Sexton completed his pediatric residency at the University of South Alabama in 2010. Earlier, he earned his medical degree from the University of Sint Eustatius in Barbados. At age 4, Sexton’s mother was told he would never walk, talk or even see, and that he needed to be placed in a special school because, at the time, public schools didn’t have resources for his special needs. However, defying those odds and after undergoing 16 surgeries, Sexton ultimately took and passed the test to receive his driver’s license. He also pursued his passion for scuba diving and has climbed the ranks of recreational scuba diving to turn his passion into his career as a hyperbaric physician.

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH ALABAMA COMMENCEMENT 6 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH ALABAMA A BRIEF HISTORY

he University of South Alabama was founded in 1963 without Ta single building to call its own. More than 55 years and quite a few buildings later, USA is a vibrant university that continues to serve as a catalyst for transformational change in the city, the state and the Gulf Coast region. USA’s story began in the early 1960s, when Mobile’s civic leaders saw the need to improve access to higher education in southwest Alabama. Realizing the region had outgrown the small extension program that operated out of a building downtown, they formulated plans for a four-year, degree-granting institution. On May 3, 1963, a bill creating a new, independent university successfully passed the Alabama Legislature, and USA was born. Classes began in June 1964 at a new, $1 million building in west Mobile. Initial enrollment totaled 276. The extent of the pent-up demand for education became obvious when the first fall semester began. Enrollment leaped to 928 — and it continues to grow. Today, USA enrolls more than 15,000 students annually and has awarded more than 85,000 degrees. The first campus building is now named the Frederick Palmer Whiddon Administration Building, after USA’s first president. Whiddon helped establish the University and remained at its helm until retiring in 1998. His successor, longtime faculty member and administrator V. Gordon Moulton, oversaw a new era of growth into the 21st century. Dr. Tony G. Waldrop, selected in 2014 as USA’s third president, continues the USA tradition of visionary leadership focused on discovery, health and learning. As new programs attracted more students, the University’s footprint and facilities expanded. Almost from the moment USA accepted its first students, its leaders began ambitiously working toward establishing a medical school. The College of Medicine charter class began in 1973, and USA’s focus on health education was later complemented by the College of Nursing and the Pat Capps Covey College of Allied Health Professions. Today, USA provides high-quality education in business, the liberal arts, education, engineering, computing, the sciences and health care. It offers more than 100 undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degrees through its colleges and schools. The University campus includes USA Technology & Research Park, an incubator of economic development and technological innovation. On the east side of Mobile Bay, USA’s Baldwin County Campus provides Eastern Shore residents convenient access to educational programs. The University of South Alabama includes a comprehensive health system composed of two hospitals — USA Medical Center and USA Children’s & Women’s Hospital — along with the USA Mitchell Cancer Institute and the USA Physicians Group. This network of advanced health care services has improved the lives of countless residents throughout the region. A charter member of the Sun Belt Conference, USA fields 17 Division I sports teams, including baseball, softball, basketball, soccer, volleyball, tennis, golf, cross country and track and field. The Jaguars football program, established in 2009, played in its first bowl game, the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, in 2014.

SPRING 2018 COMMENCEMENT 7 ACADEMIC REGALIA Academic regalia can be traced back to European universities and ecclesiastical practices of the Middle Ages. As early as 1321, costumes identified the status of the wearer. In addition to signaling differences of degree, the garments had functional purposes, providing necessary warmth in sparsely heated buildings. Regalia differentiate among the three degree levels used by our University; bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees. Common to all three levels is the headwear; the familiar square black mortarboard, although soft velvet tams may be worn by those holding doctorates. The gowns appropriate to the three ranks differ in the shape of the sleeves and in the special trim found on the doctoral gown. The bachelor’s gown, which is unadorned, has wide sleeves that are pointed at the bottom. The master’s gown has curiously designed sleeves, which are elongated at the rear and reach downward to the gown’s bottom hem. The doctoral gown has bell-shaped sleeves and is distinctively trimmed with velvet facings down the front and three velvet bars on each sleeve. These trimmings may be black or the color appropriate to the discipline in which the degree was awarded. The hoods worn by those holding the master’s and doctoral degrees provide the color of the academic procession. These garments are draped over the shoulders and back of the wearer to display the linings, which present the colors of the university awarding the degree. Those holding degrees from the University of South Alabama wear hoods lined with chevrons of red, white, and blue. The hoods also have velvet binding, three inches wide for the master’s degree and five inches for the doctorate, in a color designating the discipline.

