Commencement Address

JUDITH ZAFFIRINI

Friday, August 8, 2008 2:00 p.m.

Senator Judith Zaffirini (D-Laredo) represents the 21st Senatorial District. The second highest-ranking Texas state senator, she also is the highest-ranking woman and Hispanic senator and the highest-ranking senator for Bexar County and the border region. In 2004 she was re-elected with 79 percent of the district-wide vote, her sixth landslide victory in which she carried all counties in the large and diverse district—something no one else ever has accomplished.

In 2007 Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst appointed Senator Zaffirini Chair of the Senate Higher Education Subcommittee, Vice Chair of the Senate Finance Committee, and in 2008 he appointed her to the newly created Chair of Finance Higher Education Subcommittee. A member of the Senate’s Education, Health and Human Services, and Administration Committees, Senator Zaffirini is the first Hispanic woman senator in Texas and to serve as President Pro Tempore of the Texas Senate and as Governor for a Day. She has served three consecutive terms as Chair of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, seven terms on the Appropriations Conference Committee, eight terms on the Senate Committee on Finance, and ten terms on the Senate Committee on Education.

Senator Zaffirini's legendary work ethic is reflected in her 100 percent perfect attendance in the Texas Senate since 1987, except for breaking quorum deliberately to prevent an untimely redistricting that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled (2006) violated the Voting Rights Act and disenfranchised voters in SD 21. Continuing her unique career-long 100 percent voting record since 1987, Senator Zaffirini cast her 38,530th consecutive vote in 2007. She has sponsored and passed 581 bills and 51 substantive resolutions and co-sponsored and passed another 278 bills. Her legislative priorities include improving public education, higher education and health and human services.

Senator Zaffirini has received almost 600 awards and honors for her legislative, public service, and professional work, including 100 in communications. Her 2008 awards include the "Elected Official of the Year" award from the Three Rivers Chamber of Commerce for her support during the 80th Legislative Session; "The Best of the Texas Senate" award from the Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas (CLEAT) for her support of the men and women of Texas law enforcement; and eight awards from the Press Women of Texas Association. She was named "Long Term Care Champion" from the Texas Health Care Association and "Early Care and Education Champion" from the Texas Licensed Health Care Association for her continued support in both organizations. She was honored as the first female Texas state senator from Laredo with the "Laredo's Firsts" Award from the Laredo First United Methodist Church. Additionally, Senator Zaffirini received two "Best in Texas Merit Awards" from the Texas Public Relations Association and was named La Señora Internacional by the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) for her outstanding public service career and leadership in establishing legislation that benefits young children's health and early education.

Dr. Zaffirini is an award-winning communication specialist with 13 years of teaching experience, including at the college and university levels. Through her business, Zaffirini Communications, she provides professional communication services, including consulting, workshops and seminars, one-on-one coaching, keynote addresses, and writing. A distinguished communicator, educator, and leader, she holds B.S., M.A., and PhD degrees from The University of Texas at Austin, each with a 3.9 grade-point average.

Judith and Carlos Zaffirini have been married for 43 years and have a 26-year-old son, Carlos Jr., a graduate of the UT McCombs School of Business and the UT School of Law. ~ 4 ~

COMMENCEMENT REGALIA

The gowns, caps, and hoods worn at university functions date back to the early days of the oldest universities in the Middle Ages. Monks and students wore them to keep warm in the damp and drafty 12th century halls of learning. This traditional academic dress had been gradually revised to the modern form that you see today.

All gowns have a semi-stiff yoke, long pleated front, and intricate shirring across the shoulders and back. The bachelor’s gown is worn closed, reaches about 8 to 10 inches from the floor and has long sleeves from which the arms extend at the wrist. The master’s gown may be worn open or closed and has long, pointed sleeves closed at the end, the forearm coming through a slit near the elbow, with the flowing sleeve extending down the thigh. The doctor’s gown may also be worn either open or closed but is distinguished by broad velvet panels down the front and by three velvet bars on the full bell-shaped sleeves. This velvet trimming may be either black or the color distinctive of the field of learning.

The black cap with maroon and gold tassel is worn by the holders of bachelor’s and master’s degrees; the black velvet tam with gold tassel is worn by holders of doctoral degrees.

The hood (not usually worn by the holders of the bachelor’s degree) is a black shell, silk-lined in the color or colors of the institution conferring the degree. The colors of Texas State University-San Marcos are shown by a maroon lining crossed with a gold chevron. The velvet border of the hood is the color signifying the field of learning in which the degree was earned and not in the department in which the major was completed. Thus, a degree conferred as master of education with a major in physical education requires the light blue of education rather than the sage of physical education. Similarly, the ―doctor of philosophy‖ degree requires the royal of philosophy, not the color of the department in which the major of study was completed.

Colors signifying various fields of study that you may see today, include:

Agriculture ...... Maize Music ...... Pink Architecture ...... Blue Lilac Nursing ...... Apricot Arts, Letters, Humanities ...... White Oratory (Speech)...... Silver Grey Commerce, Accountancy, Business ...... Drab Pharmacy ...... Olive Dentistry ...... Lilac Philosophy ...... Royal Economics ...... Copper Physical Education ...... Sage Education ...... Light Blue Physical Therapy ...... Teal Engineering ...... Orange Public Administration, Foreign Service ...... Peacock Fine Arts ...... Brown Public Health ...... Salmon Pink Forestry ...... Russet Science ...... Gold Journalism ...... Crimson Social Work ...... Citron Law ...... Purple Theology ...... Red Library Science ...... Lemon Veterinary Science ...... Gray Medicine ...... Green

THE CEREMONIAL MACE

The use of a mace during university graduation ceremonies combines symbolic communication with the principle of vested authority at the most traditional and sacred of academic celebrations. The Texas State University mace is made of bronze and walnut and displays the university seal in maroon and gold relief. Beneath the seal is a metal base inscribed with the words AUCTORITAS, GRAVITAS, HUMANITAS, and VERITAS. These words come down to us from antiquity and represent our shared academic values:

Auctoritas: The sense of one’s standing gained through experience, industriousness, and service to others.

Gravitas: A sense of dignity, seriousness, and duty.

Humanitas: An appreciation for refinement, civilization, and learning.

Veritas: Truthfulness.

The mace adds meaning and dignity to the commencement ritual. It reminds both participants and spectators that education is one of the most cherished attributes of a free and democratic society.
