Tarleton State University August 2023 Commencement Program

—TARLETON FIGHT SONG

—CANCIÓN DE LUCHA DE TARLETON

TO OUR GUESTS

Flash Photography will be taking pictures of individual graduates during the ceremony. We ask that all guests remain seated while taking pictures and videos during the processional, the ceremony and recessional. Aisles must remain clear at all times for safety reasons.

Tarleton State University is providing Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) for this event for our deaf and hard of hearing guests.

TARLETON LEGACY

Students marked as Legacy have indicated a member of their family also graduated from the university.

THIS PROGRAM IS NOT AN OFFICIAL GRADUATION LIST

While every effort is made to ensure accuracy in this commencement program, printing deadlines sometimes prevent inclusion of candidates’ names, or may result in the use of names of persons not completing graduation requirements. Names are listed as the candidate has requested their name to appear on their diploma. All honors indicated in this program are tentative. Official degree honors for diplomas and transcripts will be determined after final grades are reported. This printed program, therefore, should not be used to determine a student’s academic or degree status. The university’s official registry for conferral of degrees is the student’s permanent academic record, kept by the Office of the University Registrar.

A NUESTROS INVITADOS

Flash Photography tomará fotografías de los graduandos individualmente durante la ceremonia. Pedimos que todos los invitados permanezcan sentados mientras toman fotos y videos durante la procesión, la ceremonia y la recesión. Los pasillos deben permanecer despejados en todo momento por razones de seguridad.

La Universidad de Tarleton está proporcionando traducción en tiempo real de acceso a la comunicación (CART) para este evento para nuestros invitados sordos y con discapacidad auditiva.

LEGADO DE TARLETON

Los estudiantes marcados como Legado han indicado que un miembro de su familia también se graduó de la universidad.

ESTE PROGRAMA NO ES UNA LISTA OFICIAL DE GRADUACIÓN

Aunque se ha hecho todo lo posible para garantizar la precisión en este programa de graduación, los plazos de impresión puede que impidan la inclusión de los nombres de algunos candidatos o pueden resultar en el uso de nombres de personas que no completan los requisitos de graduación. Los nombres se enumeran de la manera en que el candidato solicitó que su nombre apareciera en su diploma. Todos los honores indicados en este programa son provisionales. Los honores de grado oficial para diplomas y transcripciones se determinarán después de que se informen las calificaciones finales. Este programa impreso, por lo tanto, no debe usarse para determinar el estado académico o de grado de un estudiante. El registro oficial de la universidad para la concesión de títulos es el expediente académico permanente del estudiante, que conserva la Oficina del Registro Universitario.

The mace is a ceremonial staff traditionally displayed as a symbol of authority. Historically, the use of a mace dates back to the Middle Ages and was carried before or placed near a magistrate or other dignitary as an ensign of authority. The University Mace is borne by the Provost at the beginning of each commencement ceremony. Tarleton unveiled a new mace on the inauguration day of its 15th president. The University Mace is turned out of walnut and has a headpiece with cast bronze Tarleton seals mounted on four sides. Crowning the headpiece is a three-dimensional, bronze-plated flame of knowledge, which sits above three polished bands of bronze, representing Tarleton’s past, present and future.

El cetro es un bastón ceremonial que tradicionalmente se muestra como símbolo de autoridad. Históricamente, el uso de un cetro se remonta a la Edad Media y se llevaba ante o cerca de un magistrado u otro dignatario como símbolo de autoridad. El rector lleva al personal ceremonial de la Universidad al frente de todas las procesiones académicas. Tarleton presentó un nuevo Bastón el día de la inauguración de su decimoquinto presidente. El Bastón Ceremonial Universitario está hecho de madera de nogal y tiene un tocado con sellos de Tarleton cromado con bronce montados en los cuatro lados. Coronando el tocado hay una llama de conocimiento tridimensional, bañada en bronce, que se asienta sobre tres bandas pulidas de bronce, que representan el pasado, el presente y el futuro de Tarleton.

