CLINIC AL PROFESSOR,

CHEMIS TRY CHAIR,

WSU FACULT Y SENATE

Congratulations graduates of Washington State University After many years of hard work and too much coffee, you’ve made

it to the gate Some of you will be heading to graduate or professional school, others to the workplace, military, or other career opportunities Regardless of your chosen path, you face a common (and very likely long-term) challenge that will require every bit of your education, training, common sense, and life experience to overcome

What is the challenge? The challenge is to discern fact from fiction, to tell the difference between objective reporting from rumor and speculation, to separate what is real from what is not This issue lies at the heart of our near instantaneous connectedness through social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter These platforms, as we’ve seen time and again, are vulnerable to smart people intent on blurring the lines between reality and fiction Whether their goal is to sow the seeds

of chaos, malicious intent, or just simple fun, those who exploit this vulnerability put our communities, our state, our nation, and our world in jeopardy Your generation faces this challenge more than any other—you are stepping into it with both feet, and you must continually develop the skills necessary to mediate this threat

How? By pausing before retweeting or sharing By taking the time to fact check using sites devoted to this purpose

(e.g snopes.com, factcheck.org, or politifact.com) By curating your news sources in such a way as to avoid media bias

By not sending an email when you are angry Above all, by continuing to develop your common sense and by continually challenging yourself to understand and own your biases (we all have them) and your assumptions (we all make them) Commit to staying well-informed Read the news every day Continue to learn world history; the record of the past provides critical insight as to how we have arrived at where we are now Use your hard-earned research and critical thinking skills to find, analyze, and use reliable expert commentary on difficult problems Rely on evidence-based science Remember that opinions are not fact With these tools, don’t be afraid to respectfully speak out rather than taking the easier path of following the popular view, as it’s not always the right view

Engage with your community Sometimes it is as simple as meeting your neighbors Sometimes it is committing to change

by running for a local political office or seeking our volunteer opportunities Exercise your right to vote and encourage others

to vote

Perhaps most importantly, don’t be apathetic and think that you can’t make a difference Remember and live our motto of

“Cougs helping Cougs.” This motto is what makes WSU unique and is the foundation of our shared values of civility, respect, and empathy When you step away from WSU and enter the next phase of your life, I urge you to remember these values with perhaps a simple truncation to “Cougs helping.” Listen to understand before speaking, own and control your assumptions and biases, and whenever possible, open doors for people, both literally and figuratively

Your life experiences and time at WSU have prepared you well to meet the opportunities and challenges ahead

Go Cougs!

CHAIR

ADMINIS TRATIVE PROFESSIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL

Dear WSU graduates,

I am honored to write to you on this momentous day—one that will live forever in your hearts It is your time

to relish in your accomplishments while looking forward to the next chapter in your lives For many of you, the

thought of leaving behind the rolling hills of the Palouse feels bittersweet, but it is the culmination of everything

you have worked so hard to achieve

There is no greater satisfaction for the WSU administrative professional staff than to witness all your successes

and share this moment with you You have earned your place here today through your hard work, tenacity,

and determination You have spent late nights working on projects; built strong, meaningful friendships; and

connected with faculty and staff who have inspired you and whom you have inspired We are blessed and

honored to have been able to cheer you on during your journey

As you watch Pullman disappear in the rearview mirror, you will reflect on the many treks made across campus

You have cultivated life-long bonds, experienced triumphs and heartbreak, and gained deeper knowledge

and insight into the world around you and a wealth of other experiences that have shaped who you are today

Always hold those memories close while you forge ahead and add value to the world No matter where your

path takes you, remember: You will always have a home in Pullman

Former first lady Michelle Obama once said, “Success isn’t about how much money you make It’s about the

difference you make in people’s lives.” When you leave here today, remember these words and be the sun

who brightens someone’s day or the moon that shines the light in their darkest hour—both equally important

Ralph Chikhany

GPSA PRESIDENT

To the Graduates of the Class of 2019,

On behalf of your student governments, the Associated Students of Washington State University, the Associated Students of Washington State University Global, and the Graduate and Professional Student Association,

congratulations on reaching this amazing milestone and graduating from Washington State University! We would like to take a second and applaud you on this remarkable accomplishment All of the struggles, successes, and self-discovery over the years have amounted to this moment of reflection and celebration You have worked hard to be sitting where you are today, so carry your degree with pride!

