Commencement at Washington State University represents the culmination of a
student’s academic achievement. It is a time for celebration and reflection for students,
families, faculty, and staff. It brings together the campus community to share the joy of
the accomplished goals of our students.
The commencement ceremony at Washington State University serves a dual purpose:
to mark a point of achievement, thus completing a chapter in the lives of students and
those who support them, and to encourage continued pursuit of learning, personal
fulfillment, and engagement with local and worldwide communities.

Congratulations! The milestone you celebrate
today is impressive and important.
As we celebrate the outstanding accomplishments of Washington
State University students today, it is only appropriate that we also
celebrate the herculean achievements of Dan Bernardo during the
past 11 months.
Every student that enters Washington State
University has the opportunity to succeed. It is
whether and how you seize that opportunity—
in the classroom, in the laboratory, or in the
community—that determines your path. Your
hard work, curiosity, and persistence have
brought you to this day. You, your family, and
your friends should be immensely proud of
this achievement, and we share in that pride.
With your graduation, you join a truly
worldwide network of WSU alumni.
I encourage you to hold onto the relationships
you built with fellow students, faculty, and
staff members during your time with us. You
will always be a member of the loyal Cougar
family, and the connections you keep will
help to support you throughout your
professional career.
Enjoy today. It is a special moment in your
life, but also in the life of our great institution.
I wish you all the very best in your future
endeavors.
Dan accepted the University’s presidential duties on an
interim basis last June following the untimely death of President
Elson S. Floyd. Despite the extremely challenging circumstances,
Dan has demonstrated—without fail—exceptional leadership,
grace, and vision in his stewardship of the University.
During this academic year, Dan ensured that the University made
significant progress toward our vision of becoming one of the
nation’s leading land-grant institutions. Among the most notable
accomplishments of his tenure:
•• Advancing accreditation efforts for the Elson S. Floyd College
of Medicine
•• Identifying the Grand Challenges, our cross-disciplinary research
approach to solving some of the world’s most pressing problems
•• Ensuring that the Pullman campus remained true to its
126-year-old mission of transforming lives by offering
education and opportunity, and by driving prosperity for all
Go Cougs!
American scholar Warren Bennis famously said, “Leadership is the
capacity to translate vision into reality.” Dan, you have traveled
above and beyond to move our vision into reality. On behalf of the
entire Board of Regents, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

WOW—Congratulations! Did it go fast? For all of you and those who have supported you, this is a very special day.
For some, it is an impossibility that has come true. Perhaps you are the first from your family to attend and graduate
from college. For you and your families, the hard work has paid off and you should all be so proud. Some have lacked
the resources and have worked, attended classes, and worked more. Some of you (us) were not the best students in
high school and took this opportunity to prove yourselves, to show that you could make it and do very well. Everyone
is different and everyone has a story. The bottom line is that you have accomplished something very special and you
deserve a day or two to celebrate and relax.
Now what? Now you are going to join the real world—well, actually, most of you have been a part of the real world for
a while. But now that world is going to get a lot larger and there is so much enjoyment ahead of you. I hope that you
found something, or many things, that excite you. I was fortunate enough to find something that I did not even know
existed before I went to college and have been very lucky to be able to pursue this love. That is my hope for you—that
you have found something that excites you every day (or at least the great majority of days). Something that makes
you want to get up in the morning and sleep well at night.
And then, there are the really important things: your relationships. Your current families and your future families should
always be the most important cares in your lives. It is odd, but these are sometimes the individuals that we neglect.
Remember how important they are to you and tell them often.
You have a very wonderful gift—you are just beginning and the future is yet to be written. But let me tell you that time
goes fast and the older you get, the faster time goes. In most great novels, the first line is often the most memorable.
So don’t relax too long—get started. Take and give back. Give and ask for advice. Be kind and gentle but also strong in
your convictions. But most of all, have fun and help those around you to do the same.
Have a great ride and Go Cougs!

Dear WSU Graduates:
Congratulations on your commencement from the administrative professional staff of Washington State University!
As professional staff at WSU, the driving motivation in our work—and one that gives all of us great satisfaction—is your
success. We know the effort you put into your academics, the late hours of studying, the tests, and the projects. You
also gained friends for life, met professors who inspired you, and earned a degree from a University that will carry you
as far as you wish to go. We feel proud and honored to have helped you and your fellow Cougars achieve that success.
As you head into the world beyond WSU for a career or further education, it’s customary to leave a graduate with
a quote to ponder. I give you this thought from one of my favorite authors, David Foster Wallace: “I have come
gradually to understand that the liberal arts cliché about teaching you how to think is actually shorthand for a much
deeper, more serious idea: learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and
what you think.”
We look forward to great things from you. You will always be part of the Cougar Nation, and we wish you the best of
luck in all your endeavors. Go Cougs!

To the Graduates of the Class of 2016,
On behalf of your student governments, the Associated Students of Washington State University, the Associated
Students of Washington State University Global Campus, and the Graduate and Professional Student Association, we
congratulate each and every one of you for graduating from Washington State University. It has been an honor to serve
as your advocates at such a distinguished institution.
You have grown so much as an individual during your time at Washington State University, and now you have the
most powerful tool available: a degree. Accomplishing this feat deserves a pat on the back and nothing less than
celebration. A degree from this esteemed institution comes with the responsibility to be a world class citizen in
everything you do. During your time at WSU, you have developed as an individual, a leader, and a positive member
of society. It is now your job to take everything you have experienced—the joys and challenges alike—and never stop
learning from them. The power of learning from your experiences, just like the color Crimson, will never go out of
style. WSU has fostered you, challenged you, and, most importantly, taught you what it means to be a member of the
Cougar Nation.
Washington State University is more than a great institution; Washington State University is, and will forever be,
your home. We hope that all of you retain that Cougar spirit and stay engaged with this community for the rest of
your lives.
It has been a privilege to serve all of you soon-to-be Cougar alumni, and we wish you all the best of luck in all of your
future endeavors. Once again, congratulations on earning your degree from Washington State University. As always,
Go Cougs!

