ACADEMIC DRESS The custom of wearing academic dress extends back to medieval Europe and the revival of interest in learning that arose in the universities. The dress is an adaptation of the costume of the monastic order, as most scholars of that time were also members of the clergy. Rules governing academic dress at American colleges and universities come from an intercollegiate code written in 1895. The mortarboard-style cap is worn for all degrees. The doctor’s cap may be made of velvet; the doctor’s tassel may be gold. Other tassels may be black or the color of the field of learning. Tassels are worn on the left side by those who already have a bachelor’s degree. Each of the three academic degrees—bachelor, master, and doctor—has its own distinctive gown and hood. The bachelor’s gown is worn closed and has long, pointed sleeves. The master’s gown, which is designed to be worn open, has a long, closed sleeve, and arms are passed through slits near the elbows. The doctor’s gown, also designed to be worn open, has a full, open sleeve with three bars of velvet. The color of the velvet bars may be black or the same color as the trim of the hood. The hood, which was originally a cowl that was slipped over the head for warmth, is the most colorful and distinctive feature of American academic regalia. Bachelor’s and master’s hoods—three feet and three-and-a-half feet long, respectively—are of similar design, black, and pointed at the base. The doctor’s hood is four feet long with a full shape. The silk lining of the hood represents the institution that granted the degree. Its velvet border indicates the field of learning: Agriculture—Maize Library Science—Lemon Arts, Letters, Humanities—White Medicine—Green Business and Commerce—Drab Music—Pink Economics—Copper Philosophy—Blue Education—Light Blue Public Health—Salmon Engineering—Orange Physical Education—Sage Green Fine Arts, Architecture—Brown Science—Golden Yellow Forestry—Russet Theology and Divinity—Scarlet Laws—Purple When taking photographs, please do not impede the view of other guests.

RU TH SH AP IRO LENROW ’ 74 Ruth Shapiro Lenrow had a career in finance and banking for more than 35 years. In addition to her full-time career, Ruth always felt the need to give back to organizations and institutions that embody not only her values, but also her spirit of giving to others no matter their background or circumstances. Her volunteer life included many hours on the Finance Committee of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (BSO), where she was also the chair of the BSO’s Women’s Leadership Forum. Additionally, she served as an advisory board member of the Johns Hopkins Pediatric Oncology Center, the chair of the Blaustein Fund for Education, and co-chair of Young Leadership of the Associated: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore. The Daily Record recently honored Ruth as a Top 100 Woman of Maryland for the third time, putting her into the Circle of Excellence as recognition for her business career and her volunteer service. All of these activities are eclipsed by the commitment and volunteer time she has given to Goucher College. A board member since 2007, Ruth served on virtually every committee of the board and as both the secretary and vice chair prior to assuming the role as chair three years ago. Ruth is most proud of the relationships she has developed with students, faculty, and staff. She served as a mentor to many members of the Goucher community, which she considers a vital part of her giving back. Her philanthropy led her to actively participate in the [UNDAUNTED] campaign and as an advocate for other fundraising initiatives, such as the Janet Cane Fisher ’38 Fund. During her time as chair, Goucher has undergone many changes, such as program prioritization, a presidential transition, the Middle States accreditation, a restructuring of the board, the hiring of a new provost, numerous staff changes, creation of a five-year strategic plan, and COVID-19. Through all of this, Ruth’s leadership, support, and direction have left Goucher in a stronger position to withstand future headwinds that are present in higher education in general and small liberal arts colleges in particular. For these contributions, and for her tireless advocacy, we are proud to award the John Franklin Goucher Medal to Ruth Shapiro Lenrow ’74. 4
CYNT H IA A . T ERRY Cynthia Terry has been Goucher’s chaplain and director of religious and spiritual life since 2005. She has supported students of various religious traditions, particularly those from minority religious traditions, where there are few resources in the surrounding community. With student leaders, she created Diwali, Eid, and Samhain celebrations; played Holi on the Great Lawn; provided iftars for students fasting during Ramadan; and hosted a wedding fair displaying traditions from different religions and cultures. Cynthia has led student bereavement groups every semester, supporting dozen of students experiencing grief during college. With Roshelle Kades ’11, Cynthia co- created Goucher’s exemplary Peer Listening program, directing it for 11 years. Cynthia has provided spiritual and emotional care for students, staff, and faculty in times of personal crisis and struggle, as well as gathered the community during our communal experiences of grief and loss. Cynthia also created the Staff Excellence Awards, which recognize staff who demonstrate extraordinary work on behalf of the college and students and embody the Community Principles in their work and actions. For the last two years, Cynthia has served as chair of the Administrative Employees Association. Prior to Goucher, Cynthia served as associate university chaplain at Yale University for more than a decade. In her work at Yale, she co-facilitated bereavement groups for students, taught in the Yale Divinity School, provided pastoral care and counseling, organized programming for multi-faith services, and served as a freshman advisor. She regularly made presentations for the women’s center, orientation events, sororities, and gay and lesbian peer counselors. Cynthia has served as vice president, president, historian, and membership secretary for the National Association of College and University Chaplains as well as mentored many new chaplain colleagues. Before attending Yale Divinity School, Cynthia spent two years working in the Democratic Republic of the Congo as a primary school teacher. She holds a master of divinity degree from Yale University and a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education from James Madison University, and she is ordained in the United Church of Christ. Cynthia is married to Mimi Walters and they have two young adult children, Connor and Dylan. For these contributions and her dedication to the college and our community, we are proud to award the John Franklin Goucher Medal to Cynthia A. Terry. 5
M AYOR BRANDON M. SCO T T Brandon M. Scott is the 52nd mayor of Baltimore, working to end gun violence, restore the public’s trust in government, and change Baltimore for the better. Mayor Scott was unanimously elected president of the Baltimore City Council by his colleagues in May 2019. As council president, Mayor Scott developed and released the first-ever City Council president legislative agenda, focused on building safer, stronger communities, cleaning up city government, investing in Baltimore’s young people, and centering equity. Previously, Mayor Scott served on the City Council representing Baltimore’s 2nd District. He was first elected in 2011 at the age of 27 and is one of the youngest people ever elected to the Baltimore City Council. During his first term, Mayor Scott emerged as a leading voice in reducing violence in Baltimore and reinstated Council Oversight of the Baltimore Police Department by holding quarterly hearings. He believes that reducing violence will require a holistic, all-hands-on-deck approach, one that recognizes violence is fundamentally a public health issue. Mayor Scott led legislative initiatives that created extensive crime data sharing and online reporting of crimes by the Baltimore Police Department. In 2016, Mayor Scott introduced and passed legislation creating an open data policy in Baltimore. In early 2018, then-Councilman Scott introduced and passed monumental legislation on equity in Baltimore. His equity assessment program law will require all city agencies to operate through a lens of equity and all operating budgets, capital budgets, and proposed legislation to be weighed through a lens of equity. That legislation is in the early stages of implementation. Mayor Scott is a rising star in politics. He was a member of the Young Elected Officials Network and served as the secretary of Housing and Urban Development for YEO’s America’s Cabinet. He also served as the chair of the National League of Cities’ Large Cities Council. Mayor Scott is a community leader, a public servant, and a proud lifelong resident of Baltimore City. Mayor Scott is a graduate of MERVO High School and St. Mary’s College of Maryland. He lives in Baltimore’s Frankford neighborhood in Northeast Baltimore. 6
