COMMENCEMENT Spring 2010 ___________________________________________________________________ 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.

  • Public Art: Call for Entries
    Public Art: Call for Entries An Outdoor Art Project “We Are” Sculpture The Pennsylvania State University PURPOSE Penn State’s 2013 Senior Class voted to commission a “We Are” sculpture on campus as its gift to the University. The sculpture will represent the University’s iconic theme, "We Are." The words of the Penn State Alma Mater in the original handwriting of Fred Lewis Pattee will be incorporated into the piece. The words to the alma mater were written in April 1901 by Pattee, professor of American literature, and embody Penn State pride. The inscription on the sculpture will serve as a visual representation of what it truly means to be a Penn Stater, according to Morgan Delaware, overall chair of the Senior Class Gift Committee. "Class gifts go well beyond providing a tangible symbol of the loyalty and pride of a class; the class gift connects your class to every Penn State class before you," said Penn State President Rodney Erickson. "A 'We Are' sculpture enhanced with the words of the Penn State Alma Mater combines two of Penn State’s most cherished expressions of who we are ... It will certainly become a 'must see' landmark on campus." The tradition of class gifts began when the class of 1861, at its reunion in 1890, gave the University a portrait of Penn State’s first president, Evan Pugh, which still hangs in the lobby of Old Main. ELIGIBILITY This competition is open to all interested artists. Each artist may submit only one entry. SITE A national competition is being held for the commission of a sculpture adjacent to the east side of the Intramural Building on Penn State’s University Park Campus.
