COMMENCEMENT, APRIL 2020

Welcome From the President It is my great pleasure to congratulate the members of Western Michigan University’s Class of 2020. Earning their degree represents one of the major milestones in the lives of our graduates and highlights their transition from being college students to WMU alumni.

I join with the many family and friends who celebrate this immense accomplishment and take no small sense of pride in how far their loved ones have come. Though they are beginning their new journeys at a time of great challenge, they can look forward to a vast array of opportunities spread out before them as they begin the next chapter in their lives.

Throughout their time with us as Broncos, our students have proven they possess the grit and determination to achieve success and reach their goals. The adversity we are experiencing today will, no doubt, help us all develop a deeper sense of compassion for others, reinforce our stores of resilience, and bolster our resolve to push forward and build fuller careers and better lives.

Our graduates were already developing as leaders and we sorely need them to live up to their years of training and potential now, as never before. Our world will call upon the leadership and potential of this generation of Broncos to make their mark and help lead us forward. And, when we get to the other side of this current crisis together, we will look forward to the opportunity to be with you in person to celebrate your accomplishments.

I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to all of our graduates. We know they did not get to this moment on their own, so I also want to thank the parents, spouses and partners, children, extended family members, friends, faculty, staff members and community partners who have played a significant role in supporting them through their pathways. Each one of the graduates has benefitted from a support network that has provided guidance, tough love, laughter and encouragement throughout the journey that is culminating with a diploma, greater understanding and a wealth of valuable experiences.

We are not focused on endings, but on new beginnings. Graduates, as you move forward with your future plans in starting your career, continuing your studies, or building a successful life, you will take with you the expertise, passion and grit acquired through your experiences at WMU. Thank you for including us in your journey, and never forget that as you take the knowledge and inspiration that you built here out into the world, you will always be part of the Bronco community.

Congratulations and warm regards,

Edward Montgomery President Western Michigan University

COMMENCEMENT, APRIL 2020

Welcome to YOUR Alumni Association!

To our newest alumni, It is my honor to welcome you to a community of 250,000 Broncos who, just like you, call Western Michigan University their alma mater.

While you may be ending your time as a student and perhaps preparing to move far from Kalamazoo, know that your connection to WMU will remain as strong as ever as part of the WMU Alumni Association. With Broncos in every state of the nation and in over 100 countries around the world, you will never be far from your fellow alumni.

The first steps in maintaining your connection to WMU are by updating your contact information at WMUalumni.org/InfoUpdate and by following the WMU Alumni Association on social media. The Office of University Advancement is eager to keep you updated about news and events on campus, and WMU events that will be in your area. There are a number of ways to stay involved with WMU, and we hope you will take advantage of them as you begin your new journey as part of the alumni community.

On behalf of the WMU Alumni Association, I congratulate you and wish you all the very best in your next chapter in life.

Onward for the Brown and Gold,

DeRondal Bevly, B.B.A. 2003 President, WMU Alumni Association WMUalumni.org

COMMENCEMENT, APRIL 2020

The University Ranked in the top 11 percent of all universities, WMU is a globally engaged university that promotes success for learners at all levels.

Founded in 1903, the University has undergone dramatic growth in size and stature during its more than 115 years of service. Today, WMU offers 263 academic programs to students pursuing degrees through the doctoral level. More than 20 percent of its 21,470 students are enrolled in graduate coursework, studying in disciplines that range from geosciences and atomic and nuclear physics to medieval literature and blind rehabilitation. Of the 113 graduate offerings available, 35 lead to a doctoral degree.

Recent developments include the fall groundbreaking for a new student center and dining facility at the center of WMU’s main campus, anticipated to open in its first phase of development in fall 2021 and in its final phase in fall 2022. A fall 2020 opening is antincipated for a new six-story 197-unit residential facility, Arcadia Flats, that will house 341 students.

In addition, the University is in the process of expanding the Business and Research Technology Park, which provides internship and employment opportunities for students.

