1 GREETINGS FROM THE CHANCELLOR
Welcome to the 105th Commencement ceremony at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. This is the day to recognize the academic effort and personal commitment put forward by our students who are graduating today. As you look around, you can appreciate our need to use an arena this size. We all look every bit like the university that enrolls more Wisconsin residents than any other.
The May Commencement this year, where we welcomed the first degree recipients from the UWM Class of 2011, was my first as the permanent chancellor of this great university. While I had been part of several previous university commencement ceremonies, I was genuinely touched by what I experienced as chancellor.
From the stage, you hear something big and you see something small. What you hear are the ovations unleashed for individual students. Some sound like an entire U.S. Cellular Arena section is cheering for one person. What you see up close are the tears. They streak the cheeks of graduating students caught up in the joy of the moment. I would be very surprised if I didn’t hear and see the same emotional responses today.
On behalf of the UWM faculty and staff, I congratulate all of today’s graduating students. Combined with our May graduates, the Class of 2011 will total well over 5,000 students. An academic degree brings newfound opportunities and benefits to both the recipient and the wider community. I know all of us gathered here celebrate our students’ accomplishments today, and because of their achievements we look forward to a brighter tomorrow.
Best,
Michael R. Lovell Chancellor
3 STORY OF THE UWM SEAL
Official ceremonial activities and actions of the University of Wisconsin– Milwaukee nearly always make use of the UWM seal. It can be found on all significant university documents. The key elements of the UWM corporate seal are the university’s logo in the center and the years above the word “Milwaukee.”
The logo was redesigned in 1999 to more distinctly represent the university. Dist inguishing elements of the redesigned logo include the different typefaces used for the letters “UW” and “M,” which reflect the diversity inherent at UW-Milwaukee, and the overlapping of the “W” and the “M” to show the connection between the University of Wisconsin System and Milwaukee’s university. The two wavy banners below the letters “UWM” show movement and suggest a continuum of education throughout one’s life. The banners also represent waves and emphasize how Milwaukee and the campus are located near water. The nimbus, appearing behind the logo, symbolizes educational enlightenment.
The three years noted in the corporate seal are 1849, 1885 and 1956.
1849 represents the era that higher education began in this state. Wisconsin became the 30th state in the union on May 29, 1848. Less than two months later, on July 26, the University of Wisconsin was established under provisions in the new state constitution. One of the initial steps to prepare students for university was enrolling young people in preparatory classes. On February 5, 1849, 17 boys arrived for prepatory classes in space borrowed from the Madison Female Academy. This date is referred to in Wisconsin education as Founders Day. Then, in autumn 1850, the first University of Wisconsin freshman class assembled in Madison for first-year instruction as part of a four-year college curriculum.
1885 denotes the beginnings of public higher education in Milwaukee at the Milwaukee State Normal School. The Wisconsin legislature in 1880 approved expanding higher education by establishing nine normal schools around the state. The first s tudents in Milwaukee were admitted in 1885. In the beginning, curriculum was limited to a two-year teacher-training program. As its educational mission evolved, the school’s name changed. It became the Milwaukee State Teachers College in 1927 and the Wisconsin State College, Milwaukee, in 1951.
1956 signals the beginning of the modern era of public higher education in Milwaukee. During the late 1940s a nd early 1950s, many proposals to expand higher education offerings in Milwaukee were considered. The successful proposal approved in 1955 combined the previously mentioned Wisconsin State College, Milwaukee, and the Milwaukee office of the University Extension Center, an auxiliary of the University of Wisconsin in Madison. The new university was considered a part of the University of Wisconsin and cl asses at the new University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee began in the fall of 1956.
