The colorful ceremonies of Rochester Institute of Technology’s Commencement derive from practices originating in the Middle Ages. The academic dress and the processional reflect the costume and influences when the first universities were organized in Bologna, Paris, and Oxford, and the first convocations of faculty, clergy, and students were held. Old prints and engravings reveal an astonishing similarity between academic costume worn at the early universities and the gowns, hoods, and caps worn today. Civilian dress, as well as clerical garb, has affected the development of academic costume, and in recent years colleges and universities have instituted a code governing collegiate dress in order to ensure a reasonable conformity.
Gowns and caps, or “mortarboards,” are worn by those being awarded or holding the associate and bachelor’s degrees; gowns, caps, and hoods are worn by those hold ing master’s and doctoral degrees. The usual color is black, and the fashion of the gown designates the degree held by the wearer: the associate and bachelor’s have long, pointed sleeves; the master’s has an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist; and the doctoral has bell-shaped sleeves. There are no trimmings for the bachelor’s or master’s gowns; the doctoral has a facing of black velvet down the front and three bars of the same material across the sleeves. The tassel on the doctoral cap is gold, while the colors for associate, bachelor’s and master’s degrees are black and orange.
Hoods are faced with velvet in the color of the degree to be awarded: white for arts and letters, orange for engineering, brown for fine arts, yellow for science, tan for business, and light blue for education. The color lining the hood is that of the institution granting the degree; in the case of RIT, it is black and orange. Custom arily, bachelor’s degree candidates do not wear a hood at the academic ceremonies; the holders of master’s and doctoral degrees wear hoods, and that of the doctoral is longer. Various colored hoods denote student honor societies.
The dress of the university students who are candidates for the associate and bachelor’s degrees is relatively similar. Candidates for the master’s degree wear hoods with the distinguishing colors of the academic discipline pursued as trimming. The faculty dress reflects the variety of degrees held and the diversity of educational institutions from which they have received their degrees.
Mace Bearer Statement 2021The maces used in the ceremonies are being carried by the following members of RIT’s faculty: College of Art and Design—Ken White, retired associate professor, School of Photographic Arts and Sciences; Saunders College of Business—Robert Barbato, Ph.D., professor, department of management; Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences—Edward Holden, associate professor, School of Information; Tom Reichlmayr, associate professor and undergraduate program director, department of software engineering; Kate Gleason College of Engineering—Lynn Fuller, Ph.D., professor emeritus, department of in electrical and microelectronic engineering; College of Engineering Technology—Josh Goldowitz, professor, department of civil engineering technology, environmental management and safety; College of Health Sciences and Technology—Richard L.

Respected internationally as a world leader in career-oriented and professional education, Rochester Institute of Technology has been setting an innovative pace since 1829, when a Revolutionary War veteran and the city’s namesake, Col. Nathaniel Rochester, became the first president of the Rochester Athenaeum. Founded as a reading society, the Athenaeum charged members a five-dollar annual fee to hear lectures by some of America’s best-known orators, including Oliver Wendell Holmes, Horace Greeley, and Ralph Waldo Emerson.
In September 1885, a group of Rochester businessmen founded Mechanics Institute to establish “free evening schools in the city for instruction in drawing and such other branches of studies as are most important for industrial pursuits of great advantage to our people.” Henry Lomb was Mechanics Institute’s first president.
Mechanics Institute merged in 1891 with Rochester Athenaeum to form the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute (RAMI). Comprehensive instruction in mechanical subjects was RAMI’s hallmark. The institute’s builders responded to both industrial and societal trends in Rochester, and each year the institute graduated increasing numbers of expertly trained professionals who found work in industry, both in Rochester and around the world.
In 1944, in recognition of the increasingly specialized professional nature of its programs, the university adopted the name it holds today: Rochester Institute of Technology.
During each RIT presidency, the university moved to another plane of achievement. Carleton B. Gibson, who took office in 1910, implemented a system that became central to the education of every future student—the cooperative education program, begun in 1912.
