Welcome from the Dean

Dear Graduates:

On behalf of the NC State Poole College of Management faculty and staff, congratulations to you on this achievement! I also congratulate your family members and friends who supported and encouraged you along the way.

Our top priority as a college of management is the success of our students. We aim to attract, educate and prepare you, our talented and diverse student body, to make meaningful contributions in your chosen fields.

I look forward to staying connected with you and learning about your next steps as you apply what you’ve learned during your time here at NC State.

I am grateful to be part of a college community that celebrates excellence, innovation, inclusion, ethical decision-making — and works tirelessly to think beyond traditional boundaries and to do the extraordinary. You are an important part of that community and are making it possible for us to continue raising the bar for management education at NC State – thank you!

All of us at the Poole College of Management send our best wishes for a bright future.

Frank Buckless Stephen P. Zelnak Jr. Dean Poole College of Management

Academic Regalia

The bachelor’s degree graduates are wearing a “Wolfpack Red” cap and gown, a tradition that began in 2010.

The master’s and doctoral graduates are wearing the traditional black cap and gown and a colored hood. Of all the components of the academic costume, the hood is most symbolic. The hood’s coloring and size represent the level and subject of degree earned, as well as the institution from which it was awarded. The hood has colors on it in two different places. On one side of the hood there are patches of velvet, and on the other side there are large patches of silk. The silk patches are the colors of the institution that gave the degree. The velvet indicates the area of study.

Faculty typically wear the regalia of the institution from which they earned their highest degree.

The graduates wear a cap or “mortar board” with a tassel. The tassels for the PhD degree are gold, and those for other graduate and professional degrees may correspond to the trimmings on the hoods.

The stoles and cords represent a rich variety of honors and associations in which the graduates have participated during their time at North Carolina State University.

Undergraduate honors are designated by stoles in the following colors:

White * Cum Laude GPA of 3.250 through 3.499Silver ** Magna Cum Laude GPA of 3.500 through 3.749Gold *** Summa Cum Laude GPA of 3.750 and above
