4 HISTORICAL HERITAGE For the last 107 years, the University of Memphis has been a catalyst for progress in the city, the state of Tennessee and the surrounding Mid-South region . As a doctoral degree-granting metropolitan research university, we are committed to excellence at all levels: undergraduate, graduate and professional . The University of Memphis’ roots date back to 1912 when it began as West Tennessee State Normal School and its main purpose was to educate public school teachers . While our name has changed several times throughout the years, the University has continued to be guided by the principles of academic integrity, sound management and equal opportunity . In 1968, it saw its first doctoral graduate, and since its doors first opened has conferred more than 160,000 degrees . The main campus lies in the heart of a widespread metropolis and combines the convenience of a large city with the atmosphere of a residential neighborhood . Additionally, the University consists of several satellite campuses, including Collierville, Dyersburg, Millington and Jackson, Tenn . In 2011, the University of Memphis obtained the Lambuth University campus and now offers four-year degrees at what is now the University of Memphis Lambuth . The University of Memphis awards more than 4,000 degrees annually . Divisions of the study include the College of Arts & Sciences, Fogelman College of Business & Economics, the College of Communication and Fine Arts, the College of Education, Herff College of Engineering, Kemmons Wilson School of Hospitality and Resort Management, Loewenberg College of Nursing, University College, Graduate School, Cecil C . Humphreys School of Law, the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders, School of Public Health and School of Health Studies . The University offers 17 bachelor’s degrees in more than 50 majors and 70 concentrations, master’s degrees in more than 55 subjects, doctoral degrees in 23 disciplines, a specialist’s degree in education, the Juris Doctor and many online degree programs . Reflecting on its commitment to the highest levels of excellence in teaching and national prominence in research, the University of Memphis has five Centers of Excellence and 26 Chairs of Excellence . Its full-time faculty number more than 940 . Our wireless campus educates more than 20,000 students each year . Our faculty have won national awards ranging from Emmys and Grammys to the prestigious Peabody Award . In later years, the campus has seen recent changes and additions including the opening of a newly designed University Center, opening of the FedEx Institute of Technology, the Kemmons Wilson School of Hospitality and Resort Management, the John Wilder Student Services Tower and the Michael D . Rose Theatre Lecture Hall . The Cecil C . Humphreys School of Law is housed in the historic U .S . Customs House and Post Office in downtown Memphis . While instruction, service and research are our primary emphases, the University also commits its resources to the social, cultural and economic welfare of the region through partnerships with many public and private organizations . As we continue to move forward, the University of Memphis is poised to enhance its national and international reputation as one of America’s great metropolitan research universities .

STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION The Student Government Association is the voice of students at the University of Memphis . The SGA is comprised of three branches of government: executive, judicial (Student Court) and legislative (Senate) . Elections are held in April . The SGA funds travel for individual students and organizations, including trips to conferences relating to the student’s field of academic interest and leadership conferences . It sponsors Frosh Camp to help incoming first-time freshmen establish friendships, learn about what is offered on campus, begin the adjustment to college life, and have a successful first year . The SGA also sponsors the Mr . and Ms . U of M contest during football Homecoming each fall . Student senators present resolutions as bills to the Student Senate for benefit of the general student body .

