12history of suffolk university 1906–2022
From its roots in an evening law class with a handful of students, Suffolk University
has evolved into a global institution blending traditional and experiential learning with
strong ties to partner organizations and mentors in Boston and beyond.
CREATING OPPORTUNITY
From its earliest incarnation, Suffolk University has opened doors to students determined
to better their lives through education.
Founder Gleason Archer hailed from rural Maine and worked hard to support his law
school aspirations. He was fortunate to meet a benefactor, George Frost, who paid for
Archer’s education and asked only that Archer pass his generosity along to others.
Archer took this advice to heart and in 1906 began teaching law in his home in the
evenings.
The school now known as the College of Arts & Sciences was founded in 1934. Two
years later the predecessor to the Sawyer Business School welcomed its first students.
That same year all three schools were incorporated as Suffolk University. In time the
University expanded from a night-school format to comprise a range of full- and part-
time programs.
COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY
Suffolk has long been a school at the forefront of embracing a diverse student
population, with Black, Asian, Native American, and women students finding a home
here since its earliest days. Celebrating diversity has always been at Suffolk’s core,
making it the rich institution it is today.
COMMITMENT TO PUBLIC SERVICE
A tradition of public service was firmly established in Suffolk University’s earliest days.
Many alumni have been elected to public office at the state, local, and national levels;
some began their terms in office while studying at Suffolk. And Suffolk alumni work
diligently on behalf of their fellow citizens in nonprofits, the judiciary, and policy-
making positions at every level.
suffolk university mission statement
At Suffolk University we are driven by the power of education, inclusion, and
engagement to change lives and positively impact communities. Committed to
excellence, we provide students with experiential and transformational learning
opportunities that begin in the center of Boston, reach across the globe, and lead
to extraordinary outcomes for our graduates.
13the law school today The Law School has more than 24,000 alumni who have achieved extraordinary success in the legal profession and many other fields. Current students hail from more than 30 states and nearly 20 countries, and they come to Suffolk Law with a remarkable diversity of interests, backgrounds, and perspectives. The Law School continues its longstanding tradition of providing students with an outstanding practice-oriented legal education. The Law School’s programs in clinical education, legal writing, dispute resolution, and trial advocacy are all regularly recognized as among the nation’s best. For example, Suffolk Law is the only law school in the country with programs in those areas that have been listed among the top 20% in U.S. News & World Report for seven years in a row. The focus on a practical education continues outside the classroom with over 50 student organizations, 14 competition teams, and five law journals. Students have access to hundreds of externships with private and public employers, and they gain additional experience and serve the public by volunteering their time: the Class of 2022 spent over 46,049 hours providing free legal services during their years at Suffolk Law. The Law School’s core curriculum provides students with a strong legal foundation. Six academic concentrations allow students to focus their studies in particular areas, including business law and financial services, trial and appellate advocacy, health and biomedical law, intellectual property, international law, and legal innovation and technology. The Law School offers dual-degree programs that combine law with business, crime and justice studies, finance, or public administration. Several LLM degree programs offer post-graduate legal education. The Law School also offers an SJD program for law graduates who seek to pursue careers as teachers and scholars, providing them with the opportunity to conduct research and complete a scholarly dissertation. Essential to the quality of a Suffolk Law education is the faculty. Professors here are recognized nationally for their scholarly excellence and professional activities, and they continue Suffolk’s commitment to extraordinary teaching and helping students achieve professional success. 14
academic attire and symbols
The academic attire worn during commencement originated in medieval universities.
The long black gown was worn for warmth and to conceal food—and sometimes
wine—to be consumed during lecture recesses. The hood, which is the most colorful
portion of the attire, was used as an alms sack or to protect the wearer’s wig from
the elements.
The velvet trimming of the doctoral hood signifies the academic area of the degree,
and the hood lining reflects the official color or colors of the college or university
conferring the degree. The gown for the doctor of juridical science is black with purple
velvet trim and three bars of purple velvet across the sleeves; a purple stole is also
worn. The gown for Suffolk Law’s master of laws recipients is black with purple velvet
trim and three bars of velvet across the sleeves. The gown for Suffolk Law’s juris
doctor degree is black with a hood that has a purple lining. Graduates were given a
choice between wearing a mortarboard (squared hat) or tam (six-sided hat) for the
ceremony, and the choice simply represents individual preference.
The colored cords worn by some graduates signify that they have been awarded
graduation honors.
Gold: summa cum laude honors
Silver: magna cum laude honors
Bronze: cum laude honors
Blue, gold, purple: concentration honors
White: pro bono honors
Other colors represent achievement or participation in one or more of the Law
School’s over 50 student organizations and programs.
The marshal leads the procession carrying a mace. The mace originally was a weapon,
and its ceremonial descendant confers an air of authority on those leading formal
processions.
The Suffolk University seal features the University motto Honestas et Diligentia, or
Honesty and Diligence, and the founding date, 1906. The image is composed of a
standard and torch flanked by single stars; Beacon Hill is pictured in the background.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS PROGRAM IS NOT AN OFFICIAL GRADUATION LIST.
While every effort is made to ensure accuracy in this Commencement program,
printing deadlines may result in omission of some names and inclusion of names of
persons not completing graduation requirements as intended. Academic honors listed
in the program are based upon the earned grade point average at the end of the spring
term. Final academic honors are calculated upon degree conferral. This printed
program, therefore, should not be used to determine a student’s academic or degree
status. Degrees and official academic honors will be awarded when all University
requirements have been fulfilled.
