Commencement Notes

PROCESSION

The academic procession is a vestige of medievalism in

modern university life. The somber gowns and colorful hoods

are similar to those worn by scholars and church men as early

as the 12th century. The garb had an element of utility. The

robes were warm; the hoods could be drawn up to protect

against dras in unheated buildings.

Traditionally, the hood’s silk lining was the color of the

university, and the color of the bordering velvet indicated

the special area of study, still used today. White represents

arts, letters and humanities; dark blue, philosophy; light

blue, education; yellow, science; brown, ﬁne arts; mustard,

business; purple, law; dark green, medicine; lilac, dentistry;

olive, pharmacy; pink, music; orange, engineering; citron,

social work; and sea foam, podiatry. The color of the tassels

on the “mortar boards” or caps of the candidates for degrees

corresponds to the velvet borders of the hoods.

Gowns representing the bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral

degrees vary in style. The bachelor’s gown has long pointed

sleeves; the master’s gown, longer, narrow closed sleeves,

which extend below the knees; the doctoral gown, with full

bell-shaped sleeves and three bars of velvet, opens in the front

with wide velvet bands in either black or the color indicating

the area of study.

Stoles and sashes represent a student’s aliation with an

organization or group such as student-athletes, study abroad,

international, Greek organizations, and other student service

or academic organizations.

Cords are worn by students who excel academically and

are reserved for Latin Honors, university honors, and other

honors programs and honor societies.

The tassel on the mortar board is customarily worn on the

right side before the degrees are conferred and shied to the

le at the moment the degrees are awarded.

Leaving the Ceremony

To avoid excessive congestion when leaving the Liacouras

Center, guests in sections 102–104 and 112–114 should use

the 15th Street exit; guests in sections 105–111 should exit

through the Main Lobby onto Broad Street.

To ensure everyone’s safety and reduce overcrowding, please

refrain from taking photos near the Broad Street exit of the

Liacouras Center. Here are alternative locations.

1. Liacouras Walk between Norris Street and Polett Walk;

2. Founder’s Garden between 13th Street and Liacouras Walk;

3. Bell Tower on Polett Walk between 12th and 13th streets; and

4. Park Mall between Cecil B. Moore and Montgomery streets.

Honors and Distinction Symbols

THE CHAIN OF OFFICE AND THE MEDALLION

The chain of oce and the medallion are symbols of the oce

worn by the president on ocial and ceremonial occasions.

The front of the medallion bears a replica of the ocial seal of

the college, which includes the university’s name and date of

incorporation, a Greek temple, and the motto “Perseverantia

Vincit” (Perseverance Conquers). The back of the medallion

bears an image of Temple University founder Russell H.

Conwell, along with the words “Knowledge with Honor” and

“Wisdom Through Diligence.” The chain is imprinted with

symbols representing the university’s original schools and

colleges.

THE MACE

Used only on formal academic occasions, the academic mace

symbolizes the authority invested in the president by the

school’s governing body. The mace is an integral part of

the Commencement exercises when students are invested

in degrees by the lawful authority of the university. It is

carried in procession immediately before the president. The

mace serves as a symbol of the academic quest for truth

and wisdom and represents the unity and aspirations of the

collegial community.

TEMPLE UNIVERSITY HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENTS 5

Honorary Degree Recipient

Quinta Brunson

DOCTOR OF FINE ARTS, HONORIS CAUSA

Named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Inﬂuential People and dubbed “the

new queen of sitcoms” by New York Magazine, Emmy, SAG, and Golden

Globe award-winning actor, producer, writer and creator Quinta Brunson

has quickly made a name for herself as a powerful force and game changer

within the entertainment industry.

Brunson made history as the ﬁrst Black woman to receive three Emmy

nominations and the second Black woman to win an Emmy in the category

of Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series for her Peabody award winning

series “Abbott Elementary,” which she stars in and serves as creator/

showrunner, head writer, and executive producer. The show, inspired by

Brunson’s mother, follows a group of dedicated, passionate teachers brought

together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked

against them, are determined to help their students succeed in life.

Since its launch “Abbott Elementary” has garnered a slew of awards season wins and nominations, with Brunson

personally landing 49 nominations and 21 wins. Some highlights include recently winning her second Emmy (2023)

for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, winning a Golden Globe award (2023) for Best Performance by a

Female Actor in a Television Series, Musical, or Comedy, and landing a 2024 Screen Actors Guild Award nomination

for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series. Brunson won her ﬁrst Film Independent Spirit

Award for Best Lead Performance in a New Scripted Series in 2023, and has been nominated for a PGA Award for

Outstanding Producer of Episodic Television, Comedy. Aside from winning a Peabody award, “Abbott Elementary”

was also an honoree at the 2023 AFI Awards for Outstanding Television Program of the Year (to name a few). “Abbott

Elementary” is currently airing new episodes weekly on ABC and Hulu.

