FROM THE PRESIDENT

Congratulations to everyone gathered here today!

Congratulations to the students who have worked so hard for so long to achieve this goal. Behind your accomplishments is a story of courage, hard work, and commitment. Many of you have faced challenges that you thought would be insurmountable, yet here you are. You have had experiences here that have changed the way you look at the world and the way you look at yourself. This may have happened during study abroad or an alternative spring break project; or as a result of an internship, research project, or work-study experience; or because you participated in clubs, student government, music, theatre, dance, or athletics; or because of a mentoring relationship with someone on our faculty or staff. Your studies at Winona State University have opened up new ideas, new possibilities, new understandings, and even new worlds.

Congratulations to the family members and friends who have

supported today's graduates. Thank you for being here to support your graduate on this special day and for entrusting your graduate to Winona State University. Your encouragement has made a tremendous difference in the lives of our students and in our campus community. The celebration of our graduates is a celebration of you, too. And congratulations to those in the Winona State University community who have also given their all to help today's graduates achieve and succeed. Today is certainly a celebration of our students, but it is also a celebration of the dedication of Winona State's faculty and staff. Without you, none of this would be possible! Thank you for everything you do to make Winona State University such a distinctive place.

Our graduates know that Winona State University has a simple mission statement that sums up our essence: "a community oflearners improving our world:' Graduates, I hope that your time here was filled with pride in this community and with learning that enriched you in many ways. I also hope that you have only begun to improve our world.

Today marks the beginning of a new phase in your relationship with Winona State University. You have been a tremendous part of the life of Winona State, and we trust that we have been a tremendous part of your life as well. As your life progresses, our relationship with you will continue. This will be your home forever.

You became a Warrior the day you arrived on campus, and you will remain a Warrior forever.

Scott Robert Olson President

ACADEMIC COSTUME AND PROCESSION

The traditions of academic apparel and procession

date back to as early as the 12th century when the first

"modern" universities at Bologna and Paris were centers

of European learning. The usual garb of the time was

a long gown - a necessity for warmth in unheated

buildings of that era. Scholars, generally members

of church orders, wore such robes as well as hoods to

protect their shaved heads. Later, the hood became a cape

that could be pulled over the head in unpleasant weather.

Today there are three basic types of gowns and hoods.

The bachelor's gown has pointed sleeves and is designed

to be worn closed at the front. The master's gown is

designed with an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist, with

an arc cutaway at the front of the sleeve.

It

may be worn

either open or closed. The doctoral gown is full with

voluminous bell sleeves, and it also may be worn open or

closed.

The hoods worn by those who hold a master's degree are

lined with the official colors of the institution awarding

the degree. Graduates ofWSU receive a hood lined

with purple and white. WSU faculty and administration

members wear hoods that show the colors of the

institution where their degrees were obtained. The

binding or edging of the hood is silk or velvet and the

color indicates the subject area or discipline as listed

below.

Caps retain the traditional black color but the various

tassel colors each have meaning. Blue tassels indicate an

associate of arts degree, gold a bachelor of science degree,

white a bachelor of arts and black tassels indicate master's

and specialist degrees. Doctoral tassels are usually

metallic gold.

Customs of the commencement processional vary a great

deal. At Winona State University, the first to enter the

auditorium at the start of the ceremony is the Marshal

carrying the WSU Mace, followed by the stage party

consisting of the president, guest speakers, deans of the

colleges of WSU and other honored guests.

The degree candidates-the graduates-are next into the

auditorium. The students process into the ceremony

grouped by college. Each college of graduates is led in

procession by a banner carrier who is academically one

of the highest ranking juniors and who carries the banner

for the particular college. The main WSU banner is also

carried by a top tier junior and precedes the master's

degrees and where appropriate, sixth year and specialist

degrees.

Following the graduates in the processional are the

faculty and administration. They enter the auditorium in

the order of their seniority at WSU.

A number of the graduates wear cords to signify

exceptional academic achievement or service. The

description of the cords and their significance are listed

on page 10.

COLORS OF THE MASTER'S AND DOCTORAL HOODS INDICATE THE FOLLOWING DISCIPLINES:

Dark blue - Philosophy

Light blue - Education

Apricot - Nursing

Drab gray - Business

Copper - Economics

White - Humanities/ Arts

Cream - Social Science

Silver gray - Speech

Brown - Fine Arts

Sage - Physical Education

Pink- Music

Crimson - Journalism

Thank You to the WSU Foundation!

Golden yellow - Science

Purple - Law

Citron - Social Work

Green - Medicine

The purple robes worn by the Commencement Ambassadors and Banner Carriers at today's

ceremony were funded through a one-time Special Projects grant from the WSU Foundation,

which exists to foster and support the advancement of Winona State University and its students.

STUDENT SPEAKER

Bethany Stavran

When Bethany Stavran enrolled at Winona State University, she did so with goals that reached far beyond simply earning a degree.

"I didn't want to be 'just another face in the crowd' going to school-I wanted to make a difference."

Stavran, a native of Rice Lake, Wis., set about taking advantage of as many social and leadership opportunities as she could. She took on leadership roles in the National Residence Hall Honorary and Residence Housing Association. She joined Lambda Pi Eta and coordinated the BlackSheep Slam Poetry event for three straight years. She served as a Freshmen Admissions Counselor, a Housing Tour Guide and performed twice in The Vagina Monologues.

Stavran took on so much that it began impacting her academic career. After a particularly challenging semester, her Introduction to Sociology professor, Craig Upright, pulled her aside and asked what was happening.

