The Ceremonial Mace - South Dakota State University
The Ceremonial Mace The Ceremonial Mace is traditionally carried by a university marshal at all formal academic occasions. The staff, which stands thirty-six inches high from top to bottom, is made of walnut with a mahogany finish. It is trimmed in 14k plated gold. At the top of the Mace is the great seal of South Dakota State University. The engraved inscription reads “South Dakota State University founded 1881.” The Mace was presented to the University as a gift from the SDSU Alumni Association and was used for the first time at President Peggy Gordon Miller’s inauguration, September 19, 1998. The Ceremonial Mace has an ancient history as a symbol of authority. In medieval times it was a studded,clublike weapon, made of iron and capable of breaking armor. It became associated with the protection of the king in France and England and was carried by the king’s sergeant-atarms. In the thirteenth century it was used for civil purposes and figured in the processions of city mayors and other dignitaries. Eventually the Mace became a symbol also for academic institutions, an emblem of order and authority in the pageantry of ceremonial occasions. The University Presidential Medallion The University Presidential Medallion, a traditional symbol of authority of the Office of the President, is a 14k gold replica of the University Seal, is three inches in diameter, and is cast as a single piece. The reverse side of the Medallion is engraved with the names the University has formally held since its inception: Dakota Agricultural College, 1884-1889; South Dakota Agricultural College, 1890-1907; South Dakota State College of Agricultural and Mechanic Arts, 1907-June 30, 1964; and South Dakota State University, July 1, 1964-Present. The University Presidential Medallion was designed by Sioux Falls artist Jurek Jakowicz and was presented as a gift to the University by the SDSU Foundation. The Medallion is part of the University’s heritage and will pass to future presidents. It is traditionally worn by the University president at important ceremonial occasions. 1 The Academic Processional The academic processional which precedes the graduation ceremonies on college and university campuses is one of the oldest and colorful customs which link 21st century education with its early origins. To signify the achievements of their students, American institutions of higher learning conduct a formal ceremony to award the appropriate degrees earned at the conclusion of prescribed study. The action of taking the degree – associate, bachelor’s, master’s or doctor’s – as well as the designation of the day itself – is Commencement. Various explanations of the term “commencement” are possible. The most likely is that centuries ago the bachelor, originally an apprentice, began his apprenticeship upon that day; and with the degree of M.A. and Ph.D., the masters and doctors commenced their work upon the day their degrees were conferred. So today, the student, having finished his/her preliminary education, sets out on a career. The academic regalia worn at Commencement is of medieval origin. The scholars of Bologna, Paris, Oxford, Cambridge, Louvain and Heidelberg dressed in a manner to distinguish themselves from the merchants and other townspeople. Since the 11th century, when the rise of the universities began, “learned clerks” robed themselves in gowns, caps and hoods, thus marking a difference between “town and gown.” By this apparel they were recognized as belonging to the teaching guild which was the Guild of the Master of Arts. In this organization the bachelor was the apprentice of the master. This relationship was the forerunner of today’s academic structure, which often includes graduate and/or teaching assistants (usually studying for advanced degrees). Generally in Europe, a professor wears the type of garment customary in the university where he/she is lecturing. In the United States our tradition differs; our professors continue to wear the gown and hood of the university where they received their highest degree. The gown, in origin, may have been simply a type of overcoat to protect the teacher from the cold in the unheated buildings; the cut or style seems to be derived from ecclesiastical attire. It has usually been black. The gowns of bachelors and masters are usually without trimmings of any sort, whereas those of doctors are faced down the front with velvet and adorned with three velvet bars on the sleeves. The cap or “mortarboard” may have come from the squarish cap worn by the masons of the Middle Ages, or perhaps was suggested by the shape of the books which occupied so much of the time of scholars. Attached to a button on the “mortarboard” is a tassel; bachelor’s and master’s are black or the color appropriate to the subject; those of doctors black or golden. The tassel is worn on the left side by those who are receiving or have received a degree. The hood, a triangular fold of cloth worn over the back of the gown, is faced with colors which denote the field of study represented by the wearer’s degree; the colors of the lining are those of the college or university from which the degree was granted. The length of the hood is correspondingly longer with each degree. The wide velvet borders extending down the front of the doctoral gown, the velvet bar on the sleeves, and the borders of most hoods are colored according to scholarly field of the wearer. The most usual of these are: At South Dakota State University the tassel color signifies the college in which the degree is earned: Agriculture and Biological Science ...................Maize Engineering .....................................................Orange Arts and Sciences, B.A. ....................................White Nursing............................................................Apricot Arts and Sciences, B.S. ......................................Gold Pharmacy ..........................................................Green Education and Human Sciences ........................Lilac 2 South Dakota Board of Regents Honorable John W.

