RECESSIONAL "Pomp and Circumstance March No. 4" E. Elgar

For the safety and convenience of our guests and out of respect for our graduates, we ask that members of the audience refrain from leaving their seats, congregating near the stage or exiting prior to the close of our ceremonies. A professional photographer will record graduates as they cross the stage. Photos are available from the vendors. Thank you for your cooperation. ACADEMIC REGALIA Identification of the hood and robe as academic apparel is believed to have originated at the English universities of Oxford and Cambridge during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The hoods are a carry-over from the times when monks, who operated these universities, wore them to protect their shaved heads in winter. The robe is an adaptation of the shoulder cape also worn by these same monks while collecting alms. Use of the academic robe came to the United States in 1754 with the founding of what is now Columbia University. In 1895, a commission of University officials adopted a universal code of design and color for the academic garb. This code has undergone several revisions in subsequent years. Styling of the robes varies for the bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees with the width of sleeve borders and length of the hood increasing with each advanced degree. Hoods are normally not used for bachelor's degrees today. Instead, the tassel colors are used to indicate the degree program. All doctoral degree recipients are indicated by a gold tassel.

UNIVERSITY HONORS PROGRAM The University Honors Program is a University-wide program providing maximum educational opportunities for students of high ability through special multidisciplinary seminars and participation in an academic level not generally possible in usual curricular offerings. The program is an outgrowth of the Arts and Sciences Honors program and was initiated in 1978. It is governed through the office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and administered through the Honors Coordinator. UNO colleges which implement honors programs include Arts and Sciences; Business Administration; Education; Public Affairs and Community Service; Information Science and Technology; and Communication, Fine Arts and Media. As part of their Honors Program requirements, students undertake a research project that results in a Senior Honors Thesis. Students and their theses topics are listed at the end of the list of graduates. Students who have been designated in this booklet as Honors Program students have fulfilled the academic requirements of this program. Honors Program graduates wear blue and scarlet Honors cords. MEDALLION COLORS Students receiving their baccalaureate degree with honors will be presented medallions in the colors designated. Summa Cum Laude Red/White Magna Cum Laude White Cum Laude Red

JUSTIN PTACNIK Justin Ptacnik, a Blair, Neb., native, is graduating summa cum laude today with a bachelor of science degree in management information systems. The title of his commencement address is "A True College Experience." An active leader on campus, Ptacnik has been a member of numerous organizations, including serving as chapter president of Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity, as well as the group's international vice president, and organized the "Just Can It!" food drive. He also was the information science and technology student senator for three years and the two-year president of the Greek honor society Order of Omega. Ptacnik was involved with the Emerging Leaders Program, Greek Endeavor and Omicron Delta Kappa, and served on the College of Information Science and Technology Dean Search Committee - an opportunity he is proud to have experienced. Through the search committee process, Ptacnik said he was able to meet and interact with many accomplished and interesting individuals, and that it was satisfying to have a small role in determining the future of the college. Among his many honors are MIS major honoree, the Intra-Fraternity Council Highest G.P.A. Award, Gary A. Salquist Pi Kappa Alpha Leadership Award, Pi Kappa Alpha Chairman of the Year Award and Greek Week Essay Award. In his spare time, Ptacnik enjoys spending time outdoors and exercising. Last summer, he was selected, from an international candidate pool, to participate in a weeklong survival course in the Utah desert. The course taught him survival techniques like making fire from sticks and how to overcome sleep and food deprivation. Following graduation, he will begin working in the Management Trainee Program at First National Bank. Ptacnik plans to pursue an M.B.A. in the near future and one day hopes to engage in entrepreneurial activities. ALUMNI ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