When Gibson retired in 1916, America was on the brink of involvement in World War I. His successor, James F. Barker, guided the university during the war years, when its classrooms were filled with military trainees in intensive six-week practical programs. Barker retired when the war ended, leaving Royal B. Farnum to run a school that devoted a large part of its efforts to the rehabilitation of veterans. The first alumni association was formed during Farnum’s presidency, a health service was begun for students, and a faculty council was established.
John A. Randall took the reins of the university in 1922. He helped form a balanced vision for RIT as the source of a technical education every bit equal to the classical education available from a traditional university, offering a blend of practical and liberal arts instruction.
In 1936, a young economics professor, Dr. Mark Ellingson, was named to what would become the longest presidency in RIT’s history—33 years. During Ellingson’s presidency, enrollment at RIT skyrocketed. He brought the Empire School of Printing to RIT from Ithaca. The downtown campus became larger.
During World War II, RIT lost numerous students to military service, but at war’s end many returned, and the university’s form of education became more popular than ever. The School for American Craftsmen was added, and the university began offering the associate degree. In 1953, RIT received permission to award the bachelor of science degree and, in 1966, the university was approved as the home campus of a new, federally established college, the National Technical Institute for the Deaf. The Ellingson years also saw other changes, such as the establishment of the College of Business (now Saunders College of Business) and the Graphic Arts Research Center.
When the New York State Department of Public Works decided it would build the Inner Loop through the downtown RIT campus, the decision was made to build a new campus in the suburbs. The year RIT moved to its 1,300-acre campus in Henrietta (1968), Ellingson announced his retirement. During his tenure, the assets of the university had grown from $2.3 million to more than $40 million.
In 1969, sociologist Dr. Paul A. Miller became RIT’s sixth president. Miller, formerly an assistant secretary of education at the federal level, supervised RIT’s maturation. Enrollment increased from 10,000 students to more than 15,000, and programs multiplied extensively. The Nathaniel Rochester Society was founded, and a major fundraising campaign was launched.
RIT’s 150th year, 1979, saw major campus celebrations and the first year of Dr. M. Richard Rose’s presidency. Dramatic growth and the development of RIT’s worldwide reputation as a provider of high-quality education occurred over the next 12 years. Programs in microelectronic engineering, telecommunications, computer engineering, and biotechnology, among others, became examples of RIT’s response to industry needs. In 1991, the first students at RIT—and in the nation—in the field of imaging science began their studies. Many campus buildings, including the Hale-Andrews Student Life Center, were completed during Rose’s term.
RIT welcomed its eighth president, Dr. Albert J. Simone, in 1992. Under his leadership, RIT grew dramatically. The physical campus underwent a transformation through numerous renovation projects and the addition of several buildings, including the B. Thomas Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences and the Gordon Field House and Activities Center. Enrollment continued to grow and new academic programs, including four doctoral degree programs and programs in Croatia and Kosovo, were added. One of Dr. Simone’s greatest accomplishments was the successful completion of the Campaign for RIT, which raised $309 million in gifts and commitments.
In September 2007, Dr. William W. Destler became RIT’s ninth president. With his emphasis on creativity and innovation, RIT began hosting Imagine RIT: Creativity and Innovation Festival. Each spring, this campus-wide event showcases the innovative and creative spirit of RIT students, faculty, and staff. More than 35,000 visitors experience the breadth and depth of RIT through interactive presentations, hands-on demonstrations, exhibitions, and research projects set up throughout campus.
Dr. David C. Munson, Jr., became RIT’s tenth president in 2017. Dr. Munson, the former Robert J. Vlasic Dean of the University of Michigan’s College of Engineering, brings 38 years of experience in higher education as a professor, researcher, and dean.
Today, RIT enrolls approximately 19,000 full- and part-time students in its nine colleges, the School of Individualized Study, and the Golisano Institute for Sustainability. RIT offers international programs at its global campuses in China, Croatia, Dubai, and Kosovo. Its cooperative education program is recognized as one of the nation’s oldest and largest, offering students the opportunity to gain valuable experience and earn funds to support their education. The university has achieved international recognition for its quality career and professional programs, and it has over 140,000 alumni around the world.
