S aturday , D ecember 19 th • V irtual C eremony

BACCALAUREATE DEGREES: Summa Cum Laude graduates are identified by blue and white cordons, Magna Cum Laude by white cordons, and Cum Laude by blue cordons.

Honor students are recognized in the program as follows:

*Cum Laude (GPA of at least 3.5) **Magna Cum Laude (GPA of at least 3.7) ***Summa Cum Laude (GPA of at least 3.9)

SAMUEL E WOOD MEDALLION: The Samuel E. Wood Medallion Award, a bronze medallion three inches in diameter and bearing a relief of the Bowman Hall tower, the name of Stout, and the motto “Learning, Skill, Industry, and Honor”, is presented annually to seniors who have contributed in student activities, leadership, and scholastic ability. A committee composed of faculty, administrators and students make the selection. Only 1 percent of the student body is eligible to receive this award. The Samuel E. Wood Medallion Award is presented to seniors only and on a local basis. To those seniors who receive it, it brings prestige and honor, as it is the highest award any student at UW-Stout can achieve. UW-STOUT SCHOLAR ATHLETE: The UW-Stout Scholar Athlete Award is given to student-athletes with a cumulative 3.50 grade point average in the semester preceding their final season of eligibility. The medallion presented to each of the senior Scholar-Athletes was designed in 2012 by former Blue Devil student-athletes Kate Mikutowski and Zak Snell. In addition, a large action poster of each senior Scholar-Athlete will be displayed in the Sports and Fitness Center during the upcoming year.

Honors are subject to final report.

Jarvis Hall Science Wing and the Discovery Center The Jarvis Hall Science Wing was opened in 2009 as part of a $43 million expansion and renovation of laboratories, classrooms and administrative offices for the College of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Managment. The technology wing also houses the Discovery Center, a unit dedicated to advancing the polytechnic focus of the university. By integrating UW-Stout’s applied research assets, its faculty and students and its relationships with community and industry leaders, the Discovery Center facilitates collaborative partnerships leading to innovative solutions for business, real-world learning for students and increased economic development.

Bowman Hall Bowman Hall characterizes UW-Stout. At the center of campus, its solid traditional exterior houses a modern interior devoted to serving students. The building is home to a variety of student service offices including Dean of Students, Counseling Center, Disability Services, Multicultural Student Services, Advisement Center, Registration and Records, Student Support Services and Financial Aid. Planning, Assessment, Quality and Research is also housed here.

The building is named for Clyde A. Bowman, who came to Stout in 1919 to administer the industrial education division. His tenure spanned the administrations of three Stout Institute presidents, and he served as a temporary president upon L. D. Harvey’s death.

A lma M ater On the banks of Lake Menomin Stands our alma mater true, With tower high and brilliant “S” For her we’ll dare and do. We’ll sing her praises many, We’ll glorify her name And on throughout the years of time Our love for Stout proclaim.

A cademic R egalia Many colorful robes are seen at college and university graduation ceremonies. Academic regalia date to the medieval origins of the university, when most scholars were also members of religious orders. Robes were also needed in those days to keep warm. Today’s academic robes are largely standardized, although individual universities often make exceptions. Bachelor’s, master’s and doctor’s robes are typically black, but differ in style. The bachelor’s gown has pointed sleeves, the master’s has oblong sleeves, and the doctoral gown has bell-shaped sleeves. The doctor’s gown is also trimmed in the front with black velvet, with three velvet crossbars on each sleeve. At UW-Stout, faculty and advanced-degree graduates also wear traditional hoods. The doctor’s hood is longer than the master’s, and has a wider velvet edging. For both master’s and doctor’s hoods, the hood is lined with academic colors of the granting institution (UW-Stout’s academic colors are blue and white), and the velvet trimming marks the academic discipline of the degree. The UW-Stout Chancellor, University Marshal, Assistant Marshals, and any other faculty member holding a doctorate who so desires may be seen wearing the UW-Stout doctoral robe. This robe is blue, representing the university’s academic colors, with black doctoral style velvet edging and sleeve crossbars. The UW-Stout doctoral hood is lined with blue and white — the academic colors.

Mortarboard tassels for UW-Stout bachelor’s graduates are white for those being awarded a bachelor of fine arts degree, yellow for the bachelor of science degree.

UW-Stout Honors College graduates are recognized with a royal blue satin stole. Graduating students who are members of recognized learned and/or professional societies may be honored for special academic achievement by wearing regalia such as a neck honor cord, ribbon, or suspended medallion.
