To Our Guests
   Welcome to the Spring Commencement Exercises of Morgan State University. Due to the disruption of in-person
  commencement exercises for Fall and Spring 2020 as a result of the pandemic, Morgan State University will honor
  degree recipients in three separate ceremonies: first, a ceremony to honor undergraduate degree recipients from the
 Spring, Fall and Winter of 2020; a second ceremony to honor 2020 and 2021 graduates receiving master’s or doctoral
degrees; and, lastly, the culmination of the series of ceremonies, the 144th Spring Commencement Exercises of Morgan
  State University, honoring Spring 2021 graduates. The University solicits your cooperation in helping to sustain the
dignity and solemnity of this happy occasion. We respectfully request that you refrain from engaging in conversation as
well as moving about while the Commencement Exercises are in progress. Once the exercises have begun, only members
 of the authorized working press and authorized photographers are permitted on the arena floor. We ask our guests to
  stand as the academic procession moves into the arena and to remain standing until after the singing of the Hymn.
                                                         Thank you.

                The list of graduates that appears in this booklet is tentative and contingent upon satisfactory
 completion of all requirements for graduation, and participation in these Commencement Exercises cannot be interpreted as
                       having completed all requirements for graduation from Morgan State University.

                                                     LIFT EV’RY VOICE AND SING
                                              Composed by James Weldon Johnson and J. Rosamond Johnson

The Presidential Chain of Office
                                        The Morgan State University Presidential Chain of Office is bestowed upon each President
                                        of the University at an official inauguration ceremony and is worn by the President at
                                        Commencement and all official occasions requiring the wearing of academic regalia. It is a
                                        permanent insignia of office and is passed down to each succeeding president of the
                                        University.
                                          The Morgan State University Presidential Chain of Office is cast in bronze with an antique
                                          patina and consists of a chain of 1 1/2-inch medallions engraved with the names of the
                                          presidents of the institution and the four periods and dates in its evolution: Centenary
                                          Biblical Institute, Morgan College, Morgan State College and Morgan State University. The
                                          medallions for the current and past presidents drape around the front, and the medallions
                                          noting the periods in the history of the institution drape around the back of the academic
                                          regalia. Near the bottom of the Chain are two banners with laurel leaves, attached to two
                                          round medallions bearing the official logo of the University. At the bottom of the Chain is a
                                          banner, crested with laurel leaves, bearing the inscription President, below which sits the
                                          official Presidential Medallion, a 3-inch round medal with a double-faced design embossed
in bas-relief with the Seal of the University and its colors on the front and engraved with the University logo on the verso plane.
Below the Presidential Medallion is a banner inscribed with the name of the current President.
The Presidential Chain was designed by the Inauguration Committee for Morgan’s Tenth Inaugurated President, Dr. David Wilson,
in collaboration with the Office of Public Relations and Strategic Communications, and crafted by Medallic Art Company of
Northwest Territorial Mint in Dayton, Nevada, in 2010. It was donated by Dr. Clara I. Adams, Morgan State University Class of
1954, former Special Assistant to the President, and Mr. Wilbert L. Walker, Morgan State University Class of 1950.

                                             The Morgan State University Mace
                 The mace (Arabic, amūd; Latin, mascea) was originally a weapon: a short handle topped with a metal ball, its
                 bludgeoning force eclipsed that of a club. A common sight in medieval armies, the mace also served as a symbol of
                 authority, appearing on the seals of such monarchs as Edward the Confessor, Philip Augustus and Frederick
                 Barbarossa. In academic settings, a bedellus (lay church official) processed with the mace during commencement;
                 hence, it was adopted by colleges and universities throughout the West and, in the United States, is usually borne
                 by the Chief Faculty Marshal in academic processions.
                 During its Sesquicentennial Celebration — December 2016 through December 2017 — Morgan State University
                 retired its sixty-year-old mace and replaced it with a longer mace that can accommodate the names of additional
                 Presidents over the years and that displays more prominently the insignia of the four major periods of its
                 development: Centenary Biblical Institute, Morgan College, Morgan State College and Morgan State University.
                 The new mace, crafted by the Medallic Art Company in Dayton, Nevada, has a 36-inch-tall fluted mahogany staff
                 with 14 antique brass banners encircling it, the first 10 engraved with the names and terms of the inaugurated
                 Presidents of the University. The mace head is a four-sided mahogany crown that bears images of three iconic
                 Morgan structures and, on one side, the seal of the University, all in bronze, and, at its top the traditional flame of
                 knowledge. The base of the mace is adorned with a tiered brass foot. The new mace was designed by the
                 Sesquicentennial Celebration Coordinating Committee, and it is a Sesquicentennial Gift to the University from
                 the MSU Alumni Association.