ACADEMIC DRESS

The distinctive dress associated with academic processions and convocations dates from the Middle Ages when students of the oldest European and English universities wore woolen and fur garments for warmth in drafty stone buildings. Most of the scholars were clerics in holy orders, and they wore cloaks with hoods that could be pulled up to cover their tonsured heads. Robes were adopted from both ecclesiastical and civilian sources. The hood was selected by these early scholars as an article of apparel to distinguish the various university degrees by its color, trimming or binding.

The use of academic dress in the United States has been continuous since Colonial days. However, a uniform system was adopted by most institutions of higher learning near the end of the 19th century when the Intercollegiate Commission met in New York. This code of dress has become standard for most colleges and universities.

In the United States, black is the traditional color for academic gowns, although some institutions authorize holders of their doctorates to wear the colors of the institution. The bachelor’s robe is black with long pointed sleeves. The master’s is black with oblong sleeves which are closed; the arm comes through a slit in the sleeve. The doctor’s robe has long full sleeves, velvet facing on the front and at the neck, and three velvet bars across each of the sleeves. The velvet in the doctor’s robe may be black, or it may be the color that symbolizes the degree held.

The usual cap, proper for all degrees, is the black mortarboard, although some colleges use the beret. Tassels, usually black, are worn over the left front quarter of the cap. Holders of the doctorate may wear tassels of gold thread.

The most distinctive feature of American academic dress is the hood, which indicates by its color and design its wearer’s degree and the institution by which the degree was conferred. Hoods vary in length according to the degree. The bachelor’s hood (which is used at some institutions) is about three feet long, and that of the master’s degree is slightly longer, while the doctoral hood is long and colorful with broad panels. The hood is lined with the color of the college or university granting the degree. It is faced with a color indicating the subject of specialization. A partial list of colors associated with the various disciplines is as follows:

VESTIMENTA ACADÉMICA

La vestimenta distintiva asociada con las procesiones y convocatorias académicas data de la Edad Media, cuando los estudiantes de las universidades europeas e inglesas más antiguas usaban prendas de lana y piel para abrigarse en edificios de piedra con corrientes de aire. La mayoría de los eruditos eran clérigos de las órdenes sagradas y vestían capas con capuchas que podían levantarse para cubrir sus cabezas tonsuradas. Las túnicas se adoptaron tanto de fuentes eclesiásticas como civiles. La capucha fue seleccionada por estos primeros eruditos como una prenda de vestir para distinguir los diversos títulos universitarios por su color, adorno o ribete.”

El uso de vestimenta académica en los Estados Unidos ha sido continuo desde la época colonial. Sin embargo, la mayoría de las instituciones de educación superior adoptaron un sistema uniforme hacia fines del siglo XIX cuando la Comisión Intercolegial se reunió en Nueva York. Este código de vestimenta se ha convertido en una norma para la mayoría de los colegios y universidades.

En los Estados Unidos, el negro es el color tradicional para las togas académicas, aunque algunas instituciones autorizan a los titulares de sus doctorados a usar los colores de la institución. La bata del licenciado es negra con mangas largas puntiagudas. La del maestro es negra con mangas oblongas que se cierran; el brazo sale por una hendidura en la manga. La bata de los doctorados tiene mangas largas y anchas, con frente de terciopelo en la parte delantera y en el cuello y tres barras de terciopelo en cada una de las mangas. El terciopelo de la bata del doctor puede ser negro o puede ser del color que simboliza el título obtenido.

La gorra usual, apropiada para todas las titulaciones, es el birrete negro, aunque algunas universidades utilizan la boina. Las borlas, generalmente negras, se usan sobre el cuarto delantero izquierdo de la gorra. Los titulares del doctorado pueden llevar borlas de hilo oro.

Lo más distintivo de la vestimenta académica estadounidense es la capucha, que indica por su color y diseño el grado de su portador y la institución por la que se otorgó el título. Las capuchas varían en longitud según el título. La capucha de licenciatura (que se usa en algunas instituciones) mide aproximadamente un metro de largo y la de la maestría es un poco más larga, mientras que la capucha de doctorado es larga y colorida con paneles anchos. La capucha está forrada con el color del colegio o universidad que otorga el título. En la faz es de un color que indica el tema de especialización. Una lista parcial de colores asociados con las diversas disciplinas es la siguiente:
