5 Lux Service Award Since 1984
The University of Northern Iowa Lux Service Award is presented by the Office of the Dean of Students annually to undergraduate students who best represent the ideal of service to the university community .
The honor is conferred in the spirit of keeping the light of service to others burning bright at UNI . The name of the award, Lux, is from the university’s official seal that features a burning lamp of knowledge and the Latin word for light .
Congratulations to the 2016 Lux Service Award Recipients:
Paul Andersen is a public administration major from Ankeny . Paul has served as president of the Student Admissions Ambassadors, has held several leadership positions within Sigma Phi Epsilon and was vice president of the Northern Iowa Student Government twice . He has also been a peer mentor and long-time student employee in the Office of Student Financial Aid .
Paul has tried to be a leader who is willing to challenge things and disagree in an amicable way . This style has allowed him the ability to challenge the status quo and make progress with issues on campus .
His lasting legacy will be his work instilling a cultural change within the Greek community, creating a positive impact on sexual assault prevention and awareness among college-aged men . Besides his work with sexual assault education, Paul has been an active member in conversations the last two years related to diversity and inclusion on UNI’s campus .
Hansen Breitling is a philosophy major from Ames . At UNI, Hansen was an active leader in the Ethnic Student Promoters, Black Student Union, Philosophy Club, Dean’s Advisory Committee and the Northern Iowa Student Government .
Before attending college, he thought being a leader was about title, but once here, he realized that being a leader is taking the voices of the group and having those voices heard . A leader is about lifting up others to improve things for a larger purpose and goal . Hansen has taken that positive attitude to his actions this year and has been a voice for students and has helped make change on campus, which include renovations to the Center for Multicultural Education, changes in reporting bias incidents and the creation of a chief diversity officer .
Hansen’s lasting legacy will by the systematic change to improve our campus climate on diversity and inclusion for all students .
Joellen Hatchett is a general studies major from Waterloo . Joellen exudes Panther Pride like no one else on this campus . She can be seen at every sporting event as part of the Panther Pep Crew, as well as taking that spirit on the road to as many athletic events as possible .
Joellen was a part of Connecting Alumni to Students, Cat Crew; she was a Student Admissions Ambassador, a peer mentor for Cornerstone and even a host on KULT Radio . She has also been a resident assistant and served on the summer orientation staff .
Joellen’s lasting legacy is all of the students at UNI she impacted along the way – through her positive approach with her peers, as an RA in the residence halls, in her classes and student organizations, and even on the bus as it travels by .
Her pay-it-forward mentality and willingness to interact with different people across campus and the Cedar Valley have created a lasting impact .

75 The Academic Procession
he procession begins with the entrance of the candidates for degrees . Led by faculty marshals, Tthe candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, both the Teaching Program and the Liberal Arts Program, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Liberal Studies, Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Science enter in groups, representing each of the undergraduate colleges . They are followed by the candidates for the highest degrees .
Students wearing a bronze medallion are those graduating summa cum laude (with highest honors), which represent the top three percent of each college by grade point average; or those graduating students receiving a Purple and Old Gold Award, given to those students who have excelled in scholarship or who have shown conspicuous achievement in particular areas .
The procession continues with representatives of the faculty .
he President’s Party forms the final section of the academic procession . Headed by the Tcommencement marshal, it includes the president; members of the Board of Regents, state of Iowa; administrative officers; the academic deans; and honored guests .
The individuals leading the procession of the graduates, the faculty and the president’s party carry a mace which is a symbol of office . Those individuals are the student body president, the chair of the faculty and the university commencement marshal . Over long tradition, a mace is a symbol of authority and official celebration . The university mace is the largest of the three maces and it embodies the history and dignity of the entire university . The president wears a jeweled “Chain of Office” symbolizing the wearer is the leader of the institution . The silver chain includes links with the names of previous presidents of the institution, as well as previous names of the university .
he academic costumes worn trace their origin to the Middle Ages when long-sleeved hooded T gowns were necessary for warmth in the unheated stone colleges . Over the centuries, much diversity occurred, and to bring some order, in the United States in 1894 an intercollegiate system of academic costume was agreed on, now adhered to by American institutions . According to this code, both the styling and colors of the regalia have significance .
The design of the gown indicates the degree . The bachelor’s is a simple gown with a full sleeve . The master’s gown is much like it except for the long sleeve which hangs loose . The doctoral gown is fuller and more elaborate . It has velvet edging and three velvet stripes on the full sleeve . The color of this velvet may be black or in the color appropriate to the degree .
Hoods, which are worn over the gowns, are similar for all degrees, although differing slightly in length . The candidates for the bachelor’s degrees usually do not wear the hood . The hood has a velvet edging which indicates the area of the degree, and the inside or lining of the hood is satin in the colors of the college or university granting the degree .
A partial list of the degree colors to be found on the edge of the hood or the trimming on the doctoral gown is as follows: Apricot - Nursing Drab - Business Orange - Engineering Blue, dark - Philosophy Green - Medicine Pink - Music Blue, light - Education Green Sage - Physical Education Purple - Law Brown - Fine Arts Lemon - Library Science Scarlet - Theology Citron - Social Science Maize - Agriculture White - Arts and Letters Copper - Economics Maroon - Family Yellow, Golden - Science and Consumer Sciences 76 Service Organizations CATS Graduates wearing purple and black cords are members of Connecting Alumni To Students (CATS), the official student chapter of the UNI Alumni Association.
