COMMENCEMENT Spring 2010

Friday, May 14, 2010 Penn State York Pullo Family Performing Arts Center 6:00 p.m.

Associate, Baccalaureate, and Master’s Degrees

PROGRAM NOTES

Academic Procession Leading the procession are the campus marshals, the faculty and staff, and the group participating in the ceremony. The chancellor will enter last. Banners are displayed for each associate degree major and each baccalaureate college.

Academic Dress Gowns worn by those in the procession vary according to the degree held. Although the gown is most frequently black for academic degrees, certain universities have authorized the use of colored gowns. The academic gown has pointed sleeves for the bachelor’s degree, short or regular sleeves for the master’s degree, and round, full sleeves for the doctor’s degree. There are no trimmings on the bachelor’s and master’s gowns, but the doctor’s gown is faced in front with black velvet and has three bars of the same material across the sleeves—in some cases, the color of this velvet relates to the field in which the degree is granted.

Hoods are not usually worn by recipients of the associate or bachelor’s degrees. The hood, which is the most distinctive feature of the American code, varies in length according to the type of degree held and is lined with the official colors of the institution conferring the degree. The velvet border or edging of the hood indicates the character of the degree it represents: blue (philosophy); light blue (education); brown (fine arts, architecture); copper (economics); drab (business administration); golden yellow (science); green (medicine); sage green (physical education); orange (engineering); pink (music); russet (forestry); silver (rhetoric, oratory); or white (arts, letters, humanities).

The standard cap is the mortarboard, usually the color of the gown, and the standard tassel is black, except the doctor’s mortarboard has a gold tassel. Undergraduates wear the tassel on the right side of the cap until the moment the degree is conferred by the chancellor.

University Seal Medal The University seal medal worn by the chancellor symbolizes the authority which the University Board of Trustees has delegated to him to award degrees. The medal is a three-inch bronze with a black reverse, hung from a blue and white grosgrain neck ribbon.

Degrees The Pennsylvania State University awards a variety of academic degrees: doctorate, master’s, bachelor’s, and associate. Penn State York awards baccalaureate and associate degrees to those who have satisfactorily completed work in their programs. The campus also awards master’s degrees to those students who have completed their program in teaching and curriculum offered in conjunction with Penn State Harrisburg.

COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER

John J. Romano, B.S.,M.S.,Ph.D. Vice President for Commonwealth Campuses The Pennsylvania State University

John J. Romano, Ph.D. is the vice president for commonwealth campuses at The Pennsylvania State University, which includes academic and administrative leadership for nineteen undergraduate campuses across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He is responsible for strategic initiatives and development of the campuses, resource sharing, student recruitment and retention strategies, and promoting curricular integration across the entire University. Dr. Romano became a part of the Penn State community more than four decades ago and has diligently served the University in a variety of positions throughout those years. At the end of June, he will leave his post to spend time with his family and pursue his personal interests of sailing, traveling, reading, and golfing.

A familiar face in York, Dr. Romano served as the campus executive officer at Penn State York from 1985 to 1993 and during that time was successful in increasing campus enrollments and outreach activities in York and Lancaster. He led the campaign that resulted in the building of the M. S. Grumbacher Information Sciences and Technology Center and was instrumental in helping the campus gain funding and support for the Pullo Family Performing Arts Center, the Lee R. Glatfelter Library, and the John T. and Paige S. Smith Atrium, which opened in 2005.

Prior to his current assignment, Dr. Romano served from 1993 to 2005 as the vice provost and dean for enrollment management and administration and affiliate associate professor of education at The Pennsylvania State University, which included administrative responsibility for Enrollment Management and the offices of Undergraduate Admissions, Student Aid, and University Registrar. He also served as assistant and then associate dean for undergraduate studies and assistant professor of social sciences in the College of the Liberal Arts, and for one year as the interim director of the School of Journalism. Prior to his appointment at Penn State, he was the assistant to the vice president for student affairs at the University of Delaware.

Since taking on the vice presidency in 2005 when Penn State's campuses were restructured, Dr. Romano has helped to build disciplinary communities among the nineteen Commonwealth Campuses and University Park, streamlined the promotion and tenure process, and guided steady growth in enrollment. Overall enrollment on the nineteen campuses has increased by nearly 11 percent during the past four years. Currently, more than 33,500 students are enrolled at Penn State’s Commonwealth Campuses, the highest in the history of the University.

