EAST TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY | 3 President Dr. Brian Noland East Tennessee State University

Dear graduates,

Today represents a milestone event in your life, for it is the culmination of your hard work and dedication over the past several years. It also represents the beginning of a new journey in your life. Whether that journey leads you back to campus to further your education, or into the workforce to put your skills to the test, it has been enhanced by your experience at ETSU.

Today, I encourage you to take a moment to reflect upon the experiences that brought you to this commencement ceremony. Undoubtedly, your own efforts have helped propel you onto this stage. The efforts and support of your family and loved ones, many of whom are with us today to celebrate your success, also played a key role in making today’s celebration possible. In all of the excitement that is graduation day, please do not forget to tell those individuals “thank you” for all that they have done and continue to do to support your endeavors.

I also encourage you to show your appreciation to the faculty and staff who helped you achieve your degree. We are proud of your accomplishments and look forward to hearing where your footprints lead in the coming years. Be sure to stay connected with ETSU and our National Alumni Association. Additionally, I hope that you can return to campus to take in a performance, attend Homecoming or just walk through our beautiful grounds.

Finally, as you realize this dream of a college degree, I ask that you always share with others the importance of higher education. It is through the power of higher education that we can make the biggest difference in our own lives, our communities, and the world.

Congratulations on this outstanding accomplishment. Godspeed and go Bucs!

Brian Noland

4 | COMMENCEMENT MAY 2019 SPEAKER - 10 AM Executive Director of the Tennessee Higher Education Commission and Mr. Mike Krause Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation

Mike Krause serves as the Executive Director of the Tennessee Higher Education Commission and Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation. In this role, he serves as the state higher education executive officer, responsible for oversight of a $2.1 billion budget and direct supervision of $500 million in student aid.

Prior to assuming this role, he served on the staff of Governor Bill Haslam, acting as the founding Executive Director of the Tennessee Promise and Drive to 55, where he coordinated the launch of the nation’s first free community college program and an array of other programs focused on increasing state higher education attainment.

Previously, Mike served as the Assistant Executive Director at the Tennessee Higher Education Commission and as a research analyst at the Tennessee General Assembly.

One week after graduating high school, Krause entered the United States Army at age 17. He served across the globe for six years on active duty, and an additional two years in the reserve component. Shortly after the 9/11 attacks, he was deployed as part of a Logistics Task Force to Southwest Asia. After returning to the states, he and his unit began immediately preparing for the invasion of Iraq, crossing the border in the early phases of the war. He ultimately completed three combat tours with the 101st Airborne Division and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

An eighth generation Tennessean, Mike earned his bachelor’s degree from Austin Peay State University and Master’s in Public Policy from Vanderbilt University. He is a graduate of Class V of Leadership Tennessee, and is a Woodrow Wilson Higher Education Fellow.

He lives in Franklin, Tennessee with his wife and two young children.

34 | COMMENCEMENT MAY 2019 Academic Regalia

The three academic degrees generally recognized are the bachelor’s, the master’s and the doctor’s. The name of each degree seems to have been determined by medieval university custom. The bachelor’s degree, the baccalaureate, takes its name directly from the medieval practice of “bachelors” wearing a garland of bayberries. The master’s degree was equivalent to a license to teach, and sometimes was followed by the express words Licentia Docendi. The doctor’s degree was originally a title of respect and a recognition of great learning. Today the doctor’s degree indicates advanced study and independent research in a specialized field of learning, whereas honorary degrees are granted for meritorious service and for distinction in public or private endeavor. In the medieval university, students and teachers wore gowns indicating their status and scholastic achievement.

In 1895, an intercollegiate commission drafted a uniform code for the use of academic caps, gowns and hoods in the United States. This code is followed by approximately 95 percent of all colleges and universities. In 1932 and 1935 the American Council on Education reviewed and refined the American academic costume.

Those holding a bachelor’s degree traditionally wear 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, is made either of worsted or silk, and has long closed sleeves with an arc appearing near the bottom and a slit for the arm near the middle of the sleeves. The doctor’s gown, also worn open, is made of silk, faced with a broad strip of velvet, and has three bars of velvet on each sleeve.

A hood may be worn with the gown and is made of the same material. 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, faced with a five-inch strip of velvet. The color of the tassel or the velvet strip on the hood indicates the field of study in which the degree was earned or granted, as for example: Agriculture – Maize; Arts, Letters, Humanities – White; Commerce, Accountancy, Business – Drab; Dentistry – Lilac; Economics – Copper; Education – Light Blue; Engineering – Orange; Fine Arts including Architecture – Brown; Forestry – Russet; Journalism – Crimson; Law – Purple; Library Science – Lemon; Medicine – Green; Music – Pink; Nursing – Apricot; Oratory (Speech) – Silver Gray; Pharmacy – Olive Green; Philosophy – Dark Blue; Physical Education – Sage Green; Physical Therapy – Teal; Public Administration including Foreign Service – Peacock Blue; Public Health – Salmon Pink; Science – Golden Yellow; Social Work – Citron; Theology – Scarlet; Veterinary Science – Gray.

The appropriate cap for all degrees is the familiar “mortarboard.” A tassel, displaying the color signifying the field of specialization, hanging to the left of the face, is appropriate for all degrees. Those holding a doctor’s degree may wear a soft velvet cap of the color indicating their field of study, or with the “mortarboard” may wear a tassel in whole or in part of gold thread.

The Presidential Medallion - The presidential medallion is the traditional symbol of office worn at official functions. The design features a torch symbolizing learning; a wreath, symbol of victory, while the star ruby symbolizes excellence.

The Mace - The East Tennessee State University mace is an organic design in forged silver with an ebony handle. The form gives a circular impression, referring to the medieval concept of a heavy armor-breaking club yet losing its warlike appearance by becoming less solid and a more decorative symbol of the university as it encompasses global thinking. A central staff radiates the thrust of the rhythmical branches of the tree of knowledge; the heavier branches representing the well-established disciplines and the more delicate ones the beginnings and growth of the new.

The Flag - The flag of East Tennessee State University is of simple conception, yet representative of the rich heritage of the area and the aspirations of the university.

38 | COMMENCEMENT MAY 2019 The Star-Spangled Banner

Oh say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, 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

In the shadow of the mountains, In thy halls we formed our friendships, Under skies of blue, Dear old college home; Stands our dear old Alma Mater, And to thee we pledge our hearts, Glorious to view. Wherever we may roam. Sound the chorus, speed it onward; Sound the chorus, speed it onward; Thee we’ll never fail! Thee we’ll never fail! Hail to thee, our Alma Mater— Hail to thee, our Alma Mater— Hail to thee, all hail! Hail to thee, all hail!
