GREETINGS
FROM THE
CHANCELLOR
We are living in difficult economic times. Most of us have not before
seen double-digit unemployment rates, declining home values and
increasing reliance on social services agencies and nonprofit agencies.
In recent weeks, though, we have seen positive perspectives about the
economy and the future. Such encouraging news about the days ahead
could just as easily be about the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
students we are recognizing at today’s Commencement ceremony.
We all can tell stories about these University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
graduates. Stories about the long hours of studying; the need for many to
balance the demands of family and jobs with classes and exams; and the
setbacks and successes along the way. I am sure they have been looking
forward to this important day and what lies ahead.
And, fortunately, the economy is recovering and we are in a better position than we were a year ago.
The National Association of Colleges and Employers says the job market for the Class of 2009 will
have 8 percent more entry-level opportunities compared to 2008. Information like that is tracked by
UWM’s Career Development Center, www.cdc.uwm.edu – a resource that I hope our graduates will
use in the years ahead.
To all family and friends with us today, I thank you for attending our ceremony.
To all of our graduates, I offer on behalf of the UWM faculty and staff our congratulations and best
wishes. There is a world of opportunity out there that needs the insights and intelligence gained here at
the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I know you will use that knowledge well.
Sincerely,
Carlos E. Santiago
Chancellor

STORY
OF THE
UWM SEAL
Official ceremonial activities and actions of the University of Wisconsin–
Milwaukee nearly always make use of the UWM seal. It can be found on all
significant university documents. The key elements of the UWM corporate seal
are the university’s logo in the center and the years above the word
“Milwaukee.”
The logo was redesigned in 1999 to more distinctly represent the university.
Distinguishing elements of the redesigned logo include the different typefaces
used for the letters “UW” and “M,” which reflect the diversity inherent at UWMilwaukee, and the overlapping of the “W” and the “M” to show the connection between the University
of Wisconsin System and Milwaukee’s university. The two wavy banners below the letters “UWM” show
movement and suggest a continuum of education throughout one’s life. The banners also represent waves
and emphasize how Milwaukee and the campus are located near water. The nimbus, appearing behind the
logo, symbolizes educational enlightenment.
The three years noted in the corporate seal are 1849, 1885 and 1956.
1849 represents the era that higher education began in this state. Wisconsin became the 30th state in the
union on May 29, 1848. Less than two months later, on July 26, the University of Wisconsin was
established under provisions in the new state constitution. One of the initial steps to prepare students for
university was enrolling young people in preparatory classes. On February 5, 1849, 17 boys arrived for
prepatory classes in space borrowed from the Madison Female Academy. This date is referred to in
Wisconsin education as Founders Day. Then, in autumn 1850, the first University of Wisconsin freshman
class assembled in Madison for first-year instruction as part of a four-year college curriculum.
1885 denotes the beginnings of public higher education in Milwaukee at the Milwaukee State Normal
School. The Wisconsin legislature in 1880 approved expanding higher education by establishing nine
normal schools around the state. The first students in Milwaukee were admitted in 1885. In the
beginning, curriculum was limited to a two-year teacher-training program. As its educational mission
evolved, the school’s name changed. It became the Milwaukee State Teachers College in 1927 and the
Wisconsin State College, Milwaukee, in 1951.
1956 signals the beginning of the modern era of public higher education in Milwaukee. During the late
1940s and early 1950s, many proposals to expand higher education offerings in Milwaukee were
considered. The successful proposal approved in 1955 combined the previously mentioned Wisconsin
State College, Milwaukee, and the Milwaukee office of the University Extension Center, an auxiliary of
the University of Wisconsin in Madison. The new university was considered a part of the University of
Wisconsin and classes at the new University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee began in the fall of 1956.

