2017 SATURDAY MORNING SPEAKER

CAPTAIN DESHAUNA BARBER ’15, U.S. ARMY RESERVE MISS USA 2016

Captain Deshauna Barber travels the world as a motivational speaker for WME/IMG, an American talent company, and is a logistics commander in the U.S. Army Reserve. She currently commands the 988th Quartermaster Detachment Company in Rockville, Maryland.

The daughter of an Army master sergeant who served in the Special Forces, Barber was born in Columbus, Georgia, but relocated multiple times growing up. She was commissioned as a quartermaster officer in 2011 and has been serving her country ever since. Barber has spent much of her career advocating for soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

On Sunday, June 5, 2016, Barber became the first Miss USA to be crowned while serving in the military. She spent her yearlong reign as Miss USA partnering with and lending her voice to organizations such as the USO, Smile Train, Best Buddies, and Operation Homefront.

Barber has made it her life goal to encourage, inspire, and strengthen the people around her. As a survivor of bullying and child sexual abuse, she seeks to inspire other survivors to fight through the fears of their past.

The recent loss of her mother to cancer has moved her to encourage people to focus on loving the people around them.

Barber earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from Virginia State University and a Master of Science in Management, with a specialization in Information Systems and Services, from UMUC. She worked as an IT analyst for more than five years at various government offices, including the Department of Defense, Department of Transportation, Department of the Navy, and Department of Commerce.

Barber has appeared on The Steve Harvey Show, The Rachael Ray Show, Fox and Friends, The Chelsea Show, Good Morning Washington, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The T. D. Jakes Show, The Nightly Show, The Source on Sirius XM, The Daily Show, Lunch Break, Live with Kelly, and Good Morning America and has been featured in Glamour and Diversity magazines.

2017 SATURDAY AFTERNOON SPEAKER

THE HONORABLE CHRIS VAN HOLLEN U.S. SENATOR (MARYLAND) Elected to the U.S. Senate in November 2016, Chris Van Hollen is committed to fighting to ensure that our state and our country live up to their full promise of equal rights, equal justice, and equal opportunity.

Van Hollen believes that all children deserve the opportunity to pursue their dreams and benefit from a quality education and that anyone willing to work hard should be able to find a good job. His top priorities include creating more and better jobs, strengthening small businesses, and increasing educational and job training opportunities for individuals of all ages and in every community.

The senator started his time in public service as a member of the Maryland State Legislature, where he became known as a tenacious advocate for everyday Marylanders and someone who was unafraid to take on powerful special interests on behalf of working people. In 2002, he was elected to represent Maryland’s 8th Congressional District.

In the House of Representatives, he served as a member of the Democratic leadership and was elected by his colleagues to be the ranking member of the House Budget Committee and protect vital interests like Social Security and Medicare.

Van Hollen has also become known for working hard to find common sense solutions to difficult national issues. In January 2015, he released a comprehensive plan to address the problem of growing inequality in America and provide a blueprint for building an economy that works for everyone—a goal that he will continue to fight for in the U.S. Senate.

Van Hollen is proud to have worked successfully with members of both parties to pass bipartisan legislation on issues of common concern, including expanding medical research, protecting the Chesapeake Bay, fighting childhood cancer, and passing the ABLE Act to assist families with children with disabilities.

Van Hollen is a graduate of Swarthmore College, the John F. Kennedy School of Public Policy at Harvard University, and Georgetown University Law Center. He and his wife, Katherine Wilkens, are the proud parents of three children, Anna (26), Nicholas (25), and Alexander (21).

ALMA MATER

UMUC ALMA MATER In 2017, University of Maryland University College celebrates its 70th anniversary. UMUC was established in 1947 specifically to serve the educational needs of adult students, many of them veterans returning from World War II. That commitment continued as UMUC first sent faculty overseas to teach active-duty military personnel in Europe in 1949 and in Asia in 1956. That mission guides us to this day.

Our Alma Mater, by former faculty member Susan C. Malone, commemorates and celebrates UMUC’s unique culture and mission.

ACADEMIC DEGREES AND DRESS

HISTORY OF ACADEMIC DEGREES AND DRESS

A DEGREE is awarded for successfully completing a course of study. U.S. colleges and universities now confer more than 1,600 types of academic degrees.

The first degree recorded in history was a doctorate conferred by the University of Bologna in the middle of the 12th century. Originally, the doctor’s and master’s degrees were used interchangeably, each indicating that the holder was qualified to give instruction to students. The bachelor’s, or baccalaureate, degree indicated only entrance upon a course of study preparatory to a doctorate or mastership. Gradually, however, the bachelor’s degree came to signify the successful completion of a level of advanced study preparatory to the higher degrees.

The associate degree originated at the University of Chicago, which began awarding them in 1900.

Today’s associate degree is typically awarded after two years of study and is often composed of coursework that may be applied toward a bachelor’s degree.

In North America, the Bachelor of Arts (BA) was first conferred in 1642, on the nine young men who constituted the first graduating class of Harvard College. Yale conferred its first Bachelor of Arts in 1702; Princeton, in 1748; William and Mary, in 1753; Pennsylvania, in 1757; and Columbia, in 1758.

The Bachelor of Science (BS) was awarded to four graduates of Harvard’s class of 1851; they were probably the first from any institution to receive that degree. Women in the United States first received baccalaureate degrees in 1841, when three women graduated from Oberlin College.

The master’s degree has passed through various stages since its origin in the Middle Ages. During most of the first two centuries of U.S. collegiate history, the only master’s degree awarded was the classic Master of Arts (MA). The University of Michigan offered the first Master of Science (MS) in 1858.

Throughout the 19th century, the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree gained status in both Europe and North America. The first earned doctorates in the United States were awarded to three students at Yale in 1861. The Johns Hopkins University was founded for graduate studies in 1876, after which more universities developed doctoral programs in varied disciplines but with requirements similar to the PhD. THE GOWNS worn by participants in today’s procession indicate which academic degrees they hold.

At the bachelor’s level and above, the gown is usually black, but some universities use colored gowns. At UMUC, doctoral candidates wear royal blue gowns; master’s and bachelor’s candidates wear black, and associate degree candidates wear the traditional lightgray gown.

The style of sleeve connotes the level of achievement: straight-bottomed sleeves indicate the associate and bachelor’s degree; longer, dangling sleeves, the master’s degree; and fuller, round sleeves the doctorate.

The gown worn by those who have earned a doctorate is faced with velvet and has three bars of the same material across the sleeves; the facing and bars can be either black, blue, or a color matching the field in which the degree is earned.

HISTORY OF ACADEMIC DEGREES AND DRESS, cont.

Hoods are lined with the colors of the school granting the degree. The velvet border of the hood indicates the discipline. The hood for the doctorate has distinguishing panels and is longer than that for the master’s degree. Hoods are not usually worn for the bachelor’s or associate degrees at UMUC. Undergraduate students who have earned honors for outstanding scholarship wear cords as part of their academic regalia—gold for summa cum laude, blue for magna cum laude, and white for cum laude. These honors are awarded to students with a grade point average of 3.800 and higher.

The standard cap is the mortarboard, which is usually the same color as the gown. At UMUC, tassels worn by candidates for degrees below the doctoral level are worn on the right and are moved—with great fanfare—to the left at the end of the ceremony.

Regalia worn by the university president is uniquely designed for each institution. Presidential robes have four bars of velvet across the sleeves, generally piped in a contrasting color, and may have two velvet bars down the front panel. At UMUC, the president’s gown is blue with gold piping to represent the university’s colors.
