COMMENCEMENT 2016
Congratulations
Graduates!
President’s Message
to the Graduates
Dear Graduates:
I am pleased to be among those congratulating you today as you graduate
from Humboldt State University. This is a major accomplishment and
an important milestone in your life. I expect, as I have heard from so
many alumni, that you will appreciate
today’s importance even more as the
years go by.
During your time here, you made important connections that will influence
you for the rest of your life. You met
great friends and important mentors.
You were challenged to think in new
ways and to consider new perspectives.
You gained skills and confidence that
transcend specific areas of study, that
will serve you in whatever path you
follow. And you learned values related
to social justice and responsible stewardship of the natural environment,
perspectives that are hallmarks of HSU graduates.
The Humboldt State community is proud of you and will follow with
great interest as you put your learning to work in the world. Please stay
connected with HSU and let us know how things are going. You will always
be a part of “Forever Humboldt.”
With best wishes for an amazing life,
Lisa A. Rossbacher, Ph.D.
President

Greening Up Graduation
HSU students are known for their commitment to the environment. Dedicated
students at Humboldt State strive to reduce waste at Commencement ceremonies.
This year they’ll continue to reduce the number of single-use bottles, while also
working to minimize the number of disposable coffee cups.
Our vendors will be selling discounted water canteens, so look for water stations
in Redwood Bowl to refill your reusable water bottles. In addition, coffee will be
half price for those bringing their own coffee cup.
Working together we can green up graduation!
Special thanks to the following student groups: HSU Takes Back the Tap • Waste Reduction & Resource Awareness Program

About the Ceremony
Regalia
Commencement ceremonies at Humboldt State
University, like those at most universities in the
United States, feature distinctive academic regalia
and ornamentation.
The academic dress
has its origins in
medieval Europe,
particularly at Oxford and Cambridge,
where students and
teachers wore the
long gowns of clerics. Over the years, different
styles and traditions have evolved.
Generally speaking, the position of the tassel on
the cap indicates whether the degree has been
conferred. Upon conferral, it is moved to the left.
The gown’s sleeves indicate the highest degree
held—the bachelor’s gown has long pointed
sleeves, the master’s has long oblong sleeves,
and the doctor’s has very full sleeves with velvet
bars. The length and shape of the hood indicate
the highest degree earned—the infrequently worn
bachelor’s hood is 3 feet long, the master’s is 3.5
feet long, and the doctor’s is 4 feet long. The color
of the hood’s silk lining indicates the area of study
as well as the institution conferring the degree. The
colorful regalia of our faculty attest to the many
different universities from which they graduated,
as well as the variety of their academic fields.
the bell tower, and the now-retired Arcata noon
siren. It is titled “Sempre Pro Veritas,” or Greek for
“Always for Truth.”
Music
Ceremonial Mace
“Pomp and Circumstance,” which is so often heard
at commencement ceremonies, was originally
composed by Britain’s Sir Edward Elgar in 1901,
and was performed for the coronation of King
Edward VII. The title comes from a line in Shakespeare’s “Othello.” It eventually became a fixture
at American graduation events and is now used
as Humboldt State’s processional, welcoming
graduates to Redwood Bowl.
An ornamental staff typically made of metal
or wood, the mace symbolizes authority, and
is carried by a faculty
member who leads
the processional and
recessional.
Music Professor Gil Cline composed a new Commencement recessional, signaling the end of
the ceremony, during the University’s 2013-14
Centennial Year. The piece is inspired by sounds
from campus and evokes the HSU fight song,
Humboldt State’s mace
was redesigned during
its 2013-14 Centennial
Year by a team of University craftsmen and
artists, including Art
Professor Kris Patzlaff and her students, Jennifer
Slye Moore, an administrative support coordinator in the art department, and art alumnus
Roger Durham.
“The entire shape represents a torch, which
symbolizes enlightening students through
their educational experience at HSU,” Patzlaff
explains. The mace is also constructed of
sustainable materials, including recycled metal
and unleaded enamel. Engraved in silver on the
mace is Humboldt State University’s motto:
“Phos Aletheia,” Greek for “Light and Truth.”
Guest Information
Emergencies
Sign Language Interpreters
If an unforeseen situation occurs, we ask that you remain calm and listen
for instructions from the platform area. The main exits are through the
plaza and up the stairs at the southeast end of Redwood Bowl to Union
Street, the ramp at the southeast corner of the Bowl, and the tunnel at
the southwest corner of the Bowl.
Sign language interpreters will be signing throughout the ceremony on
the east side of Redwood Bowl only. The interpreters will not sign all
graduates’ names. However, any requests for graduate names you would
like signed will be honored. Please let our ushers know of your needs.
The University Police Department has a command post and first aid
station near the scoreboard, at the south end of Redwood Bowl. There are
police officers on duty. For emergencies, dial 9-1-1. For non-emergency
assistance dial 707-826-5555.
Lost & Found
Lost and found is located at the command post at the south end of the
Bowl, near the scoreboard.
Smoking
Smoking is prohibited inside university buildings, in Redwood Bowl, and
most places on campus. The designated smoking areas nearest to Redwood
Bowl are the upper playing fields, and the Van Matre Hall parking lot.
Photographs
Guests are asked not to stand in the aisles, or block the view of others
for the purpose of taking pictures. A commercial photographer will
be taking pictures of all graduates who cross the stage. Proofs of the
photographs will be sent to each graduate at no charge. Photographs
may then be ordered, though there is no obligation to do so.