                                  CHIEF FACULTY MARSHALS OF THE UNIVERSITY
                         1914–1948 Dr. Milton L. Calloway                1974–2009 Dr. Clayton C. Stansbury
                         1948–1966 Dr. George H. Spaulding               2009– Dr. Milford A. Jeremiah
                         1966–1974 Dr. Nathaniel K. Proctor

                                                                   5
The Dr. Iva G. Jones Medallion Emblem
                                   Some colleagues and community friends of the late Dr. Iva Gwendolyn Jones, Professor Emerita of
                                   the Morgan State University Department of English, honored her as a scholar, leader and teacher,
                                   by extending as a gift to Morgan State University the Dr. Iva G. Jones Medallion Emblem, which is
                                   the conception of the late Assistant Professor Emeritus Samuel L. Green, who was one of the two
                                   co-designers of the symbol. The second co-designer, and medallion silversmith, was retired
                                   Associate Professor Kenneth Royster.
                                   The Emblem fabric approximates in width the border of the master’s hood, is velvet and employs
                                   the University colors — blue and orange. The detachable chain, which surmounts the emblem and
                                   helps to drape the wearer’s front and shoulders, bears silver mounts that hold the medallions in
                                   suspension.
                              Appraisers have assessed each silver medallion at more than 10 times the value of the United
                              States silver dollar, which the medallions resemble. The twenty-one (21) emblem medallions —
                              which the Philadelphia Mint created exclusively for the Negro Commemorative Society
(Membership Number 1043) — display the images of African-American notables such as Crispus Attucks, Benjamin Banneker,
Henry O. Tanner, Lorraine Hansberry, Mary Church Terrell, Alaine Locke and Ralph Bunche.
Annually, colleagues, employing University-approved criteria, select an individual to wear the Emblem. Those honored by this
selection are persons who reflect vividly in their professional lives the qualities distinguishing the individual whose name the
Emblem bears.

                                            International Award
The Dr. Sandye Jean McIntyre, II, International Award, a sash designed and tailored specifically for this
award, is inspired by the diplomatic sash customarily worn for formal occasions by ambassadors, consuls and
other dignitaries. It is red satin accented with a traditional rosette and blue, white, yellow and green ribbons,
representing the flags of the United States of America, France, Senegal and other countries with which Dr.
McIntyre had contact in his diplomatic and academic careers. In the center front of the sash, a specially
commissioned gold medal (struck by Charles Nusinov and Sons) features a world map enclosed by laurel
wreaths and the name of the award.
The Award was established in 1997 and conferred upon Dr. McIntyre at the annual Founders Day
Convocation in 1997. It is given to that member of the Morgan faculty who demonstrates extraordinary
commitment to global learning and international understanding and who promotes international programs
at Morgan.

The Academic Regalia
The traditional black caps and gowns worn by students and faculty in the academic procession have been the historic regalia of
scholars since medieval times. Because many scholars of that period were members of monastic orders, the academic regalia
probably represents an adaptation of ecclesiastical dress.
A uniform code for academic regalia was drafted by an intercollegiate commission in 1893 and has since been adopted by the
majority of colleges and universities in the United States. Each of the three academic degrees — bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral —
has its own distinctive gown and hood. The gown representing the bachelor’s degree is distinguished by its long pointed sleeve. The
master’s gown has a longer, narrow, closed sleeve, extending below the knee. The arm is passed through a slit at the elbow. In
contrast, the doctor’s gown is faced with wide velvet bands, which may be black or a color indicating the general field of learning of
the wearer — for example, dark blue for philosophy, green for medicine and purple for law.
The most colorful and distinctive item of the academic regalia is the hood, which passes around the neck and extends down the
back. The doctor’s hood is the largest, and the bachelor’s hood is the smallest. Often the use of a bachelor’s hood is omitted. The
wearer’s field of learning is indicated by the color of the hood and the tassel. Among the colors of hoods are:

         Architecture ........................................ Blue Violet           Music ................................................................. Pink
         Arts, Letters, Humanities ........................... White                 Nursing ......................................................... Apricot
         City Planning ....................................... Blue Violet           Philosophy ................................................ Dark Blue
         Commerce, Accountancy, Business ............. Drab                          Physical Education ................................. Sage Green
         Education ............................................. Light Blue          Public Administration ......................... Peacock Blue
         Engineering ................................................ Orange         Public Health ....................................... Salmon Pink
         Fine Arts ..................................................... Brown       Science ............................................... Golden Yellow
         Human Ecology ......................................... Purple              Social Science ................................................ Citron
         Journalism ................................................ Crimson         Social Work ................................................... Citron
         Library Science ........................................... Lemon           Speech (Oratory) ............................................. Silver
         Medicine ..................................................... Green        Theology and Divinity ................................... Scarlet

The colors of the silk lining exposed in the center of the hood are those of the college or university which conferred the degree. The
tassel may be either black or the color of the field of learning. The tassel of the doctor’s cap is usually gold.

