History 

Founded in 1958 as Brevard Engineering College by Dr. Jerome P. Keuper, Florida Tech initially offered continuing 

education opportunities to scientists, engineers and technicians working at what is now NASA’s John F. Kennedy 

Space Center. The new college grew quickly, paralleling the rapid development of America’s space program. The 

college, dubbed by the media as the “night school for missile men,” gained international attention, including a visit 

from legendary rocket scientist Wernher von Braun. 

In 1966, the college changed its name to Florida Institute of Technology to acknowledge its growing identity as a 

scientific and technological university, the only such independent institution in the Southeast. 

From the beginning, Florida Tech has been committed to excellence in graduate education. A 1962 article in The 

New York Times described Brevard Engineering College as “the only space engineering college in the country … 

its graduate course offers engineers the opportunity to obtain a master’s degree and keep up with the advancement 

taking place daily at the Cape.” 

At the time of the article, all of the college’s graduate students worked on America’s race to space during the day and 

attended classes at night. Today, as the university has evolved, nearly 60 percent of on-campus graduate students 

attend and do research full time. 

The university moved to its current Melbourne campus in 1961, and construction began immediately on 

administration and classroom buildings to augment existing buildings on the site. Before the decade’s end, the 

university would break ground on its first million-dollar building, the Crawford Building. 

During the 1990s the university added new facilities valued at nearly $50 million with construction of the F.W. Olin 

engineering, life science and physical science buildings and the Charles and Ruth Clemente Center for Sports and 

Recreation. Recently, the university has supervised $75 million in new projects. New buildings include the Emil 

Buehler Center for Aviation Training and Research, Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts, Scott Center for Autism 

Treatment, Harris Center for Science and Engineering, Panther Dining Hall, Panther Aquatic Center, Florida Tech 

Commons, Varsity Training Center and a parking structure. 

More than 53,000 degrees have been conferred on students at Florida Tech since 1958, when 154 students signed up 

for the first fall semester. As the institution advances and the alumni ranks multiply, the university remains dedicated 

to developing concerned scientists, aviators, engineers and business leaders who will change the world. 

Florida’s Flags 

On stage are flags that have flown over Florida skies. They represent the Spanish monarchy (16th century), the 

French monarchy (16th century), the United Kingdom (18th century), and the current State of Florida. These and 

the other flags constitute Florida Tech’s way of expressing and symbolizing 400 years of Florida’s history from the 

era of the European voyages of discovery to the present including over 200 years since the birth of our nation.

Academic heraldry in the form of academic dress reaches as far back as the earliest days of the oldest universities. 

Formal directives concerning the correct and proper wearing of academic regalia date back to the early 14th century. 

In the United States, as a result of our English heritage, caps and gowns have been used since colonial times. 

As heraldic devices such as shields, coats of arms, standards, etc., could identify a knight and his individual 

heritage, academic costume can describe the academic origin and accomplishments of the wearer. Easily 

recognizable are holders of bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees. With the same glance, the trained eye may 

identify the university that conferred the degree, as well as the individual’s field of learning. 

The shape and decorations of the gown are the keys to the highest degree earned by an individual. The 

undergraduate’s gown has long pointed sleeves and is worn closed. The master’s gown has an oblong sleeve, open at 

the wrist; the rear part of its oblong shape is square cut and the front part has an arc cut away. The master’s gown 

may be worn open or closed. The doctoral gown has bell-shaped sleeves, may be worn open or closed, and may be 

most readily identified by its velvet facing down the front and by three velvet bars on each sleeve. 

There is no general rule for the position of the tassel on a mortarboard. During commencement exercises at Florida 

Institute of Technology, candidates for degrees are requested to wear the tassels on the right side before degrees 

are conferred and then to shift them to the left. The tassels worn by graduates at Florida Tech reflect the level of 

degree awarded, as follows: 

Black ............................................................ Undergraduate Degree level 

Yellow .......................................................... Master’s Degree level 

Gold ............................................................. Doctorate level 

It is the hood, however, that is the most important and distinctive feature of American academic pageantry. It enables 

anyone attending an academic function to distinguish at a glance the wearer’s academic heritage. The bachelor’s 

hood, seldom seen in American academic circles, is three feet long, with a two-inch edging of velvet. The master’s 

hood is three feet long, with a three-inch edging. The doctoral hood is four feet long, with a five-inch edging. 

The color of the hood’s velvet edging represents the field in which the wearer earned his degree. Although black 

may be used for any area, specific colors denoting the various field of learning are assigned. There are more than 

two-dozen hood colors accepted at colleges and universities in the United States, some of which may be worn 

today by faculty and administrators who have graduated from other universities here or abroad. However, Florida 

Tech degree candidates wear one of the following four colors: 

Gold ............................................................. Science and Engineering 

Drab............................................................. Business 

Light Blue .................................................... Education 

Royal Blue .................................................... Psychology 

The hoods of American colleges and universities are lined with silk in the official academic colors of the 

institution that conferred the degrees. Florida Tech graduates, for example, will wear hood linings that are crimson 

(red) with a gray chevron (stripe). 

