Commencement Speaker

GREG OLSEN

Two-Time Sports Emmy Award-Winning Analyst, FOX Sports

Three-Time Pro Bowler and Former NFL Tight End

Former Miami Hurricanes Football Standout

If Merriam-Webster decided to print a photograph of an American football tight end next to its definition of the offensive position, it would probably use one of former Miami Hurricanes and NFL great Greg Olsen.

Known for his elite route running, exceptional hands, and high football IQ, Olsen played the position with a skill rarely seen in the sport, posting numbers for catches and receiving yards that rank among the best by a tight end in league history.

From an early age, football was ingrained in the life of the Wayne, New Jersey, native, where his father was a high school football coach. By the time Olsen was 5 years old, he was already immersed in the sport, serving as a water boy and spending time in the locker rooms. Football was central to family life, with his father also coaching his two brothers—both quarterbacks who went on to play college football. Olsen often became the one catching passes during practice, an early role that would later define his career as a tight end.

Olsen transferred to the University of Miami during his freshman year at the University of Notre Dame. After a stellar collegiate career at Miami, where he caught 87 passes for 1,215 yards and six touchdowns, Olsen entered the NFL as a first-round draft pick of the Chicago Bears in 2007. Traded to the Carolina Panthers in 2011, he quickly became one of the league’s most productive tight ends, achieving three consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons—an NFL first for a tight end—and helping to lead his team to a National Football Conference championship and Super Bowl 50 appearance.

He retired from the game after a brief stint with the Seattle Seahawks, completing a 14-year NFL career with 8,683 receiving yards—good for seventh-most by a tight end in league history— along with 60 touchdowns and three Pro Bowl nods, cementing his reputation as one of the most consistent tight ends of his generation.

While known for his elite receiving ability, the 6-foot-5 Olsen also excelled when he was not touching the ball, using leverage and positioning to become one of the league’s top pass- and run-blocking tight ends.

Olsen’s greatest impact, however, extends well beyond the field. He was twice named a finalist for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year

Award, an honor presented annually to a player for his commitment to philanthropy and community service. Inspired by the challenges facing his youngest son, T.J., who was born with a severe congenital heart defect, Olsen and his wife, Kara, established The HEARTest Yard program to provide services to pediatric cardiovascular patients and their families. To date, the program has raised more than $11 million to support pediatric cardiac care across the Carolinas, where the couple resides in Charlotte, North Carolina, with sons Tate and T.J., and his twin sister, Talbot.

Family has remained a constant throughout Olsen’s life and career. While the accolades and victories stand out, Olsen has often said it is the memories shared with family—and the support that surrounded him—that mattered most.

Olsen continues to make an impact, both in his charitable work as well as in his ongoing award-winning career as a FOX Sports NFL analyst.

In that latter role, he earned a Sports Emmy Award for outstanding emerging on-air talent in 2022 and for top event analyst in 2023. That same year, Olsen called Super Bowl LVII alongside play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt.

Recalling his time at the U, where he earned a B.A. in criminology with a minor in political science, Olsen has said it was “the best thing that ever happened to me,” describing its highly challenging and competitive environment. It was also where he met his wife. The couple remain actively connected to the University, supporting their alma mater and its athletic program, including a gift to the Carol Soffer Football Indoor Practice Facility.

For a storied career as one of American football’s greatest ever tight ends and for his philanthropic and broadcast industry efforts that have been just as impactful as his on-field achievements, the University of Miami is proud to welcome Greg Olsen as commencement speaker.

The academic mace, an enduring symbol of institutional authority and prestige, is a vestige from prehistoric times. First used as a battle weapon, the mace evolved into a ceremonial staff carried in processions of royalty, magistrates, and church or university officials.

The University of Miami’s current mace, which dates back to 1986, was sculpted by former art professor William Ward. He chose a contemporary design, one that reflects the University’s timelessness and perpetual growth from a young institution to one of national prominence. The clean lines and polished silver surface are elegant; dignified; and reflective of colors, textures, and forms in the ever-changing environment. Ward indicated that timelessness is further represented by the mace’s geometric design. Rather than employing symbols like books, candles, or globes, he noted that these geometric shapes are not tied to fad

or style but are an integral part of our world. “There are obvious relationships to mathematics and the sciences, and as the mace is rotated, some of the planes at the top resemble letters. Its complexity is like the unfolding plot of a good story,” Ward said.

