HONORARY DEGREE
MYRON L. ROLLE
Doctor of Public Service, honoris causa
Presented by Trustee Henry D. Mercer, III ’87
Rhodes scholar and former NFL player Myron Rolle was known as a powerful competitor on the field, and he is
widely recognized for his academic achievements off the field. Currently attending medical school, Rolle is also
becoming a well-known force for change in both the worlds of philanthropy and public health.
Rolle, a former safety with the Tennessee Titans and Pittsburgh Steelers, entered the National Football League (NFL)
as a sixth round draft pick after taking a year to study at Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar. Rolle is one of
only three people to have received both a Rhodes scholarship and an NFL contract. He is a member of the Knight
Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics and serves on the Board of Trustees at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia.
Now a second-year medical student at Florida State University College of Medicine, Rolle is the founder of Our
Way to Health, an educational childhood anti-obesity program for Native Americans that began with the Seminole
tribe of Florida and later expanded into Bureau of Indian Education-funded schools in New Mexico and Arizona.
In conjunction with the Florida Department of Children and Family Services, Rolle runs a week-long Wellness
and Leadership Academy for children in foster care. He is also the co-founder of the Emerging Scholars Project—a
program to help under-represented college students become viable candidates for national fellowship opportunities.
As an undergraduate student, Rolle earned Associated Press 3rd team All-American honors as well as Football Writers
Association America 2nd team All-ACC and CoSIDA Academic All-America recognition. He received a Bachelor of
Arts in Exercise Science from Florida State University, a Master of Arts in Public Administration from Florida State
University, and a Master of Science in Medical Anthropology from Oxford University.
Raised in Galloway, New Jersey, Rolle attended high school at the Hun School of Princeton where he graduated with
a 4.0 GPA and was ranked by ESPN as the number one football prospect in the country.
Inspired to dream big and think big, Rolle believes by practicing medicine he will be able to impact and heal people
over the course of his lifetime.
While it was a “difficult decision to move away from football,” Rolle said, and at times he does miss the excitement of
the NFL, he believes that he has a different purpose now. According to Rolle, that purpose is to dedicate himself to
the support of health, wellness, and education for children and families in need.
Rolle, whose goal is to be a neurosurgeon, said playing football gifted him with a platform to become a game changer.
And while his game today is not played out on a field, Rolle said his experience in the world of football helped give
him the order, the structure, and the confidence necessary to inspire lasting change in others.

THE ACADEMIC PROCESSION AND REGALIA
For the benefit of our visitors, the following information, digested from “An Academic Costume Code and Ceremony
Guide” prepared by the American Council on Education, may prove helpful in identifying the costumes you will see in the
Commencement procession.
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, or the color of the velvet may 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 of gold if the holder has
a doctor’s degree.
In the procession, first come the faculty members, then the candidates for degrees arranged in the order in which
degrees are to be conferred, and finally, the speakers, trustees, administrative officers, candidates for honorary degrees,
and other members of the platform party.
