O say can you see by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there; 0 say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Music Provided by Polished Brass.

17 Awarding of degree and honors pending completion and audit of coursework. § Member, Honors Program Graduation Honors Cum Laude 3.50 - 3.79 Magna Cum Laude 3.80 - 3.89 Summa Cum Laude 3.90 - 4.00 Students graduating with honors wear green honor cords. Honors Program graduates wear gold honor cords.
Academic Dress From the costumes worn in the academic procession one can tell the level of degree (associate's, bachelor's, master's, doctor's) the wearer has earned, the field of learning, and the institution that granted the degree. The costume consists of cap, gown, and hood.
The usual cap is a square black mortarboard with a black tassel; the doctor's cap has a gold tassel. The gown is also normally black. Associate's, bachelor's and master's gowns are relatively plain and closed in front; the doctor's gown is cut fuller, is open in front, has velvet panels down the front, and has three velvet bars on the sleeves. The panels and bars are usually black.
The hood, patterned after the medieval monk's hood, goes over the shoulders and hangs down in back. The hoods for the three degrees vary in length from the bachelor's, the shortest, to the doctor's, the longest. The velvet border shows by its color the field of learning; the most common are: white - arts, letters, humanities (usually seen in honorary doctor's degrees); dark blue - philosophy (the most common in doctor's hoods); purple - law; scarlet - theology; green - medicine; golden yellow - science. The same colors may be used in the panels and bars of the gown. The most distinctive part of the costume is the silk lining of the hood which bears the official colors of the institution granting the degree.

19 2013 Honorary Degree Recipient Dianne Dunkelman, Founder, The National Speaking of Women's Health Foundation
Dianne Dunkel man is the founder and former CEO of the National Speaking of Women's Health Foundation, a civic activist, and a long-time philanthropist.
She began what became Speaking of Women's Health® in 1996 as a one-day event in Cincinnati. That event has since grown into a national foundation with more than 50 conferences and events in more than 40 cities nationwide.
In December of 2008, under the guidance of Ms. Dunkel man, a number of the branded projects of the National Speaking of Women's Health Foundation were transferred to the Cleveland Clinic Center for Specialized Women's Health. Those branded projects included Speaking of Women's Health; Universal Sisters (an outreach program dedicated to African-American women) and Hablando de la Salud de la Mujer (an outreach program dedicated to Hispanic women).
Through these and other programs, Ms. Dunkelman has worked to help women understand and recognize their health-care choices. Her foundation has caught the eye of such celebrities as Florence Henderson, Valerie Simpson, Mary Wilson and Dottie Peoples, who joined Speaking of Women's Health as volunteers.
Ms. Dunkelman was also responsible for the development of Speaking to Men About Health. The health of men became a particularly strong passion when her husband Jay died of colon cancer in 2004.
In 2006, Ms. Dunkelman became increasingly aware of the prevalence of childhood obesity. This concern led to her development of Clever Crazes for Kids, an educational program aimed at children from kindergarten through grade six that focuses on nutrition, physical activity, self-esteem and respect for the environment. Ms. Dunkelman has also been active in supporting the arts and civic endeavors in Cincinnati, notably the Cincinnati Ballet Company, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, and Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center. Through local efforts, she was selected by the National Society of Fund Raising Executives for the National Philanthropy Award in 1992, honored with a Post Corbett Award in 1991, and named a Cincinnati Enquirer Woman of the Year in 1989.
20 2013 Honorary Degree Recipient
Elmer Hensler, Founder and President, ~een City Sausage
Elmer Hensler is the founder and president of Queen City Sausage, a firm that for nearly half a century has been part of Cincinnati's culinary tradition.
Cincinnati, of course, has long been known as a center for processing and producing meat products, and the West End was long a center of such enterprises. At one time, in fact, the West End housed some 40 separate meat packing businesses, many relying on recipes and practices born in Europe.
Mr. Hensler was born in 1930 in the West End, the middle child in a family of nine children. By age 12, he was working in the meat business, learning, among other things, the craft of making sausage.
In 1965, with an investment of $13,000, Mr. Hensler joined forces with Cincinnati's best "spice man," Alois Stadler, and master sausage-maker, George Nagel, to create Queen City Sausage. Using authentic German recipes, they earned a reputation for making the some of the best sausage in a city with a genuine taste for it. Over the next three decades Mr. Hensler and his partners brought about a ten-fold increase in the size of the company. Queen City Sausage also earned the coveted USDA federal inspection certification after meeting and exceeding all of the organization's stringent quality requirements.
