1 A GREETING FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Class of 2020:

Congratulations on completing your degree at Western Illinois University! While the Spring 2020 Commencement Ceremony is much different due to the ongoing pandemic, it is an honor to share this day virtually with you and your family and friends. All of us are excited to celebrate your accomplishments.

As a graduate of Western Illinois University, you join an elite group of individuals who hold a college degree. Approximately 21 percent of Americans age 25 or older have a bachelor’s degree, while only 9 percent of adults over 25 have a master’s degree. Your WIU degree puts you in a unique place and provides you with unlimited opportunities. Take advantage of that degree to benefit yourself, your family and friends, but most importantly, to create a world that is better because of your contributions.

During the past two semesters, I have had the great pleasure to meet many Western alumni, and today you join their ranks. I hope you leave here with that same level of pride and that you remain engaged and serve as a role model for students. We look forward to seeing you back on campus or at University events across the U.S. When you return, reach out to those faculty and staff who were a vital part of your college career. Talk to current students; help us reach future students by volunteering at recruitment events; and share your knowledge and fond memories of your time at WIU with others. Remember that once a Leatherneck, always a Leatherneck.

Use what you learned here, and what you’ll continue to learn, wisely. Each of you has enormous potential to make the world a better place. You are well prepared to make your mark and make a difference. I wish you great success and happiness. Congratulations!

Best wishes,

Dr. Martin Abraham Interim President

University’s readiness to adapt as it looks toward an ever-changing future.

About the Flags

Displayed in the arena are the flags of 26 nations representing students in today’s graduating class at Western Illinois University. The flags represent the following countries: Australia, Bangladesh, Belgium, Canada, China, Columbia, Costa Rica, Egypt, France, India, Jamaica, Japan, Kenya, Libya, Mexico, Nepal, New Zealand, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sri Lanka, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United States. Western Illinois University was home to students from 53 countries during the Fall 2019 semester.

10 About the Gonfalons

Gonfalons made their inaugural appearance in Western’s Fall 2009 Commencement ceremonies. The gonfalons are banners hung from a crossbar on poles, which represent the specific group immediately following the gonfalonier, the person carrying the banner.

Their origins date back to medieval Italy, when gonfalons were used to distinguish Italian republics. They have also been used in ecclesiastical processions, as well as in war; and they have evolved into bearing coats of arms for individuals and groups.

Many universities and colleges have adopted the use of gonfalons to enhance the ceremonial nature of commencement exercises.

Today’s processionals include gonfalons for Western Illinois University, the School of Graduate Studies, and each of the four academic colleges: Arts and Sciences (white); Business and Technology (royal blue); Education and Human Services (UN blue); and Fine Arts and Communication (spice brown).

Academic Regalia

The colorful regalia worn by academicians is steeped in tradition, dating back to the ecclesiastical garb of the Middle Ages. Adaptations from ecclesiastical to academic dress began in early European universities, which were founded by the church. University faculty and students wore the adapted robes for distinction and warmth. The University of Cambridge is cited as the first to use the academic gown.

Representatives of American universities met in the early 1890s and agreed upon a standard style of academic attire. The Intercollegiate Code, revised in 1932, and again in 1959, is followed today by American colleges and universities, except for a few schools, which continue to use the styles of England.

Gowns are traditionally black. However, some universities have authorized use of a color symbolic of the institution. Bachelor’s gowns have pointed sleeves and are designed to be worn closed. Master’s and Specialist gowns have long, closed sleeves with an arc near the bottom and an opening for the arm. Doctoral gowns are faced with wide velvet panels and have bell-shaped sleeves with three horizontal velvet bars.

Caps, originally round, are typically square mortarboards. Some universities have adopted a doctor’s cap with a soft crown instead of the mortarboard.

11 Academic Regalia (continued)

At Western, the tassel color of bachelor degree candidates indicates the college or program from which students graduate: College of Arts and Sciences, white for bachelor of arts, gold for bachelor of science, white and gold for bachelor of liberal arts and sciences, and apricot for bachelor of science in nursing; College of Business and Technology, sapphire blue; College of Education and Human Services, light blue for bachelor of science and bachelor of science in education, and citron for bachelor of social work; College of Fine Arts and Communication, brown for bachelor of arts, bachelor of fine arts, and bachelor of science, and pink for bachelor of music; General Studies Degree Program, white for bachelor of arts; and Interdisciplinary Studies, white for bachelor of arts and gold for bachelor of science. Master’s tassels are black. Doctoral tassels are old gold.

Hoods, which originally were attached to the gown and could be slipped over the head for warmth, are the most colorful articles of specialist, master’s, and doctor’s clothing. The color of the lining of the hood represents the university awarding the degree. The color of the facing of the hood reflects the academic discipline of the wearer’s highest degree. At Western, the colors awarded for doctoral and graduate degrees are: light blue, education doctorate, education specialist, and master of science in education; gold, specialist in school psychology and master of science; sapphire blue, master of accountancy and master of business administration; white, master of arts; white and gold, master of liberal arts and sciences; pink, master of music; and brown, master of fine arts.

Colors which may be seen among the marching faculty and their corresponding fields of study include: brown (fine arts), crimson (journalism), dark blue (philosophy), golden yellow (science), lemon yellow (library science), light blue (education), yellow brown (commerce, business, accountancy), pink (music), purple (law), sage green (physical education), scarlet (theology), gold and white (liberal arts and sciences), and white (arts, letters, humanities).

36 “Western Loyalty” (Western Illinois University Alma Mater)

Western students come together, Learning life’s new way to pave. Paths before us, ever striving, Purple, gold, our color’s brave. We all hold the keys within us. With new knowledge we will grow. Stronger in our bond unyielding, Truer to the world we know.

Chorus: Hail to Western, Alma Mater, May we honor thy fair name. Hail to Western, ever greater, on to conquest and to fame.

37 History of Western

On April 24,1899, a bill to establish Western Illinois University (then called Western Illinois State Normal School) was passed by the state legislature. Macomb was selected in 1900 as the location for the new normal school in west central Illinois, and on Tuesday, Sept. 23, 1902, Western Illinois State Normal School opened its doors for the first official day of classes on the new campus.

In 1921, the General Assembly changed the name of Western Illinois State Normal School to Western Illinois State Teachers College, and in 1947, the school was renamed Western Illinois State College. Ten years later, the school became Western Illinois University. Illinois Gov. William G. Stratton approved the change July 5, 1957, and Western began its transformation into a university.

Today, Western offers numerous undergraduate and graduate degree programs, as well as two doctoral programs and several post-baccalaureate certificate programs, and is comprised of the main campus in Macomb, IL, and the urban Quad Cities campus in Moline, IL.