A QUICK HISTORY
OF
UWM
The name has changed—several times—but the roots of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
go back to 1885 when Wisconsin established the Milwaukee Normal School, a two-year teacher’s
college.
Some important dates:
1885 Milwaukee Normal School opens to train teachers in downtown Milwaukee at 18th & Wells
1892 University of Wisconsin offers day and evening classes in Milwaukee
1909 With the completion of a new Milwaukee Normal School building (today’s Mitchell Hall)
the campus moves to its present location
1920 The University of Wisconsin Extension Division, formed in 1907, takes over responsibility
for UW instruction in Milwaukee
1927 Normal school becomes Milwaukee State Teachers College with 4-year degree
1928 UW Extension opens Milwaukee Center downtown
1951 Milwaukee State Teachers College becomes Wisconsin State College with liberal arts
degrees
1956 WSC & UW Milwaukee Extension merge to form UWM
1961 The 8.6-acre Milwaukee-Downer Seminary site, including 3 buildings, is purchased
1963 UWM offers first PhD degree in mathematics
1964 UWM buys Milwaukee-Downer College buildings, expands campus
1965 UWM purchases the 6.3-acre Milwaukee University School campus
1970 Three residence towers, collectively called Sandburg Halls, open for student housing
1988 UW System designates eight Centers of Excellence at UWM
1995 Division of Outreach and Continuing Education Extension (now the School of Continuing
Education) moves to new offices in the downtown Plankinton Building
2000 UWM awards diploma to 125,000th graduate;UWM named among top 102 public doctoral
research universities in nation
2001 Governor announces honors academy at UWM
2002 Helene Zelazo Center for the Performing Arts opens. Fourth tower added to Sandburg
Residence Halls.
2005 Men's basketball team advances to Sweet 16 in NCAA Tournament.
2006 $100-million Campaign for UWM announced. Pavilion athletics complex and Kenilworth
Square mixed-use student housing facility open. Men's and women's basketball teams both
advance to NCAA Tournament.
2008 Campaign for UWM is completed more than a year early with $125 million pledged to the
university.
By the turn of the century, the school had expanded to offer programs in the liberal arts and science
as well as education. By the ’30’s, the school, now called Milwaukee State Teachers College, was a
national leader in innovative teacher education, with 1,500 students. A student from the 1916-17
academic year, Golda Meir, became prime minister of Israel from 1969-1974.
After World War II, the College was authorized to award four-year bachelor degrees and, in 1951
became Wisconsin State College. Five years later it combined with the Milwaukee Extension
Center, which had been the local outreach program of the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee.
Together, the two institutions became the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, with its focus on
academic research, teaching and community service.
Since its founding, UWM has expanded its programs so that today its 14 schools and colleges offer
84 undergraduate programs, 49 masters and 29 doctoral degrees.

CHANCELLOR’S MEDALLION
The medallion worn by the Chancellor in today’s ceremony was commissioned by the UW–Milwaukee
Alumni Association. The medallion is a representation of UWM’s seal, based on a rendering by alumnus
John Thiel of Thiel Design. The neck ribbons are in university colors: black and gold.
THE MEANING OF ACADEMIC REGALIA
Academic gowns were worn as early as the 12th century. Their primary purpose then was to protect the
wearer against the elements. When accepted styles of dress began to change in the 16th century, those in the
legal and medical professions as well as scholars in the universities retained the traditional dress of gowns
and hoods. The origin of the cap is unclear.
Styles and colors had no particular meaning until 1895 when an “Intercollegiate Code” established design
and color criteria. The bachelor’s gown has long, pointed sleeves and is designed to be worn closed. The
master’s gown has an oblong sleeve open at the wrist; the rear part of its oblong shape is square cut, the front
part has an arc cut away. The gown may be worn open or closed. The doctor’s gown has velvet down the
front with three bars of the same velvet across the sleeves. It may be worn open or closed.
The academic hood is the visual representation of the academic degree. The level of the degree is indicated
by the length of the hood and the width of its velvet edging, with the doctoral hood being the largest. The
color of the lining of the hood denotes the school conferring the degree, the color of the velvet binding
denotes the field of study. The color denoting the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is gold, dark blue is
the color denoting philosophy; therefore, all recipients of the Doctor of Philosophy degree (Ph.D.) at UWM
wear hoods lined with gold and trimmed in dark blue velvet.
Other trim colors that you may observe among the masters candidates and the faculty are:
BLUE VIOLET—Architecture
WHITE—Art
BROWN—Art/Dance/Drama
BEIGE—Business Administration
LIGHT BLUE—Education
ORANGE—Engineering/Computer Science
PEACOCK—Human Resources and Labor Relations
LEMON—Library & Information Science
PINK—Music
APRICOT—Nursing
GOLD—Science
CITRON—Social Work/Criminal Justice
Honors: The gold cord, worn by some of the bachelor’s degree candidates, identifies those students who
have been awarded Commencement Honors for high academic achievement throughout their career at
UWM. An asterisk (*) is directly after the names of bachelor’s degree candidates awarded Commencement
Honors in this program.
The pewter-colored stole recognizes undergraduate students receiving the Honor’s Degree. This special
diploma is awarded in recognition of outstanding academic achievement to students who have completed the
requirements of the University Honors College and achieved an overall grade point average of 3.5 or above.
Marshals wear the gold cap and gown. They are responsible for leading the degree candidates in the
processional marches and for keeping order throughout the ceremony.