"Rather than punishing me (for not doing my homework), Professor Upright simply invited me to have a conversation, and helped me to see that maybe there was a reason I was passionately dedicating so much time to my campus involvements-that maybe that said something about how I should align my educational goals," Stavran explained. "I ended up changing my major towards those interests the next semester, and it changed my whole trajectory!"

"I'll always be grateful to Professor Upright," Stavran continued, "for understanding that students are more than what the grades say we are and for his mentorship."

This experience also led Stavran to another important revelation during her time at Winona State: Do not be afraid to ask for help. Stavran spent a lot of time thinking she had to face life's challenges on her own before realizing all the resources available on campus.

"Professors, librarians, counselors, friends ... The network and community here really is special, and the people will amaze you," she said.

Now graduating with a degree in Organizational Communications and a double minor in Professional Selling and Film Studies, Stavran is sad to leave her "diamond in the bluffs" but excited for all that awaits her at her next stop in Seattle, Wash.

"(At WSU) I feel like I make a difference every single day, on my campus, in my leadership opportunities, in my community. That inspiration and confidence started here."

THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDALLION

Each Winona State president has proudly worn the Presidential Medallion since it was created in 1967. It is more than the insignia

of the office. It is a symbol of a people's faith in education, in the responsibility of the office and in the guardianship of the university by the State of Minnesota.

Floretta Murray, professor emerita of the Winona State College Art Department, designed the Winona State Presidential Medallion. The 1967-68 students proudly gifted this outstanding work of art to the college. The symbolism of the medallion lies within the framework of the letters of "Winona State University;' which encircle and bind together the inner symbols. At the center of the medallion is an equilateral triangle symbolic of science, literature and the arts. Through their unity man will survive. Within the triangle is a circle, depicting the endless movement of education, which represents the world and man, incomplete without knowledge.

At the apex of the triangle, aquamarine is symbolic of the Mississippi River and the 10,000 lakes of Minnesota. Topaz on the lower left represents the golden grain of this great state. At the lower right, garnet honors the pioneer citizens of Winona. In 1858 they asked the Legislature to establish an institution for higher education in Winona and, in addition, gave land from the city to provide a place for the university. The segments outside the triangle are the diamond-set stars, which shine for L'Etoile du Nord, the Star of North, or the State of Minnesota. The trees to the left denote the great forests, while the flowing lines at the triangle's base symbolize our streams and rivers. The fire of the opal in the link to the chain stands for zeal, supportive of education as a social necessity. The purple alexandrite in the chain symbolizes the school color and the pride that our students and faculty have for the university. These gems were gifts of the citizens of Winona and Winona State faculty members as a mark of their esteem for the university and its memorable past.

THE UNIVERSITY MACE

A mace is a staff borne as a symbol of authority. The person carrying the University Mace, known as the Marshal, is the President of the Winona State University Faculty Association. The University Mace has a circular medallion placed atop a metallic sphere. Inscribed on the sphere are the words "Founded 1858;' the date Winona Normal School, which later became Winona State University, was established. The sphere and medallion are attached atop a long staff. The medallion in the Mace is derived from the Presidential Medallion. The powerful symbolism of the University Mace makes it a distinctive and valuable part of Commencement.

WINONA STATE UNIVERSITY

A community of learners improving our world

The origins of Winona State University can be traced to the earliest days of the State of Minnesota. Although still a part of the nation's western frontier in 1858, settlers were rapidly populating the newly formed state. The Minnesota Legislature determined schools would be required for the state's children, and teachers would be needed to educate those students. Lawmakers passed an act calling for the establishment of a state normal school to prepare teachers. When the citizens of Winona learned of the opportunity to be the home for the first state normal school, they raised $7,000 in money and land nearly overnight. Because of the community's overwhelming support, Winona was quickly selected as the site for the first teacher training institution west of the Mississippi River. The Winona State Normal School held its first classes in 1860. As the school opened its doors, it began sending newly trained teachers out into the state to help meet the educational needs of its citizenry. Throughout its history, the school's mission and goals have evolved to reflect the times and needs of the region and nation. Classes for students in Rochester were first offered in 1917. In 1921, the normal school became Winona State Teachers College, authorized to grant bachelor's degrees. Another name change, to Winona State College in 1957, reflected an expanded mission with the addition of bachelor of arts, master of science, and associate in arts degrees. In 1975, the institution earned full university status.

Winona State has grown into a vibrant university structured in five colleges: Business, Education, Liberal Arts, Nursing and Health Sciences, and Science and Engineering.

Enrollment, including the Winona and Rochester campuses and the adult education and outreach programs, totals close to 8,500. Undergraduate degrees are granted in more than

100 areas of study, while 28 graduate programs are offered, including the Doctor of Nursing Practice.

A comprehensive university that prepares students to be skilled, responsible, and active citizens, Winona State is recognized nationally as a leader in higher education. The university's innovative programs encourage active learning opportunities and respect for diverse ideas. Its incorporation of contemporary technology into the learning environment offers students many advantages in today's rapidly changing world.

As the university has evolved, the campus has grown. In 2014, WSU welcomed the Cal Fremling, a 49-passenger floating interpretive center and classroom dedicated to creating a greater understanding of the Mississippi River. Last spring, the university accepted the donation of the Laird Norton Building, a 30,000-square-foot facility that will support the exhibition of campus and community art. On the horizon, Winona State's Education Village aims to change the future of education. The proposed modern learning environment will prepare new graduates as they enter the ever-changing education system. The Education Village will build on the university's history as a world leader in education and renew national and international recognition for teacher education at Winona State University.

Winona State is as committed today to providing a future filled with opportunity as it was when it was founded more than 150 years ago. With a clear vision of quality education, the university continues to fulfill its contract to improve the lives of the people of Minnesota, the nation, and the world.