The Mace Originally used as a medieval weapon, the mace evolved as a symbol of academic dignity and authority by colleges and universities in the 16th century. Traditionally, the mace is carried as a part of formal academic processions. The University of South Alabama mace, carried by the president of the Faculty Senate acting as chief marshal of commencement ceremonies, was designed by Dr. James Conlon, a professor of art at USA from 1967-1997. In Conlon’s words, his goal was to create a design that captured “an open form which symbolizes the primary functions of the University — that of support and protection for the growth of knowledge and scholarship represented by the golden orb.” The engraved attributes of Responsibility, Virtue, Charity, Dedication, Fidelity, Fortitude, Honor, and Industry surround and uphold the symbol of knowledge.

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH ALABAMA COMMENCEMENT 8 UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGE GONFALONS The students will proceed to their respective places behind gonfalons. Gonfalons are the flags or banners, hung from crosspieces on poles, used since medieval times in the republics of Italy as symbols of state or office. The top portion of each college’s gonfalon is the designated color for each unit; white is the background color for each of the colleges’ symbols, as well as one of the University’s colors. To help identify each college gonfalon, a description of each follows:

University Gonfalon

The University of South Alabama’s colors of red, white and blue predominate with the University’s official seal in the center of the white section.

College Gonfalons

Arts and Sciences: The globe in the College of Arts and Sciences’ gonfalon symbolizes study of human societies, cultures and behaviors. The microscope represents the scientific study of nature. The paintbrush, palette and 1yre connote artistic performance and appreciation of the arts, and the book is symbolic of a life informed by learning.

Education and Professional Studies: The flourishing flame blazoned with red and light blue signifies the burning zeal of the three missions of education - teaching, research and service. The hands hold the spiritual, social and intellectual flame of education.

Engineering: The Earth is the ground stability, a foundation for life and for the structure of humanity and nature. The College of Engineering invites discovery and investigation into the realm of ever-changing worldwide technologies. The bridge is a symbol of engineering design. It is the essence of learning, the container of intellect and the spirit of wisdom that creates destinies.

Medicine: The caduceus is a wing-topped staff intertwined by two snakes and was carried by Hermes, Greek messenger of the gods. In early cultures the intertwined snakes symbolized healing. The caduceus has been a symbol of medicine since the 16th century.

Mitchell College of Business: The Mitchell College of Business uses the symbol of a club which is associated with money, wealth, work and luck. The color purple symbolizes the rank of authority. The gold lozenges represent the flow of order.

Nursing: Three blue stars blazoned with gold symbolize caring, innovation and empowerment. The two shafts of wheat represent nourishment and strength, while the globe illustrates the universal presence of nursing. The burning lamp of Florence Nightingale and the red cross signify the history and origins of nursing.

Pat Capps Covey College of Allied Health Professions: This symbol depicts the many health care professions that make up the health care team. The supporting hands and the red center represent the caring nature and the heart of the various professions represented in the Pat Capps Covey College of Allied Health Professions.

School of Computing: The design of the School of Computing is made up of two symbols appropriate to the School; the flame of knowledge and the globe. The flame of knowledge is derived from three distinct disciplines: Science represented by the blue, Engineering represented by the orange, and Business represented by the tan. The globe symbolizes both the wide reaching effect of the discipline and the diversity of the School’s population.

Graduate School: The columns are indicative of the pursuit of advanced knowledge built on the strong foundation of earlier educational attainments. The earth represents the wide range of studies pursued in graduate studies and their broad applications for the betterment of the world. The oak spray represents strength and endurance in pursuit of goals.