In ﬁlm, Brunson appeared as Oprah Winfrey in the award winning feature “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story”

alongside Daniel Radcli. It won Outstanding Television Movie at the 2023 Primetime Emmy Awards, and Best Movie

Made for Television at the Critics Choice Awards.

Originally from Philadelphia, PA, Brunson started her entertainment journey at The Second City in Chicago and

burst onto the scene in 2014 when the series she created, “The Girl Who’s Never Been on a Nice Date,” went viral.

Brunson’s digital success quickly attracted the attention of BuzzFeed, where she landed an initial job as a video

producer. She went on to sell two web series as a development partner with BuzzFeed Motion Pictures: the scripted

comedy “Broke” (which she wrote, produced, and starred in) for YouTube Red and “Up for Adoption,” which was

produced by Verizon’s go90. Since leaving BuzzFeed in 2018, Brunson’s career as a multi-hyphenate actor and creator

in Hollywood has skyrocketed. She landed a lead role in the CW pilot “The End of the World as We Know It,” she

wrote, produced, and starred in the series “Quinta vs. Everything” for Facebook Watch, and wrote/sold a multi-cam

comedy pilot alongside Larry Wilmore and Jermaine Fowler for CBS with ABC Studios. Brunson has also lent her

voice to a plethora of projects, including Adult Swim’s “Lazor Wulf” (where she is also a sta writer) and Netﬂix’s

“Big Mouth.”

On the sketch comedy front Brunson starred on the ﬁrst season of HBO’s award-winning series “A Black Lady Sketch

Show,” and was nominated for a 2023 Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her episode

of “Saturday Night Live” on NBC. As an author Brunson released her bestselling, debut novel “She Memes Well”

(HMH Books) in June 2021.

6 137TH COMMENCEMENT

Honorary Degree Recipient

Charles L. Blockson

DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERS, HONORIS CAUSA

Charles L. Blockson is remembered as the architect behind one of the most

prestigious collections of African American artifacts in the U.S. Located in

Temple University’s Sullivan Hall, the Charles L. Blockson Afro-American

Collection houses more than 700,000 items relating to global Black

experiences, and its extensive catalog dates from 1581 to the present. The

collection includes everything from ﬁrst-edition works of Phyllis Wheatley

and W.E.B. DuBois to original dras of Tupac Shakur’s lyrics.

Blockson’s passion for collecting can be dated back to when he was a fourth-

grade student growing up in Norristown, Pennsylvania. It was then that a

substitute teacher said that individuals who looked like him have no history.

Blockson went home and told his parents, who made sure that he was

introduced to Negro literature, The Philadelphia Tribune, other local black

newspapers, the Crisis and Negro Digest magazines, as well as the work of

prominent African American men and women. Blockson would go on to

spend a lifetime proving this substitute teacher wrong: The incident sparked in him a lifelong journey to unearth,

collect and preserve the history, culture and contributions of people of African descent. In August 2023, his former

middle school was renamed in his honor: It is now Blockson Middle School.

An All-American high school athlete who excelled in football and track and ﬁeld, Blockson continued his education

at Pennsylvania State University as a student-athlete where he won state and national honors and participated in the

Penn Relays.

Aer college, he served in the U.S. Army and developed a love for travel. While traveling the world, he ventured into

bookstores and was especially fond of the stories in Harlem and Greenwich Village in New York. In 1958, Blockson

married the late Elizabeth Parker and the couple had one daughter, Noelle Parker Blockson.

Blockson’s passion for collecting took him around the globe, inspired him to write books, made him one of the

foremost experts on the Underground Railroad, and put him in the company of leaders such as Paul Robeson,

Marian Anderson, Rosa Parks and others.

In 2016, Blockson donated Harriet Tubman’s signed hymnal and other personal items to the National Museum of

African American History and Culture at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. He said that when he

inherited Harriet Tubman’s 39 personal items from her great-niece Merlie Wilkens—including the shawl that Queen

Victoria presented to Tubman—it was his crowning achievement as a collector.

In addition to the collection at Temple, Charles leaves two other signiﬁcant collections. The Charles L. Blockson

Collection of African-Americana and the African Diaspora at Pennsylvania State University includes books,

magazines, photographs, and manuscripts of the African experience in the United States, Latin America, the

Caribbean, and Africa, dating from 1632 to the present. In 2022, a third location to exhibit pieces of Blockson’s

renowned collection opened in his hometown at Norristown’s historic Centre Theatre.
