Dear Graduates:

Warmest congratulations and good wishes to the Class of 2016, and to their families and friends on Commencement Day 2016! Although one door is closing, innumerable others are opening before you, just waiting for you to step through them. Never before in our nation’s history have college graduates had more opportunities to contribute to the common good than now. Whether it be in the community, private industry, or public service, to name but a few, your UC education and experiences have provided you with the knowledge and abilities to make a difference in the lives of many others. As Robert F. Kennedy once noted, “The future will be shaped in the arena of human activity, by those willing to commit their minds and their bodies to the task.” On this triumphal day, I challenge you to commit your newly earned UCLA degree and all that you have learned to bring hope, compassion, and healing to a troubled world. You can shape the future and, from what I know of our graduates, if you put your mind to doing just that, the future will be a bright and hopeful one.

Go Bruins—we know you’ll make us proud whatever door you choose!

Janet NapolitanoPresidentUniversity of California

Dear Graduates,

I am honored to be with you today, on this joyous occasion, and to offer my heartfelt congratulations on your graduation from the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health.

You came to the Fielding School with dedication and a profound sense of purpose: to acquire the skills and experience that would enable you to develop and implement solutions that will make our world healthier. You achieved that goal, laying the groundwork for a career which can change thousands of lives and more.

We have made tremendous progress in public health, resulting in longer and healthier lives in the U.S. and countries around the world, but our work is far from complete. The challenges we face as a global community are formidable. Yet when I see your resolve, your talent, and your passion, I am filled with optimism about our future.

You have learned from leading experts and practitioners, from the populations you intend to serve, and from each other. In the process, you have inspired us with your unwavering commitment, and we know this is just the beginning of your incredible journey. I look forward to learning about your professional achievements in the years to come and the remarkable impact I know you will have.

And I do hope you will remain in touch with our school; you are all treasured members of our community.

Carpe diem!

i Appreciation

mmencement 2016

The wearing of caps and gowns for commencement ceremonies and convocations, which traces its origins

to the universities of medieval Europe, has been an integral feature of American pageantry since the end of the 19th century.

Beginning in the colonial times, the faculties of some American universities wore caps and gowns in keeping with their European heritage and custom. But a century was to pass before the attire became generally standardized.

In 1885, there developed in this country a widespread student movement to wear caps and gowns at commencement ceremonies as a sign of belonging to the academy. Ten years later, a group of American universities convened a conference at Columbia University to agree on a common code of academic dress. It followed in 1902 that the Regents of the University of the State of New York gave a charter to an organization named the Intercollegiate Bureau of Academic Costume to serve as a source of information and guidance in such matters. A Committee on Academic Costumes and Ceremonies, appointed by the American Council on Education in 1959, reviewed the costume code and made several changes. These standards continue to guide the nation’s colleges and universities.

At commencements, all persons participating in the ceremony, either as a dais party member, faculty member or student, must wear academic attire. The gown is commonly black, but it may

be designed with special variations, such as velvet borders on the body and crossbars on the sleeve to show the level of the wearer’s degree. Candidates of masters and doctoral degrees wear the hood, which resembles its ancestor the medieval cowl. At UCLA, candidates for bachelors’ degrees do not wear hoods. Its velvet border indicates by its color the general field of the degree. Its silk lining, seen at the back, represents the colors of the school that has awarded the degree. The tassel color is indicative of the field of the degree. Candidates for bachelors’ degrees wear the tassel on the right side. During the commencement ceremony, they will shift their tassel to the left. Candidates for higher degrees do not shift their tassels; they wear them on the left side from the outset.

The fourragère, made of braided cord and worn around the arm at the shoulder, indicates the wearer has been singled out for special decoration. It originated with the military, but has been adapted for academic use by many universities. At UCLA, the gold fourragère, signifying academic distinction, is awarded to the top fifteen percent of bachelor’s candidates who graduate each quarter. It is worn on the left shoulder and is purely a commencement-day honor. The blue and gold fourragère designates the Chancellor’s Service Award and is given in recognition of community service. It is worn on the right shoulder and is also purely a commencement day honor. n

We as health professionals, do hereby commit ourselves to advocacy and action to promote the health rights of all human beings.

The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being. It is not a

privilege reserved for those with power, money or social standing.

Health is more than the absence of disease, but includes prevention of illness, development of individual potential, a positive sense of physical, mental and social well-being.

Health care should be based on dialogue and collaboration among citizens, professionals, communities and policymakers.

Health services should emphasize equity, accessibility, community participation, prevention and sustainability.

Health begins with healthy development of the child and a positive family environment. Health must be sustained by the

active role of men and women in health and development. The role of women and their rights must be recognized, respected and promoted.

Health care for the elderly should preserve dignity, respect and concern for quality of life and not merely extend life.

Health requires a sustainable environment with balanced human population growth and preservation of cultural diversity.

Health depends on more than access to health care. It depends on healthy living conditions and the availability to all people of basic essentials:

food, safe water, housing, education, productive employment, protection from pollution and prevention of social alienation.

Health depends on protection from exploitation and discrimination on account of race, religion, political belief, ethnic group, national origin,

gender, sexual preference or economic or social status. Health requires peaceful and equitable development and collaboration of people.
