RECESSIONAL

Welcome from the President

It is my distinct honor to congratulate Western Michigan University’s summer class of 2024. Today’s commencement ceremonies symbolize your dedication to pursuing your passion and foreshadow the endless possibilities that lie ahead. Your prestigious degree signifies a major milestone in your journey, marking your transformation from college student to WMU alumni. As you cross this threshold, know that your friends, families and all celebrate this momentous occasion and your achievement, and we share in the immense pride of your accomplishments.

Tested by a myriad of unique challenges during your college years, you navigated your journey with resilience and determination. Facing uncertainty, you demonstrated the strength to surmount any challenge and a spirit of adaptability that will open a vast array of opportunities in the next chapter of your lives.

We know our graduates 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 our graduates has experienced the invaluable support of a network that has offered guidance, tough love, laughter and encouragement throughout a journey that is now culminating with a well-deserved degree, expanded knowledge and understanding, and an abundance of valuable experiences. Throughout their time as Broncos, these individuals consistently demonstrated their grit and determination to achieve success. As our latest alumni enter a new chapter in their lives, I know they will seize opportunities to realize their goals and establish careers that will bring fulfillment to their lives and make a meaningful impact on the world around them.

Graduation is a significant moment for the entire family and opens the door for fresh aspirations and the start of a new chapter where new goals will begin to emerge and unfold. Our graduates have been challenged and prepared to look toward the future and think big, and we eagerly anticipate what’s next along their journey. So, today, our focus is not on conclusions but on promising beginnings. Graduates, as you move forward with your future, whether it’s starting your career or continuing your studies, know that you are well prepared, but never hesitate to seek help when needed.

Once again, congratulations, graduates! The world is waiting for you to make a meaningful difference, and I have no doubt that you will make us proud. Go Broncos! Congratulations, and all the best in the future,

Congratulations! You’re not only officially a college graduate but also a member of the WMU Alumni Association for life.

No matter where you go or how high you climb, you can always consider Heritage Hall your alumni home. Stop by and visit anytime, whether it’s for a one-of-a-kind photo atop Prospect Hill, a tour and stroll down memory lane, or just to say hello. Hope to see you soon, Bronco! WMUalumni.org @wmualumni @wmu.alumni

Welcome to YOUR Alumni Association!

To our newest alumni,

Welcome to the WMU Alumni Association! You’ve officially become part of a community of hundreds of thousands of Broncos who call Western Michigan University their alma mater.

Way to go!

Now that you’ve moved the tassel, know that all of us here at the WMU Alumni Association are cheering you on and excited to commemorate your next chapter. With fellow alumni in every state of the nation and in more than 100 countries around the world, your connection to WMU is sure to remain vibrant and strong.

In the days and years ahead, there are many things you can do to show and grow your Bronco pride—from giving back through our day of service to tailgating with us at homecoming or another sporting event.

On behalf of the WMU Alumni Association and University Advancement, bravo and congratulations!

Wishing you a bright future,

The University

Founded in 1903, Western Michigan University is a leading, high-research doctoral institution dedicated to its core principle, “So that all may learn.”

Western empowers students from around the globe to find meaningful careers and thrive in a life well lived. The University offers its nearly 18,000 students a diverse range of majors and nationally ranked programs. All told, Western has 251 academic programs, including 116 graduate offerings and 36 leading to a doctoral degree. Students are well prepared in classrooms with the intellectual skills employers want, and they gain valuable career-readiness competencies through internships and other forms of experiencedriven learning at businesses and organizations across the state and nation. In 2024, TIME ranked Western as one of the country’s top 100 colleges for future leaders.

Setting up students for success in school and after graduation, WMU is dedicated to offering an educational environment that helps them thrive academically, socially, emotionally and physically as they pursue their purpose. The WMU community is in constant pursuit of higher levels of excellence to serve students, which is evident in developments that have enriched the academic journeys of this year’s graduates.

With the goal to transform and inspire, the University launched its first initiatives funded through the Empowering Futures Gift in the 202223 academic year. Visionary WMU graduates made history by donating $550 million to the WMU Foundation, the largest gift for a public institution of higher education in U.S. history. The Empowering Futures Gift is funding scholarships, advancing medical education and research, supporting faculty expertise, increasing athletic competitiveness and making possible numerous student-centered initiatives, such as the Bronco Promise and Broncos Lead Internship Program. Broncos in need can receive the

Bronco Promise, which provides a tuition-free education for up to five years for eligible first-year students, or low-cost housing in a Living Learning Community. Empowering Futures also provides students the opportunity to earn wages in internships at private, startup and nonprofit organizations through Broncos Lead.

The University’s campus environment is one more way Western helps students thrive. At the start of 202324 academic year, a vibrant and distinctive new student center and dining facility opened at the heart of Main Campus. Characterized by its innovative design and diverse amenities, the new WMU Student Center fosters inclusivity and community, serving as the hub for belonging on campus.

The completely renovated Dunbar Hall also opened this academic year. Reimagined from the ground up, it features state-of-the-art classrooms, advanced technology integration and dynamic student workspaces that promote active learning and innovation. Other campus developments include the opening of the Aviation Education Center in the summer of 2021, 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 student residents.

Another signature advancement in recent years was naming University College to honor the legacy of Dr. Merze Tate, the inspirational alumna who in 1927 was the first Black woman to earn a bachelor’s degree from Western. Dr. Tate took the University’s mission, “So that all may learn,” to heart and embodied a learnercentered life as teacher, journalist, author, inventor and advisor to world

leaders. The college in her name, Merze Tate College, is the academic home for exploratory majors as well as several student support units.

Reflecting outstanding commitment to transformative collaboration locally and beyond, WMU is proud to be a recipient of the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification. Among WMU’s hallmarks are engagement with the communities it serves, innovation and outreach to enhance economic development. Western is one of only 119 national institutions, 15 doctoral-granting universities and the third in Michigan to receive a “high research activity” designation. 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 91 other countries. As of fall 2023, about 31% of the student population identify as historically underrepresented or international. Faculty members have been trained at some of the world’s finest institutions, providing a global perspective that enhances the learning environment.

Moreover, Western extends its educational and professional development offerings beyond Main Campus, with over 80 complete degrees, graduate and undergraduate certificates, and doctoral programs online or in its WMU-Grand Rapids location. 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.

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.