                                                                                 7
Morgan State University Makes Note of the Centennial
                               Anniversary of the 19th Amendment
                                                     Ratified on August 18, 1920

Morgan State University joins the nation in observing the centennial anniversary of the 19th Amendment. As the state of
Maryland’s largest Historically Black College or University (HBCU), Morgan specifically commemorates the leadership and legacies
of African-American women suffragists. Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman are all honored by
buildings on Morgan’s campus that bear their names.
The late Rosalyn Terborg-Penn, Ph.D., University Professor of History Emerita at Morgan State University and author of “African
American Women in the Struggle for the Vote, 1850–1920,” broke new ground by documenting that, contrary to previous reports,
Black women actively participated in the women’s suffrage movement in the United States and by chronicling that, at every stage of
the long-fought struggle for the vote, Black women organized on behalf of the suffrage movement, argued Constitutional doctrine
and staged protests to secure the franchise for all women.
As the world celebrates the first woman and the first woman of color to be elected to the Office of Vice President of the United
States of America, we remember the fearless, pioneering women who paved the way for the history to which we bear witness today.
We are forever grateful for their fight for our freedom more than 100 years ago.

The Academic Degrees
The first known degree was a doctorate conferred by the University of Bologna in the middle of the 12th century. Originally, the
doctor’s and master’s degrees were used interchangeably, each indicating that the holder was qualified to give instruction to
students. The bachelor’s or baccalaureate degree indicated only entrance upon a course of study preparatory to the doctorate or
mastership. Gradually, however, the bachelor’s degree came to mean successful completion of one level of study preparatory to the
higher degrees.
Today, there are more than 1,600 different academic degrees conferred by colleges and universities in the United States. The
advanced degrees granted by Morgan State University are the Master of Arts, Master of Arts in Teaching, Master of Science, Master
of Business Administration, Master of Architecture, Master of Landscape Architecture, Master of City and Regional Planning,
Master of Engineering, Master of Public Health, Master of Social Work, Doctor of Education, Doctor of Engineering, Doctor of
Philosophy, Doctor of Public Health and Doctor of Business Administration.

                                                     THE DOCTORAL DEGREE
The doctoral degree or doctorate represents the most advanced degree conferred at institutions of higher education in the United
States. The Oxford English Dictionary defines a doctor in the academic sense as “one who, in any faculty or branch of learning, has
attained to the highest degree conferred by a university.”
There are two major types of doctoral degrees: earned doctorates and honorary doctorates. Earned doctorates are further divided
into two distinct types: the research degree and the professional or practitioner degree. The distinguishing feature of the research
degree is that it normally requires a lengthy scholarly dissertation, which is usually designed to constitute a substantial contribution
to the existing body of knowledge in its field. The most important doctorate of the research type at institutions of higher education
in the United States is the Doctor of Philosophy. The only other earned doctorate of the research type which has secured wide
recognition and use by a large number of leading United States universities is the Doctor of Education.

                                                      THE MASTER’S DEGREE *
The master’s degree is an academic honor conferred upon students who have successfully completed one or two years’ work beyond
the baccalaureate. A thesis and an oral examination are usually required. The word magister connected with a qualifying phrase was
used among the Romans as the title of honor, but its present meaning must be traced to the time of the establishment of the oldest
universities. Regularly organized faculties were not then known as they now exist in the universities. The whole circle of academic
activity was limited to seven liberal arts. Those who received public honors in the completed studies, and who had already received
the degree of baccalaureus (bachelor), were called magistri artium (masters of the liberal arts).

                                                   THE BACHELOR’S DEGREE **
The bachelor’s degree represents completion of a four-year course of study of collegiate grade and is the oldest academic degree used
at institutions of higher learning in the United States. The degree of Bachelor of Arts was the first conferred in the United States in
1642 on nine young men, comprising the first graduating class of Harvard College. Yale conferred its first Bachelor of Arts in 1702;
Princeton in 1748; William and Mary in 1753; Pennsylvania in 1757; Columbia in 1758; and Morgan State to George W. F.
McMechen in 1895.

** Sometimes designated as the baccalaureate degree, from the Latin baccalaris, “under the influence of,” and lauris, “laurel,”
  used as a designation of honor, distinction or fame.
