Carolina Priester Master of Science in Nursing Degree Dissertation Title: Changes in White Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function in Representative Orders of Fishes
Master of Fine Arts Degree
This ceremony includes persons who expect to complete all their requirements at the end of fall 2012 semester. Therefore, this listing of degree candidates remains tentative for fall graduates. The diploma of the university, signed by its proper officers, remains the official testimony to the possession of a degree.
27 The University Seal
he seal of the University of North Carolina Wilmington has evolved over the years. Originally, there were no pine boughs on the seal. A compass, square, quill and triangle represented Wilmington College. Today’s seal retains the triangle as a reference to our roots, adds the Tpine boughs for the longleaf pine, indigenous to North Carolina, and the scroll for a diploma-issuing university. The UNCW Seahawk, our mascot, appears at the top of the pine boughs, and 1947, the date of the establishment of Wilmington College, appears at the bottom. UNC Wilmington’s unique motto, Discere Aude, was created by Dr. William Madison Randall, the next-to-the-last president of Wilmington College. Translated from the Latin, Discere Aude means “Dare to learn.”
The University Mace
he UNCW mace, carried by the chief faculty marshal at commencement, incorporates ele- ments and materials important to the history of our university and region. The boss, or top of the mace, represents the flame of learning. The flame embodies humankind’s desire and Tquest for truth and timeless pursuit of knowledge.
Below the boss are four official seals important to the university’s history. They represent New Hanover County, Wilmington College, the University of North Carolina system and the University of North Carolina Wilmington. Four bands on the shaft symbolize UNCW’s College of Arts and Sciences, Col- lege of Health and Human Services, the Cameron School of Business, and Watson College of Education.
The terminus, or end piece, consists of a longleaf pinecone that evokes the longleaf pine forests com- mon to the landscape of Southeastern North Carolina. The longleaf pine is also the state tree.
The mace was designed by Jeff Morvil, a Wilmington artist, and created by Marvin Jensen, a sculptor from Penland, N.C.
28 The University
t the University of North Carolina Wilmington, passionate and engaged teaching, learning and research are paramount. UNCW is an active learning community that uniquely combines a small-college commitment to excellence in undergraduate teaching with opportunities for Astudent involvement in significant faculty scholarship expected of a major national research university.
As the University of North Carolina Wilmington’s prestige has grown in recent years, so has its popula- tion, which now exceeds 13,700 students and nearly 2,000 full-time faculty and staff.
For 15 consecutive years, UNC Wilmington has been ranked among the top 10 public master’s universi- ties in the South, according to U.S. News and World Report’s “America’s Best Colleges” guidebook. UNCW is ranked fifth in the 2013 edition and sixth among “up-and-coming” master’s universities in the South. The university also received the “Best in the Southeast” designation for 2013 by The Princeton Review and was included in the 2013 edition of the Fiske Guide to Colleges.
Established as Wilmington College in 1947, the institution was granted community college status in 1957, achieved four-year status in 1963, and joined the state university system in 1969. The first graduate programs were authorized in 1977. In 1985, the UNC Board of Governors elevated UNC Wilmington to a Comprehensive Level I university. The university’s academic units, the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Health and Human Services, the Cameron School of Business, the Watson College of Education and the Graduate School, offer bachelor’s degrees in 52 majors and 40 graduate degree programs, including two terminal degrees, an Ed.D. in educational leadership and a Ph.D. in marine biology, one of only three such doctoral marine biology programs offered on the East Coast.
The university has taken a leadership role in the long-term economic, environmental, educational, social and cultural health of the region. It has a strong commitment to adult learners and offers short, non-credit university courses, seminars, and lectures, travel excursions and other educational oppor- tunities for lifelong learners.
The campus has changed dramatically in the last decade with the construction and/or renovation of more than 40 buildings for academics, housing, athletics and campus life. A teaching laboratory building for the psychology and environmental studies departments opened in September, and expansion of the student recreation center and a marine biotechnology building at the Center for Marine Science is underway.
UNCW fields 19 intercollegiate teams under the NCAA Division I umbrella and competes in the Colo- nial Athletic Association. UNCW’s athletes excel not only on the playing field, but in the classroom as well. The four-year class averages and graduation rates of the university’s student-athletes rank among the highest for NCAA Division I public universities in North Carolina.

Academic Regalia
he academic regalia usually recognize three different academic degrees: the bachelor, the master and the doctorate degree. The name of each degree was derived by medieval university custom. The bachelor’s degree, or baccalaureate degree, takes its name from Tthe medieval practice of “bachelors,” who wore a garland of bayberries to distinguish their status. The master’s degree was equivalent to a license to teach, often times followed by the express words “Licentia Docendi.” The doctor’s degree, as earned by study, was true to the Doctor of Philosophy degree, indicating advanced study and independent research in a specialized field of learning. Hon- orary degrees are granted for meritorious service and for distinction in public or private endeavor.
In the medieval university, students and teachers wore gowns that indicated their status and scholastic achievement. Those holding a bachelor’s degree wore a gown of worsted material, fastened at the top and distinguished by long pointed sleeves hanging nearly to the knees. The master’s gown, worn open, has long closed sleeves with an arc of a circle appearing near the bottom of a slit for the arm near the middle of each sleeve. The doctorate gown, also worn open, is faced with a broad strip of velvet and has three bars of velvet on each sleeve.
A hood may be worn with the gown. The bachelor’s hood is three feet long, with a two-inch strip of velvet. The master’s hood is three and one-half feet long, faced with a three-inch strip of velvet. The doctor’s hood is four feet long and faced with a five-inch strip of velvet. The color of the tassel or velvet strip on the hood indicates the field of study in which the degree was earned or granted. For example, degrees in the Arts are distinguished by white; Sciences, yellow; Education, light blue; Nursing, apricot; Business, drab – of a light brown or khaki color. Each hood is also lined in silk with the colors of the institution which granted the degree. UNCW’s hood is lined with green and gold.
The appropriate cap for all degrees is the familiar black “mortarboard.” A black tassel, or one expressing the colors signifying the graduate’s field of specialization, hangs to the left of the face, and is appropriate for all degrees. Those holding a doctor’s degree may also wear a soft velvet cap of the color indicating their field of study or, if wearing the mortarboard with a tassel, a tassel in whole or in part of golden thread. 30 Graduation Pledge
“I pledge to explore and take into account the social and environmental consequences of any job I consider and will try to improve these aspects of any organization for which I work.”
UNCW is a member of the Graduation Pledge Alliance, a national movement that encourages graduates to take an active role in creating a responsible citizenry and better world. Students who have voluntarily taken this pledge are wearing green ribbons on their graduation gowns today.
