Dr. Brian Noland

President East Tennessee State University Dear Class of 2022, In the blink of an eye, Commencement has arrived. Today represents a milestone moment in your life as you, your faculty, your family, and your friends join together to celebrate the culmination of your hard work and dedication over the past several years. This event also marks the beginning of a new journey in your life – a journey that no matter where it takes you, whether it is into the workforce or continuing your education, will be enhanced by your experiences at ETSU.

On this date, I encourage you to take a moment to reflect upon the journey that led you to the Commencement stage. Your hard work and persistence paved the way for you to achieve this dream. Undoubtedly, your journey also has been enhanced through the support and encouragement of someone close to you: your family members, your classmates, and your loved ones, many of whom are seated in the audience today to celebrate your success. Please remember today to say “thank you” for their ongoing support as you begin this new chapter in your life. I also encourage you to show your gratitude to the faculty and staff who have stood with you throughout this journey. The ETSU community is so proud of your accomplishments, and we cannot wait to see the many things you will accomplish. I hope you will stay engaged with your alma mater and the National Alumni Association. Also, we invite you to return to campus to take in a performance at the Martin Center for the Arts, cheer for the Bucs at an athletics event, attend Homecoming, or simply walk through our beautiful grounds. This place will always be a place you can call home. You have achieved the dream of a college degree. Share that dream with others and talk with them about the importance of higher education. It is through the power of higher education that we can make the greatest difference in the world. Congratulations on this outstanding accomplishment. Godspeed and go Bucs!

Brian Noland

COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER

10 A.M.

Mr. Michael Ainslie

Venture Investor and Philanthropist

Michael Ainslie has been a champion for education for decades. His passion has been the Posse Foundation, which he helped found and served as board chair for 13 years, recently retiring from the board. Posse finds young leaders from public and parochial high schools throughout the country and Puerto Rico and sends them to one of Posse’s 64 elite college and university partners in a cohort of 10 Posse scholars. Posse’s first university partner was Vanderbilt University. Scholars receive a full merit leadership scholarship. Eighty percent of them become president of a student organization and 90 percent of them graduate. Over 10,000 Posse scholars have won over $1.7 billion in scholarships. Posse’s goal is to have them take on leadership roles in the workplace, and they are doing just that. Posse alumni are partners in law firms, university professors, one is a college president, one is the president of an NBA team, and one is CEO and owner of a large multicultural ad agency. Another alum started a charter school. Ainslie had a distinguished business career serving as President and CEO of Sotheby’s from 1984-1994, leading a transformation of the global auction business. Previously, he served as President and CEO of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. While there he helped rewrite the tax law to provide the 25 percent investment tax credit for investing in historic buildings. This incentive radically changed the landscape for preservation. A native of East Tennessee, Ainslie is a 1965 graduate of Vanderbilt University. After graduation he studied abroad on a Corning World Travel Fellowship. He is a 1968 graduate of Harvard Business School. He served on the Vanderbilt University Board of Trust and is now a Trustee Emeritus. He has also served on the boards of the U.S. Tennis Association, the St. Joe Company, Sotheby’s, and Lehman Brothers. After the Lehman bankruptcy, he continued as Chairman of the Lehman Estate for six years, overseeing the disposition of Lehman assets. In 2021, Ainslie became an adjunct professor at Vanderbilt University. He created and now teaches an undergraduate course, Managing in Adversity, utilizing the Harvard Business School case method, assisted by CEOs of 25 organizations. In 2020, Ainslie published his memoir, A Nose for Trouble, Sotheby’s, Lehman Brothers, and My Life of Redefining Adversity. He and his wife Suzanne live in Palm Beach, Florida. He has five children and eight grandchildren living all over the country.

EAST TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY

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 onehalf feet long, faced with a three-inch strip of velvet; the doctor’s hood is four feet long, faced with a fiveinch 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.

COMMENCEMENT MAY 2022

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?
