Recipient of Honorary Degree Carol Cartwright, Ph.D.
Carol Cartwright is a highly respected voice in higher education. Her 45-year career has been distinguished by innovative teaching, pioneering research and national leadership. Following her retirement from the presidency of Bowling Green State University in 2011, Cartwright joined the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges as a senior consultant. In this role, she works with governing and foundation boards of higher education institutions to develop and implement best practices in governance, fundraising, and board and presidential assessment.
President, Kent State University 1991-2006 President, Bowling Green State University 2008-2011 Senior Consultant, Association of Governing Boards 2011-present
Prior to her time as president of BGSU, Cartwright served as the president of Kent State University for 15 years. She was the first female president of a state college or university in Ohio, with an extensive list of achievements. They include the implementation of new colleges and academic programs in a wide range of high-demand fields, introduction of pioneering technologies to enhance learning, increases in enrollment, an extensive construction and renovation program including the complete renovation of historic campus buildings, and the successful completion of Kent State’s first major fundraising campaign. Cartwright has also served as vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of California, Davis, and dean for undergraduate programs and vice provost of The Pennsylvania State University. She served as a member of the Penn State faculty from 1967 to 1988, where she led a variety of research projects, and authored numerous books, professional publications and technical reports. Throughout her career, Cartwright has held prominent leadership roles in higher education’s most influential national organizations, chairing the board of directors of the American Association for Higher Education and serving on the boards of directors of the American Council on Education, the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges, and the Association of American of Colleges and Universities. She chaired the National Collegiate Athletic Association Executive Committee and served as a member of the NCAA board of directors. She also served as a presidential appointee on the board of trustees of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and as a founding board member of the National First Ladies’ Library. In November 2012, Cartwright completed an eight-year term on the board of directors for National Public Radio, serving as vice chair during her last two years. She is co-chair of the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, serves on the board of directors for the Collegiate Women Sports Awards, and is vice chair of the NCAA Committee on Infractions. In June 2013, she was elected as a trustee of Heidelberg University. The scope of her contributions to higher education led to Cartwright’s induction in the Ohio Women’s Hall of Fame in her first year of eligibility. She has received distinguished alumni awards from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, where she earned her bachelor’s degree, and the University of Pittsburgh, where she earned master’s and doctoral degrees. Other honors include the Clairol Mentor Award in Education, Northeast Ohio ATHENA Award, March of Dimes Franklin Delano Roosevelt Humanitarian Award for Excellence and the ACE Mentor of the Year Award. She received an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from Heidelberg University in 2012. Upon Cartwright’s retirement from both Kent State and Bowling Green, she was named President Emeritus.

Student Speaker Jason Caruso Student Speaker
Jason Caruso is an aspiring law student who earned an Associate of Arts degree from Tri-C this summer. He is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in political science at Cleveland State University. Outside of academia, Caruso manages a cellphone repair store and works as an independent tutor. He passionately supports the Cleveland Browns as a lifelong fan and three-year season ticket holder. The second-oldest of four brothers — and one of 35 cousins — Caruso values family above all else. His infant daughter, Emma, provides inspiration for his personal, academic, and professional growth. While at Tri-C, Caruso enrolled in honors English, history, psychology and political science courses, emphasizing research on internal and external factors that contribute toward success. However, he believes that the true measure of his success will come from his performance as a father. A survivor of both cancer and mental illness, Caruso acknowledges the presence of unique challenges in each individual’s journey through life and believes that it’s the opportunities that accompany these hardships that make our journeys worthwhile. Without an unsuccessful first attempt at college, Caruso may never have experienced success the second time around. In light of that experience, he remains committed to embracing vulnerability and adversity.

Commencement History Academic Regalia
Traditional academic regalia originated in 12th-century England with the robes worn by the monks who administered Oxford University. In the United States, the use of academic regalia dates to 1754 and the founding of Columbia University. The standards for academic regalia styles and colors were established in 1895 and are maintained by a commission of college and university officials. As seen today, regalia typically consists of three items: the robe, the mortarboard and the hood. The robe is usually black, although institutions may sanction the use of other colors. The style of the robe Brown: Architecture and Fine Arts Citron Yellow: Social Work Dark Blue: Philosophy Green: Medicine Lemon Yellow: Library Science Light Blue: Education
changes for associate, baccalaureate, master’s and doctoral degrees. The width and style of the sleeve and the length of the hood increase with each advanced degree. The mortarboard is adorned with a tassel; black for those who have earned an associate, bachelor’s or master’s degree, and gold for those who have earned a doctorate or are governing officers of an educational institution. In the hood, the color of the velvet border identifies the academic field in which the degree was earned, and the colors of the lining are the official colors of the institution that granted the degree.
Light Brown: Business Lilac: Dentistry Olive: Pharmacy Orange: Engineering Peach/Apricot: Nursing Peacock Blue: International Affairs
Students who have achieved academic honors wear a gold honors cord. The honors cord indicates that the graduate has a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or greater. U.S. military veterans wear a red, white and blue medallion.
Phi Theta Kappa, founded in 1918, is recognized as the official honor society for community colleges by the American Association of Community Colleges. Members of Phi Theta Kappa may wear the Society’s Honors Stole, made of gold satin and embroidered with the Society’s Greek letters.
Pink: Music Purple: Law Scarlet: Theology White: Arts and Letters, Journalism Yellow: Science
The Legend of the Stole of Gratitude Every graduate has had a special person who, through moral or financial support, made a big difference in his or her life. The Stole of Gratitude offers an opportunity to say "Thanks for making it possible for me to succeed!" After the ceremony, the new graduate presents the Stole of Gratitude to someone who provided extraordinary support or who has helped with
wisdom, words of encouragement, or financial assistance. Immediately after graduation, the graduate may take the stole from around his/her neck and place it around the neck of the recipient. If more than one stole is worn during commencement, they symbolize multiple persons who will receive Stoles of Gratitude.
Congratulations, Graduates!
32
Presenters often write a few words of love and appreciation on the back of the stole using a permanent, fine-tipped marker. Friends and family of the graduate may autograph the front or back. The Stole of Gratitude is a lasting symbol of love, appreciation and academic accomplishment.
