COMMENCEMENT AT TEXAS STATE

Welcome to Texas State University's Summer Commencement! In order to ensure your enjoyment and safety while visiting with us, please review the following information.

Live Streaming

For your convenience, the ceremonies will be streamed live on the commencement website at www.txstate.edu/commencement.

Processional and Diploma Presentations

At the beginning of the ceremony, candidates will process in, near sections 110-112, and be seated in order as indicated on the map in the back of this program. During diploma presentations, candidates will cross the stage from right to left.

Commencement and Graduation

Commencement is a ceremony in which preliminary degree candidates are recognized for their academic achievements. The commencement program reflects the name and degree of each preliminary degree candidate as well as the honors designation based on the previous semester's progress. Conferral of the official Texas State degree occurs after commencement when final grades are posted and all degree requirements have been met. The program only lists those candidates who applied by the appropriate deadline. Therefore, this program should not be considered an official list of graduates.

Guidelines for Candidates and Guests

Commencement is a significant and solemn event that celebrates years of academic achievement. In order to ensure that the ceremony is meaningful for all in attendance, please avoid all unnecessary conversation and movement. Also, please refrain from using airhorns or other noisemakers during the calling of student names.

Recessional

At the end of the ceremony, all candidates will recess to Sewell Park. Guests should remain seated until all candidates have recessed. Then, guests are welcome to meet their candidates in the park near entrances 2 and 3. In the case of inclement weather, candidates will not process outside, but will leave their seats after the Platform Party has recessed.

We hope you enjoy your visit to Texas State, and congratulations to our degree candidates!

Texas State University does not discriminate on the basis of disability in the recruitment and admissions

of students or in the operation of any of its programs and activities.

SPOTLIGHT ON RISING STARS

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) has authorized Texas State University to offer a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Health Sciences that is critical to meeting the increasing demand for healthcare managers in Texas.

The degree program, which was approved by The Texas State University System Board of Regents in February 2019 and the THECB in April 2019, will begin enrolling students in fall 2019.

Healthcare managers are key to the delivery of healthcare services, as they run the day-to-day operations in the healthcare arena to allow clinicians to see patients. The business of healthcare is the largest industry in the United States, with an annual expenditure of almost $4 trillion dollars, and an 18.2 percent share of the United States Gross Domestic Product. The efficient and effective delivery of care is integral to the process of delivering care across the “Iron Triangle” of healthcare: cost, quality, and access. Imperative to that delivery is well-trained healthcare managers to conduct the finance, human resources, legal maintenance, and supply process for the system to function. Program graduates would fill administrative positions in physician group practices, physical therapy providers, dental clinic administration and long-term care facilities. Several large healthcare systems are located, or have significant presence, in the Austin – San Antonio corridor. In addition, Houston has several large healthcare systems.

The program at Texas State is being proposed at a time when dramatic population growth is projected for all of Texas, and particularly for the Austin - San Antonio corridor. Consequently, the demand for qualified healthcare managers is expected to increase statewide as healthcare facilities expand their infrastructure to meet the needs of a growing population. The Health Sciences degree is yet another example of Texas State's ongoing commitment to contribute to the economy of Texas and address its workforce needs.

The use of a mace during university graduation ceremonies combines symbolic communication with the principle of vested authority at the most traditional and sacred of academic celebrations. The Texas State University ceremonial mace is made of cherrywood adorned with gold-plated brass accents. Atop the mace is the university seal, displayed on gold-plated bronze medals on both sides of a cherrywood disk. Beneath the seal, a cherrywood cylinder bears four 24-karat gold-plated bronze medals, engraved with the words auctoritas, gravitas, humanitas, and veritas. These words originated in antiquity and represent our shared academic values:

Auctoritas: The sense of one’s standing gained through experience, industriousness, and service to othersGravitas: A sense of dignity, seriousness, and dutyHumanitas: An appreciation for refinement, civilization, and learningVeritas: Truthfulness

The mace adds meaning and dignity to the commencement ritual. It reminds both participants and spectators that education is one of the most cherished attributes of a free and democratic society.

The gowns, caps, and hoods worn at university functions date back to the early days of universities in the Middle Ages. Monks and students wore them to keep warm in the damp and drafty 12th century halls of learning. This traditional academic dress has been gradually revised to the modern form seen today.

All gowns have a semi-stiff yoke, long pleated front, and intricate shirring across the shoulders and back. The bachelor’s gown is worn closed, reaches about 8 to 10 inches from the floor and has long sleeves from which the arms extend at the wrist. The master’s gown may be worn open or closed and has long, pointed sleeves closed at the end, the forearm coming through a slit near the elbow, with the flowing sleeve extending down the thigh. The doctor’s gown may also be worn either open or closed but is distinguished by broad velvet panels down the front and by three velvet bars on the full bell-shaped sleeves. This velvet trimming may be either black or dark blue.

