CONFERRING of DEGREES

S aturday , M ay 8 th

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.

University of Wisconsin-Stout is the first Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award recipient in higher education.

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.

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.