In 2001, Mr. Hensler bought out his partners and became the sole owner of what by then was formally Queen City Sausage & Provisions Inc. Today his company is producing more than 15 million Queen City sausage links a year, and stands as the largest locally-owned and operated sausage producer in the region. It also enjoys the distinction of being the official sausage of the Cincinnati Reds.
At age 83, Mr. Hensler remains active in the company- which is in the midst of another expansion project, one that is designed to consolidate operations in a new building adjacent to the original.
21 2013 Award Winners House-Bruckmann Awards Cincinnati State Technical and Community College has presented faculty members Stani Kantcheva and Ryan S. Shadle with its 2013 House-Bruckmann Awards for teaching excellence.
The House-Bruckmann Awards are given annually on the basis of nominations and secret ballots by Cincinnati State faculty members. They are named after Clifford House, the first president of Cincinnati Technical College, and Alice Bruckmann, a member of the College's first board of trustees.
Stani Kantcheva Stani Kantcheva is a recipient of the 2013 House/Bruckmann Faculty Excellence Award at Cincinnati State.
A native of Bulgaria, Stani studied fashion design in high school because, she said, she wanted to be different. She achieved that goal in a field that had nothing to do with clothes, earning a Master's in Electrical Engineering at Technical University in Sofia, Bulgaria, during a six-year course of study that she completed in 1997.
Along the way, however, she began helping her father in his accounting business, and after relocating to the U.S. she came to Cincinnati State, where she earned an accounting certificate in 2003. She subsequently became a Certified Public Accountant as well as a Certified Management Accountant.
After working at KPMG and Copernus, Stani began teaching at Cincinnati State in 2005, taking on courses ranging from Computerized Accounting to Federal Taxation - Business. Her current current courseload includes, Computerized Accounting, Financial Statement Analysis, Governmental and Not-For-Profit Accounting, Payroll Procedures, Accounting for Non-Financial Managers, Managerial Accounting, Intermediate Accounting 1 and Intermediate Accounting 2.
Nick Nissley, Dean of the Business Technologies Division at Cincinnati State, describes Stani as a learner who takes a personal interest in her students.
"Stani is truly one of those people who is curious," Nissley said.
Evaluations by students describe a teacher who helps her students succeed. "I wouldn't have made it through that course without her help," one student wrote.
Colleagues, meanwhile, describe her as pleasant. Fun. Effervescent. Student-focused. A breath of fresh air. "Someone not liking Stani," one colleague wrote, "does not like kittens."
Outside the classroom, Stani serves as an Accounting Academic Advisor; as chair of the Scholarship Committee; and as a member of the Honors Committee, BTD Social Committee, and Commencement Committee. Her off-campus community activities include participation in the Accounting for Kids program at Cincinnati Public Schools and as a volunteer on coat drives and emergency food distribution efforts.
22 (House-BruckmannAwards Continued) Ryan S. Shadle Ryan S. Shadle is a 2013 recipient of the House/Bruckmann Faculty Excellence Award at Cincinnati State. He is an Academic Foundations Instructor in the Humanities & Sciences Division, where he focuses on reading and writing applications.
A resident of Ft. Thomas, Ky., Ryan earned a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology and Applied Cultural Studies from Northern Kentucky University in 1996 and a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies from NKU in 2007.
He began teaching at Cincinnati State as an adjunct in 2007, teaching English 101, English 102 and First Year Experience. He also served as Director of Ink Tank, a literary organization based in Over-the-Rhine.
In 2009 Ryan became a full-time faculty member. In addition to his teaching duties, he serves at the College as a member of the Faculty Senate; as an Advisory Board member for the Black Male Initiative; as an International Student mentor; and as Director of the Cincinnati Academic League (which organizes academic competitions for regional high schools that are typically hosted by Cincinnati State).
In the community, Ryan serves as a volunteer for the Greater Cincinnati Regional Science Bowl; a volunteer for the Urban Appalachian Council (where he has been a member of its Research Committee); a volunteer for the Appalachian Community Development Association; an Oyler Elementary School reading tutor; and an East Price Hill Adult Basic Education tutor. He has also been involved with the Drop Inn Center Men's Recovery Writing Group.