The black cap with maroon and gold tassel is worn by the holders of bachelor’s and master’s degrees; the black velvet tam with gold tassel is worn by holders of doctoral degrees.

The hood (not usually worn by the holders of the bachelor’s degree) is a black shell, silk-lined in the color or colors of the institution conferring the degree. The colors of Texas State University are shown by a maroon lining crossed with a gold chevron. The velvet border of the hood is the color signifying the field of learning in which the degree was earned and not the department in which the major was completed. Thus, a degree conferred as master of education with a major in physical education requires the light blue of education rather than the sage of physical education. Similarly, the doctor of philosophy degree requires the dark blue of philosophy, not the color of the department in which the major of study was completed.

Tassel turning is a time-honored tradition at commencement ceremonies. Bachelor's, Master’s, and Specialist candidates wear a maroon and gold tassel adorned with a gold charm displaying the year of graduation. Doctoral candidates wear a solid gold tassel.

After diploma presentations, candidates are instructed to move their tassels from the right side of their cap to the left, signifying the completion of their degree at Texas State University.

CORDS, STOLES, AND MEDALLIONS

TEXAS STATE OFFICIAL RING

The Texas State Official Class Ring is a lifelong representation of Texas State pride. The symbols on the ring capture the essence of Texas State.

Class ring significanceCustom crafted for Texas State, the design of the Official Ring is based upon our revered heritage and culture. Centered on the top of the Official Ring is a Texas “lone-star” set upon an oak and laurel leaf wreath. As an option, the star can be highlighted with a cubic zirconia or diamond. Around the crown of the ring, the Texas State University name and 1899 founding date are spelled out.

The left side of the ring features Texas State’s original campus building, the red-gable roofed Old Main, with “tubers” floating by on the steady flow of the San Marcos River. San Marcos gave birth to the university by giving it Chautauqua Hill-the hill where Old Main opened its doors in 1903. Since the late 1800s, people traveled from miles around to Chautauqua Hill to meet. Today, Old Main is the focal point of campus, perched above the “Quad” which is still the central gathering place for students.

How to wear your ringBefore graduation: wear your ring facing in, so that when you look down at your hand you can read Texas State University.

At graduation: after you receive your diploma, turn your ring around so that the words Texas State University now face out, displaying your pride to the world.

Ceremonial Brass, a student ensemble, performs for all Texas State commencement ceremonies each year. It is comprised of top brass and percussion students in the School of Music, conducted by music faculty such as Director of Bands Dr. Caroline C. Beatty, Associate Director of Bands Dr. Kyle R. Glaser, Associate Director of Choral Activities Dr. Jonathan Babcock, and Symphony Orchestra Director Dr. Jacob G. Harrison.

The commencement ceremonies feature a composition created especially for the Texas State Ceremonial Brass. Big and Bright was composed by Master of Music graduate Joshua M. Cavazos, a composer, pianist, educator, and church musician from San Antonio, Texas. He studied composition with Dr. Michael Ippolito and orchestration and arranging with Dr. Thomas S. Clark. Mr. Cavazos' diverse musical background includes composing four CD projects of instrumental piano music, teaching music in the public school system, and performing at various venues in South Texas.

The Texas State School of Music’s wind and percussion ensembles have won national recognition and appeared at such distinguished festivals and conventions as the Texas Music Educators Association in San Antonio and the College Band Directors National Association.

The Ceremonial Brass is one ensemble of many offered by the School of Music, including choirs, wind ensembles, symphony orchestra, mariachi, salsa bands, jazz bands, opera theater, modern music, percussion, steel drums, flute choir, trombone choir, horn choir, drumline, and, of course, Bobcat Marching Band! Though many ensemble members are music majors, many also come from a variety of disciplines across the entire campus, especially for the marching band. Texas State music ensembles have performed across the U.S. and abroad, in South Africa, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, Czech Republic, Mexico, Chile, China, and The Netherlands.

The School of Music offers a busy lineup of concerts for the public, frequently including acclaimed guest artists. The Somos Músicos concert series is designed for music students to perform for each other in a supportive, informal setting. Reaching beyond the idea of a learning laboratory, “Somos Músicos” (“We are Musicians”) has become a motto for the entire school, expressing a collective passion for making music together.

Alumni can keep up with Texas State Music on Facebook (Texas State University-School of Music), Twitter (@txstmusic), or on the Web at music.txstate.edu.

Message from the Alumni Association President

Congratulations, Bobcats! On behalf of the Texas State University Alumni Association, it is my pleasure to congratulate you on your graduation and welcome you to our Bobcat alumni family.
