Dear Graduate,

Congratulations on behalf of the Sam Houston State University faculty, staff, and administration. You are now alumni, and we are delighted you will represent your University in your careers of choice and in your communities. No doubt you have had many opportunities here, and I am looking forward to seeing how you will use what you learned and experienced to meet the challenges and opportunities of the future.

Sam Houston State University is privileged to serve a diverse student population, including military-affiliated students, first-generation students, and non-traditional students. Sam Houston is committed to promoting a campus that embraces diversity and inclusion. Each student brings a different story and perspective, which enrich us all.

Our University motto is emblazoned on a wall in The Yard (formerly Bearkat Plaza), but more importantly, it is visible in how you, the Bearkats we are recognizing today, live your lives. Our motto, “The measure of a Life is its Service,” provides a meaningful standard by which we can evaluate ourselves as people of purpose who provide value to others. You put the motto in action when you volunteered your time and energy on and off campus, in support of organizations and causes you value.

Today we celebrate you. We celebrate your accomplishments and triumphs. You have demonstrated your ability to overcome challenges and accomplish your goals. You will always have opportunities to add value by engaging in your communities, and I am confident you will do so in ways that will make the world a better place and bring pride to your alma mater.

Many important people supported you on your educational journey. Your family members, friends, mentors, faculty, and staff are applauding for you as you reach this milestone, and I celebrate your achievements with them.

Once a Bearkat, always a Bearkat. And today the entire Bearkat family—tu familia—celebrates your achievement. ¡Felicidades!

Sincerely,

Dr. Alisa White

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT


First Grade teacher, Wanda Smith is a shining example and inspiration to her students and fellow teachers, as well as her community. Her passion for teaching is

reflected in how much she wholeheartedly gives to her students.

With twelve years of experience in her field, Wanda has been able to connect with both her students and parents to form a bond of kinship. Her students are taught that in their classroom everyone is family and that family looks out for one another in all ways. This kinship is also reflected by the way she treats both parents and students with the utmost courtesy, respect, and gratefulness to have been given an opportunity to teach their children.

Mrs. Smith is a simple individual who is not a fan of being in the limelight but will come forth when needed or asked. She loves to make others laugh and enjoys sharing encouraging words with anyone she feels might need a pick me up.

Wanda’s honors include being featured in the 2015 Lifestyles section of the local newspaper, The Banner Press, along side her husband Darron, 2019 Teacher of Year (Brenham Elementary), 2021 Teacher Appreciation Week segment with Jenna Bush and Hoda Kotb, presented with a proclamation by Brenham’s local Mayor Milton Y. Tate, Jr. recognizing May 4th as “Be the Best You Can Be” Wanda Smith Day, featured in the Montgomery County News, and a story in Woman’s World magazine September 6th issue.

When not in the classroom or helping others, Wanda enjoys dancing, spending time and traveling with her husband of 29 years, Darron, their three children and her grandchildren, whom she affectionately calls Mimi’s Crew.

WANDA SMITH

COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER


The academic costume worn at official functions today originated in the Middle Ages, when a warm gown and hood were useful to university scholars and clerics in unheated buildings. Through the years, the growth in the number of universities caused confusion about the proper regalia so a Code on Academic Costume was established. Today, The American Council on Education reviews and updates these traditions.

The four-sided mortarboard is recommended for both men and women. The cap is always black and should match the material of the robe.

Gowns are generally black. The bachelor’s gown is simple, with long pointed sleeves. The master’s gown will have either long sleeves with narrow wrist opening or long sleeves with the hand emerging from the sleeve at elbow length. The doctor’s gown is fullest in cut with velvet panels down the front and around the neck, as well as three velvet bars on the bell-shaped sleeves.

Length of the hood represents degree level: the master’s hood is three and one-half feet long and the doctor’s hood is four feet long. The velvet trim on the edge of the hood is three inches wide for the master’s degree and five inches wide for the doctor’s degree. The color indicates the field of study. A color or pattern between the trim indicates the university awarding the degree.

The University Mace is symbolic of the authority of the Board of Regents, The Texas State University System, and the Office of the President of Sam Houston State University. The senior tenured faculty member carries it during academic convocations. It was first used at summer commencement on August 20, 1988.

