Before coming to Emory, Professor Satz lectured at Yale University in the philosophy department and the ethics, politics, and economics program as well as at Monash University Medical School. She also clerked for the Honorable Jane R. Roth of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Professor Satz has teaching and research interests in health, disability, tort, and animal law as well as law and philosophy. She is the author of more than a half-dozen publications at the intersection of law and philosophy. ACADEMIC NOTES The caps and gowns of the academic procession date back to the Middle Ages, when they were common dress for scholars. Monks and students wore them to keep warm in the damp and drafty 12th-century castles and halls of learning. The bachelor's gown has a pleated front and long, pointed sleeves. The master's gown, which may be worn open, is distinguished by its long, square sleeves, closed at the end and slit near the elbow to permit the forearms to come through. The doctor's gown, which also may be worn open, is trimmed with velvet panels down the front, with three velvet bars on its bell-shaped sleeves. During the processional, candidates for the bachelor's degree wear the tassels of their mortarboard on their right. Upon receiving the diplomas, they move the tassels to the left. Candidates for all other degrees wear the tassels on the left. UNIVERSITY MISSION STATEMENT Nova Southeastern University is a dynamic, not-for-profit, independent institution dedicated to providing high-quality educational programs of distinction from preschool through the professional and doctoral levels, as well as service to the community.