4 A QUICK HISTORY OF UWM
The name has changed—several times—but the roots of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee go back to 1885 when Wisconsin established the Milwaukee Normal School, a two-year teacher’s college. Some important dates: 1885 Milwaukee Normal School opens to train teachers in downtown Milwaukee at 18th & Wells 1892 University of Wisconsin offers day and evening classes in Milwaukee 1909 With the completion of a new Milwaukee Normal School building (today’s Mitchell Hall) the campus moves to its present location 1920 The University of Wisconsin Extension Division, formed in 1907, takes over responsibility for UW instruction in Milwaukee 1927 Normal school becomes Milwaukee State Teachers College with 4-year degree 1928 UW Extension opens Milwaukee Center downtown 1951 Milwaukee State Teachers College becomes Wisconsin State College with liberal arts degrees 1956 WSC & UW Milwaukee Extension merge to form UWM 1961 The 8.6-acre Milwaukee-Downer Seminary site, including 3 buildings, is purchased 1963 UWM offers first PhD degree, in mathematics 1964 UWM buys Milwaukee-Downer College buildings, expands campus 1965 UWM purchases the 6.3-acre Milwaukee University School campus 1970 Three residence towers, collectively called Sandburg Halls, open for student housing 1988 UW System designates eight Centers of Excellence at UWM 1995 Division of Outreach and Continuing Education Extension (now the School of Continuing Education) moves to new offices in the downtown Plankinton Building 2000 UWM awards diploma to 125,000th graduate;UWM named among top 102 public doctoral research universities in nation 2001 Governor announces honors academy at UWM 2002 Helene Zelazo Center for the Performing Arts opens. Fourth tower added to Sandburg Residence Halls. 2005 Men’s basketball team advances to Sweet 16 in NCAA Tournament. 2006 $100-million Campaign for UWM announced. Pavilion athletics complex and Kenilworth Square mixed-use student housing facility open. Men’s and women’s basketball teams both advance to NCAA Tournament. 2008 Campaign for UWM is completed more than a year early with $125 million pledged to the university. 2010 The School of Freshwater Sciences and Zilber School of Public Health become the first new academic schools established at UWM since the 1960s. UWM acquires the former Columbia Hospital campus: 11 acres; seven buildings with more than 800,000 gross square feet of space; and about 900 parking spaces. By the turn of the century, the school had expanded to offer programs in the liberal arts and science as well as education. By the ’30’s, the school, now called Milwaukee State Teachers College, was a national leader in innovative teacher education, with 1,500 students. A student from the 1916-17 academic year, Golda Meir, became prime minister of Israel from 1969-1974. After World War II, the College was authorized to award four-year bachelor degrees and, in 1951 became Wisconsin State College. Five years later it combined with the Milwaukee Extension Center, which had been the local outreach program of the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. Together, the two institutions became the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, with its focus on academic research, teaching and community service. Since its founding, UWM has expanded its programs so that today its 14 schools and colleges offer 94 undergraduate programs, 53 masters and 32 doctoral degrees.
5 CHANCELLOR’S MEDALLION
The medallion for Chancellor Lovell was created by a team of Peck School of the Arts faculty and students. The front is a map of the East Side campus, the mechanical back opens to reveal the chancellor's name, and the chain is made up of panther claw-inspired links.
THE MEANING OF ACADEMIC REGALIA
Academic gowns were worn as early as the 12th century. Their primary purpose then was to protect the wearer against the elements. When accepted styles of dress began to change in the 16th century, those in the legal and medical professions as well as scholars in the universities retained the traditional dress of gowns and hoods. The origin of the cap is unclear. Styles and colors had no particular meaning until 1895 when an “Intercollegiate Code” established design and color criteria. The bachelor’s gown has long, pointed sleeves and is designed to be worn closed. The master’s gown has an oblong sleeve open at the wrist; the rear part of its oblong shape is square cut, the front part has an arc cut away. The gown may be worn open or closed. The doctor’s gown has velvet down the front with three bars of the same velvet across the sleeves. It may be worn open or closed. The academic hood is the visual representation of the academic degree. The level of the degree is indicated by the length of the hood and the width of its velvet edging, with the doctoral hood being the largest. The color of the lining of the hood denotes the school conferring the degree, the color of the velvet binding denotes the field of study. The color denoting the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is gold, dark blue is the color denoting philosophy; therefore, all recipients of the Doctor of Philosophy degree (Ph.D.) at UWM wear hoods lined with gold and trimmed in dark blue velvet. Other trim colors that you may observe among the masters candidates and the faculty are:
BLUE VIOLET—Architecture PEACOCK—Human Resources and Labor Relations WHITE—Art LEMON—Library & Information Science BROWN—Art/Dance/Drama PINK—Music BEIGE—Business Administration APRICOT—Nursing LIGHT BLUE—Education GOLD—Science ORANGE—Engineering/Computer Science CITRON—Social Work/Criminal Justice
Honors: The gold cord, worn by some of the bachelor’s degree candidates, identifies those students who have been awarded Commencement Honors for high academic achievement throughout their career at UWM. An asterisk (*) is directly after the names of bachelor’s degree candidates awarded Commencement Honors in this program. The pewter-colored stole recognizes undergraduate students receiving the Honor’s Degree. This special diploma is awarded in recognition of outstanding academic achievement to students who have completed the requirements of the University Honors College and achieved an overall grade point average of 3.5 or above. Marshals wear the gold cap and gown. They are responsible for leading the degree candidates in the processional marches and for keeping order throughout the ceremony.