Since growing up on the family farm in Sinai, South Dakota, he developed selfreliance, responsibility and a love of nature. Those traits have carried him to be an Eagle Scout, a college graduate, major in the U.S. Army Reserve and a respected banking executive. Following graduation from South Dakota State in 1969, Ness started a banking career as an examiner for the U.S. Treasury Department before becoming a commercial lender at Mitchell National Bank. He later became the executive vice president of First National Bank of Volga before being chosen as the president of First Dakota National Bank in Yankton. Before his arrival, a banking publication placed FDNB on its list of banks to fail that year. The bank has not only survived, it has flourished. With the help of many dedicated employees, First Dakota has become one of the largest banks headquartered in the state of South Dakota. It has become the second-largest community bank agriculture lender in the United States. Ness has guided First Dakota from a $40 million institution to a bank with assets in excess of $1.35 billion. First Dakota now has 19 branches in 14 communities, plus six loan production offices in Nebraska and South Dakota. He became the majority owner of the bank in 1995. Ness has been actively involved in the South Dakota Bankers Association, serving on its board of directors and became president in 1987-88. He has been involved in banking legislation issues on both the state and national levels. He also served on the Government Relations Council for the American Bankers Association and the Community Bankers Council. In addition, Ness has provided leadership to numerous state boards and agencies: South Dakota Investment Council, South Dakota Gaming Commission, Parks and Wildlife Foundation, South Dakota Rural Enterprise, National Music Museum, South Dakota Art Museum, Center for Western Studies, Mount Marty board of trustees, and Heritage Foundation of State Historical Society. He was named to the South Dakota Hall of Fame in 2012. As proud graduates of State, Larry and his wife, Diane, have provided scholarships. Their donation funded the Ness Division of Management and Economics. He also kickstarted the e-trading lab at SDSU through his business, First Dakota. He serves on the SDSU Board of Trustees and the SDSU Economics and Management Task Force. In 2010, he was the recipient of the Distinguished Alumnus Award in the Department of Economics. 10 GUEST SPEAKER When leaving South Dakota State in 1983, Col. Evan M. Renz, M.D., was armed with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and a commission as a medical service corps officer from the U.S. Army ROTC program. Renz’s initial duty assignment to the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg included duty as a platoon leader in 325th Infantry followed by assignments as company executive officer, battalion operations officer and company commander within the 307th Medical Battalion. Later assigned to the Army Medical Center & School, Renz served as an instructor and class adviser within the Military Science Division. In 1990, he was transferred to the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, serving in the Department of Military and Emergency Medicine and with the Counter Narcotics and Terrorism Operational Medical Support task force in support of federal law enforcement agencies. Upon earning his doctor of medicine degree at the University of South Dakota Sanford School of Medicine, Renz completed his residency in general surgery at the William Beaumont Army Medical Center. In 2003, he was assigned to the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research where he served as the chief of the Army burn flight team and assistant director. Starting in 2008, Renz served as the chief of the clinical directorate and director of the burn center leading in the design and transition into the sole burn center within the Department of Defense. He has completed fellowship training in surgical critical care and the senior executive fellowship at the Harvard University School of Government. He is a fellow in the American College of Surgeons and a member of the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma, American Burn Association, Society of Critical Care Medicine, International Society of Burn Injuries and American College of Healthcare Executives. Renz has served overseas with the Multinational Force and Observers in Sinai, Egypt, and as a trauma surgeon with Joint Task Force Bravo in Honduras, the 10th and 86th Combat Support Hospitals in Iraq, and the 115th Combat Support Hospital in the Helmand Province, Afghanistan. In 2013, Renz was selected as the Brooke Army Medical Center’s first deputy commander for acute care and assumed command of the medical center Oct. 20, 2014. His military awards include the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star and Defense Meritorious Service medal. He has been awarded the Ranger Tab, Expert Field Medical Badge, Aviator Crewmember Wings and Master Parachutist Wings. 