anticipated research success, the University proclaims a suitably bold theme — FORWARD IN FAITH The University Crest A crest or coat of arms is intended to provide instant recognition The Seton Hall University crest goes far back into antiquity Associated as it is with both the Seton and Bayley families and with the Archdiocese of Newark, one would expect to discover in the present University crest some indication of all three relationships Because the University traces its relationship to the Seton family, the original Seton devices are on the crest The three crescents, referring to the “Sea-Towns” of which the family was the warden, and the Charge, that is, the motto, Hazard Zet Forward, have been carried into the present crest The wavy band across the head of the crest refers to the Archdiocese of Newark, which uses a crest with three such bands to indicate the three rivers associated with the See of Newark: the Hudson, the Passaic and the Hackensack The book surmounting the crest is the usual symbol for an institution dedicated to the pursuit of learning On the open book are superimposed the three globes taken from the crest of Archbishop Bayley, the founder of the University So the amended crest, created during the presidency of Bishop Dougherty, bears the symbol of the Seton family and of Saint Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton for whom the University was named, together with the motto — as significant now as it was 1,000 years ago — Hazard Zet Forward (in spite of all hazards, go forward); the symbol of Archbishop Bayley, the founder; the symbol of the Archdiocese, whose Archbishop is chairman of the Board of Trustees; and the open book, universal symbol of colleges and universities Academic Costume Academic costume is nearly eight centuries old In medieval Europe, townspeople wore clothing of distinctive materials and colors to indicate their positions in life — their wealth or status, their guilds or professions It was only natural, therefore, when students in the medieval universities of Paris, Bologna, Oxford and Cambridge began to organize into guilds, that they would develop distinctive costumes for bachelors (apprentices), masters (teachers) and doctors (teachers who had completed post-graduate study) Distinctions appeared most in the hoods American usage has been standardized by an intercollegiate code, which takes the Oxford costume as a starting point The bachelor’s gown has long, pointed sleeves, and the master’s gown has oblong sleeves, open at the wrist Both are untrimmed The doctor’s gown has round, open sleeves, with three bars of velvet and velvet facing The gown is normally black, but some institutions have adopted colored gowns The black cap, or mortarboard, also derives from the Oxford costume The tassel, usually black, is worn on the right side before the conferral of the bachelor’s degree and then is worn on the left A gold tassel indicates doctors and presidents The Legend of the Stole of Gratitude Every graduate has had a special person who, through moral or financial support, made a big difference in his or her life The Seton Hall University Stole of Gratitude offers an opportunity to say, “Thanks for helping me make it through.” “Thanks for making it possible for me to succeed.” “I didn’t this alone.” The Seton Hall Stole of Gratitude is worn during the graduation ceremony After the ceremony, the new graduate presents the Seton Hall Stole of Gratitude to someone who provided extraordinary support or who has helped with wisdom, words of encouragement, or financial assistance Immediately after graduation, the graduate may take the stole from around his/her neck and place it around the neck of the recipient Presenters often write a few words of love and appreciation on the back of the Stole using a permanent, fine-tipped marker Friends and family of the graduate may autograph the front or back The Seton Hall Stole of Gratitude is a lasting symbol of love, appreciation and academic accomplishment The Mace The mace, which is carried by the Grand Marshal, is a symbol of authority Honors Program The Honors Program, designed for students of exceptional ability, requires