Washington State University cordially welcomes all who have come to the Pullman campus for the one hundred
twentieth annual Spring Commencement to honor the graduating class of 2016. To class members, the Class of
2016, the University would like to acknowledge your accomplishments and congratulate you all.
Commencement is the special occasion where students are recognized for their academic achievements.
These achievements are reflected in their transcript, an official document certifying the completion of academic
requirements. The culmination of a student’s success at WSU comes with the arrival of their diploma, which is
mailed after the ceremony.
The first WSU commencement ceremony, held on June 24, 1897, recognized a total of eight students. Today we honor
more than 3,000 students from varying states, U.S. territories, and countries.
WSU enrolls 29,686 students statewide. This includes 20,095 undergraduates and 4,543 graduate and professional
students learning at the Pullman, Spokane, and Global campuses. At the Everett, Tri-Cities, and Vancouver campuses,
5,048 undergraduate, graduate, and professional students are enrolled. WSU is also privileged to support 10,460
first-generation college students in their academic journey. Washington State University is proud of a growing family
of Cougar alumni and is honored to celebrate their achievements.
The names of the degree recipients are called in random order as they approach the readers. Students will
be viewed on big screens as their names are read.
Names in the Spring 2016 Commencement program include May 2016 graduate and undergraduate
applicants and August 2016 undergraduates who applied by the May 2016 application deadline. The
program is not a listing of those attending the ceremony.
Appearance of a name in this program is presumptive evidence of graduation and graduation honors, but
it must not in any sense be regarded as conclusive. Notation on the University transcript remains the official
testimony of degree possession.

The University Mace, a traditional symbol of authority, will lead the processional today. The mace is carried by the
chair of the Faculty Senate with an honor guard consisting of the presidents of the undergraduate and graduate
and professional student associations. Richard Zack carries it today, accompanied by Kyle Geiger, president of the
Associated Students of WSU, and Melanie Thornton, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Association
of WSU.
Created in 1985, the two-foot-long, nine-pound scepter is cast in silver and bronze and features a globe atop a laurel
branch wrapped in a silver ribbon and inscribed with “Washington State University.” According to designer and
craftsman Tim Doebler of WSU’s Department of Fine Arts, “the globe represents the universality of education and the
quest for knowledge. Laurel crowns were presented to academicians by the ancient Greeks.”
The anvil is a symbol of forging and molding education, rather than forcing it upon students.
PHOTOGRAPHY COVERAGE
Photography and video will be available through Image Studios & After Image Visual Services. Proofs will be mailed
to each graduate’s permanent address and will also be posted online at www.gradwsu.com. DVD video of the
entire ceremony and individual digital video clips will also be available to order through the website or the
mailed proofs. Phone: 509-332-0964, email: [email protected], and mailing address: P.O. Box 8836 Moscow,

AC A DE M IC R E G A LI A
Academic regalia arose through evolution and
modification of the robes worn by medieval students,
who were usually clerics in the cathedral schools and
monasteries established by the church. As early as 1321,
a medieval statute required that all doctors, licentiates,
and bachelors wear academic gowns and hoods. Gowns
were necessary for warmth in the unheated medieval
buildings, and hoods may have been designed to cover
tonsured heads. Today, immediately after receiving a
charter, new institutions adopt a distinctive design for
academic attire expressive of their individuality.
On May 26, 1895, a group of institutional representatives
met at Columbia University to establish a uniform code
for academic regalia in this country.
The approved academic 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 with the sleeves being the principal indicator
of degree level. 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. Bachelor’s and master’s
gowns are untrimmed while doctoral gowns feature
distinctive velvet facing down the front and three velvet
bars on each sleeve.
The hood has become the colorful standard-bearer
of academic symbolism. By examining the hood, an
informed observer should be able to identify the degree
14
level, the academic field of study in which the degree was
earned, and the institution that conferred the degree.
The hood is made of the same material as the gown.
Hood length varies according to degree: bachelor’s—
three feet, master’s—three and a half feet, and doctor’s—
four feet in length and has panels at the sides. The color
or colors of the hood lining indicate the institution that
conferred the degree (crimson and gray for WSU). The
hood is trimmed or edged in a border of velvet either
two, three, or five inches in width for the respective
degrees. The border color represents the faculty or field
of study in which the degree was awarded. At WSU,
bachelor’s degree candidates do not wear hoods.
The approved cap of the academic costume is the
mortarboard or Oxford cap—a stiff board nine inches
square, placed on a soft cap and joined in a pointed
design in front and back. The color is always that of the
gown and uniformly black for the four-year degrees.
The use of velvet has been reserved for the cap of the
doctoral degree. A silk cord with a tassel made of many
threads is attached to a button in the center of the board.
A distinctive commencement rental gown for students
earning Ph.D. and Ed.D. 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 custom gown is designed with a split hood, two
silver WSU shield medallions holding the hood in place,
two WSU medallion cuff links on each sleeve, and other
embellishments.

During commencement ceremonies and other special
occasions, the president of Washington State University
wears the President’s Chain of Office. The medallion
features the WSU shield with Cougar head, and the links are
engraved with the names and dates of service for each past
WSU president, starting with George Lilley, who served from
1891 to 1892, and ending with the late Elson S. Floyd, who
served from 2007 to 2015. Blank links allow engraving of names
and service years for future presidents.
The Chain of Office was created at the request of V. Lane Rawlins,
who became president of WSU on June 8, 2000. He wore it for the
first time during his inauguration on March 28, 2001.
