Mark Hedge grew up in St. Anthony and graduated from the University of Idaho College of Engineering in 1985 with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. Following graduation, Hedge joined a growing civil firm in Las Vegas. After four years designing residential subdivisions, he took a position with a small firm doing casino and resort work.

Mark Hedge

Hedge co-founded Lochsa Engineering with fellow alumnus Jess Haldeman’84, ’86. Their timing was fortunate and in 10 years Lochsa had approximately 170 employees in Las Vegas and Boise. They provided civil and structural design and consulting on resorts such as Mandalay Bay, Wynn, Encore, Palms, LINQ, City Center, Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock, and Silverton. Unique projects include spiral escalators at the Forum Shops, the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay and the Grand Canyon Skywalk. They continue to participate in gaming and non-gaming properties in Nevada and throughout the country. Lochsa celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2015.

Jess passed away in 2007 after a long bout with cancer. Mark and his remaining partners (including Ted Egerton,’90) took the company reins and unknowingly lead the firm directly into the Great Recession. Eventually, a reformatted Lochsa Engineering emerged as times got a little better. Now they have approximately 70 staff members in Las Vegas, Boise and Denver. Moving forward, Hedge anticipates Lochsa’s involvement in significant projects to continue. Lochsa’s current projects include design on the new Las Vegas Arena, expansions at various resorts, and numerous education, warehouse and commercial projects. Hedge served on the UI Foundation Board of Directors and is an avid golfer who thinks his 40 slump will eventually end. He lives with his wife of 22 years, Carole, two cats and two dogs. They have a 27-year-old daughter, Katie, who is a professional in sports marketing and administration.

Brian Oswald graduated with a doctorate from the University of Idaho College of Natural Resources in 1992. After graduation, Oswald took a position as assistant professor of forestry at Alabama A&M University in Huntsville, Alabama. Oswald currently holds the Joe C. Denman Distinguished Professorship in fire ecology, silviculture and range management at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas, joining the faculty there in 1995. His research on fire ecology in England and the Netherlands has gained him international recognition as an expert lecturer on fire ecology and resulted in books and courses in the Netherlands. He has authored more than 70 articles, proceeding papers and book chapters. Oswald’s contributions to silviculture and fire management of southern forests in the United States has led to a better understanding of these forests’ responses to fire and management activities. He works tirelessly to make his findings available to forest land managers in Texas and throughout the South. Oswald’s dedication to students has gone beyond the call of duty, encouraging student potential and providing them with communication skills essential within and beyond the realms of academic life. His ability to simplify complex ideas and concepts has attracted admiration among students and peers. Brian Oswald

Oswald has been recognized many times for his achievements in teaching and research. In 2004, UI’s College of Natural Resources presented him with the Mid-Career Alumni Achievement Award, and in 2002 he was presented with the Carl A. Schenck Award by the Society of American Foresters for outstanding forestry education.

Idaho’s WWAMI Medical Education Program is a partnership with the University of Washington School of Medicine and the states of Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. Started in 1972, WWAMI is currently in its 44th year of successfully educating Idaho’s physicians. The WWAMI program is nationally accredited through its partnership with the UW School of Medicine, allowing 40 Idaho medical students to complete their first 18 months of medical training at the University of Idaho, Moscow campus. Idaho’s medical students will complete the remainder of their clinical training in Idaho through the WWAMI clinical site in Boise and throughout the five-state WWAMI region.

S i g n i f i c a n c e o f A c a d e m i c A pp a r e l and Symbols of Investiture 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 i g n i f i c a n c e o f A c a d e m i c A pp a r e l and Symbols of Investiture 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.

“ 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.
