REMEMBERING CATHY COOMER(1958-2019)

It is an honor to pay tribute to Cathy Cooomer – a friend, colleague, and educator who stood apart as someone special.

Cathy joined the RSU faculty in 2004 with a dual appointment as a faculty member and as General Manager for RSU Radio, the student-run campus station. Whether in her role as a teacher or as a communications professional, Cathy was a passionate advocate for her students and devoted herself tirelessly to make sure they were prepared with real-world experience. She held leadership roles in Oklahoma Broadcasting Education Association and its annual student awards competition, where her students consistently earned statewide awards. Her colleagues noted that her legacy will be visible through the countless RSU students who left her classroom and developed successful careers in radio, television, or other related fields. Cathy came to RSU after a distinguished broadcast career, including more than a decade as a news producer, reporter, and promotions manager with television stations in Springfield, Missouri, and Pittsburg, Kansas. She taught courses in Radio and Television Broadcasting and served as Director of Broadcasting for Pittsburg State University from 1996 to 2003. Our hearts go out to her family and friends, as well as all at RSU who knew her as a teacher, a colleague, and a friend.

A scholarship fund in Cathy Coomer’s memory has been established at the RSU Foundation. Donations to the scholarship fund are tax-deductible, and checks payable to the RSU Foundation may be mailed to:

In January 2018, Natalie Shirley was selected as the first female President and CEO of the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. She concurrently served as president of Oklahoma State University-Oklahoma City and, from 2015-2018, as Oklahoma Secretary of Education and Workforce Development. Shirley worked with Governor Fallin to implement the Oklahoma Works program, designed to increase educational attainment for Oklahomans to produce a more educated workforce to support and cultivate the state’s economy.

From 2007-2011, she served on Governor Brad Henry’s Cabinet as Oklahoma Secretary of Commerce and Tourism. Shirley was responsible for the Workforce department and was the liaison between the governor, five major state agencies, and more than 30 small agencies, authorities, and institutions. During this time, she also served as Executive Director of the Department of Commerce, the state’s leading economic development agency.

Formerly, Shirley was president of ICI Mutual in Washington, D.C., after serving in various leadership offices in the company. She currently also serves on several boards, where most recently she was appointed by the Governor to the University of Oklahoma’s Board of Regents. An Oklahoma native, she graduated from Oklahoma State University and earned a law degree from the University of Oklahoma. Shirley lives in Oklahoma City and has six children.

PRESIDENTIAL MEDALLION

The Presidential Medallion is the official symbol of the Office of the President at Rogers State University. Traditionally, the medallion is bestowed upon a new President to represent a transfer of the responsibility of office and an obligation to promote and maintain the values and ideals represented by the institution.

The medallion features the official RSU seal, which was designed in 1999 shortly after the Oklahoma Legislature renamed the institution Rogers State University and provided it with a new mission to seek accreditation as a four-year university. The university received accreditation as a baccalaureate degree granting institution in 2000 from the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, and in 2014, for a Master’s in Business Administration.

The official RSU seal features the name of the institution at the top and the university’s credo and guiding principles, Tradition, Innovation and Excellence, on the lower oval. In the middle is a representational drawing of iconic Preparatory Hall, the first building erected on the Claremore campus in 1911, two years after the institution was founded in 1909.

The seal was designed by Kate Northcutt, M.S.

TRADITION OF ACADEMIC REGALIA

The costume of those in the inaugural academic procession has a specific symbolism dating back to at least the 14th century. In 1895, academic institutions in the United States adopted a code of academic regalia, which has been revised from time to time. The regalia of institutions in other countries varies, and there is not a worldwide code, but the basic elements are present in all academic costumes.

GownsThe associate and certificate candidate gown is silver in color and features a traditional design. The bachelor’s gown is black and has a pointed sleeve. The master’s gown has an oblong sleeve open at the wrist (some older gowns may be open near the upper part of the arm.) The doctoral gown has bell-shaped sleeves, full-length velvet panels on the front and three velvet crossbars on each sleeve in black, blue, or the color distinctive to the subject of the owner’s degree. Gowns for the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) are dark blue and gowns for the Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) are light blue.

HoodsThe hood, draped over the shoulders and down the back, indicates the subject to which the degree pertains and the university that conferred the degree. The level of the degree is indicated by the size of the hood. The velvet binding of the hood is of the color designating the subject of the degree. The satin lining of the hood indicates the university conferring the degree.

CapsIn the United States, the mortar board is commonly used. The mortar board is black for those receiving a bachelor’s degree and silver for those receiving an associate degree. The tassel, fastened to the center of the cap, is normally worn in the left front quadrant of the cap after a degree is conferred. Students receiving undergraduate degrees wear red tassels. Students receiving M.B.A. degrees wear light brown tassels. Students receiving degrees from Cameron University wear light blue tassels. Faculty tassels may be black, gold or the color appropriate to the subject of the degree. The tassel for the doctoral cap may be of gold thread.

Honor StolesRogers State University Honor Graduates wear stoles, according to the following criteria:

Student Honor CordsAn Honor Cord is traditionally a token consisting of twisted cords with tassels on either end awarded to members of honor societies and academic programs. Sashes or medallions may be given in place of cords. Unlike hoods and stoles, by tradition more than one cord may be worn at the same time.

