Welcome from the Chancellor

On behalf of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, I welcome you to our Spring 2013 Commencement Ceremony. Commencement is one of our most time-honored and cherished traditions, one we have practiced for 118 years.

The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point held its initial commencement ceremony on June 26, 1895. Dr. Benjamin S. Terry of the University of Chicago spoke on the topic, 'What is An Education?' and seven elementary education graduates received diplomas.

Today we will honor more than 1,345 students, their families and supporters as they celebrate this major achievement. They will hold degrees from a university that now boasts four academic colleges Bernie L. Patterson and more than 100 program choices within 58 majors, 79 minors and 13 graduate programs. We congratulate our students, and all who have made it possible, for their achievements, learning and rigorous work.

Completing a university degree is a major accomplishment, one achieved with significant sacrifices by the students themselves and also by their families, associates and friends. It is my honor to present these students to you so you may share in the great joy of their success on this special day.

I thank our faculty and staff members today as well. Through their dedication and mentorship, they have broadened our students' intellectual horizons, contributed to many happy memories, and most importantly, they have transformed lives.

It is my pleasure to confer these degrees and to honor our Spring 2013 graduates through this most magnificent of UW-Stevens Point traditions.

Sincerely,

~u~ Bernie L. Patterson Chancellor

ROTC also offers valuable scholarships for scholars and leaders. Scholarship recipients receive full tuition and fees, a monthly stipend and other financial benefits throughout the

academic year.

Honor Designations

Undergraduate Honors

The faculty has established a program of academic honors to recognize undergraduate students for outstanding academic achievement.

Academic Regalia History

The origins of the academic dress date back to the 12th and 13th centuries when

universities were beginning to form. It is still open to question as to whether academic

dress finds it sources chiefly in ecclesiastical or civilian dress. It is often suggested that

gowns and hoods were the simplest, most effective method of staying warm in the

unheated, stone buildings that housed medieval scholars.

In the days of King Henry VIII of England, Oxford and Cambridge first began prescribing

a definite academic dress and made it a matter of university control to the extent of its

minor details. The assignment of colors to signify certain faculties was to be a much later

development and one which was to be standardized only in the United States in the late 19th century. An Intercollegiate Commission comprised of representatives of leading

institutions met at Columbia University in 1895 and adopted a code of academic dress,

which besides regulating the cut and style and materials of the gowns, prescribed the colors

which were to represent the different fields of learning.

In 1959, a Committee on Academic Costumes and Ceremonies, appointed by the American

Council on Education, again reviewed the costume code and made several changes. In 1986,

the committee updated the code and added a sentence clarifying the use of the color dark

blue for the Doctor of Philosophy degree.

Academic Regalia The Gown

Pattern. Gowns recommended for use in the colleges and universities of the United States have the following characteristics. The gown for the baccalaureate degree has pointed sleeves and is designed to be worn closed. The gown for the master's degree has an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist. The sleeve base hangs down in the traditional manner. The rear part of its oblong shape is square cut, and the front part has an arc cut away. The gown for the doctor's degree has bell-shaped sleeves.

Material. As a means of adaptation to climate, the material of the gowns may vary from very light to very heavy provided the material, color and pattern follow the prescribed rules.

Color. Black is most common although some universities have adopted a different color.

Trimmings. Gowns for the baccalaureate or master's degrees are untrimmed. For the doctoral degree, the gown is faced down the front with black velvet, and three bars of velvet are used across the sleeves. These facings and crossbars may be of velvet of the color distinctive of the disciplines to which the degree pertains, thus agreeing in color with the binding or edging of the hood appropriate to the particular doctoral degree in every instance.

The Hood

Linings. The hoods are to be lined with the official color or colors of the institution which granted the highest degree held by the wearer; more than one color is shown by division of the field color in a variety of ways such as by chevron or chevrons.

Trimmings. The binding or edging of the hood is to be velvet or velveteen, two inches, three inches and five inches wide for the baccalaureate, master's and doctoral degrees, respectively; the color should be indicative of the subject to which the degree pertains.

Academic Regalia Chancellor's Medallion and the Ceremonial Mace

The Chancellor's Medallion and the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Ceremonial Mace were both handcrafted by Henry M. Runke, former chairman of the UW-Stevens Point Art Department. The medallion was cast in a 14k gold pendant in 1968 and contains a purple amethyst to represent the school colors. The four-sectioned areas beginning near the center symbolize the four colleges of the university and terminate as prongs for the gem. The mace, carried by the grand marshal in academic processions, was completed in 1976 and has a square base on which important dates from the school's history are recorded. The most prominent feature is the head of the mace which is a miniature of the cupola on Old Main, the university's symbol. The inside of the mace also contains a purple amethyst.

International Flags

As a depiction of the university's commitment to fostering global citizenship, the international flags represent the home countries of our international students since 1980, and also the countries in which our students have studied through international programs. The current total of 119 nations includes the following:

Angola Czech Republic Japan Anguilla Denmark Jordan Argentina Dominican Republic Kazakhstan Australia Ecuador Kenya Austria Egypt North Korea Azerbaijan El Salvador South Korea Bahamas Estonia Kuwait Bahrain Ethiopia Laos Bangladesh Fed States of Latvia Belarus Micronesia Libya

Finland Belgium Luxembourg Belize France Malawi Bermuda The Gambia Malaysia Bosnia-Herzegovina Georgia Mali Botswana Germany Mauritania Brazil Ghana Mexico Brunei Great Britain Mongolian Peoples Bulgaria Greece Republic Burma Greenland Morocco Burundi Guatemala Myanmar
