The Academic Procession

The procession begins with the entrance of the candidates for degrees. Led by faculty marshals, the candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Atts, both the Teaching Program and the Liberal Arts

Program, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Liberal Studies, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Technology enter in groups, representing each of the undergraduate colleges. They are followed by the candidates for the highest degrees.

The banners which are carried with the candidates' procession were first used in 1977. They were designed by Bekka Lindstrom, at that time a sophomore majoring in Art. The banners were fashioned by Phillip Elliott.

Students wearing a bronze medallion are those graduating summa cum laude (with highest honors), which represent the top three percent of each college by grade point average; or those graduating

students receiving a Purple and Old Gold Award, given to those students who have excelled in scholarship or who have shown conspicuous achievement in particular areas.

The procession continues with representatives of the faculty.

The President's Party forms the final section of the academic procession . Headed by the commencement marshal, it includes the president; members of the Board of Regents, state of Iowa;

administrative officers; the academic deans; and honored guests.

The commencement marshal carries the University Mace, designed and fashioned for the Centennial Commencement in 1976 by Randall Swanson, at that time a freshman majoring in Industrial Arts. A traditional symbol of authority, the mace is a carved wood rod capped with ends of cast bronze , with the top carrying the seal of the university. The sterling silver chain worn by the president was also created for the Centennial Commencement. It was designed and constructed by Martin Peterson, then a junior majoring in Art, and it memorializes the historical evolution of the university by carrying the seals of the Iowa State Normal School, the Iowa State Teachers College, the State College of Iowa, and the University of Northern Iowa.

T he academic costumes worn trace their origin to the Middle Ages when long-sleeved hooded gowns were necessary for warmth in the unheated stone colleges. Over the centuries, much

diversity occurred, and to bring some order, in the United States in 1894 an intercollegiate system of academic costume was agreed on, now adhered to by American institutions. According to this code, both the styling and colors of the regalia have significance.

The design of the gown indicates the degree. The bachelor's is a simple gown with a full sleeve. The master's gown is much like it except for the long sleeve which hangs loose. The doctoral gown is fuller and more elaborate. It has velvet edging and three velvet stripes on the full sleeve. The color of this velvet may be black or in the color appropriate to the degree. Hoods, which are worn over the gowns, are similar for all degrees, although differing slightly in length. The candidates for the bachelor's degrees usually do not wear the hood. The hood has a velvet edging which indicates the area of the degree, and the inside or lining of the hood is satin in the colors of the college or university granting the degree.

A partial list of the degree colors to be found on the edge of the hood or the trimming on the doctoral gown is as follows:

Apricot - Nursing Blue, dark - Philosophy Blue, light - Education Brown - Fine Arts Citron - Social Science Copper - Economics

Drab - Business Green - Medicine Green Sage - Physical Education Lemon - Library Science Maize - Agriculture Maroon - Family and Consumer Sciences

Orange - Engineering Pink - Music Purple - Law Scarlet - Theology White - Arts and Letters Yellow, Golden - Science

Honorary Degree: Robert Yager

Robert Yager, Ph.D. has had an illustrious career of outstanding achievement and attainment. His

accomplishments span decades, more than half a century, in promoting scientific literacy across all grade levels of American education through the education of teachers as well as teachers of teachers who provide science education. His involvement and influence extends into the international science education community. Dr. Yager has been a truly great leader in science education. He has contributed to the preparation of more than 1,000 K-12 science teachers throughout his years on faculty at

the University of Iowa. He has led a paradigm-shaking reformulation of how we think about teaching and learning in science. In 1950, Yager landed his first job, teaching science, after earning a biology teaching degree at Iowa State Teachers College. Shortly thereafter he was named chair of the science department at the Laboratory School of the University of Iowa, where he continued his education to earn master's and doctoral degrees in plant physiology.

For Robert Yager, science was less a collection of things known than a way of knowing. He pioneered an approach to teaching and learning that placed

the joy and burden for understanding science squarely on the shoulders of the student, guided by a skilled facilitator. Though he has had a 50 plus-years career in the science education department of the University of Iowa, he continues to teach, write and research as an emeritus professor.

