Dear Graduates, I join with your family and friends

in applauding you, our Spring 2012 graduates.

Today is a marker in your life. I encourage you to stop and savor your achievement and enjoy the celebration and joy that surround you, for your accomplishment says more than you may know.

Your Central diploma is an outward sign of your commitment and hard work. It says to the world, “I can make the appropriate sacrifices. I can learn. I can meet the challenge. I can succeed.” Your graduation is a clear manifestation of your own empowerment. You did it, and we are truly proud of you.

Be encouraged by what you have accomplished.

Now imagine what you are capable of doing.

We believe your Central education has given you more than certain skill

sets. We believe that you leave here with sharpened abilities to think and act cre-atively, critically and ethically. You can become the engaged citizens and leaders in whatever community you choose, whatever field you pursue.

More importantly, we hope your Central experience has instilled in you a passion for learning, a habit that will be part of you throughout your life. We hope that you leave knowing how to perceive problems and find solutions, and to meet a changing world with a culture of learning that will enrich your life.

With your graduation, you have changed your future and that of others who will be influenced by you. This is our hope for you.

Know, too, that you are always wel-come here, either to further your learn-ing or as a loyal alumnus. You are a member of the UCO community regardless of where your life takes you.

Finally, don't pass up this opportunity to thank those in your life whose encour-agement and love helped you in countless ways to reach this plateau. Tell them today how much they mean to you.

You can make a difference; you can be the change you wish to see in the world around you.

We believe in you.

The University of Central Oklahoma was first known as the Territorial Normal School, created by the Oklahoma Territorial legislature in December 1890 to educate teachers for the one-room school houses being built across the growing territory.

For more than 120 years, developing leaders for Oklahoma and the nation has been Central’s bedrock mission.

From a territorial school of 23 stu-dents to more than 17,000 today, UCO has gone through many stages of develop-ment with more than 110,000 graduates. Now Oklahoma’s third largest state uni-versity, UCO has six colleges, including the Jackson College of Graduate Studies.

Central’s first students met in Edmond’s First Methodist Church. In 1892, construction began on the school’s first building, Old North Tower, still standing today. Over the next century, more buildings would be added, moved, torn down or rebuilt. Grass would give

way to parking lots for the huge commut-er population of the ‘70s and ‘80s. Now, grass grows over what used to be parking lots as the university has evolved into a beautifully landscaped campus, meeting the needs of those seeking a traditional campus atmosphere, while still serving the needs of the non-traditional student.

Today, Central has moved into the role of being Oklahoma’s major metropol-

itan university with nationally recognized programs.

During the 2011-12 academic year, Central was recognized in U.S. News & World Report’s 2012 Best Colleges — No. 81 in the Tier One “Regional Universities: West” category. Forbes named Central to the magazine’s list of the nation’s 650 best undergraduate institutions. In addition, The Chronicle of Higher Education listed Central as one of the top producers of U.S. Fulbright Scholars. Professors Wei Chen, Ph.D., a 2008 U.S. Professor of the Year, and David Hartmann, Ph.D., both have spent the last year working abroad on Fulbright scholarships. Meanwhile, Assistant Professor of Photography Mark Zimmerman recently was named a 2012 DaVinci Institute Fellow, while English Professor Gladys Lewis, Ph.D., received the 2012 Oklahoma Medal for Excellence in Teaching. All bring recognition to Central’s quality faculty.

Central’s mission remains one of helping students become productive, cre-ative, ethical and engaged citizens and leaders. In a world of increasing change, Central works to immerse students in a culture of learning to prepare them for the challenges they will face in the years to come, transforming their lives both today and tomorrow.

THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA

THE MACE

Among ancient orders, the mace

was a heavy staff or club made of wood

and metal that was borne by, carried

before or placed near a magistrate or

other dignitary as an ensign of authori-

ty. In 1975, students and faculty in

Central’s then Industrial Arts program

constructed the university’s mace. It is

approximately 34 inches in length and

weighs 9.65 pounds.

Near its top is a miniature replica

of Old North Tower, created in pecan

wood and encompassed within a bronze

crown. Thirteen pieces of solid walnut

wood make up the majority of the

mace. The base on which the bronze

medallion sits is rosewood. A bronze

band encircling the mace is inscribed

“University of Central Oklahoma.”

THE MEDALLION

In keeping with tradition, UCO

President Don Betz will be wearing a

medallion that was created in 2011

with both past and future university

presidents in mind.

The chain features at its center a

3.5-inch antiqued bronze medallion

showing the official UCO seal. On the

flip side are the names of Central’s first

15 presidents, from Richard Thatcher,

who served from1891-1893, through

W. Max Chambers, 1949-1960.

Curved metal banners help form

the chain on each side of the medallion.

Each banner bears the name of one of

the next five Central presidents, includ-

ing President Betz who began his ser-

vice in August 2011 as Central’s 20th

president. The medallion is designed

with blank metal banners, evenly

spaced among smaller official UCO seal

medallions. These blank banners are for

the names of all future presidents, sym-

bolizing the chain of university leader-

ship.

The precise origins of the several

parts of academic dress still remain a

matter of conjecture. The unheated

buildings which medieval scholars fre-

quented may have necessitated the wear-

ing of gowns for comfort’s sake. The

gowns and the hoods were common at

British universities before the 14th cen-

tury; the square cap is thought to be a

16th century import from the University

of Paris. European universities continue

to use a wide variety in the cut and color

of gowns and the type of head wear

worn.

Academic attire began to appear

on United States campuses in the late

1890s. Since that time, its use has

become universal for solemn university

functions, and its pattern is highly uni-

form. From the color and cut of the

American academic attire, one may

determine the institution from which

the wearer received the degree and the

degree earned.

THE CAP

The mortarboard has become the

universally accepted style in United

States colleges and universities. The

standard tassel worn by faculty is black.

However those with doctoral degrees

may wear a gold tassel. Candidates for

degrees have colored tassels that identi-

fy the student’s college as follows:Business Administration ............... DrabEducation & Professional Studies .............................Light BlueFine Arts & Design ...Chocolate BrownLiberal Arts ........................Kelly GreenMathematics & Science ....................... Golden YellowGraduate .................... Bronze and BlueAssociate .......................................Gray

THE GOWN

The bachelor’s gown has a long,

pleated front with shirring across the

shoulders and back. The flowing sleeves

are pointed at the fingertip and are

almost knee length.

The master’s gown has oblong

sleeves that reach well below the knees.

The sleeves are cut so that the forearm

comes through a slit just above the

elbow.

The doctor’s gown has broad, vel-

vet panels down the front, and three

velvet bars on full, round sleeves. This

velvet trimming may be either black or

a color distinctive of the degree.

The associate's gown is the same

style as a bachelor's, but dark gray.

THE HOOD

The Master’s Hooding Ceremony

focuses on advanced degree candidates

and their accomplishments, while adding

visual meaning. The colors of the hood’s

silk lining represent university colors,

which for Central are Bronze and Blue.

The color of the hood’s velvet border

represents the field of learning, such as

light blue for Education or golden yellow

for Science.

THE COLORS

The fields of learning identified by

the color of the velvet panels and sleeve

bars on the gown or the edging of the

hood include the following:Arts and Letters .......................... WhiteBusiness........................................ DrabEducation .............................Light BlueEngineering ...............................OrangeFine Arts ....................................BrownLaw ............................................

star-spangled banner

uco alma mater

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 rocket’s 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 waveO’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