Throughout your time at WSU, we hope that you took advantage of the student involvement activities, research opportunities, and student services offered in addition to your academics This well-rounded educational experience is unique; we encourage you to spread this knowledge and allow it to guide you as you make your contributions to the world

Commencement marks one of the most joyous landmarks in your academic path Reflect on your journey to today, and dream of where you will go While you may feel you are being ejected into a world of uncertainty, your time here at Washington State University has equipped you to navigate the challenges that lie ahead Your path to graduation is proof that you have developed the resilient characteristics of a WSU Coug As you move forward to your next endeavors, remember that Washington State University will always be your home We encourage you to remain engaged with fellow Cougs as an active alumnus Stay connected with the friends and faculty who impacted your experience at WSU Most importantly, remember that commencement represents the beginning of a new journey, just as promising as the last

Once again, congratulations on your academic achievements; ASWSU, ASWSUG, and GPSA wish you the best of luck moving forward

AC ADEMIC REGALIA AND SYMBOL S

The academic regalia worn by graduating students—caps, gowns, and hoods—are part of a tradition that reaches back nearly 900 years to a time when universities were first being formed

A statute from the year 1321 required all doctors, licentiates, and bachelors to wear academic gowns and hoods These accoutrements denoted the wearer’s special status in a time when education was an extraordinary achievement They had a practical side, too: gowns and hoods kept scholars warm in unheated medieval buildings

Today, after receiving a charter, new institutions adopt a distinctive design for their own academic attire— yet these designs also follow a common code In May 1895, an intercollegiate commission met at

Columbia University to establish a uniform code for academic regalia that has been followed by

U.S colleges and universities ever since

WSU’S UNIQUE GOWNS

A distinctive commencement rental gown for students earning Ph.D., Ed.D., and DNP degrees debuted

in spring 2012 The gown is crimson with gunmetal-gray velvet accents and a matching velvet tam WSU is the only university with a custom rental gown

The purchased version of the gown is designed with a split hood, two silver WSU shield medallions holding the hood in place, two WSU medallion cufflinks on each sleeve, and other embellishments

THE ACADEMIC COLOR CODE

You can identify the subject area of a college graduate’s degree by the color of the trimmings on doctoral gowns, the edging of master’s and doctoral hoods, and the tassels on the cap

Arts, Letters, Humanities: White Journalism: Crimson Physical Education: Sage Green

Engineering: Orange Oratory (Speech): Silver Gray Social Work: Citron

For more on academic regalia, visit the American Council on Education at acenet.edu

THE ACADEMIC COSTUME CODE:

CAPS, GOWNS, AND HOODS

The American Council on Education maintains the

academic costume code followed by all U.S higher

education institutions

The approved attire for all graduates is composed of a

cap and gown For master’s and doctoral graduates, a

hood is included The basic article of attire is the gown,

usually black in color, and similar in design for all degrees

Doctoral gowns feature distinctive velvet trimmings on

the front and three velvet bars on the sleeves; bachelor’s

and master’s gowns are untrimmed Gowns for those

graduating with a bachelor’s degree have pointed sleeves,

the sleeves on master’s gowns arc away at the front, and

doctoral gowns have round, bell-shaped sleeves

The familiar flat-topped cap—called a mortarboard or

Oxford cap—can be worn by graduates regardless of

degree The color is usually the same as the gown; for

four-year degrees, gowns and caps are always black

Doctoral caps are covered in velvet

The hood has become the colorful standard bearer of

academic symbolism By examining the hood, it is possible

to identify the degree level, the academic field of study

in which the degree was earned, and the school that

conferred the degree

Hood length varies according to degree: doctoral, four

feet with panels at the sides; master’s, three and a half feet;

and bachelor’s, three feet However, at WSU and many

other universities, bachelor’s degree candidates do not

wear hoods The color of the hood lining indicates the

The mace is a traditional symbol of legal and chartered authority; it is an evolution of the ceremonial scepters that have been carried

by kings and dignitaries through thousands of years of human history

The University Mace is carried today by Gregory Crouch, chair of the Faculty Senate He is accompanied by an honor guard consisting of Quinton Berkompas, president of the Associated Students of WSU (ASWSU), and Ralph Chikhany, president of the WSU Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA)

Created in 1985 by WSU alumnus Tim Doebler, the two-foot-long scepter is cast in silver and bronze and weighs nine pounds It features a globe atop a laurel branch wrapped

in a silver ribbon and inscribed “Washington State University.” The globe represents the universality of education and the quest for