5 ACADEMIC DRESS The following information is to help our visitors identify the costumes seen in the commencement procession: Academic dress evolved from religious habit worn by faculty in the ancient universities who were members of religious orders . For centuries these gowns distinguished students from their fellow citizens; sometimes this distinction in dress symbolized unfortunate controversies between “town and gown .” The European habit of using academic robes came to this country in the eighteenth century with the founding of what is now Columbia University . In 1895, American universities and colleges standardized their styles of academic costumes, and this system, with occasional modifications, is still in force . Today, the various colors, trimmings, and patterns of gown, hood, and cap are all traditional and symbolize both the degree and field of learning . GOWNS: American academic gowns are usually of black material, and their pattern varies with the degree held . The bachelor gowns are relatively simple in design with a closed front and long, pointed, open sleeves . Master’s gowns have an open front with long, closed sleeves, the arms extending through a slit at the elbow, giving the appearance of short sleeves . Doctoral gowns are the most elaborate with velvet panels down the open front and three velvet bars on the bell-shaped sleeves . HOODS: The hoods, differing in length for the three degrees (bachelor’s, master’s, and doctor’s), are lined with the colors of the institution that granted the degree . Hoods are also trimmed with the color that heralds the major field of learning . CAPS: A square mortarboard is the approved headgear . The tassel, fastened to the middle point of the top of the cap, is black or the color appropriate to the subject; it may be gold if the holder has a doctor’s degree . The University of Memphis has adopted the practice of having candidates for the bachelor degree wear the tassels on the right front side before degrees are conferred and shift them to the left at the moment when the degrees are awarded to them . Following is a list of the hood and tassel colors that represent several categories of learning:

Arts, Letters, Humanities...... White Health Studies...... Sage Architecture...... Violet Journalism...... Crimson Audiology...... Forest Green Law ...... Purple Speech Pathology...... Royal Blue Music...... Pink City & Regional Planning ...... Scarlet Red Nursing ...... Apricot Accountancy, Business ...... Sapphire Blue Philosophy...... White Communication Arts ...... Silver Gray Physical Education ...... Light Blue Economics...... Copper Public Administration...... Peacock Blue Education...... Light Blue Public Health...... Salmon Engineering...... Orange Science ...... Golden Yellow Fine Arts...... Brown Social Work...... Citron Health Administration...... Green Sports Commerce...... Nile Green

All hoods are edged with the above colors . These same colors may be used for the facing and sleeve bars of doctoral gowns and tassels on bachelors’ and masters’ caps . The lining of the hood indicates the university granting the degree—for The University of Memphis, blue and gray . Among other institutional colors represented at this commencement are those for Arkansas, red and white; Chicago, maroon; Columbia, light blue and white chevron; Duke, royal blue with white chevron; Emory, navy blue with gold chevron; Harvard, crimson; Illinois, navy blue with two orange chevrons; University of Iowa, old gold; Kansas, navy blue with cardinal chevron; Northwestern, purple with gold chevrons; Ohio State, scarlet with silver gray chevron; Rice, silver above blue; Texas, white above orange; Vanderbilt, black and gold; Virginia Tech, orange and maroon; Wisconsin, bright red; Yale, royal blue .

6 UNDERGRADUATE CANDIDATES FOR DEGREES GRADUATION WITH DISTINCTION Based on a grading system of “A” as 4 .0, three designations of graduation honors are recognized .*

Summa cum laude, with Highest Distinction, 3.80 - 4.00: gold cord Magna cum laude, with High Distinction, 3.50 - 3.79: crimson cord Cum laude, with Distinction, 3.25 - 3.49: white cord

GRADUATION WITH HONORS Students may earn Honors distinction by meeting requirements of the campus-wide University Honors Program and/or fulfilling requirements for departmental honors programs . These requirements involve a combination of special honors coursework, independent study, and usually an honors thesis or project . Students who successfully complete University Honors Program requirements are awarded their degrees with honors (e .g ., University Honors or University Honors with Thesis) . Students completing departmental honors programs are awarded their degree with honors in their area of concentration (e .g ., With Honors in English) .

*Note: The commencement program is a roster of candidates, not an official list of graduates . Appropriate degrees and honors will be awarded to candidates who successfully complete all requirements by established deadlines . The posting of the earned degree on the official university transcript is the institution’s affirmation of possession of the degree .

*Note: Because of time limitations imposed in preparing this program for commencement, listing for graduation with distinction was based on a minimum of forty-two (42) semester hours at the University of Memphis and the grade point average as of the term prior to the final semester .

NATIONAL ANTHEM

Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars; through the perilous fight O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there, Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

ALMA MATER

Stand Firm, O Alma Mater, Through all the years to come; In days of youth and beauty Thy halls have been our home . In time of preparation Great lessons didst thou teach Till now, O Alma Mater, The stars we’ll strive to reach .
