Commencement Mission Statement
Commencement at Washington State University represents the culmination of
a student’s academic achievement. It is a time for celebration and reflection
for students, families, faculty, and staff. It brings together the campus
community to share the joy of the accomplished goals of our students.
The commencement ceremony at Washington State University serves a dual
purpose: to mark a point of achievement, thus completing a chapter in the
lives of students and those who support them, and to encourage continued
pursuit of learning, personal fulfillment, and engagement with
their local and worldwide communities.

At Washington State University, we strongly believe that we provide the
tools necessary to help our students succeed. However, we also recognize that each student ultimately determines his or her own path. It is
your hard work, determination, and persistence that have brought you
to this day. You, your family, and your friends should be immensely
proud of this achievement.
In the years ahead, I know you will often reflect upon what you have
experienced here at WSU. Graduation opens the door for you to put to
use what you have learned in your classes, laboratories, internships, and
campus life. You now have the opportunity to make a difference in the
Elson S. Floyd, Ph.D.

world. Take advantage of it.
Again, congratulations. I wish you every success and trust that you
will remain connected to WSU, your alma mater. You will always be a
member of the loyal Cougar family.
It is an honor to preside at your commencement. I look forward to
shaking your hand and wishing you well after you receive your
diploma cover.

PRESIDENT’S
CEREMONIAL
STOLE
AND
CHAIN
OF
OFFICE
President’s Ceremonial Stole
Presented to President Elson S. Floyd during his
first commencement ceremony at Washington State
University in fall 2007, the ceremonial stole signifies
the ethnic diversity the University seeks in all its
endeavors and displays a dynamic visual presentation. Researched and designed by faculty member
Linda Arthur Bradley with contributions from
apparel, merchandising, design, and textiles students, the stole is made of textiles from locations
including Ecuador, India, Scotland, and Japan.
Many came from personal collections of Bradley or
her colleagues, some were available commercially,
and four were hand-woven by fiber artists specifically for the stole.
Master Salish weaver Susan Pavel hand-spun and wove two pieces of traditional
Indian design. Other custom pieces include a Hawaiian hand appliqué by Charlotte Hughes, an American coverlet sampler by Cynthia Hosek, and embroidered
pieces representing the Nez Perce tradition by Ann MacCormack.
President’s Chain of Office
During commencement ceremonies and other special occasions, the
president of Washington State University wears the President’s Chain
of Office. The medallion features the WSU shield with Cougar head,
and the links are engraved with the names and dates of service for
each past WSU president, starting with George Lilley, who served
from 1891 to 1892, and ending with V. Lane Rawlins, who served from
2000 to 2007. Blank links allow engraving of names and service years
for future presidents.
The Chain of Office was created at the request of V. Lane Rawlins, who
became president of WSU on June 8, 2000. He wore it for the first time
during his inauguration on March 28, 2001.

BEST WISHES FROM THE FACULTY SENATE AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL CHAIRS
I’m thrilled to congratulate all
of you on earning your degrees.
The 2012 census showed that only about 30 percent of all Americans have
a bachelor’s degree, 11 percent have a master’s degree, and 2 percent have a
professional or doctoral degree. What you’ve done puts you into an elite group.
I’ve had the good fortune to have a number of you in class, and I always enjoy
seeing familiar faces step up to receive a diploma.
Craig Parks
Chair, Faculty Senate
I’m especially excited that so many of you are first-generation college students.
I am one as well, so I understand the challenges one faces in going to college
without family members who can help prepare you for the experience. I was
able to succeed in part because, like you, I went to land-grant schools (Michigan
State undergrad, Illinois graduate) that understood my needs as a first-gen
student; like you, I had high school teachers, professors, and family friends
that pointed me in the right direction; and most of all like you, I had family
members who wanted the best for me. I repay them by doing for others what
they did for me. Now you have a responsibility to do the same. Be there for the
young people coming after you who need guidance. And as soon as you can, go
thank all of the people, in person, who put you on this path.
Come say hi to me after the ceremony.
Craig Parks
Chair, Faculty Senate

Graduates,
Commencement day is finally here, a day I am sure most of you have anxiously
awaited! On behalf of the administrative professional staff at Washington State
University I would like to commend you on this significant accomplishment.
We applaud each and every one of you!
For some of you, graduation marks the end of your academic career, for
others it is a stepping stone to bigger and better things. Whatever your future
holds, please know we were happy to serve you and wish you the best in your
future endeavors.
Welcome to the ranks of the Cougar Alumni, and Go Cougs!