11 10am Program COL (Dr.) Evan Renz 10am Program Jeremiah Atkinson STUDENT SPEAKER Being an active member of South Dakota State University has been the focus for Jeremiah Atkinson since he stepped on campus. Majoring in biology/pre-medicine and biochemistry was not enough for the Ramsey, Minnesota, native as Atkinson has also served as an Admissions Ambassador, community assistant, and as an undergraduate teaching assistant in anatomy and orientation for the Van D. and Barbara B. Fishback Honors College. Atkinson values his experiences with the Honors community, including leadership in the Honors College Student Organization, research opportunities and traveling to regional and national conferences. He has also been involved in the Navigators campus ministry, teaching the MCAT prep course, LeadState and various honor societies. It’s not all work for Atkinson, who has built forts in the residence halls during Hobo Day, performed in Capers variety show, heard Nobel Laureate speakers present about their research, and cheered on fellow Jackrabbits. Atkinson has interned at the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation and went on a medical mission trip to Nicaragua where he witnessed how medicine was practiced in a developing country. This work led to another research experience as part of his Spanish minor. He has been recognized as a Stephen F. Briggs Scholar and has earned Joseph F. Nelson research and Schultz-Werth senior paper awards. Atkinson also won special awards from the Fishback Honors College for Excellence in Research and the Honors ethic. Interested in both pediatrics and cardiology, he will be attending the University of Minnesota Medical School this fall. 12 HONORARY MARSHAL B.S. WESTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY, 1969 M.A. SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY, 1972 PH.D. SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY, 1978 For more than 40 years, Gregg Carlson has held a research, teaching and SDSU Extension appointment as a precision farming agronomist at South Dakota State University. His research efforts have been directed to the mathematics of applied precision agronomic recommendations. Carlson has authored or co-authored several hundred popular and peerreviewed agronomic articles and spoken at many more Extension meetings. In the early 1970s, as a U.S. Army Ranger, Carlson used the Department of Defense’s firstgeneration Global Positioning System (GPS). He taught the use of GPS technology to improve agronomic management. Carlson has taught numerous plant science courses, including the agronomic precision farming course since its beginning. He has served as the interim head of the Department of Plant Science and as the interim director of SDSU Extension. Although retired, Carlson continues to teach advanced agronomic classes. 13 10am Program Gregg Carlson, Ph.D. 10am Program Joan Hegerfeld-Baker, Ph.D. HONORARY MARSHAL B.S. SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY, 1980 M.A. SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY, 1999 PH.D. SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY, 2003 Following years of addressing food safety issues at all levels of the food delivery system, particularly at the local level, Joan Hegerfeld-Baker ’80/’99/’03 has decided to retire from her role as a food safety specialist with SDSU Extension. She has served as a leader in providing food entrepreneur workshops, webinars and videoconferences across South Dakota. She has spent countless hours consulting and working with food entrepreneurs and businesses to address food safely and regulatory issues as they move products in processing, distribution and retail food systems. She led an SDSU Extension team in creating “The Farmers Market Resource and Guidebook,” which impacts local and national markets. Baker and her colleagues produced food safety science virtual labs and the food safety scientist curriculum used in classrooms across the U.S. and internationally, reaching more than 1 million high school and college students. This program integrates STEM concepts with real-life food safety problems exposing students to food and agriculture science-related careers. Her research and work addressing the increasing demand for food safety professionals was presented at 11 national and state professional conferences and published in a nationally recognized peerreviewed journal. During her time as the food safety specialist, Baker presented at nearly 50 state and national conferences. Baker received the Distinguished Service, Meritorious Service and Extension Directors Awards from SDSU Extension and the S.D. FFA Honorary State Degree. She will continue to impact South Dakota and the nation through her many online publications, news articles, videos and educational curriculums. Baker graduated with a bachelor’s degree in health sciences from State before adding a biology secondary science education degree from Dakota Wesleyan University. After teaching high school science and serving as a Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribal health educator, Baker started her food safety career at State. She earned a Master of Education degree before working as a food safety extension educator in Southwest Minnesota. She returned to SDSU Extension in 2002 as the food safety specialist and would go on to earn a doctorate in nutritional sciences from State. 14 Conferring of Bachelor’s Degrees 10am Program President David L.