Robbin Hoopes, Dean of the Humanities & Sciences Division, in his remarks during a recent awards ceremony that Ryan " lights a fire" in many of the students he works with. Those students, he said, appreciate Ryan because he sees them for what they can do, not as problems who need remedial help before they can begin taking "real" classes at the College.
Dr. Hoopes said Ryan is known as a faculty member who works across the College on projects, ranging from the Health Careers Cooperative to recruiting efforts aimed at high school students.
Ryan, for his part, told colleagues during a recent House/Bruckmann reception that he credits his upbringing for at least some of his commitment to students who are sometimes struggling. He specifically cited his granddad, who would drop him off from t ime to time to spend a day working for free at a neighbor's farm, and who told him to "look through the fences" and see how hard other people had to work to get by. Ryan also credited his colleagues for giving him inspiration. "I'm surrounded by faculty excellence," he said. "I can think of probably 20 people off the top of my head who deserve this award more than I do ... I'm lucky to have colleagues who helped me."
23 Distinguished Alumni Award
Linda Pohlgeers, '79 Linda Pohlgeers is the recipient of the 2013 Distinguished Alumni Award.
Linda graduated in 1979 from what was then Cincinnati Technical College with an Associate of Arts and Sciences degree in Electronics Engineering Technology. She was a Summa Cum Laude graduate, and had successfully completed co-op assignments at Procter & Gamble and Siemens-Allis.
After graduation Linda was hired as a full-time Electronic Engineering Technologies instructor - the first woman on the faculty of the Engineering Technology Division. In 1982 she graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BA in mathematics from the University of Cincinnati, and a year later switched to adjunct status at Cincinnati State to start raising her family. She returned to Cincinnati State as a full-time instructor in 1999 and has been with the College since.
Linda won Cincinnati State's House/Bruckmann Award for Teaching Excellence in 2006, and three year later earned a M.Ed. in Education Administration from Xavier University. In 2012 she was named Associate Dean in the Center for Innovative Technologies.
Students, colleagues and supervisors describe Linda as someone who is thoroughly engaged in the life of the college. She has been instrumental in developing such courses as Introduction to Electrical Engineering Technologies, Survey of Analog Devices, and a capstone project for electrical engineering technologies majors, and contributed that background last year to the task of converting the academic calendar from terms to semesters. She has been active nationally and locally with the Society of Women Engineers. She has also been active in programs designed to recruit students and co-op employers. Through her studies at Xavier (which focused on student retention) and her work as associate dean, she has in recent years focused on efforts to design teaching techniques, curriculum and other tools to help students succeed.
"Linda is one of the most dedicated instructors and/or administrators I have seen in my nearly 23 years in academia," wrote the author of one letter of nomination.
"Linda is a maverick," wrote another. "She selected a career in a field that was predominately held by men, and her opinions and contributions are sought out by those with whom she works."
24 Class of2013 Student Representative Yelena Simo nova Yelena Simonova has been selected to give the Student Address during the 2013 Commencement Ceremonies at Cincinnati State.
Yelena was born and raised in Karaganda, Kazakhstan. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics from Kazakh Economics University (where she was on the Dean's List for eight consecutive semesters), she came to the United States to pursue further education. Arriving in New York City with all of $300 in her pocket, she soon discovered that graduate school would have to wait until she could establish herself in a more affordable community. She settled in Cincinnati, and soon enrolled at Cincinnati State.
Today she stands before you as a Summa Cum Laude graduate who has earned associate degrees in applied business, business financial services, and accounting technologies.
Her employment resume is similarly robust. In Kazakhstan she worked for nearly four years as both a cosmetics sales consultant and retail store manager. In Cincinnati, Yelena started her own company, VC Cleaning, in 2006, managing all aspects of the business - including bookkeeping, employee recruiting, personnel management and marketing.
At Cincinnati State her co-op assignments included a Milford CPA firm, where she worked as an accounting clerk, and then the Procter & Gamble Co., which has grown into a full-time position as a purchasing associate for P&G Specialty Chemicals.
Yelena is also performing community relations and student services duties with a student-built online community called "SlateUp" that is aiming to foster student collaboration and shared learning.
Prayer and Meditation Riyad Shamma, MS Riyad Shamma is the Founder and Executive Director of the Institute of Youth Development and Excellence in West Chester. He holds a BA in Industrial Engineering, as well as an MS in Industrial Engineering from the University of Cincinnati. For more than a decade he has served as an Imam in the Greater Cincinnati Muslim community, maintaining both a prison ministry and a hospital chaplaincy.
