1 dear 2016 Fall Graduation Candidates:

Congratulations to you, our newest graduates! You did it.

I’d also like to congratulate and thank your families and friends who have anticipated this day — this triumph — with immense pride, as well as the faculty and staff members who have supported you along the way.

I look forward to commencement every year. It is a day to recognize your hard work and perseverance, and also the day I feel most proud to be a member of the MSU Denver family. This year, I am particularly grateful to be a part of the celebration because yours will be one of the last graduations I preside over as president.

As you may have heard, I’ll be retiring in June 2017. It has been a special honor to serve as president of this University for the past 11 years. When I first arrived on campus in 2005, I had this big vision – to transform MSU Denver into the preeminent urban university in the nation.

With the support and trust of students like you, we have made great progress toward this goal.

We went from a college to a university, designed and launched five master’s programs, constructed buildings to enhance student learning and became a sought-after partner in the community.

We also increased opportunities for nontraditional students and students of color. This year, students of color make up almost 40 percent of MSU Denver’s overall student population, and nearly 32 percent of our students are the first in their families to go to college. Our first-time freshman retention rate has risen from 56 percent 10 years ago to 72 percent this fall for our students who participated in the First Year Success Program. And we’re working hard to reach our goal of achieving Hispanic Serving Institution status by 2018, meaning that our Latino undergraduate, full-time equivalent enrollment would be 25 percent or higher.

And these are just a few of the many things we’ve accomplished together. Today, you become an ambassador of these achievements and our University. When you succeed in your careers and lives, people understand the quality of an MSU Denver education. I am confident that you will make us proud.

So, here’s to you. The road may have been long and difficult. There may have been some stumbles and falls or some serious roadblocks that stood in your way. There may have been times you felt like giving up. But you didn’t. Take a moment to let that sink in, to understand what you have achieved, and let it motivate you on your journey forward.

Please accept my heartfelt congratulations on joining the more than 87,000 Roadrunner alumni who are transforming their communities and our world!

Sincerely,

Stephen M. Jordan, Ph.D. President, Metropolitan State University of Denver

2 msu denver: transForminG lives, Communities and HiGHer eduCation

Metropolitan State University of Denver continues to make a significant impact on the lives of its students and in the Colorado community.

In 2016, MSU Denver made tremendous progress toward its goal of becoming the preeminent public urban university in the nation. The College of Business earned accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Only 755 business schools in 51 countries and territories – fewer than 5 percent of the world’s business programs – have earned AACSB accreditation, the hallmark of excellence in business education.

The year also saw the approval of new master’s programs in business administration and health administration as well as the launch of an innovative public-private partnership with the Detroit Institute of Music Education that offers students classes in performance, songwriting and music entrepreneurship. The program will bring new talent to an already booming Denver music scene.

MSU Denver prides itself on offering programs that prepare students for good careers while also supporting the high-growth areas of the Colorado economy. The Institute for Advanced Manufacturing Sciences at MSU Denver is a recent development example. The institute will facilitate an undergraduate degree that integrates science, technology, engineering and math disciplines, and will be housed in a new, state-of-the-art Aerospace and Engineering Sciences Building.

While the workforce needs of Colorado’s aerospace and advanced manufacturing industry will be met through this new institute, MSU Denver’s Hospitality, Tourism and Events Program continues to collaborate with the growing sectors of the state’s hospitality industry. A new degree in Event and Meeting Management launched during 2016 and is set to train professionals in a high-demand field.

The Regency Athletic Complex is another way that MSU Denver impacts the community. This past May, the University hosted the NCAA Division II Spring Sports Festival. More than 1,000 student-athletes and their families, representing 76 universities, gathered on campus to compete in softball, tennis, golf and lacrosse. The complex is a boon to the neighborhood as well, providing a walking trail to community members and athletic programs for local children. For its impact on the community, the Regency Athletic Complex at MSU Denver received the prestigious Downtown Denver Award from the Downtown Denver Partnership and a Mayor’s Design Award in 2016.

MSU Denver remains committed to being an inclusive community for students from every background and experience. This year, MSU Denver was recognized as one of 10 Diversity Champion colleges and universities in the nation by INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine. The University was also ranked as the best college for veterans in the Denver metro area by Military Times.

These achievements reflect MSU Denver’s commitment to being an agent for change and transformation, creating boundless possibilities for students, graduates and Colorado.

5 aCademiC reGalia

Academic attire is modeled after monks’ clothing from the Middle Ages, when college faculty and students were members of religious orders. In England, the faculty of many colleges and universities still wears gowns, hoods and caps in the classroom.

In the early 20th century, colleges and universities throughout the world adopted guidelines for the design and colors of academic regalia. An institution may design and register special attire for its administrators and graduates, but it must conform to certain standards. Once registered, the design and color combination may not be duplicated by other institutions.

The bachelor’s gown is most often black and has long sleeves that taper to a point in the back. It is always worn closed.

The gown signifying the master’s degree also is usually black, but may be worn open or closed. It features oblong sleeves that hang below the wrist, tapering to a square cut with a cutaway arc.

Although usually black, the doctoral gown is sometimes seen in colors – often gold, purple, blue or red. The gown may be worn open or closed. The opening of the gown is faced with velvet, and three velvet chevrons run across its bell-shaped sleeves. The velvet facing and chevrons may be black or the color representing the graduate’s field of study.

The hood varies in length and shape according to the degree it represents: the shortest and smallest signifies a bachelor’s degree, and the longest and widest signifies a doctoral degree. The velvet bordering the hood represents the graduate’s field of study.

