“ H e r e W e H av e I d a h o ” 1 Alma Mater, the hope of a pioneer race; You’re fashioned of dreams and of toil, Your walls and your towers by stout-hearted men Were raised from the rock and the soil. Chorus And here we have Idaho, Winning her way to fame; Silver and Gold in the sunlight blaze, And romance lies in her name; Singing, we’re singing of you, ah, proudly too; All our lives through we’ll go singing, Singing of you, Alma Mater, our Idaho.
2 Now ours is the heritage, rich and so full, The gain of their toil and their tears; And ours is the fruit, and the harvest is ours, Oh, Idaho, gift of the years. Chorus And here we have Idaho, Winning her way to fame; Silver and Gold in the sunlight blaze, And romance lies in her name; Singing, we’re singing of you, ah, proudly too; All our lives through we’ll go singing, Singing of you, Alma Mater, our Idaho.

P r e s i d e n t C h u c k S ta b e n Chuck Staben took office as the 18th president of the University of Idaho March 1, 2014. During President Staben’s first year at the University of Idaho, the University successfully concluded the “Inspiring Futures: Invest in the University of Idaho” campaign, with donors contributing more than $261 million, far exceeding the original goal of $225 million. The University budget position has improved while tuition increased by the lowest percentage in 10 years. Staben has called for the University to grow enrollment to meet Idaho’s needs while maintaining excellence in graduate and professional education, research and outreach. Staben has called for the University to be better in all that we do.
and at Chiron Research Laboratories from 198586. He also was a graduate research and teaching assistant at the University of California, Berkeley from 1978-84. Staben’s research focused on fungal developmental biology, bioinformatics and fungal genomics. He received grants from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health and other agencies. He has served on National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health grant review panels and recently served on a National Research Council committee that reviewed the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research and the Institutional Development Award programs for the U.S. Senate. Staben taught microbiology, genetics, bioinformatics and introductory biology, and he received numerous awards for teaching. Staben received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana in 1978 and his doctoral degree in biochemistry from the University of California, Berkeley in 1984. He is originally from Waukegan, Illinois.
Before joining UI, Staben served as provost and vice president for academic affairs at the University of South Dakota. During his tenure there, the university increased enrollment, retention and graduation, and research grants. As provost, Staben helped guide the university through state funding declines and helped lead its transition to a new budget model.
Staben and his wife, Dr. Mary Beth Staben, a practicing physician, have three college-aged children: Mac, Cal and Rae. Mac and Cal both began medical school in 2014; Mac is at Boston University and Cal is at the University of Louisville. Rae is studying economics at Stanford University.
Staben also served as associate vice president for research at the University of Kentucky from 2004-08, and acted as vice president in 2006-07. Prior to that appointment, he was a professor of biology from 1989-2008 and chair of the biology department from 2000-04. He was a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University from 1987-89

S ig n i f ic a n c e o f A c a d e m ic A pp a r e l a n d S y m b o l s o f I n v e s tit u r e University of Idaho Academic Mace
University of Idaho President’s Medallions
Maces date to the Middle Ages and symbolize strength and authority. Each is unique and reflects the values and characteristics of the institution. The University’s chief marshal, who leads all academic processions, carries the mace.
The first medallion was created by Idaho artists George and Macky Roberts. the President’s Medallion was first used in 1965 at the inauguration of Ernest Hartung, the University of Idaho’s 12th president. The medallion’s base is a three-and-a-half-inch disc of pure Idaho silver. Mounted on the base is a disc of native jasper; a sterling silver sunburst is inlaid in the disc. Inside the sunburst is a modification of the Chinese character meaning “mountain,” which features three upward-pointing prongs. Over the center prong is a gold inlay, thus symbolizing “Light on the Mountain.”
The University of Idaho’s mace, used for the first time at the centennial commencement, is 32 inches long, made of walnut and encircled with bands of Idaho gold and silver in which Idaho garnets and opals have been inlaid. The head is embellished with silver and gold representations of camas plants and syringa flowers. The chair of the University’s Faculty Senate, the marshal of the academic procession, carries the mace in the American tradition, at a 45-degree angle across the chest, while in England, the bearer carries it over the shoulder.
The heavy medallion is worn suspended from a collar woven of Idaho wool, some of which is dyed with dahlia flowers to match the jasper and some of which is from a black sheep. The second President’s Medallion, worn during commencement by then-President Timothy P. White, was commissioned in 2004. This medallion’s base is a goldleafed University seal and is worn suspended by a chain with gold leaf charms, each representing the Presidents who have served the University.

S ig n i f ic a n c e o f A c a d e m ic A pp a r e l a n d S y m b o l s o f I n v e s tit u r e University of Idaho Academic Apparel
Hoods
By observing certain features of the academic apparel, it is possible to learn several things about the academic status of the scholar: the level of the degree attained, the branch of learning in which it was earned, and the college or university conferring the degree.
The length of the hood also varies according to the level of degree. The bachelor’s gown is worn without a hood. A master’s hood is three and one-half feet long, and a doctor’s hood is four feet in length and has panels at the sides. It is from the colors adorning the hood that one can learn two other facts. Lining: the hood is lined with the official color or colors of the college or university conferring the degree (silver and gold, signifying the University of Idaho). Trimming: the hood is trimmed with velvet of a color appropriate to the wearer’s branch of learning. For example, the trimming for the degree of Master of Science in Agriculture is maize, representing agriculture, rather than golden yellow, representing science. (In the case of the Doctor of Philosophy degree, the dark blue color is used, representing the mastery of the discipline of learning and scholarship, regardless of the branch of learning.) Colors associated with the different disciplines are listed below:
Gowns The gowns differ according to the level of the degree. The sleeves are the principal indicator—gowns of bachelor’s have pointed sleeves; those of master’s have oblong sleeves with an arc cut away at the front; and doctors have round, bell-shaped sleeves. Bachelor’s and master’s gowns are untrimmed. Doctoral gowns have distinctive velvet facing down the front and three velvet bars on each sleeve. The University of Idaho adopted a doctoral gown of its own in 1989. The silver gown has a panel and sleeve bars of black velvet outlined in antique gold. The beret-styled soft cap is patterned after the Cambridge version instead of the traditional Oxford-style mortarboard. The cap and gown were designed by Emeritus Professor Edmund Chavez in the University’s centennial year and are worn today by officials and university administration.

Honor Cords Honor Cords, worn around the neck and hanging loosely down the front, identify students who are graduating with honors: gold, summa cum laude (with highest distinction); silver, magna cum laude (with great distinction); and bronze, cum laude (with distinction). The cords are provided by the University of Idaho and are worn on this one occasion only.
Caps The color of the tassel worn on the cap varies with the level of degree. The bachelor’s tassel represents the color appropriate to the major field of study (see colors at right); the master’s and specialist’s tassels are black; and the doctoral tassels are old gold.
