CONGRATUL ATIONS, AND BEST WISHES

Dear Graduates:

I want to personally congratulate each of you and extend congratulations from the faculty, administration, and staff of Washington State University for your academic achievements. Earning a college degree is indeed a life milestone, and you and your family and friends should be immensely proud of your achievement.

As you celebrate during today’s festivities, I hope you will resolve to stay connected to the Cougar family. As you well know by now, once a Coug, always a Coug. You can count on Cougs everywhere to support you throughout your professional and personal journey in the years ahead.

In that spirit, I invite you to become a member of the WSU Alumni Association. Alumni continue to make a tremendous difference in the life of the University, and our Alumni Association organizes more than 650 events a year to keep alumni connected to their alma mater.

Again, congratulations. I am delighted to share the joy of this day with you. I wish you every success in the future.

Go Cougs!

Kirk H. Schulz, President Washington State University

WSU PRESIDENT KIRK SCHULZ Kirk Schulz is nearing the completion of his third year as president of Washington State University. He became the 11th president of WSU and a tenured professor in the Gene and Linda Voiland School of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering on June 13, 2016, after a seven-year tenure as the president of Kansas State University.

President Schulz is leading a major institutional initiative to make WSU one of the nation’s top 25 public research universities by 2030. The Drive to 25 will create a transformative educational experience for students and accelerate development of a preeminent research portfolio.

Maintaining the momentum of the Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine is another of the president’s top priorities. The college welcomed its second class of 60 medical students last August, marking another milestone in the University’s efforts to change the face of health care in Washington.

Jeannette Mageo PROFESSOR OF CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY CHAIR OF THE WSU FACULT Y SENATE

Congratulations from WSU faculty

Speaking for the Washington State University faculty, let me congratulate you on attaining your degree.

We well know how much work and commitment carrying a program of study through to a degree requires.

This commitment has meant not only planning, but also taking life on faith—dreaming and having the courage

to dream. It is a process both dazzling and daunting.

I have long taught a course to WSU undergraduates called The Self and Culture in which we explore our

dreams—here I mean literal dreams, night dreams—although these dreams often concern my students’

metaphorical dreams, their hopes for the future, because this is a 400-level course and many of the students

are about to embark on these futures.

Students often feel they are at a precipice. Indeed, one young woman in this class (we’ll call her Lois),

who was about to graduate, dreamed she was cornered on a high cliff by a purple-and-green dragon and

a witch. She trembled there terrified. Lois thought her dream meant she had to choose: she could confront

the dragon or the witch…or jump.

Yet she realized that these dream images stretched back into her past, to remembered children’s songs and

Halloween costumes—memories shared with beloved others—and thus they also suggested a counterweight

to fear.

There is a people in Melanesia called the Senoi who in the past took counsel from their dreams every morning.

Their children had to climb high trees to gather coconuts and fruits and would often have frightening dreams

of falling. Parents would tell them, “The falling spirits love you; next time go with them and see where they take

you. You may find something to bring back to your tribe.” Their children’s falling dreams became flying dreams.

Heights, after all, invite two things: falling and flying.

Today, as you stand on the high precipice of one of your most important beginnings, you know more and see

more than you did four years ago; your knowledge, awareness, and insights have expanded. It is time to go and

profit from all you’ve accomplished. So fly away and bring something back for your tribe. Our greatest hopes

are with you on this flight because we know the future belongs to you.

We will wait with great anticipation to see the originality, energy, and insight you bring to it.

Jeanette Mageo Professor of Cultural Anthropology Faculty Senate Chair

Stephanie Rink CHAIR ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL

Dear WSU graduates,

I am honored to write to you on this momentous day—one that will live forever in your hearts. It is your time to relish in your accomplishments while looking forward to the next chapter in your lives. For many of you, the thought of leaving behind the rolling hills of the Palouse feels bittersweet, but it is the culmination of everything you have worked so hard to achieve.

There is no greater satisfaction for the WSU administrative professional staff than to witness all your successes and share this moment with you. You have earned your place here today through your hard work, tenacity, and determination. You have spent late nights working on projects; built strong, meaningful friendships; and connected with faculty and staff who have inspired you and whom you have inspired. We are blessed and honored to have been able to cheer you on during your journey.

As you watch Pullman disappear in the rearview mirror, you will reflect on the many treks made across campus. You have cultivated life-long bonds, experienced triumphs and heartbreak, and gained deeper knowledge and insight into the world around you and a wealth of other experiences that have shaped who you are today. Always hold those memories close while you forge ahead and add value to the world. No matter where your path takes you, remember: You will always have a home in Pullman.