The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching classifies WMU as a doctoral university that is one of just 185 public universities in

the nation conducting research at a high level. In addition, U.S. News & World Report has named WMU among the nation’s best national universities since 1991.

Home to a thriving undergraduate honors college, WMU is one of four public universities in Michigan to be granted its own chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the oldest and most widely recognized academic honor society in the nation. Just 107 other public universities in the country have been selected to shelter a chapter.

The University has garnered such success by encouraging an emphasis on both teaching and research.

Many of WMU’s more than 930 fulltime faculty members are engaged in cutting-edge research, helping to enhance the body of knowledge and, at the same time, ensuring their students have access to the most current information.

Among WMU’s hallmarks are engagement with the communities it serves, innovation and outreach to enhance economic development.

WMU plays an integral part in efforts to diversify the state’s economy.

It contributes to the economy by providing talented graduates who are able to be immediately productive in their chosen fields, offering research and product development for private industry, and supporting startup

companies that will be the source of future jobs.

Both the faculty and the student body reflect WMU’s reputation in the world and its commitment to diversity. The University attracts students from across the nation and from more than 100 other countries. Minority students comprise of 24 percent of the student population while international students make up 8 percent. WMU’s faculty members have been trained at some of the world’s finest institutions, and they bring to the campus a global perspective that enhances the learning environment.

Western Michigan University provides higher education and professional development opportunities beyond its main campus. WMU offers over 50 complete degree programs and graduate certificates, online or through six regional locations throughout Michigan: Metro-Detroit, Battle Creek, Benton Harbor/St. Joseph, Grand Rapids and Traverse City.

The University also sponsors study abroad programs in numerous countries, has exchange agreements with institutions around the globe, and is a higher education leader in such areas as sustainability and educating former foster-care youth.

WESTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY

The University Seal

In 1957, the year that Western Michigan University became a university, WMU art professor John Kemper made a sketch on the back of his faculty identification card that would eventually be adopted as the official seal of WMU. The circular design by Kemper has remained the University’s official mark for more than 60 years. It has four components: •

Five stars that symbolize the main academic units in place when WMU gained university status— the schools of Applied Arts and Sciences, Business, Education, Liberal Arts and Sciences, and Graduate Studies

•

A tree that signifies the University’s continuing growth, while its roots acknowledge the institution’s firm planting through its creation by the Michigan Legislature in 1903

•

A stone arch that symbolizes a gateway to knowledge as well as solid growth, while the missing keystone indicates the University’s growth is incomplete, with much more remaining to be accomplished and discovered

•

A pyramid, which stands for the building of knowledge and features a flame at its apex to signify enlightenment—WMU’s true purpose.

Prior to the current design, four different seals represented the University under its various names. The first two emblems were circular and modeled on components of Michigan’s state seal. The two subsequent seals were rectangular and featured depictions of campus buildings.

COMMENCEMENT, APRIL 2020

Academic Regalia The use of academic dress stems from costumes worn in universities in the 14th and 15th centuries, particularly at Cambridge and Oxford in England. Since colonial times, it has been worn in the United States and was standardized by an Inter-collegiate Code in 1895.

The major distinguishing characteristics of the gowns are the sleeves, styled in the following fashions: bachelor, long pointed; master, oblong; and doctor and specialist, bell shaped. The doctor’s gown has a velvet collar, facing and three bars on the sleeves. The specialist’s gown differs from a doctor’s in that it has no sleeve bars.

Masters, specialists and doctors wear hoods lined with the official colors of the university from which the degree is granted. They vary in size and shape to indicate the several degrees. The doctor’s hood is the largest and most lavishly decorated. The color of the velvet that circles the opening of the hood shows the degree earned—silver for doctor of audiology, light blue for doctor of education, dark blue for doctor of philosophy, peacock blue for doctor of public administration.

Caps are mortar boards with the tassel worn over the left front quadrant. The tassel’s color indicates the academic program area.
