Honorary Degree Recipient
Larry Barr
Larry Barr has been very active in the community. He has served as the President of the San
Benito County Business Council for the past
12 years where he has worked for the expansion of Gavilan College into the surrounding
communities. He currently is Chairman of the
Board for the San Benito County Food Bank
which serves food to 3,500 to 5,000 people in
need each month.
Larry has also served as an advisor to the
Monterey Bay Air Pollution Control District,
and is an active Rotarian where he has held
several local and District positions.
Larry founded a legacy project to recognize academic achievement by high
school students. He has organized numerous international service projects
and founded a highly praised dental hygiene project that has delivered over
50,000 toothbrushes to under privileged children in Columbia, the Philippines, Mexico, and Thailand. This ongoing project delivers dental hygiene
education and tooth paste along with the toothbrushes.
Larry also helped lead a group of 10 high school Interactors to Panama,
where they delivered, assembled, and delivered approximately 300 wheelchairs. Larry also took the Interactors to the jungles of Mindanao, where the
launched and completed the construction of a two room high school.
Additionally, Larry was responsible for the renovation of Tagabaca Elementary School and the construction of a new learning center at Magsaysay
Elementary School. Each school has since been fitted with a source of clean
water and flushing toilets. Larry has raised a substantial amount of money for
the purchase of computers and other learning based equipment for each of
the schools.
With a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry, Math and Physics from
University of California at Davis and Chemical Engineering at Stanford,
education is very important to Larry and he lets audiences all over the world
know this every every chance he gets.
“Education is the one thing that once you get it, no one can take it away.”

Rho Alpha Mu Honor Society
Honor society membership has a long history in America, beginning when
tutors and advanced teaching assistants joined forces to share scholarship
discussion, and recognition of merit through an organization designated a Phi
Beta Kappa, which was founded in 1776 at the College of William and Mary.
In 1926 the California Community College Honor Society was formed under
the title Alpha Gamma Sigma. It is affiliated with the National Junior College
Honor Society and the Phi Beta Kappa Organization of four year institutions.
Rho Alpha Mu, the local chapter of Alpha Gamma Sigma, was formed in 1976.
The Greek letters stand for RAM, the Gavilan College mascot. Eligibility for
membership requires at least a 3.0 grade point average. In addition, members
are required to complete ten hours of community service each semester, and
participate in fundraising and other club activities.
To be eligible for life membership in Alpha Gamma Sigma, students must
maintain a 3.25 grade point average in at least 60 units of college work and
have been a member in good standing for at least two continuous semesters.
2015-2016 Rho Alpha Mu of Gavilan College is proud to present Lifetime
Membership in Alpha Gamma Sigma to the following students:

Academic Regalia
The academic regalia worn by students and faculty are part of a tradition
that goes back to the first organized bodies of learning in the 12th Century.
Commemorating the completion of formal education in the United States, the
caps, gowns and hoods have been common apparel for the commencement
ceremony since 1885. The more elaborate the gown and hood, the higher the
degree. The silk lining of the hood bears the color or colors of the institution
from which the bearer graduated.
The hood colors associated with different subjects are as follows:
Apricot - Nursing
Brown - Fine Arts, Architecture
Citron - Social Work
Copper - Economics
Crimson - Journalism
Dark Blue - Philosophy
Drab - Commerce, Accountancy, Business
Golden Yellow - Science
Lemon Yellow - Library
Light Blue - Education
Maize - Agriculture
Orange - Engineering
Pink - Music
Purple - Law
Russet - Forestry
Sage Green - Physical Education
Scarlet - Theology
Silver Gray - Speech
White - Arts, Letters, Humanities
Mortarboards are the approved headgear.
The black tassels are worn on the left side of the caps.
Gold cording is worn by those graduating with honors.
Platinum cording is worn by those receiving the Outstanding Scholar,
Outstanding Vocational/Technical Student and Outstanding Transfer Student
Awards.
