Congratulations Graduates! - Humboldt State University
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 1 Graduation Pledge of Social and Environmental Responsibility Green ribbons may be worn by graduates to symbolize their support of the Graduation Pledge of Social and Environmental Responsibility, a commencement tradition that started at HSU in 1987.

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!

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.
