COMMENCEMENT, APRIL 2022

Welcome From the President It is my great pleasure to congratulate the members of Western Michigan University’s Class of 2022. Earning your degree represents one of the major milestones in your lives and demarcates your transition from being college students to WMU alumni. I join with your families and friends who celebrate this immense accomplishment and who take no small sense of pride in how far their loved ones have come. You have faced and overcame many challenges during the course of your recent unconventional college years, and now you can look forward to a vast array of opportunities spread out before you as you embark on the next chapter in your lives. Throughout their time with us as Broncos, our students have proven again and again that they possess the grit and determination to achieve success and reach their goals. As we collectively move forward into the future, I hope that the challenges of the past two years will have helped 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 looking toward the future, and we sorely need them to fully utilize their years of training and potential now as never before. Our world needs the leadership, skills, values and compassion of this generation of Broncos to help lead us all forward. I want to again 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 these 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 today 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, know that you are well prepared but never be afraid to ask for or extend a helping hand. You are part of a worldwide Bronco family that is always there for each other. It’s always a great day to be a Bronco! Congratulations and warm regards,

Edward Montgomery President

COMMENCEMENT, APRIL 2022

The University WMU is a globally engaged university that promotes success for learners at all levels.

Western Michigan University prepares students from around the globe for a life well lived by helping them to pursue, thrive and prosper so they can make a meaningful impact on society. Founded in 1903, WMU has undergone dramatic growth in size and stature during its almost 120 years of service. The University offers nearly 250 academic programs to more than 19,000 students pursuing degrees through the doctoral level. Graduate coursework includes disciplines that range from geosciences and atomic and nuclear physics to medieval literature and blind rehabilitation. Of the 114 graduate offerings available, 35 lead to a doctoral degree. WMU has created an environment designed to help students thrive academically, emotionally and physically as they pursue their purpose. The University’s focus on wellbeing supports holistic success, empowering students to craft a life of meaning and fulfillment. Visionary WMU graduates made history in June 2021 by donating $550 million to the WMU Foundation, the largest gift for a public institution of higher education in U.S. history. Known as the Empowering Futures Gift, it will fund scholarships, advance medical education and research, support faculty expertise, increase athletic competitiveness and make possible numerous student-centered initiatives.

In fall 2021, Western honored the legacy of Dr. Merze Tate by naming University College after the inspirational alumna who was the first Black woman to earn a bachelor’s degree from Western in 1927. Merze Tate College is the academic home for exploratory majors as well as several student support units. The University also marked the opening of Business Technology and Research Park North, a land and economic development project that expanded Western’s original business park located at the Parkview Avenue Campus. Other developments include the summer 2021 opening of the Aviation Education Center, which expands educational opportunities and doubles the number of students the program can accommodate. In January 2021, the newly constructed Arcadia Flats apartment complex welcomed its first upper-level student residents. And a fall 2022 opening is planned for a new student center and dining facility at the center of Main Campus. WMU in 2020 once again received the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification, which recognizes higher education institutions across the U.S. for their outstanding commitment to transformative collaboration locally and beyond. Western is one of only 119 national institutions, 13 doctoral-granting universities with “high research activity” and 11 in Michigan to receive this designation.

Among WMU’s hallmarks are engagement with the communities it serves, innovation and outreach to enhance economic development. Western plays an integral part in efforts to diversify the state’s economy as nine of 10 graduates are employed quickly, working in their field in jobs they like. The campus community reflects Western’s reputation in the world and its commitment to diversity. The University attracts students from across the nation and 92 other countries. Minority students comprise 19% of the student population while international students make up 11%. Faculty members have been trained at some of the world’s finest institutions, providing a global perspective that enhances the learning environment. Western offers higher education and professional development opportunities beyond its Main Campus, with more than 50 complete degree programs and graduate certificates online or through regional locations throughout Michigan. The University has a long history of sponsoring study abroad programs, has exchange agreements with international institutions and is a higher education leader in sustainability and educating former foster care youth.

WESTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY

The University Seal

In 1957, the year Western Michigan University became a university, 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, which signifies the University’s continuing growth. 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.

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 Intercollegiate 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.

We strive to make our commencement ceremony an inclusive experience for the extended members of our WMU family. In addition to providing American Sign Language interpretation, we are proud to serve our international community with live audio translation. Considering the large population of students from Arabic, Mandarin and Spanish-speaking countries who are graduating today, we are providing their families and friends live audio translation of the ceremony in their language. If your graduate has not provided you with the instructions to call in, ask an usher for the telephone number and access code. In future ceremonies, we will be pleased to serve our other various global communities.
