THE ACADEMIC PROCESSION AND REGALIAThe commencement ceremony processional begins with faculty marshals designated by the provost leading the faculty, followed by the student marshals who lead the candidates for degrees. The platform party follows and consists of the honorary degree recipient, members of the Board of Trustees, the president, president’s cabinet, vice provost for graduate studies, academic school deans, and the faculty council chair.

The history of academic dress reaches far back into the earliest days of the oldest universities. A statute of 1321 required that all “Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors” of the University of Coimbra wear gowns. In England, in the second half of the fourteenth century, the statutes of certain colleges prescribed the wearing of a long gown. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in Europe, the wearing of a robe often signified a degree candidate’s political or religious affiliation; in the northern universities and those of the British Isles, the robes signified that tuition and boarding fees of the wearer had been paid and also entitled him to special immunities in civil law, as well as providing him warmth at lectures and chapel.

When American colleges and universities desired to adopt some suitable system of academic apparel, a conference held at Columbia University in 1895, made up of representatives from various institutions, drew up a “By-Law, Regulation, or Statute” for the establishment of a suitable code of academic dress for colleges and universities in the United States. This code, with modifications made in 1959 by the Committee on Academic Costumes and Ceremonies of the American Council on Education, is still in force; the costumes and colors, trimmings, and patterns you will see are traditional, and interpret both the degree and field of learning. The bachelor’s gown, designed to be worn closed, has pointed sleeves; the master’s gown, which may be worn open or closed, has an oblong sleeve open at the wrist that hangs down in the traditional manner. The rear part of its oblong shape is square cut, and the front part has the arc cut away. The doctor’s gown has bell-shaped sleeves. It may be worn open or closed.

Black is the recommended color for all academic gowns. Bachelor’s and master’s gowns are untrimmed. Doctor’s gowns are faced with black velvet, with three bars across the sleeves; the color of the velvet may also be that which is distinctive to the degree, agreeing with that of the edging of the hood. In the 1960s, many American land-grant universities adopted the British and the Scottish tradition of using the official school color(s) for the robes of their doctoral recipients—for instance, Yale: sky blue; Harvard: crimson; University of Pennsylvania: scarlet and blue; Columbia: slate gray; Rutgers: deep red and black.

The colors you will see in the hoods of our faculty represent the various fields in which the degrees were taken:

Apricot: Nursing Orange: Engineering Brown: Fine Arts Pink: Music Citron: Social Work Purple: Law Crimson: Journalism Sage Green: Physical Education Dark Blue: Philosophy Salmon Pink: Public Health Golden Yellow: Science Scarlet: Theology Green: Medicine Yellow-Brown: Commerce, Business, Accountancy Lemon-Yellow: Library Science White: Arts, Letters, Humanities Light Blue: Education The hoods, differing in length for the three degrees—bachelor’s, master’s, and doctor’s—are lined with the official colors of the university or college conferring the degree, usually with one color forming a chevron pattern over the other. Hoods are edged and bound with velvet or the color appropriate for the degree. You will see in our procession many hoods edged with dark blue, representing doctor of philosophy.

Mortarboards are the approved headgear. The tassel, worn on the left side of the cap, may be gold if the holder has a doctor’s degree.

Krish Ramakrishnan is currently serving as executive chairman and chief innovation officer at BlueJeans Network. Ramakrishnan co-founded BlueJeans in 2009 and served as its CEO for the first eight years. Under his leadership, BlueJeans pioneered video communications with cutting-edge innovations and customer-focused engagement.

Largely through Ramakrishnan’s leadership, BlueJeans has become the standard for video-based collaboration. Today BlueJeans is used by some of the world’s largest organizations from Wall Street to Main Street.

A serial entrepreneur, Ramakrishnan has been a founder and CEO of several successful startup ventures. Prior to BlueJeans, he was an Entrepreneur-In-Residence (EIR) at Accel Partners, where he explored high-definition video technologies, including the current idea behind BlueJeans. Before that, he was the general manager for the server virtualization business unit at Cisco Systems, and was responsible for architecting Cisco's datacenter and desktop virtualization solutions.

Prior to his work at Cisco, Ramakrishnan was the CEO of Topspin Communications. Under his stewardship, the company re-invented itself as a datacenter virtualization player and executed strategic partnerships with IBM, Dell, HP, and Sun. Topspin technology was used in building some of the 500 most powerful supercomputers in the world. Topspin was acquired by Cisco in 2005 for $250 million.

Before joining Topspin, Ramakrishnan was the vice president and general manager for the content business unit at Cisco Systems. Under his leadership, Cisco developed many industry-leading products for scaling websites. Ramakrishnan joined Cisco in 1995 when they acquired his first startup, Internet Junction. Earlier in his career, Ramakrishnan worked for NET, PeerLogic, Bell Labs, and Perkin-Elmer. He has a Master of Science in computer science from Monmouth University and a Bachelor of Science in physics from Madras University in India.

Ramakrishnan lives in Saratoga, California with his family and two adorable German shepherds. He is an avid hiker and has recently taken up drone flying as a hobby.