The University of Miami’s mace serves as a symbolic weapon to protect the ideals of truth, justice, and learning. During the commencement ceremony, it is carried at the head of the academic procession by the grand marshal, whose symbolic duty is the protection of the University, its people, and its processes.

In 2019, staff and faculty members in the Department of Theatre Arts performed preservation and restoration work on the mace, crafting a new base and reviving the original sheen so that, after decades of use, the mace continues to play its role in the University’s commencement ceremonies.

Academic Honors and Regalia

The ceremonies of commencement immerse us in the rich tradition of academic honors and dress that reaches back to the early days of the world’s oldest universities.

The University of Miami awards degrees in three basic divisions—the doctorate, master’s, and baccalaureate—which can be traced to medieval times. The student receiving a “first degree in arts” was crowned with a wreath of laurel berries, hence “baccalaureate” and “bachelor.” The master’s degree was a license to teach (Licentia docendi), so the “master” was an appropriate title. The doctor was even better qualified to teach, for this degree required advanced study, independent research, and defense of a dissertation. These standards still apply to the doctorate, except for those conferred honoris causa (as honorary degrees) for meritorious service in public or private endeavor.

Some degrees are awarded with special recognition. For those who have achieved appropriate standards in their work, the words cum laude (with praise), magna cum laude (with high praise), and summa cum laude (with highest praise) are used.

Students who have met formal scholarly demands, including both specified courses and high overall grade averages, may graduate with “General Honors.” These achievements are recorded on diplomas and in official transcripts.

From medieval practice, academic dress has three items: cap, gown, and hood. In reviving the use of these items for the United States, an intercollegiate commission in 1895 drafted a code that most universities, including the University of Miami, follow.

For all degrees, the mortarboard is the traditional cap. The tassel may be gold for a doctor or may indicate the field of study.

The bachelor’s gown is black with long, pointed, open sleeves. The master’s gown is black with a long, closed sleeve hanging below the elbow. The doctor’s gown is black and is distinguished by three bars of velvet on a full sleeve.

The academic hood is the identifying symbol of the degree. Its length indicates which degree it represents: three feet for the baccalaureate, three-and-a-half for the master’s, and four for the doctorate. The lining indicates the college or university that awarded the degree. University of Miami hoods are lined in orange, green, and white. The color of the velvet band represents the academic discipline. The most frequently seen colors are white for arts, yellow for science, pink for music, sapphire blue for philosophy, purple for law, scarlet for divinity, green for medicine, light blue for education, drab for business, orange for engineering, violet for architecture, gray for general studies, and apricot for nursing.

President Joseph J. Echevarria wears a black robe with four black velvet bars. The fourth chevron indicates this is the presidential regalia. The gown features orange and green piping as well as a doctoral hood lined in orange, green, and white— reflecting the official University of Miami school colors.

The Music of the Ceremony

University of Miami Fanfare

Great universities throughout the country begin their halftime performances with a special fanfare consisting of small portions of their school fight songs and alma mater. The fanfare signals the start of halftime festivities, exciting the crowd and encouraging loyal fans to remain in their seats during the band’s performance. Following the Miami Hurricane’s National Championship season in 2001-2002, David Lambert, D.M.A. ’05, wrote a

similar fanfare for the University of Miami. “University of Miami Fanfare” was premiered by the University of Miami Band of the Hour during the 2004 Miami Hurricane home football opener versus Florida State University. It has since been performed as a prelude to all Band of the Hour performances and has become a part of the University of Miami’s commencement to announce the opening of the ceremony.

President’s Processional Fanfare

Commencement ceremonies are rich in history, tradition, and ritual. Over the years, the University of Miami has had a number of talented musicians and composers contribute to that history and tradition.

The “President’s Processional Fanfare—Toward Our New Century” was commissioned by the Phillip and Patricia Frost School of Music and written by Brian Balmages, M.M. ’00, in 2016.
