About the University

The University of Missouri–St. Louis

Much like our graduates, the University of Missouri–St. Louis is also a success story.

As the largest public research university in Missouri’s most populous and economically important region, UMSL provides excellent learning experiences and leadership opportunities to a diverse student body whose influence upon graduation is immense. No other university brings more to bear on the advancement of St. Louis than UMSL –which is fitting for a campus created just for that purpose.

In 1963, the university opened on the grounds of a closed golf course in Normandy, Missouri, out of a need to bring affordable, public education to the region. It had one building, a modest faculty and fewer than 700 students. Today, UMSL is spread across 350 acres of rolling hills in suburban St. Louis County and enrolls nearly 15,000 students. While UMSL’s more than 115,000 graduates are located in all 50 states and nearly 100 countries around the world, their greatest impact is felt right here in St. Louis where more than 80,000 alumni live, work and thrive in the region.

UMSL is a Tier 1 research university –one of four in Missouri – and ranks No. 141 nationally among all public universities. This year, UMSL was again included in U.S. News & World Report’s “Top Performers for Social Mobility” rankings which measures how well universities educate and graduate Pell Grant eligible students. UMSL remains among the nation’s top performers in this area in this year’s annual rankings. The university is also a a seven-time recipient of the Higher Education Excellence in Diversity Award from Insights into Diversity magazine – the only Missouri university to earn this prestigious recognition repeatedly. Forbes Magazine has even named UMSL one of “America’s Best Colleges.”

For 60 years, the University of Missouri–St. Louis has been a beacon of hope, a force for good and a leader in the pursuit of excellence in education, meaningful research and community service. As this mission continues into the future, everyone at UMSL remains committed to providing much more than exceptional educational experiences.

We Transform Lives

As the metropolitan, land-grant, research institution serving the most diverse and economically important region in Missouri, the University of Missouri–St. Louis delivers exceptional educational, research and engagement experiences that inform, prepare, challenge and inspire.

Academic Excellence

UMSL’s fundamental purpose is to educate and graduate diverse students as they seek different and better lives. Our academic programs emphasize student growth through research, internship opportunities and one-on-one attention.

Our eight colleges and schools, as well as our joint engineering partnership, are anchored by our award-winning faculty and nationally-ranked programs, offering each student a high quality, invaluable and diverse educational opportunity.

About Commencement

Banners In addition to the coloring presented in the academic attire, each college is also represented on the university’s commencement banners. The side panels of the banners are red and gold, the colors of the University of Missouri–St. Louis. The color of the center section, which bears the seal of the university, represents the academic college.

Candidates The commencement program is a roster of candidates from the Office of the Registrar, not an official list of graduates. The appropriate degrees and honors will be awarded to candidates who have successfully completed all requirements by the date of commencement.

Commencement This ceremony celebrates a true milestone in each candidate’s life and those of their guests. Excitement, joy and enthusiasm is expected and welcomed!

Degrees with Distinction A degree with distinction in research (RCH), scholarship (SCH) or creativity in the arts (ART) is an honor that recognizes a student for outstanding accomplishments in research and/or other creative endeavors. To graduate with a degree of distinction, students must have obtained 75 credit hours, a minimum 3.5 GPA, a faculty mentor, and have begun research, scholarship or creative endeavors of exceptional quality.

Latin Honors High scholastic achievement for underguate degree candidates is indicated by Latin honors.

To graduate with Latin honors, students must have attended UMSL for 56 graded hours and must meet the GPA qualifications listed below.

*** summa cum laude: top 3% grade point average

See the official University Bulletin for more information. Undergraduate degree candidates with Latin honors will be wearing red and gold tassels to signify their honors.

The Seal of the University of Missouri The seal was adopted March 31, 1903. The straight perpendicular lines on the printed shield denote courage. The grizzly bear of Missouri is walking leisurely with face turned toward the observer. A new moon is outlined in blue, and in the lower right corner appears the arms of the United States of America. Appearing on an open book is the motto of the university, Salus Populi, The Welfare of the People. Sigill Universitatis Missourien MDCCCXXXIX translates as the seal of the University of Missouri 1839, the year the university was established as the first state university west of the Mississippi River. The seal can be seen on the UM System flag located on the stage, to the right of the American flag.

Welcome of the New Alumni

Dave Reifschneider, BSBA, 1988

Recession

(Please remain seated until the platform party has exited.)

Since 2004, she has served in leadership positions and as an independent consultant for various nonprofits in the area. She also served as an assistant teaching professor and program coordinator for the Behavior Health Workforce Education and Training Program at the University of Missouri–St. Louis School of Social Work.

Currently Rawlins serves as interim chief executive officer for the Regional Health Commission. In this role, she helps to advance the vision of achieving zero health disparities through community and system partnerships, working to dismantle the social and political factors that create and perpetuate unjust access, experiences and outcomes by centering communities that bear a disproportionate impact of negative health and social outcomes.

Honorary Degree Recipient

The first in his family to attend college, WAYNE S. DEVEYDT earned a BS in accounting from the University of Missouri–St. Louis in 1993.

For nearly a decade, DeVeydt served as the executive vice president and chief financial officer of Anthem, Inc. (currently known as Elevance Health), overseeing the financial operations associated with the company’s growth into a Fortune 20 Company. During his tenure at Anthem, he held numerous leadership roles, including chief strategy officer, chief accounting officer and chief of staff to the chairman and chief executive officer. Prior to joining Anthem, DeVeydt was a partner with PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, the multinational accounting and consulting firm, with a focus on the managed care and healthcare sector across the United States.

In January 2018, DeVeydt was named chief executive officer and director of the Board of Surgery Partners, Inc. In 2020, he went on to serve as executive chairman of that organization, a role he still holds today. In addition to his professional accomplishments, DeVeydt has had a strong focus on philanthropy throughout his adult life. His earnest ambition to help those in need on a global scale is evidenced in his support of charities with a wide range of focuses from education, medicine and orphan care.

Today, DeVeydt is a managing director at Bain Capital and a member of the Portfolio Group for North America Private Equity. He also serves on the board of directors of Centene Corporation and Zelia.

Pierre Laclede Honors College

Students of the Pierre Laclede Honors College pursue any major they choose and complete either a two-year or a four-year honors program. Each student shares in a challenging and innovative curriculum, which occupies one-third of their undergraduate career.

The honors experience also requires independent study under the supervision of individual faculty. These projects include guided reading, supervised undergraduate research and/or academic- or career-related internships and public service projects. To this work, honors students bring their intelligence and a wide diversity of experience and values –among the college’s most precious assets. Completion of the program marks a significant achievement.