Former first lady Michelle Obama once said, “Success isn’t about how much money you make. It’s about the difference you make in people’s lives.” When you leave here today, remember these words and be the sun who brightens someone’s day or the moon that shines the light in their darkest hour—both equally important and impactful.

On behalf of the Administrative Professional Advisory Council, congratulations on all your accomplishments, and Go Cougs!

Stephanie Rink Chair, Administrative Professional Advisory Council

Dan Bernardo PROVOST WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSIT Y

RETIRING PROVOST’S LEGACY For Dan Bernardo, the highway of life runs through Washington State University.

First as a WSU doctoral student, then later as faculty member, director, dean, provost, and interim president, this first-generation college student has embraced all things WSU during his 20-year association with the University.

Now, reflecting on his WSU legacy as he prepares to step down this summer as the University’s provost and executive vice president—its second-in-command executive—Bernardo is grateful for the journey. Above all, he says, he will cherish the special bond shared by members of the WSU community, including students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, and stakeholders.

“I would like people to remember that I was always motivated by a love of this institution,” he says, pausing to choose his words carefully. “This institution is one of the most important things in my life. I’ve served in a lot of different roles, and I hope that the institution is better as a product of that work.”

Bernardo’s life story is similar to those of many of today’s graduates. He grew up on his family’s farm, located on the ocean side of the San Francisco Bay peninsula. His Portuguese-American parents made it clear to the young Bernardo and his brother that they wanted a better future for their two sons. It was a path that mandated a college degree.

Farm life, Bernardo believes, instilled in him two of the traits that indelibly shaped the rest of his life: his work ethic and an appreciation of the land.

After earning an undergraduate degree in agricultural economics at UC Davis in 1980, life served up a fateful twist. While in the process of applying to graduate schools, Bernardo was diagnosed with lymphoma. As a result, most of the colleges he had queried about graduate school lost interest in him. But one—WSU—continued to leave the door open.

“WSU said the assistantship offer stood—it was a standing offer,” he recalls. “They continued to call, checking on me, and I was just drawn here by that care.” Though he didn’t realize it then, it was the beginning of a life-changing chapter in his life.

After enrolling at WSU and completing his doctorate in agricultural economics in 1985, Bernardo joined the faculty at Oklahoma State University (OSU), serving ten years and moving up the academic ranks to professor. Then he was recruited to serve as professor and head of the Department of Agricultural Economics at Kansas State University (KSU), a position he held for the next decade.

The twin experiences were invaluable preparation for his WSU tenure, Bernardo says. “I developed an appreciation of how a land-grant needed to serve agriculture and the state. Agriculture is very important to both of those states.”

10

“I was always motivated

by a love of this institution”


Although he enjoyed his two decades in the Midwest, Bernardo also yearned for something more: WSU and the deep, almost inexplicable connection he felt to the faculty, staff, and students he experienced during his graduate studies in Pullman. That yearning motivated him to apply for the deanship of the College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences (CAHNRS) when the position opened in 2005. Needless to say, he was delighted when hired.

When he considers his eight years as dean, Bernardo points out one of the college’s headlining achievements: the rebuilding of the trust of the state’s agricultural stakeholders in WSU that occurred. The trust netted the University millions of dollars from stakeholders that were invested in ag research, including much of the $253 million CAHNRS raised during the University’s last major fundraising campaign.

The overall productivity of the college grew similarly. “It’s all about the CAHNRS faculty and staff and their commitment,” Bernardo notes. “Administrators don’t end up doing the research. They don’t teach the students. We hired really good people. I am proud of how much progress the college has made in the last 15 years.”

Ask him about his favorite memories as an administrator, and Bernardo’s face lights up when he talks about WSU’s students.

“We have tremendous students,” he says. “Not many of them have grown up with a silver spoon in their mouth. I just love to watch students blossom during their time here. I think that’s what motivates most of our faculty as well.”

The provost also embraces opportunities to introduce prospective students to the University and the family-like connections it creates. “I speak at a lot of activities like Week of Welcome and at recruiting events, and I think when you’re an alumnus of an institution, and you care so much about an institution, it comes across to people. It’s very genuine for me, and it’s effective.”

Bernardo is proud of the WSU programs he has championed as provost to help students succeed in their educational pursuits. He believes the University will need to continue to evolve to meet the changing needs of society and the changing demographics, needs, and interests of students.

While he is not completely retiring (President Schulz has asked him to assume a part-time post focused on special projects), Bernardo looks forward to a reduction in the 60-plus hour weeks he has invested in stewarding the University’s fortunes for the past 15 years.

“WSU has an enormous opportunity over the next 10 to 20 years,” he says, “to really, really elevate its role in higher education. I look forward to watching the University grow.”