Recognizing the increasing necessity for a scientific and technologically literate citizenry in managing an advanced democracy, Yager co-founded the Science­

Technology-Society (STS) approach to teaching science. It became synonymous with, and an early version of, inquiry teaching that pervades nearly every level of science education today. Considered a radical movement in the 1960s, STS is today an embraced philosophy credited with promoting the importance of critical thinking skills for shaping our national science education standards to emphasize community-relevant content such as environmental education and wise consumer science. STS spawned a curricular emphasis on applications of learning, which can be found in virtually every published textbook. A sizable army of his disciples carry on the research, curricular design and teacher preparation that sustains this inquiry revolution. This army includes some 220 doctoral candidates mentored, chairing the committees of 120 of them. It also includes 200 master's recipients, and more than 1,200 teachers of science.

D obert Yager brought more than $10 million in science education reform .l'-funding to our state over the span of 40 years, distinguishing Iowa as a global hub of excellence in science education. His outreach projects have touched nearly every district of the state. Iowa continues to enjoy center-of-the-universe status in science education thanks to his work and his continuing leadership. Over the course of his career, he served as president of seven prestigious national organizations, including the National Association for the Education of Teachers of Science, the National Science Teachers Association and the National Association for Research in Science Teaching. He has directed more than 100 NSF institutes for teachers and workshops for high school students and published more than 600 books, chapters and research reports .

Lux Service Award Since 1984

The University of Northern Iowa Lux Service Award is presented annually to three undergraduate students who best represent the ideal of service to the University community. The honor is conferred in the spirit of keeping the light of service to others burning bright at UNI. The name of tlie award - Lux - is from the University's official seal that features a burning lamp of knowledge and the Latin word for light.

The University of Northern Iowa Alumni Association sponsors the award.

Congratulations to the 2008 Lux Service Award Recipients:

· Samantha J. Keltner is a History major with a special education minor who hails from Ankeny, Iowa. Samantha's activities include serving as a founding member and president of Connecting Alumni to Students (CATS), a member of the Homecoming Committee, president of Gamma Phi Beta, a Northern Iowa Student Government Senator, and as a member of the Summer Orientation staff.

Jon Buse, UNI Dean of Students, writes of her work in his letter of recommendation, "The common thread of her involvement is that they are all intended to serve others and make the University a better place. As a leader of her peers, Sam brings out the best in those around her. If I were to describe Sam in one word, it would be 'magnet' She always seems to attract a crowd. She is a wonderful person and a fine student leader. "

Lipin Loo is a Biotechnology-Honors Research major with a minor in Chemistry from Penang, Malaysia. Lipin has left his mark on UNI through a variety of activities as a student. A top student in his academic department, he is a member of Student Admissions Ambassadors , a premier student volunteer group, promoted cultural understanding through his work with the International Student Association board and has assisted with recruitment activities in his home country.

"Lipin has made many important contributions to our campus and he will continue to proudly represent the University after he leaves," writes Kristi Marchesani, assistant director for Admissions - International Relations.

Kelly Valentin, a Biology major who is also completing the certificate program in Global Health, is from Parkersburg, Iowa. This mother of three (ages 10, 7 and 3) has succeeded in the classroom while being an extremely active volunteer. Kelly's lengthy list of activities includes the UNI Global Health Corps, Health Care Volunteer Services, UNI's Pre-Medical Club, Family & Children's Council of Black Hawk County, and the Misfits Playground. She also coordinated a medical mission to

Honduras. Additionally, Kelly established the UNI Pre-Medical Enrichment Project to increase the community service engagement of UNI pre-med students.

"She has inspired and led many UNI students to community service and served as a teacher of human worth and humanitarian commitment," says Pedro Rodriquez , MSW. "She is sure to continue strong advocacy for health in underserved areas. She is clearly proud of the education that she received from the University of Northern Iowa. "