A member of the President's Council, the University's senior administrative policy body, Dr. Romano also serves as chairman of the faculty and staff campaign For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students. He has been active on various University committees over the course of his tenure, including the Academic Leadership Council, University Faculty Senate, Facilities Resources Committee, Facilities Naming Committee and chair of the Council of Campus Chancellors, to name just a few.

Dr. Romano resides in State College with his wife, Stephany. They have two grown children, Alexandria and J. Bradley, and are the proud grandparents of three grandchildren.

PENN STATE YORK

Penn State first offered educational opportunities in York in 1926 when a program in accountancy was conducted by the engineering extension for a group of citizens at the YMCA. Professors traveled from State College to York each week to teach. As the interest and need grew in York County, Penn State also held classes at William Penn High School, York Junior College, Wilson Elementary School, and Shiloh Elementary Building. In 1956 the school's advisory board provided funds to purchase eight acres of land on Edgecomb Avenue and the first campus building was constructed. In 1959, the York Center officially became the York campus as part of a general University reorganization which established the Commonwealth Educational System, now known as the Commonwealth Campus System.

In 1966 new facilities at our present location were opened and a limited bachelor's program was offered in engineering and science. By 1968 the first two years of almost all of the University's baccalaureate majors were available in York. A much needed library, science wing, and student community center including a gymnasium were added by 1976 and a new information sciences and technology center/bookstore/faculty offices was completed in 1991. In August 2005 a new facility opened featuring the Pullo Family Performing Arts Center, the Lee R. Glatfelter Library, and the John T. and Paige S. Smith Atrium. In the fall of 2006, the Starbucks Greenhouse became a reality and the Information Sciences and Technology Center (ISTC) was renamed the M.S. Grumbacher Information Sciences and Technology Center. The name change was in honor of the late Max Samuel Grumbacher in recognition of his ongoing support of Penn State York throughout his lifetime and in honor of his family’s support of the campus. In January 2007, Penn State, The Lancaster Center moved to a new, more visible location at 1383 Arcadia Road in the Farm and Home Center. This center, under the direction of Penn State York, is a partnership with Penn State Harrisburg and Penn State Great Valley. In the fall of 2007, the campus added a theatre minor and the RN to BS in Nursing program began in partnership with Penn State Mont Alto. In the fall of 2008 Penn State York earned the distinction of being designated an international campus by the University. Also in fall 2008 the campus began a partnership with Hanover Hospital extending a variety of programs to that community. In early spring 2009, construction began on transforming the old library into a science facility named in honor of the late Edward M. Elias, the first campus executive officer at York. The Edward M. Elias Science Building will open in summer 2010. Future plans for the campus include transforming the old chemistry labs in the Main Classroom Building into a state-of-the-art home for the engineering program.

With about 1,600 students and a wide range of educational opportunities, Penn State York has been an important part of the York community for more than eighty years and at the campus for over fifty years. York now offers eight baccalaureate degrees, seven associate degrees, the first two years of most Penn State majors, and a master of education degree in Teaching and Curriculum. In addition to those students taking credit course work, the campus serves thousands of students annually through continuing education services in both York and Lancaster.

NATIONAL ANTHEM PENN STATE ALMA MATER

By Francis Scott Key By Fred Lewis Pattee

O say can you see, For the glory of old State, By the dawn’s early light, For her founders, strong and great, For the future that we wait, What so proudly we hailed Raise the song, raise the song. At the twilight’s last gleaming? Sing our love and loyalty, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, Sing our hopes that, bright and free, Thro’ the perilous fight, Rest O Mother dear, with thee, All with thee, all with thee. O’er the ramparts we watched, Were so gallantly streaming. (softly) When we stood at childhood’s gate, And the rockets red glare, Shapeless in the hands of fate, The bombs bursting in air Thou didst mold us, dear old State, Dear old State, dear old State. Gave proof thro’ the night, That our flag was still there. May no act of ours bring shame To one heart that loves thy name, O say does that Star-Spangled May our lives but swell thy fame, Banner yet wave Dear old State, dear old State!

O’er the land of the free And the home of the brave!

Penn State is committed to affirmative action, equal opportunity, and the diversity of its workforce. U.Ed. YK 10-152
