Commencement Mission StatementCommencement at Washington State University represents

the culmination of a student’s academic achievement. It is a time for celebration and reflection for students, families, faculty, and staff. It brings together the campus community to share the joy of the accomplished goals of our students.

The commencement ceremony at Washington State University serves a dual purpose: to mark a point of achievement, thus completing a chapter in the lives of students and those who support them; and to encourage continued pursuit of learning, personal fulfillment and engagement with their local and worldwide communities.

RECESSIONAL* *Audience please stand.


This community built Washington State University Tri-Cities. Today, we proudly send off the Class of 2015 with high hopes that these graduates will, in turn, use their newly proven knowledge and collegial spirit to make a difference in our region.

It was on May 10, 1989, that the state Legislature formally established WSU Tri-Cities as one of four campuses that make up the Washington State University system. Along with WSU Vancouver and WSU Spokane, WSU Tri-Cities is celebrating its 25th anniversary of providing access to higher education and enhancing economic development as part of a land-grant, comprehensive research university.

During planning discussions in the mid-1980s, community advocates ensured the transformation of what was then the Tri-Cities University Center, a consortium of five universities in a one-building campus. With a foundation of 43 years of graduate programs for Hanford engineers, WSU Tri-Cities immediately added junior- and senior-level courses and a mixture of graduate degrees in academic areas from business to the liberal arts.

Local business and community leaders rallied again about 10 years ago, requesting that the state Legislature increase higher education opportunities in our area. In fall 2007, WSU Tri-Cities began offering freshman and sophomore courses to become a full four-year institution. An entrepreneurial spirit and innovative approach allow our urban campus to provide the type of student experiences usually found at private colleges, such as connections with doctoral teaching scholars and opportunities to lead.

Amazing things are accomplished when community partners and WSU Tri-Cities come together, turning our collective vision toward student success and the greater needs of the region. Now, as we complete our first quarter-century, WSU Tri-Cities invites you to join in our commitment to dynamic student engagement, dynamic research experience and dynamic community engagement.

Dr. Michael Mays was named vice chancellor for Academic Affairs in April 2014. He joined WSU Tri-Cities in August 2012 as the assistant vice chancellor for the College of Arts and Sciences. He served at the University of Southern Mississippi from 1993 to 2012 as a professor of English and an academic leader.

Dr. Mays earned his Ph.D. in English from the University of Washington. His research and teaching interests include modern and contemporary Irish and English literature. His books include Nation States: The Cultures of Irish Nationalism, World War I and the Cultures of Modernity, and the textbook Global Crossroads: A World Literature Reader.

Beatriz Schweitzer is the Community Outreach Director for Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc., a multinational company headquartered in Pullman, Washington. In this role, she is responsible for developing and promoting relationships for SEL and the communities it serves. Before residing in Pullman, Schweitzer set and held a number of sales records for SEL Mexico.

Achieving record sales has been an ongoing passion for Schweitzer. While honing her skills at a small Mexican company, she played a pivotal role in transforming the company into a nationwide sales leader. As a regional sales manager for a Mexican subsidiary of a multinational company, she was the first manager to meet the company’s regional sales goal.

Ms. Schweitzer has always taken an interest in contributing to her community. After marrying Edmund O. Schweitzer, III, president and founder of SEL, she became active in various organizations on the Palouse, such as United Way of Pullman, Palouse Care Network, Washington Idaho Symphony and the Girl Scouts. She enjoys traveling the world, but feels incredibly happy and fortunate to call Pullman home.

Hans Vogel is the directorate operations manager within the Neutron Sciences Directorate at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In this position, he leads the implementation and ensures the correct operation of management systems, operations, safety, compliance and performance assessments across the entire directorate.

He is responsible for the reviews and assessments of the impacts of various proposed laboratory initiatives on the ability to conduct safe, effective and efficient research and operations for approximately 750 persons, and $247 million of business volume within the directorate.

The University Mace, a traditional symbol of authority, will lead the faculty processional today. The mace is carried by Tim Baker.

The WSU Tri-Cities Mace was designed and crafted by David Fassler of the WSU Tri-Cities Integrated Academic Technologies department. The 28-inch long mace was carved from a walnut tree that had grown on his property in Pasco. Walnut was chosen to represent the strength and stability our campus gets from the greater Tri-Cities community. On the head of the mace, there are gold and silver medallions on each of the five sides: one engraved with the WSU seal, one engraved with a WSU Tri-Cities seal and three others are engraved with the six colleges on the WSU Tri-Cities campus.

G O N F A L O N S

Relatively new to the pageantry of commencement is the use of colorful banners, called gonfalons, which represent the university’s colleges. Gonfalons have been used since medieval times as symbols of state. They originated in the republics of Italy. Each banner displays colors traditionally associated with its academic discipline. The gonfalons lead the processional and each is carried by a student selected for the honor by their college.

The academic regalia worn in the commencement ceremony has a rich history based on long-standing tradition and historic significance.

Current academic dress is the result of an evolution of the robes worn by medieval students who were usually clerics in the church’s schools and monasteries. Over the centuries, British and Commonwealth universities have retained the earlier custom where holders of doctoral degrees wear scarlet gowns and round bonnets. In the United States, a standard code of more subdued dress prevails, with academic attire composed of a cap, gown and hood.

CAPS AND GOWNS Gowns for bachelor’s and master’s degrees are always black with no trim. Baccalaureate gowns have straight sleeves, while master’s gowns have long, pointed sleeves with the forearm seen through a slit at the elbow of the sleeves. Distinctive features of the doctoral gown in the United States are velvet facings, three horizontal, velvet bars adorn each bell-shaped sleeve. Both the gown and trim are usually black. The tassel on the cap indicates, by color, the college or school conferring the degree. The most common cap worn at graduation ceremonies in the United States is the mortarboard, named for its flat top, which has a black tassel fastened to the cap’s middle point and worn on the right. After receiving a degree, the graduate moves the tassel from right to left.

HOODS Candidates for advanced degrees wear the academic hood, a traditional garment signifying high scholarly achievement. The colors evidenced on the section of the hood situated around the neck represent the wearer’s major academic discipline. The section that hangs across the back and between the shoulders is lined with the official color, or colors, of the college or school conferring the degree. The doctoral hood hangs farther down the back than the master’s hood.