All of the long days and seemingly endless nights have culminated in this moment where you can look back and celebrate every step of your journey. Commencement marks one of the most joyous landmarks on your academic path; you should reflect on this moment.

From here, we all begin our own journeys. While you may feel you are being ejected into a world of uncertainty, we are confident that your time here at Washington State University has equipped you to navigate the unique and grand challenges you will encounter in the months and years that lie ahead.

ACADEMIC REGALIA AND SYMBOL S

The academic regalia worn by graduating students—caps, gowns, and hoods—are part of a tradition that reaches back nearly 900 years to a time when universities were first being formed.

A statute from the year 1321 required all doctors, licentiates, and bachelors to wear academic gowns and hoods. These accoutrements denoted the wearer’s special status in a time when education was an extraordinary achievement. They had a practical side, too: gowns and hoods kept scholars warm in unheated medieval buildings.

Today, after receiving a charter, new institutions adopt a distinctive design for their own academic attire— yet these designs also follow a common code. In May 1895, an intercollegiate commission met at Columbia University to establish a uniform code for academic regalia that has been followed by U.S. colleges and universities ever since.

WSU’S UNIQUE GOWNS

A distinctive commencement rental gown for students earning Ph.D., Ed.D., and DNP degrees debuted in spring 2012. The gown is crimson with gunmetal-gray velvet accents and a matching velvet tam. WSU is the only university with a custom rental gown.

The purchased version of the gown is designed with a split hood, two silver WSU shield medallions holding the hood in place, two WSU medallion cufflinks on each sleeve, and other embellishments.

THE ACADEMIC COLOR CODE You can identify the subject area of a college graduate’s degree by the color of the trimmings on doctoral gowns, the edging of master’s and doctoral hoods, and the tassels on the cap.

Agriculture: Maize Forestry: Russet Philosophy: Dark Blue Arts, Letters, Humanities: White Journalism: Crimson Physical Education: Sage Green Commerce, Accountancy, Law: Purple Public Administration,

Business: Drab Library Science: Lemon including Foreign Service: Dentistry: Lilac Medicine: Green Peacock Blue Economics: Copper Music: Pink Public Health: Salmon Pink Education: Light Blue Nursing: Apricot Science: Golden Yellow Engineering: Orange Oratory (Speech): Silver Gray Social Work: Citron Fine Arts including Pharmacy: Olive Green Theology: Scarlet

Architecture: Brown Veterinary Medicine: Gray

THE ACADEMIC COSTUME CODE: CAPS, GOWNS, AND HOODS

The American Council on Education maintains the academic costume code followed by all U.S. higher education institutions.

The approved attire for all graduates is composed of a cap and gown. For master’s and doctoral graduates, a hood is included. The basic article of attire is the gown, usually black in color, and similar in design for all degrees. Doctoral gowns feature distinctive velvet trimmings on the front and three velvet bars on the sleeves; bachelor’s and master’s gowns are untrimmed. Gowns for those graduating with a bachelor’s degree have pointed sleeves, the sleeves on master’s gowns arc away at the front, and doctoral gowns have round, bell-shaped sleeves.

The familiar flat-topped cap—called a mortarboard or Oxford cap—can be worn by graduates regardless of degree. The color is usually the same as the gown; for four-year degrees, gowns and caps are always black. Doctoral caps are covered in velvet.

The hood has become the colorful standard bearer of academic symbolism. By examining the hood, it is possible to identify the degree level, the academic field of study in which the degree was earned, and the school that conferred the degree.

Hood length varies according to degree: doctoral, four feet with panels at the sides; master’s, three and a half feet; and bachelor’s, three feet. However, at WSU and many other universities, bachelor’s degree candidates do not wear hoods. The color of the hood lining indicates the school that conferred the degree—for WSU this is crimson and gray, of course. The hood is trimmed or edged in a border of velvet either two, three, or five inches in width for the respective degrees.

THE WSU MACE

The mace is a traditional symbol of legal and chartered authority; it is an evolution of the ceremonial scepters that have been carried by kings and dignitaries through thousands of years of human history.

The University Mace is carried today by Jeanette Mageo, chair of the Faculty Senate. She is accompanied by an honor guard consisting of Savannah Rogers, president of the Associated Students of WSU (ASWSU), and Amir Gilmore, president of the WSU Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA).

Created in 1985 by WSU alumnus Tim Doebler, the two-foot-long scepter is cast in silver and bronze and weighs nine pounds. It features a globe atop a laurel branch wrapped in a silver ribbon and inscribed “Washington State University.” The globe represents the universality of education and the quest for knowledge. Laurel crowns are symbols of achievement which date back to ancient Greece. Atop the globe sits an anvil, which symbolizes students forging and shaping new knowledge and capabilities.