The mace was designed and hand crafted by the late Charles R. Jedlicka, Associate Professor of Industrial Technology. The crown is a circular casting bearing the name of the University and date of establishment,

1879. The circle features the lone star, the state emblem, in the center. Names of past University presidents with their dates of service are engraved on the brass collar below the crown.

The walnut staff is bound in brass and has a hexagonal head with inlays of pecan for the state tree, recessed brass medallions cast with designs for General Sam Houston, Austin Hall, Old Main, Bearkats, and the completion date of the mace. The holder base or stall is six-sided to match the mace head.

ACADEMIC REGALIA

UNIVERSITY MACE


To reflect their achievement, graduates who have earned undergraduate academic excellence receive a gold cord at graduation plus an appropriate notation on their academic transcript. The gold cord indicates one of the following academic achievements: Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, Cum Laude, With Academic Distinction, Alpha Chi, and Honors Program.

Degrees conferred Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, and Summa Cum Laude reflect an outstanding grade point average with a minimum of 32 semester hours earned in residence (resident classroom instruction). The distinction and corresponding grade point averages are: Cum Laude 3.50 - 3.66; Magna Cum Laude 3.67 - 3.85; Summa Cum Laude 3.86 - 4.00.

The Department Academic Distinction Program is an individualized learning experience that provides qualified students with a comprehensive introduction to meaningful research under the guidance of a designated faculty advisor.

Alpha Chi, a national honor society organized to recognize and promote scholastic excellence, is open to all university seniors who accepted membership and have achieved a 3.6 or higher

grade point average on all college-level course work.

Participation in the Honors College is based on a competitive selection process and provides outstanding academic opportunities and distinct undergraduate college experiences. Upon successful completion of the requirements of the Honors College—24 semester hours of Honors courses and two special seminars—the student’s academic transcript will indicate graduation “With Honors” and the student may wear an Honors medallion with academic regalia. To be designated as having graduated “With Highest Honors,” the student must also successfully complete a special senior project involving original research and/or an effort of creative expression.

NOTE: Semester credit hours earned in correspondence courses are not considered “resident classroom instruction” hours and are not used in determining the minimum semester credit hour requirement for academic honors: Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, Summa Cum Laude, Dean’s List, and President’s Honor Roll. However, the semester credit hours and grade points earned for correspondence courses are included in the calculation of the overall grade point average.

BACCALAUREATE GRADUATION WITH SPECIAL RECOGNITION

Sam Houston State University is proud to recognize graduating Veterans and military members with a specially designed veterans stole. The orange stole features camouflage tips bearing the SH logo on the right and the American flag with Veteran designation

on the left. On behalf of the entire Sam Houston State University community, President Alisa White and the SHSU Administrative Officers extend their deepest gratitude and congratulations to these distinguished graduates.

Commencement is a ceremonious occasion honoring important educational accomplishments. Decorum and courtesy are important to you and your family, as well as your fellow degree candidates and their families. Students and guests are expected to maintain a measure of decorum consonant with the occasion.

Only the official photographer is allowed on the floor by the stage.

Candidates will cross the stage as listed in the program.

The scale represents the spirit of the Latin proverb, Jus est ars boni et aequi, Justice the art of the good and fair. The oak bough with 16 leaves symbolizes strength, while the olive branch with 20 leaves represents peace. The number of leaves recalls the year, 1620, when the pilgrims signed the Mayflower Compact, the first American political document, whose purpose was to preserve order by means of the principle of rule of law.

The simple shape represents a water droplet or the flicker of a flame. When duplicated, the droplet becomes a lotus flower bud symbolizing long life and purity, while growth is demonstrated by the progression from small to large. The final mark demonstrates the connection of organic and inorganic, moving beyond natural, suggesting science, digital and data. These are all direct representations of our mission.

The quill connotes the importance of creative endeavors while the ruler along the rooftops illustrates a concern with the scientific method. The arched lines represent communication and its wide-reaching effects, hovering over the home, which emphasizes the importance of human bonds and of the family’s formative role for the individual. Overlooking all of the other symbols are four face profiles representing the celebration of the diversity that strengthens each of the disciplines within the college.
