THE ACADEMIC PROCESSIONAL The academic procession dates to the Middle Ages when universities were closely associated with the Medieval Church. Since that time, the academic procession has become a treasured tradition in higher education institutions. During the academic procession, university officers and others related to the university march in formal university events in academic regalia. The pageantry of the academic procession is a featured part of commencement programs and other formal university events. The Academic Procession is generally initiated by the university’s mace bearer. During commencements, the mace bearer is generally followed by the chief faculty marshal. The academic procession brings in to the arena the President, other officials of the university, representatives from the governing board, the guest speaker, college deans other platform guests, administrators, faculty, and graduating students.