ACADEMIC
REGALIA
ACADEMIC REGALIA
Academic regalia arose through evolution and modification of the robes worn
by medieval students, who were usually clerics in the cathedral schools and
monasteries established by the church. As early as 1321, a medieval statute
required that all doctors, licentiates, and bachelors wear academic gowns and
hoods. Gowns were necessary for warmth in the unheated medieval buildings, and hoods may have been designed to cover tonsured heads. Today,
immediately after receiving a charter, new institutions adopt a distinctive design
for academic attire expressive of their individuality.
On May 26, 1895, a group of institutional representatives met at Columbia
University to establish a uniform code for academic regalia in this country.
The committee of the American
Council on Education on its “Academic Costume Code” states the
following:
For all academic purposes—
including trimming of doctor’s
gowns, edging of hoods, and
tassels of caps—the colors
associated with the different
subjects are as follows:
Agriculture: Maize
The approved academic attire for all graduates is composed of a cap and gown.
For master’s and doctoral graduates, a hood is included. The basic article of attire
is the gown, usually black in color, and similar in design for all degrees with the
sleeves being the principal indicator of degree level. Gowns for those graduating
with a bachelor’s degree have pointed sleeves; the sleeves on master’s gowns arc
away at the front; and doctoral gowns have round, bell-shaped sleeves. Bachelor’s
and master’s gowns are untrimmed while doctoral gowns feature distinctive
velvet facing down the front and three velvet bars on each sleeve.
Arts, Letters, Humanities: White
The hood has become the colorful standard-bearer of academic symbolism.
By examining the hood, an informed observer should be able to identify the
degree level, the academic field of study in which the degree was earned, and
the institution that conferred the degree. The hood is made of the same material as the gown. Hood length varies according to degree: bachelor’s—three feet,
master’s—three and a half feet, and doctor’s—four feet in length and has panels
at the sides. The color or colors of the hood lining indicate the institution that
conferred the degree (crimson and gray for WSU). The hood is trimmed or edged
in a border of velvet either two, three, or five inches in width for the respective
degrees. The border color represents the faculty or field of study in which the
degree was awarded. At WSU, bachelor’s degree candidates do not wear hoods.
Fine Arts including
Architecture: Brown
The approved cap of the academic costume is the mortarboard or Oxford cap—a
stiff board nine inches square, placed on a soft cap and joined in a pointed design
in front and back. The color is always that of the gown and uniformly black
for the four-year degrees. The use of velvet has been reserved for the cap of the
doctor’s degree. A silk cord with a tassel made of many threads is attached to a
button in the center of the board.
Philosophy: Dark Blue
Commerce, Accountancy,
Business: Drab
Communication: Crimson
Dentistry: Lilac
Economics: Copper
Education: Light Blue
Engineering: Orange
Forestry: Russet
Home Economics: Maroon
Law: Purple
Library Science: Lemon
Medicine: Green
Music: Pink
Nursing: Apricot
Oratory (Speech): Silver Gray
Pharmacy: Olive Green
Physical Education: Sage Green
Public Administration,
including Foreign Service:
Peacock Blue
Public Health: Salmon Pink
Science: Golden Yellow
A distinctive commencement rental gown for students earning Ph.D. and Ed.D.
degrees debuted in spring 2012. The gown is crimson with gunmetal-gray velvet
accents and a matching velvet tam. WSU is the only university with a custom
rental gown. The purchased version of the custom gown became available in
fall 2012 and is designed with a split hood, two silver WSU shield medallions
holding the hood in place, two WSU medallion cufflinks on each sleeve, and
other embellishments.