Williamson After graduating summa cum laude from State with a bachelor’s degree in English, Myrna Hennrich Williamson entered the U.S. Army. A dairy farm girl from Gregory, her decorated 28-year military career saw Williamson retire in 1989 as the senior-ranking woman in the Army with the rank of brigadier general. Her career included positions in recruiting, public affairs, assignments at the Pentagon, personnel policy development, training officers and enlisted personnel, eight years of command, and overseas duty in Germany and Korea. Her primary role in the military was training officers and enlisted personnel. In August 1977, Williamson was appointed commander of 2nd Battalion, Training Brigade, at Fort McClellan, Alabama. There, she trained 10,000 basic trainees per year. Williamson was responsible for introducing weapons training for women, integrating men and women together in basic training, and conducting basic training for eskimo women in Alaska. In 1983-84, she was commander of the Troop Brigade at Fort Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis. While there, she became the fifth woman to be selected as a brigadier general for a nonmedical post. In August 1984, she became the commanding general of the Third ROTC Region headquartered at Fort Riley, Kansas. She was responsible for overseeing training for cadets at 64 colleges and universities and 254 high schools with Junior ROTC in eight south-central states. Additionally, she conducted three ROTC summer camps for 2500 college juniors each year. When Army senior staff colleges were opened to women, Williamson was an early selectee for the Command and General Staff College, and the first woman selected for the prestigious National War College in Washington, D.C., where she was the first woman to attend the general officer CAPSTONE course. She was also part of the highly selective Senior Executive Managers in Government course at Harvard University. She received her M.A. in human relations from the University of Oklahoma. In her civilian career, Williamson has served as a business consultant, motivational speaker and volunteer. She was particularly instrumental in serving on the board of directors for the Women in Military Service for America Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C., speaking before the 40,000 attendees at its dedication. In addition to a decade on the board of the United Services Automobile Association, a $60 billion Fortune 500 insurance and banking firm, she has served on national professional and nonprofit boards, including the Association of the United States Army and the U.S. Olympic Committee on Sports for the Disabled. For these and a myriad other outstanding contributions to community and country, she was inducted into the South Dakota Hall of Fame in Chamberlin in 2012, and now also serves on that board, as well as serving since 1988 on SDSU Council of Trustees. 31 1pm Program CITATION FOR THE HONORARY DEGREE DOCTOR OF PUBLIC SERVICE Ann Schmitt 1pm Program GUEST SPEAKER College life was busy and varied for Ann (Zenk) Schmitt ’83. While graduating summa cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in health, physical education and recreation and minors in commercial economics and public recreation, she was also a four-year letterwinner with the Jackrabbits’ women’s golf team and participated in the SDSU Symphonic Band. Life has not changed much for Schmitt, now a vice president for The Walt Disney Company, overseeing the firm’s enterprise consumer payments strategy and activities. Following graduation at State, she earned a Master of Business Administration in finance from the University of Colorado and held senior roles at Citibank, U.S. Bank and MasterCard International. Schmitt then became the president and CEO of Capterra Financial, a publicly traded specialty finance company, before serving as the principal and founder of RFS, a management consulting firm focused on providing business strategy, product development and operations advice to Fortune 500 companies in North America and Europe. Schmitt and her husband, Barry, have two children: Brian, a University of Colorado graduate, and Kelly, a freshman at Creighton University. They live in Denver and are avid skiers and outdoor enthusiasts. They are active in the Vail Valley Foundation and the Creighton University Parent & Family Leadership Council. Schmitt has also been a member of the selection committee for United States Military Academy appointees on behalf of the Colorado congressional delegation. She also served on the SDSU Athletic Advisory Committee. Her connections to South Dakota State run deep as five family members hold degrees from State.

found on page 50. 50 RESERVE YOUR PERMANENT SPOT ON ALUMNI GREEN C ampuses are built brick by brick, year by year, student by student, alumnus by alumnus. South Dakota State has been built by you, made stronger by you, and we need your help to keep growing. We need your help to push the Alumni Green project over the finish line. This is your chance to put your name on the Alumni Green project – a place for you to return and a place to grow the future of SDSU. The outdoor place between the new University House and the new Alumni Center will include 5-feet-wide by 9 ½-feet tall features of the Campanile, Jackrabbit and other SDSU iconic symbols carved into original limestone from the Campanile. For a gift of at least $1,000, your name will be permanently displayed on one of these features. There are limited opportunities available, so make your commitment today to ensure your permanent spot on the Alumni Green. For generations, visitors will see the names of those individuals, families and businesses that were responsible for the spectacular area across from our famed Campanile.