Undergraduates graduating with honor may wear cords designating the honor. 

White ........................................................... cum laude 

Silver ............................................................ magna cum laude 

Gold ............................................................. summa cum laude 

Academic Regalia 

The academic regalia you see before you today can be traced directly to the beginnings of the oldest colleges 

and universities. In 1885, there occurred a widespread student movement in America to wear caps and gowns at 

commencement ceremonies. The graduating students seemed to feel a need for significant and dignified apparel 

for the occasion. By 1895, widespread adoption of a uniform code by 95 percent of colleges and universities in this 

country gave America its own distinct academic regalia. 

However, at any academic gathering, costumes usually appear that cannot be fathomed by these guidelines. Some 

of these may be from foreign universities; others from those American institutions that have preferred to remain 

with the European tradition of allowing each school to determine its own costume. The net result is the academic 

costume you see before you today.

Dear Florida Tech Graduate, 

Office of Alumni Affairs 

May 2013 

Congratulations on earning your degree! The 60,000+ alumni of the Florida Institute of Technology family and our 

board of directors are pleased to welcome you into the select group of individuals who have graduated from Florida 

Tech. Further, we welcome you into the Florida Tech Alumni Association. 

Upon graduation, you are automatically a member of the alumni association and have access to many benefits and 

services. We have arranged for low-cost, short-term health insurance. The volunteers in the Alumni Career Network 

stand ready to assist in your job search and to answer your most pressing questions about your chosen career. Our 

online community provides instant access to our complete alumni directory, job opportunities, permanent email 

forwarding and more. The Florida Tech U.S. Bank Visa card is available at a low introductory rate to all graduates. Its 

use benefits the association by earning royalties for scholarships and other programs. The Florida Tech alumni page 

on Facebook provides you with an additional online resource for keeping in touch with other alumni and lets you 

know about upcoming events such as homecoming, and other vital information. 

We hope you will join us in supporting the association and your alma mater. As graduates, we are strongly committed 

to continuing the development of Florida Tech as a world-class university. Our priorities include recruiting qualified 

students to enroll in Florida Tech, addressing the issues that are important to encourage student retention, raising 

funds for scholarships and endowments, and improving the career network of graduates in order to help them 

meet their career objectives. We also support the university’s efforts in the development of new distance-learning 

opportunities. 

The Florida Tech Alumni Association is dedicated to expanding your feeling of “ownership” of the campus as 

an alumnus/na and enhancing the pride we all share in this university. In the past, the association successfully 

spearheaded the effort to renovate the Chao Tsu-Yu Clock and to bring the “Prowling Panther” mascot statue to 

campus. It has become the focus of new traditions. Look for the association to actively participate in the renovation 

of the Gleason Performing Arts Center in the near future, too. The association supports the alumni operating 

endowment, planned giving program and the alumni grant for incoming students, among other endeavors. 

You have only one requirement to participate in the many benefits and programs of the alumni association—keep 

the Office of Alumni Affairs informed of your current mail and email addresses, so we can keep in touch with you. 

We hope you will consider taking an active role as a member of the alumni community by contributing your time and 

efforts as a board member, attending local alumni chapter events and supporting the alumni fundraising efforts. 

We sincerely hope you will take advantage of the benefits available to you and that you will support our efforts to 

promote your alma mater. 

Again, on behalf of the Florida Tech Alumni Association, I say congratulations to you, the members of the Class of 

2013. Best wishes for great success in all your future endeavors! 

Sincerely, 

Alexis S. Loo, ’75, President 


Alumni Association 

This list of candidates for graduation was prepared before final grades were reported and inclusion herein does not constitute evidence of graduation. 

While every effort is made for clearance prior to the printing deadline, final action to ensure an accurate listing of the names of all persons qualified 

for degrees cannot always be taken before the program goes to print. Therefore, errors are possible, and the listing of a name in this program should not 

be constituted as an indication that the person will in fact receive a degree from Florida Institute of Technology at this commencement. Conversely, 

the absence of a student’s name from this list does not necessarily mean that the person will not be awarded a degree.

the star-sPangled Banner 

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn’s early light 

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming 

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight 

O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming 

And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air 

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there 

Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave 

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave 

Francis Scott Key (1779–1843) 

florida tech all hail! 

(alma mater) 

Nestled deep within the garden 

’Neath the skies of blue 

Stands our noble alma mater 

Wonderful to view 

CHORUS 

Lift the chorus, lift it skyward 

Sound it to the shore 

Florida Tech, our alma mater 

To the clouds we soar 

We your loyal sons and daughters 

Homelands near and far 

Clasp our hands in love of learning 

Reaching for the stars 

CHORUS 

Sign of hope and inspiration 

Lead to never fail 

Ever is our alma mater 

Florida Tech all hail!
