Winter 20 11 Commencement
Welcome from the Chancellor
On behalf of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, I welcome you to our Winter 2011 Commencement Ceremony. Commencement is one of our most time-honored and cherished traditions, one we have practiced for 116 years. The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point held its initial commencement ceremony on June 26, 1895.
"Families, townspeople, faculty and students gathered at 10 a.m. in the Assembly Hall for this historic occasion. Dr. Benjamin S. Terry of the University of Chicago presented the address and spoke on the topic ,'What is An Education?' Seven members of the class received diplomas in elementary education."1
Today we will honor more than 590 students, their families Bernie L. Patterson and supporters as they celebrate this major achievement from a university that now includes four academic colleges and more than 100 program choices within 63 majors, 81 minors and 16 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 not achieved without 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 that 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 and contributed to many happy memories, but most importantly, they have changed lives.
It is my pleasure to confer these degrees and to honor our Winter 2011 graduates through this most magnificent of UW-Stevens Point traditions.
Sincerely,
Bernie L. Patterson Chan cellor

Graduates in ROTC to be Commissioned as Officers
Greg S. Hagen
Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps at UW-Stevens Point is a two-, three- or four-year program that ultimately leads to a Commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army. Students enroll in ROTC's elective leadership and military courses in addition to their required courses. The program teaches leadership skills to be successful in a college, military and civilian career. Participants are also eligible to earn a minor in military science. 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.
There are three levels of undergraduate academic honors, which are awarded on the basis of grade point average for all courses attempted. Those students graduating Cum Laude
have achieved an overall grade point average of 3.5 to 3.74; those graduating Magna Cum
Laude have earned an overall grade point average of 3.75 to 3.89; and those achieving an overall grade point average of 3.9 or above have earned the Summa Cum Laude designation.
Phi Kappa Phi
Phi Kappa Phi is a national honor society that encourages superior scholarship in all academic disciplines and recognizes those persons of good character who have excelled in scholarship. The names of those students who have earned this distinction are noted in the commencement program.

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 which 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
that 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. It 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 that 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 OW-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 school'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 112 nations includes the following:
Angola Denmark Japan Anguilla Dominican Republic Jordan Argentina Ecuador Kenya Australia Egypt North Korea Austria El Salvador South Korea Bahamas Estonia Kuwait Bangladesh Ethiopia Laos Belarus Fed States of Latvia Belgium Micronesia Libya Belize Finland Luxembourg Bermuda France Malawi Bosnia-Herzegovina The Gambia Malaysia Brazil Republic of Georgia Mali Brunei Germany Mauritania Bulgaria Ghana Mexico Burma Great Britain Mongolian Peoples Burundi Greece Republic Cameroon Greenland Morocco Canada Guatemala Myanmar Chile Haiti Namibia China Peoples Hong Kong Nepal