COMMENCEMENT 2015
Washington State University, on the occasion
of its 119th annual spring Commencement,
cordially welcomes all those who have come to
the Pullman campus to share in ceremonies
honoring the graduating class of 2015. To class
members, the Class of 2015, the University extends
sincere congratulations.
WSU enrolls 28,686 students statewide. This includes
19,846 undergraduates and 4,150 graduate and
professional students learning at the Pullman and
Spokane campuses or through distance education.
At the Tri-Cities and Vancouver campuses, 4,690
undergraduate, graduate, and professional students
are enrolled.
Commencement is the special occasion that provides
public recognition of students’ academic achievements. The transcript is the official document certifying
the successful completion of specific academic
requirements. The diploma is mailed after the
ceremony.
The first WSU Commencement, held June 24,
1897, recognized eight students being advanced to
degrees—three in engineering, one in biology, two in
economics, and two in English. This followed a legislative act in 1895 empowering the college to grant
Within academic areas on either side of the floor, the names of the
degree recipients are called in random order as they approach the
readers. Students will be viewed on big screens via video as their
names are read.
Appearance of a name in this program is presumptive
evidence of graduation and graduation honors, but it must not in any
sense be regarded as conclusive. Notation on the university transcript
remains the official testimony of degree possession.
Names in this program include May 2015 graduate and
undergraduate applicants and August 2015 undergraduate
applicants who applied by the May 2015 application deadline.
August 2015 undergraduate applicants who did not meet the May
application deadline and all August graduate applicants will be
listed in the fall 2015 commencement program. This program is not
a listing of those attending the spring ceremony.

the usual academic and honorary degrees and issue
diplomas.1 With the construction of Bryan Hall in
1909, Commencement moved to the well-equipped
Bryan Auditorium. Enrollment and the number
of degree candidates increased over the years, and
Commencement moved to Bohler Gymnasium following its construction in 1928. Following World
War II and the burgeoning enrollment created by
the return of students receiving veterans’ benefits
(G.I. Bill), Commencement was moved outdoors to
Rogers Field in the football stadium (1949-1973).
Because it was always possible that inclement
weather would disrupt the ceremonies, it was necessary to duplicate arrangements in Bohler Gymnasium. However, only twice in those years—1954
and 1963—was it necessary to move the outdoor
ceremony indoors. In 1973, with the completion of
Beasley Performing Arts Coliseum, Commencement
moved indoors permanently.
In 1986, the University’s Commencement Committee recommended decentralizing Commencement
to make the event more personal for graduating
students. The WSU administration approved, and
from 1986 through 1996, an All-University Commencement Assembly was held in the coliseum,
and individual college ceremonies took place in
the coliseum, Bohler Gymnasium, Bryan Auditorium, Compton Union Building Ballroom, and
Hollingbery Fieldhouse. Beginning with the 100th
Commencement in May 1996, the college ceremony
times were changed to allow some to precede the
All-University Assembly. In 1998, due in part to

MACE
2001–2002 academic year. For the first time, WSU
held two Commencements, one during fall semester
(December 15, 2001) and the other during spring
semester (May 11, 2002).
This is the University’s 119th spring ceremony.
President Elson S. Floyd, WSU’s tenth president, now
presides over the ceremonies.
THE UNIVERSITY MACE
The University Mace, a traditional symbol of authority, will lead the processional today. The mace is
carried by the chair of the Faculty Senate with an
honor guard consisting of the presidents of the
undergraduate and graduate and professional student
associations. Craig Parks, Faculty Senate Chair, carries
it today, accompanied by Jared Powell, president of
the Associated Students of WSU, and Nathan Neale,
president of the Graduate and Professional Student
Association of WSU.
Created in 1985, the two-foot-long, nine-pound scepter is cast in silver and bronze and features a globe
atop a laurel branch, wrapped in a silver ribbon and
inscribed “Washington State University.” According
to designer and craftsman Tim Doebler of WSU’s
Department of Fine Arts, “the globe represents the
universality of education and the quest for knowledge. Laurel crowns were presented to academicians
by the ancient Greeks.”
The anvil on top of the globe is a symbol of forging
and molding education, rather than forcing it upon
students.

clinical market—web-based software for a medical diagnostic system. Promoted to CEO,
she secured financing and drove international commercialization, culminating in a
profitable exit via acquisition by a billion-dollar healthcare company. She then led the
transition of the product line which included world-wide responsibilities and an appreciation for other countries’ healthcare systems.
Healy’s experience includes several positions as a developmental scientist and managing product commercialization in startup biotech companies. Her career began with an
industrial postdoctoral position where much of her training took place in Belgium.
Healy was raised in Kirkland, Washington, and spent her youth riding horses, playing
