Academic HeraldryThe wearing of caps, gowns and hoods at college and university functions dates to the Middle Ages when they were worn by monks and students in order to keep warm in damp and drafty 12th-century castles and halls of learning. Through the years, the style and color of caps, gowns and hoods have come to represent certain exact meanings. The following descriptions apply to current American usage. A number of variations are represented in the regalia worn by those who received degrees from non-American institutions. Gowns for bachelor's and master's degrees have semi-stiff yokes, long pleated fronts and may have intricate shirring across the shoul-ders and backs.
Gowns for the doctoral degree have long velvet panels down the front and three velvet bars on the bell-shaped sleeve. This velvet trimming may be either black or the color distinctive of the field of learning to which the degree pertains. Shenandoah has distinctive doctoral robes that were designed with President Fitzsimmons’ regalia in mind; both are a rich red with deep navy trim and the Shenandoah seal embroidered in gold on the front. Shenandoah University school colors line the academic hood.
Caps may be of serge, broadcloth, cotton, rayon, silk or — for the doctoral regalia only — of velvet. The tassel of the doctoral cap may be of gold thread. Caps are normally mortarboard in form, although square-topped caps are traditional for certain universities.
The hood carries the heaviest symbolic burden. The hood indicates the level of the degree, the discipline and the institution which awarded it. The level of the degree is shown by the size of the hood, the width of the velvet trimming and — in the case of doctoral degree — by the shape. Master’s hoods are three and one-half feet long; doctoral hoods are four feet long.
The color of the trim identifies the discipline of the degree. For example, doctorates in Arts, Letters and Humanities are white. Education is light blue. Fine Arts is brown. Music is pink. Nursing is apricot.
The institution that awarded the degree is shown by the hood’s lining. Because there are so many universities and a limited number of colors, many schools use multiple colors on the lining of the hood, often with the contrasting color in the shape of a chevron.
Shenandoah University’s colors are blue and red. Faculty who have served 20 years or more wear a red and blue shoulder cord on their regalia.
Undergraduate HonorsAll candidates for bachelor’s degrees are eligible for honors based on the cumulative grade point average for any credits earned after initial registration at Shenandoah University.
Gold cords are worn by students graduating with honors. Honors for the commencement ceremony are calculated at the end of the fall semester and are listed in the program. Final honors are calculated with the spring semester grades and appear on the transcript and diploma.
The grade point averages required for undergraduate academic honors are:
3.9 - Summa Cum Laude, with highest praise3.7 - Magna Cum Laude, with great praise3.5 - Cum Laude, with praise
other CordS and StoleS
In addition to the traditional cap and gown regalia worn at commencement, graduates are entitled to wear honor cords and stoles to signify achievement through college organizations or association with international groups or programs.
Cords and Stoles - An honor cord is a token consisting of twisted cords with tassels on either end. Students may wear more than one cord at the same time. A stole is a decorative vestment worn and takes the form of a cloth scarf-like garment worn over the shoulders. Students may wear only one stole. Students wear cords and stoles to signify academic honors or affiliation with a campus group or organization.
Exemplary Teacher AwardThe Exemplary Teacher Award is presented annually and is given jointly by Shenandoah University and the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry of the United Methodist Church. The award recognizes a full-time faculty member who demonstrates exceptional teaching, a record of scholarly and professional achievement, concern for student welfare, and respect for colleagues. Recipients also contribute their time and talent to the community in which they reside and to the religious group of their choice.
To date, the Exemplary Teachers are:2019 - David Zerull, Shenandoah Conservatory2018 - Karrin Lukacs, School of Education & Leadership2017 - Diep Vu Ca, College of Arts & Sciences2016 - Mark Johnson, Bernard J.

Official Graduation List
This program is not an official graduation list.Because commencement takes place immediately fol-lowing final exams, successful completion of spring term
courses cannot be verified in time for this program. In addition, Shenandoah University policy allows students who are within six credits of completing the degree re-quirements to participate in commencement although the degree will not be conferred until all requirements have been completed. Finally, a student’s name may be omitted from the program if he or she is late in applying to graduate.
Thus the program should not be used to determine a stu-dent’s academic or degree status. The university’s official registry for conferral of degrees is the student’s permanent academic record kept by the Registrar’s Office.
Diplomas
To increase accuracy and to prevent damage to the diplomas, Shenandoah University does not distribute official degrees at the ceremony. A graduate’s official degree will be mailed to the address provided within six to eight weeks after graduation, as long as all necessary obligations and requirements are met. During the c eremony, graduates will be given a mock diploma scroll.
Shenandoah University has a long heritage of excellence and academic achievement. The school was founded in 1875 in Dayton, Virginia, during the Civil War reconstruction period. In 1960, the school moved north to Winchester, Virginia, a growing city that saw great value in being a college town.
Today, Shenandoah University offers more than 100 areas of study at the undergraduate, graduate and doctoral levels in the College of Arts & Sciences, the School of Education & Human Development, the Harry F. Byrd, Jr. School of Business, Shenandoah Conservatory, the Eleanor Wade Custer School of Nursing (which houses the Division of Respiratory Care), the School of Health Professions (divisions of athletic training, occupational therapy, physical therapy and physician assistant studies) and the Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy.
Shenandoah University, one of the few private, doctoral degree-granting institutions in Virginia, has developed into a comprehensive university and has received approval from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) as a Level VI accredited institution.
The university now has nearly 4,000 students, representing 46 different states, the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands, as well as 68 foreign countries. It is affiliated with the United Methodist Church, although its diverse student body represents all faiths, and ecumenical services on campus celebrate that diversity.
The university’s endowment has grown to more than $60 million; the campus is valued at more than $100 million. In addition, the university has facilities throughout Winchester and campus locations in Northern Virginia, to serve the higher educational needs of that region. In 2013, the university acquired 195 acres of land in Clarke County, Virginia, which was integral to the July 18, 1864, Battle of Cool Spring. Now known as the Shenandoah University River Campus at Cool Spring Battlefield, the university has pledged to preserve and protect this historic land along the Shenandoah River.
The university is the fourth-largest employer in Winchester-Frederick County, according to the Virginia Employment Commission. A 2016 study by TischlerBise, noted the regional economic impact of the university is more than $145 million, with about 1,500 jobs supported by the institution. The study ranked the university as the second-largest employer in the City of Winchester.
With more than 300 performances during the academic year, Shenandoah welcomes internationally-acclaimed guest artists from the fields of music, theatre, and dance, as well as renowned lecturers, who speak on subjects ranging from politics to ethics, medicine to history, and media to the military.
With its dynamic academic community and accomplished faculty, the university maintains a strong curriculum that
reflects the constantly changing demands of the market and prepares students professionally for the technological and global environment of the 21st century.
Tracy Fitzsimmons, Ph.D., became Shenandoah University’s 16th president in 2008. Since arriving on campus in 2001 as dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, she has implemented many innovative programs. Dr. Fitzsimmons became vice president for academic affairs in 2002 and, in 2005, was named senior vice president & vice president for academic affairs.
Under President Fitzsimmons, the needs of current and future students remain a constant focus, and an outstanding group of faculty and staff work collaboratively to support the university’s mission.