CEREMONIAL TRADITIONS

The gonfalon, a flag that hangs from a crosspiece or frame, originated in the medieval republics of Italy as an ensign of the state of office. Gonfalons have been adopted in many universities around the world as college or institutional insignias.

The two navy gonfalons displayed represent the two academic schools of Rogers State University. The RSU gonfalons and university logo were designed by James Randall Riggs, BA ‘04.

The third gonfalon represents the Department of Education at Cameron University. It includes a blue bar at the top of the gonfalon, which is the traditional academic color that represents education, and black and gold at the bottom, which are the colors of Cameron University. The book and lamp symbolize a love for learning and the lifelong quest for knowledge. The Department of Education prides itself on preparing future teachers to be caring, competent and committed educators.

The Cameron gonfalon was designed by Ann Morris.

GONFALONS

[10]

The mace symbolizes the authority of the faculty in academic matters and the practice of shared governance within the university. During the Middle Ages, the mace was an effective weapon in battle. As newer and more powerful arms were developed, its military significance diminished and it was transformed into a symbol of authority. The earliest ceremonial maces were borne by bodyguards of the 12th century English and French kings. By the end of the 16th century, they were used widely by officials of English cities and towns. Today, the use of the ceremonial mace is found in the British Houses of Parliament and it is carried before ecclesiastical dignitaries and in university ceremonies.

The Mace

Carrying the mace has long been a commencement tradition at Rogers State University. Each year, a veteran faculty member bears the mace and leads the commencement processional. This year, Dr. Hugh Foley, Professor of Fine Arts, assumes this honor.

The mace is a six-foot walnut staff featuring the gold dome of Preparatory Hall at the top and the university seal on four sides. Five stripes at its base signify the institution’s various incarnations, including the Oklahoma Military Academy and the present-day university.

The mace was designed by Gary Moeller, Emeritus Professor of Fine Arts, and was crafted by Jerry Emanuel, a Claremore artist.

HISTORY OF RSU

RSU was founded in 1909 - two years after Oklahoma was granted statehood. The institution was officially established as Eastern University Preparatory School in Claremore by the Oklahoma Legislature during its second session. The mission of the school was to prepare the sons and daughters of Native Americans, farmers and ranchers for entry into the colleges and universities of Oklahoma.

During the construction of its first building, Preparatory Hall, from 1909 to 1911, classes were held in the Claremont Building in Claremore. Five students graduated at the end of the institution’s first academic year. During its second academic year (1910-11), 375 students were enrolled. The institution continued to grow rapidly, adding a library in 1914 and receiving accreditation as a secondary school by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools in 1916. Preparatory Hall housed the operations of the institution until it was closed in 1917.

Two years later, the institution was resurrected as the Oklahoma Military Academy in response to the needs of the United States Armed Forces. By 1923, the Oklahoma Military Academy offered secondary education and two years of college to young men from Oklahoma and across the nation.

The Oklahoma Military Academy has an extensive register of graduates who became great leaders, both in military and civilian life. More than 2,500 OMA graduates served in the Armed Forces of the United States during World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. More than 100 graduates gave their lives in service to their country. OMA quickly gained recognition as one of the top military schools in the U.S., and was often referred to as the “West Point of the Southwest.”

In 1971, in response to the growing educational needs of a rapidly developing economy in the Claremore area, the Oklahoma Legislature replaced the Oklahoma Military Academy with the new Claremore Junior College. The mission of the institution was expanded to provide a variety of associate degree programs for area residents.

Claremore Junior College grew from 477 students in 1971 to more than 3,000 in 1982, when the institution was renamed Rogers State College to better represent the areas it served - Rogers County and the surrounding communities.

As Rogers State College, the institution prospered, adding a variety of academic programs, including the state’s only full-power public television station on a college campus in Oklahoma. The institution became a national pioneer in distance education, offering telecourses and independent study options for students.

In 1996, the Oklahoma Legislature approved the merger of Rogers State College and the University Center at Tulsa (UCAT), a consortium of four Oklahoma universities - the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, Northeastern State University and Langston University. The new institution was named Rogers University and continued operation for two years with branches in Claremore and Tulsa.

In 1998, the Oklahoma Legislature separated the institutions, creating a branch of Oklahoma State University in Tulsa, and Rogers State University, a new regional university with a main campus in Claremore.

The Oklahoma Legislature granted permission for Rogers State University to seek accreditation at the baccalaureate level.

The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools formally granted RSU accreditation as a four-year university in August 2000.

RSU celebrated its 100th Anniversary in 2009 with a variety of special events, including guest speakers, a Centennial parade and dedication of the new Centennial Center.

The university operates its main campus in Claremore with additional campuses in Bartlesville and Pryor, along with its nationally recognized online program. RSU has undertaken massive renovations to academic buildings in Claremore, Bartlesville and Pryor, along with improvements to athletic facilities and the construction of new residential housing. RSU enjoys status as the only public four-year, residential university in the Tulsa metropolitan area.

RSU has distinguished itself through its mix of associate, bachelor’s and master’s degree programs that include cutting-edge degrees in emerging fields. Students also have the opportunity to participate in a variety of unique programs, including the Honors Program, President’s Leadership Class, studies-at-large and prestigious internships. In fall 2014, the university expanded its academic offerings to include its first graduate program, a Master of Business Administration.

Today, Rogers State University is widely recognized for its high-quality academic programs, distance learning and high-technology learning environments, all with a personal approach to best serve its students.
