ALMA MATER

Oh, Foothill we raise our voices in praiseFor all of the joys we’ve known .Your scarlet and black will welcome us back,No matter how far we may roam .By the bay and the blue of Pacific’s shoreLies the campus we’ll love forever more .Oh, college so fair, there’s none can compareWith you, alma mater we love .

Music and lyrics originally composed by Foothill Collegeinstructors Fred Warren and Melvin Applebaum

THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER

O 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;O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave .

Composed by Francis Scott Key

LIFT EV’RY VOICE AND SING

Lift ev’ry voice and sing‘Til earth and heaven ringRing with the harmonies of LibertyLet our rejoicing riseHigh as the list’ning skiesLet it resound loud as the rolling seaSing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught usSing a song full of the hope that the present has brought usFacing the rising sun of our new day begunLet us march on ‘til victory is won

ACADEMIC REGALIAIn the 12th and 13th centuries, when universities were under the jurisdiction of the church, students wore habits, or cloaks with hoods, which were designed to provide warmth in unheated buildings . The more colorful modern academic costume originated at England’s Oxford and Cambridge universities in the 1300s, and has been used continuously in the U .S . since colonial days .

The mortarboard represents no particular degree or school, except that the short, gold tassel is worn only by holders of the doctorate degree . The tassel may be worn on either side of the cap .

The gown itself is usually black for all holders of baccalaureate or higher degrees . Bachelor’s and master’s degrees styles differ little, but doctorate gowns are faced with velvet panels and velvet bars on the sleeves .

Only the hood itself shows by its length and colors the distinction among degrees, academic majors, and colleges or universities that conferred the degrees . The higher the degree, the longer the hood and the wider the velvet facing that outlines the hood . The color of the velvet facing denotes the academic area in which the degree was awarded . The colors of the satin lining in the hood are the colors of the school where the degree

was awarded (e .g ., Stanford University colors are cardinal and white; University of California, Berkeley, colors are blue and gold) .

Field colors that symbolize academic areas of study are as follows:

A LEGACY OF INNOVATION

In 1957, founding Superintendent Dr. Calvin C. Flint surveyed the 122-acre site that would soon be transformed into one of the nation’s preeminent community colleges. He envisioned a campus that would foster innovation and academic excellence. As Foothill celebrates our 61st annual Commencement Ceremony, we renew our commitment to that legacy of innovation.

From our first graduating class of 37 students in 1960, Foothill has grown to serve approximately 13,000 day, evening, and online students each quarter. Foothill is a nationally recognized leader in educational excellence. This recognition is due to the exemplary work of our dedicated faculty and staff and the talents of the extraordinary students who graduate each year.

This year, we also celebrate the fourth cohort of students who will receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Dental Hygiene. Foothill College is one of 15 community colleges offering baccalaureate degrees in the State of California.

Service leadership is Foothill College’s vision for educating students and preparing them to be leaders. Students participate in service leadership projects in and out of the classroom, locally and internationally. Projects take place throughout the year and culminate in the annual Research & Service Leadership Symposium, which takes place each May.

Founded on the principle of educational opportunity for all, Foothill College provides quality education with an equity focus. The physical beauty, architectural integrity and hilltop location of Foothill College symbolize the distinction and innovation that are the essence of the college’s academic programs and services.
