Graduation Decorum
Graduation ceremonies are, by their very nature, festive occasions. The festivity
celebrates the joy and satisfaction of accomplishment. The ceremonies are also
marked by seriousness, since the conferring of degrees signifies long, hard work on
the part of everyone involved: students, faculty, administrators, parents, and spouses.
In observance of the serious nature of the ceremony, students and guests are
expected to maintain a measure of decorum appropriate for the occasion. Students
are expected to return to their seats after receiving their diploma and to remain
seated for the rest of the ceremony. Family and guests are asked to remain seated
for the entire ceremony, refraining from leaving their seats in order to take pictures
or to talk to graduates. Please be respectful.

Neil L. Pruitt, Jr.
Chairman and CEO, PruittHealth, Inc.
Trustee, University System of Georgia Board of Regents
Since 2002, Regent Neil L. Pruitt, Jr. has served as the Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of PruittHealth, Inc., an integrated
healthcare company offering independent and assisted living,

As a past board chair of both the American Health Care Association and the Georgia Health

by his February 2013 Congressional appointment to the Commission for Long-Term Care.
He currently serves as national multi-facility vice chair for the North Carolina Health Care
Facilities Association and as a board member for the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, the
University System of Georgia Foundation and the PruittCares Foundation.
Regent Pruitt graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of the
South and was awarded both a Masters of Business Administration and a Masters of Health
Administration from Georgia State University. Regent Pruitt and his wife, Mebane, have
three children.
University Mace
Armstrong State University’s ceremonial mace traditionally leads the commencement
procession, serving as an important symbol of the institution’s history and legacy. One of the
oldest symbols of authority, the mace serves as a treasured “Symbol of Office” and is vested
with the power of the university.
Two leading Savannah artists, bronze sculptor Susie Chisholm and wood sculptor Dicky Stone,
created a mace that symbolizes the university’s longstanding ties to the city. Crafted from
bronze and wood, the design serves as an elegant tribute. A bronze magnolia flower cradles
a bronze medallion adorned with a stately architectural image of the Armstrong House, the
university’s original location at Bull and Gaston Streets in downtown Savannah. The inscription
reads “Established 1935, Savannah, Georgia.” The mace’s staff has been handcrafted from the
wood of a cherry tree grown on the university’s current campus.
Academic Regalia
The academic regalia worn by faculty and administration at today’s commencement ceremony
traces its origin to that worn by faculty and students at medieval European universities. Modern
academic regalia consists of three parts: the gown or robe, a headpiece, and a hood.
The gown’s traditional color is black. For the bachelor’s degree, the gown has full, flowing
sleeves. The distinguishing feature of the master’s gown is the tippet sleeve. The doctoral gown
is the most elaborate, with a much fuller cut and velvet panels on the sleeves, around the neck,
and down the front. These panels may be black or the color that symbolizes the subject field in
which the degree was earned.
The familiar square mortarboard is the cap worn with a tassel, which may be any one of three
different colors—black, metallic gold, or the color representative of the major field of learning
in which the degree was earned.
While the gown and headpiece denote the wearer’s level of education, the hood shows the
greatest degree of symbolism. Those with advanced or professional degrees wear hoods
symbolic of the degree. The hood is edged in velvet, which denotes by its color the field or
discipline in which the wearer’s degree was earned. It is lined in two colors of silk representing
the college or university from which the degree was granted. It is worn falling from the
shoulders down the back of the gown in a display of vivid color.

Alma Mater
Alma Mater through the ages,
Singing thy undying fame,
Will thy sons and daughters cherish
And defend thy golden name?
To each heart thy noble story
And thy calm and stately grace
Herald thine immortal glory.
Armstrong, hail, all hail to thee!
Alma Mater, those before us
Left thine honor great and strong;
We who follow take their banner,
Raise it with a fighting song!
Consecrated is thy teaching,
Sacred is thy marble height,
Glorious thy spirit reaching
Ever upward to the light.
Words by Margaret Spencer Lubs and
Doris Falk, Class of 1939
