Sheila K. Gestring

Sheila K. Gestring, M.B.A., became the 18th president of the University of South Dakota on June 22, 2018, after serving as chief financial officer since 2010 and a part of the USD finance staff since 2006. She is a South Dakota native, and the second USD graduate and woman to serve as president. As an esteemed visionary and financial leader at USD, Gestring has played a pivotal role in stabilizing the university’s financial position while developing innovative financing plans for new facilities across campus. She was an instrumental leader in the University of South Dakota Foundation’s ‘Onward’ campaign, which surpassed over $250 million raised for student scholarships and development. Gestring’s strong vision for the future of the university is coupled with operational expertise. She is a vigorous defender of public education, particularly the liberal arts, and has a reputation around the state as an inventive problem-solver. She not only understands the needs of USD and public higher education, but recognizes the economic and political impacts, both state-wide and nationally. Her advanced approach to solving complex budgetary issues provides students with access to life- changing research experiences, as well as scholarships that make higher education affordable for all. Beyond her commitment to the university, Gestring has been a driving force in growing the city of Vermillion and creating a positive, symbiotic relationship between the community and university. As past chairperson of the Vermillion Chamber and Development Corporation, Gestring was a key visionary behind the historic renovation of McVicker Plaza, effectively linking the university and the VCDC in a meaningful way through a retail partnership with Charlie’s, USD’s fan shop. Under her tenure, Gestring helped the VCDC accomplish exceptional growth over the past four years, including achieving consecutive record growth for membership, doubling the amount of building permits secured and tripling the amount of annual construction investments made. Gestring’s spouse, Keith, holds a bachelor’s degree in environmental engineering from the School of Mines and Engineering–Montana Tech of the University of Montana. He recently retired after a long career with the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources. They have two children, Dillon, 16, and Wyatt, 14, who are avid Coyote fans and very involved in school activities. Gestring’s story is woven together by the unique pieces that make South Dakota a place so many are proud to call home. It is one that embodies a strong work ethic, Midwestern values and compassion for others. As USD continues to develop world-class facilities while providing its students with unlimited research and learning opportunities, President Gestring will lead the way and push USD forward as a premier, Division I institution.

The tradition of academic costume has a history of nearly eight centuries. In medieval Europe, all townsmen wore long flowing robes or gowns. The materials and colors varied greatly, according to wealth and rank of the individual, and were governed by royal decree. Gradually there developed distinctive gowns for the various professions, trades and guilds. They survive today in the gowns of religious orders, the judiciary and the academic regalia.

The gowns worn by the recipients of the various degrees vary somewhat in design. The sleeves of the gown worn by recipients of the baccalaureate degree are long and pointed, while the sleeves of the gown worn by the master’s degree recipients are square at one end with a slit at the elbow. The doctor’s gown has flowing sleeves with three bars of velvet and facing of velvet down the front of the gown.

Most distinctive of the academic regalia is the hood, which serves as identification of the graduate degree and the institution where the degree was awarded. The hood is lined with silk in the official colors of the institution. Thus, the hood of The University of South Dakota is lined in red. The trim is velvet, three inches wide for the master’s degree and five inches wide for the doctor’s degree. The color of the velvet border indicates the degree.

The academic cap was developed in the fifteenth century. Some caps were stiff, some soft, some square, some round, with a tuft in the center. The tassel used today is an elaboration of the tuft. While some institutions still use the round caps, most institutions have adopted the “mortar board” style which comes from Oxford. The tassel for graduate degrees may be black, except that a gold bullion tassel may be worn by recipients of the doctorate. The tassel’s color indicates the discipline in which the degree has been earned. The tassel colors are shown below:

Arts and Sciences...... White Business...... Sapphire Blue Education...... Light Blue Fine Arts (Art and Theatre)...... Brown Fine Arts (Music)...... Pink Health Sciences...... Green Law...... Purple Medicine...... Green

Faculty wearing medals with a red ribbon are recipients of a Belbas-Larson Award, given as the university’s highest honor for teaching excellence; faculty wearing a red/ white ribbon are recipients of Richard and Sharon Cutler Awards, given by the College of Arts and Sciences for promoting liberal arts education through teaching and research. Alma Mater

Words by Mabel Kingsley Richardson Music by Winfred R. Colton

South Dakota! How dear to thy children Alma Mater, Dakota, we drink thee a thy name, health How daring the tales oft retold As we go from thy sheltering walls; Of thy builders who first to thy Younger feet shall come trouping to gather wilderness came, thy wealth, Theirs a glory that never grows old. Younger voices shall ring through thy O the pine crested peaks of the storied halls. Black Hills, Keep us true to the type of the brave The Missouri that ribbons thy plain. pioneer, Where the slant summer sunshine so No hardship e’er daunted his quest; lavishly spills Alma Mater, lead on to the untried frontier, Over prairie and pasture and grain. We follow the trail to the west.

The writer of the Alma Mater’s lyrics, Mable Kingsley Richardson, graduated. from The University of South Dakota in 1902 and directed USD’s library from 1907 to 1941. A pioneer’s daughter who loved South Dakota, she voiced in the Alma Mater the views of a woman of her time.

An academics and research leader in South Dakota and the region since 1862, The University of South Dakota is the state’s flagship liberal arts institution.