The satin lining of the hood, each a specific design, represents the college or university at which the individual earned his or her degree.

The Oxford cap, or mortarboard as it is better known, completes the attire. Those holding graduate degrees usually wear black tassels on the Oxford cap, but those holding doctoral degrees may wear tassels of gold thread and may also elect to wear a four-sided or eight-sided velvet tam instead of the Oxford cap. Some universities have designated the Cambridge cap – a large, soft beret – for their administrators and those who have earned a doctoral degree at that institution.

At MSU Denver, bachelor’s candidates wear colored tassels on the Oxford cap to represent the academic department from which they earned their degrees. Master’s candidates wear a hood with the representative color.

In addition to his academic regalia, President Stephen M. Jordan wears the University’s chain of office, a visible symbol of his authority as the institution’s leader.

7 President’s award reCiPient Ariadna Ochoa Magallanes Bachelor of Arts in Modern Languages and Chicana/o Studies, Summa Cum Laude

Double majoring in modern languages and Chicana/o studies. Working as a specialist in the Immigrant Services Program. Volunteering with a NASA and UNAM scientist to translate important environmental research.

Those accomplishments are all in a day’s work for Ariadna Ochoa Magallanes.

Over the course of her time at MSU Denver, she has blazed a path of hard work, resilience and personal transformation. And as she nears the end of her college journey, she continues on the path to helping others realize their own transformative potential.

Ochoa Magallanes immigrated to the United States with her mother and younger sister from Coahuila, Mexico, after witnessing violence in the streets in front of her house. That violence kept the intellectually motivated student out of school for two years before being able to relocate to Denver and continue her goal of attending college.

“Education is very important in my family,” said Ochoa Magallanes. “My mother always says that education is the only thing you have that you can take with you anywhere.”

Currently, as an interim Immigrant Services Program specialist in the Student Academic Success Center, she has found a calling in helping to empower others. She believes that she’s received more from her experience than she gives. “We are constantly learning new tools and skills,” she said. “I’ve developed more self-confidence and public-speaking abilities that are helping me succeed in my classes and future career.” And in uncertain times, she strives to be the bedrock to the foundation of student success; something she hopes to continue into graduate school for higher education administration.

“I know I have a lot of privilege and want to reassure others that education is the greatest tool we have,” she added. “I’m going to do everything in my power to help with that.”

In addition to her studies, Ochoa Magallanes is a research assistant in the Chicano/a Studies Department and served on the committee for the Richard T. Castro Distinguished Visiting Professorship. She was instrumental in bringing UCLA law professor Laura Gomez, Ph.D., to MSU Denver in October. The resulting event was an interactive conversation of the parallel identity experiences faced by individuals in both Southern California and Colorado. “It really became a conversation about how people see themselves,” said Ochoa Magallanes. “That means looking at the labels you have and how others place them on you.”

When asked what she does to recharge, the answer was easy: spend time with family. “My mom has fibromyalgia and I’m her primary caretaker,” she said. “I love spending time with her, watching her have adventures and taking her places.”

Ochoa Magallanes’s mother and younger sister are each other’s best friends and cheerleaders. Her sister Tanairi is also studying at MSU Denver as a human services major.

“I’m happy here,” Ochoa Magallanes said. “MSU Denver is my second home.”

SPRING SEMESPRINGSTER 2016 SEMESTER27 2016 27 FALL SEMESTER 2016 17 Provost’s award reCiPient Levi Appenfelder Bachelor of Science in Scientific Graphics, Summa Cum Laude

Levi Appenfelder lives by his faith.

It can be seen in the way he helps others through tutoring, volunteering for local events, organizations and nursing homes, and in teaching a new converts class at his church.

His serving spirit, however, can also be attributed to the help he received from Shriner’s Hospitals, a network of nonprofit medical facilities.

“Inspiring and teaching others is my passion,” Appenfelder said. “This passion was implanted in me, in part, by the Shriner’s Hospitals.”

Appenfelder knows Shriner’s Hospitals very well. The 25-year-old has cerebral palsy, which was caused by a stroke he had as an infant. His diagnosis left him in need of multiple medical procedures, including surgery on his hands and legs. At age 16, he was flown to their Chicago location more than 20 times in a year for doctor’s appointments after receiving jaw surgery. It was during one of these visits that he found his career path: becoming a medical illustrator.

“It was a spur-of-the-moment inspiration,” Appenfelder said. “The doctor showed me the little room where they made the 3D model of my jaw, and they used that as a model for the surgeons to go off of when they did the surgery.”

Through his medical illustrations, Appenfelder hopes to make a difference in the medical field, just as Shriner’s Hospitals made a difference in his life. In addition to improving his quality of life, the network paid for the entirety of his medical expenses.

Inspired by the network’s generosity, Appenfelder offered to design their 2011 El Jebel Shrine Circus poster and worked as a salesman, game booth operator and greeter for two years.

At MSU Denver, Appenfelder has volunteered for the Access Center and other University events, led study sessions with students, and designed a coloring book for its STEM program – all while maintaining a 4.0 GPA, a national scholarship and membership in the Alpha Delta Pi Disability Honor Society.

“Despite what doctors have said about my disability, I have reached physical standards beyond all expectations,” Appenfelder said. “I owe much to God, family, friends and professors who have molded me.”

Appenfelder is considering grad schools for medical illustration. He plans to continue to help people through his church, and he hopes to one day work with children to help them defy the odds, too.
