S chool C olors
The history behind how BGSU began using
brown and orange as its school colors dates
back to 1914. Dr. Homer B. Williams, the
University’s first president, gathered a group
of people, including Dr. Leon L. Winslow,
from the industrial arts department, as a
selection committee for the school’s new
colors. While on a trolley ride to Toledo,
Dr. Winslow sat behind a woman wearing
a large hat adorned with brown and orange
feathers. He was so impressed by the color
scheme that his committee recommended
to the Board of Trustees they approve the
combination of burnt orange and seal
brown.
U niversity M ace
The mace, used as a weapon in medieval
times, is employed today on many university
campuses as a symbol of office. The mace
of the president of Bowling Green State
University bears symbols and figures
representing three related categories of
human culture: areas of learning, the
vicissitudes of culture, and the waxing and
waning of human life.
Designed and created by Harold
Hasselschwert, an assistant professor of art,
the mace weighs six and one-half pounds
and is 27 inches long. The mace is engraved
and enameled silver, creating a moiré effect
as a backdrop for figures representing the six
branches of learning: drama, art, literature,
music, science and commerce.
T he C olors D istinctive
the D egrees
Approximately 500 square inches
of silver were used in the mace which is
adorned with ancient and medieval symbols.
At the base are engravings representing
the areas of learning: jester’s staff, quill and
scroll, lyre, palette and brushes, the atom
and the balance.

T he P endant
A silver pendant containing the inaugural
symbol and University seal is worn by the
president of Bowling Green State University
on ceremonial occasions.
Academic Dress
Academic regalia originated in medieval
European universities during the 14th
century when commencement ceremonies
were associated with religious ordination.
Universities in Europe and the United States
continue the tradition of wearing special
robes, caps and hoods for formal academic
occasions.
The Gown
The typical academic gown is black.
Bachelor’s and master’s degree gowns are
plain, although sometimes worn with honor
cords or medallions. The doctoral gown is
trimmed down the front and around the
sleeves with bands of velvet, either in black
or a color associated with the graduate’s
field of study. Sleeve styles also vary with
the degree: pointed sleeves on the bachelor’s
degree gown, short sleeves for the master’s
degree and round, full sleeves for the
doctoral robe.
The Hood
Graduates holding master’s or doctoral
degrees typically wear a hood that fits
around the neck and drapes down the
back of the robe. The hood lining displays
colors associated with particular schools.
Chevrons in a second color indicate a
dual emphasis, while velvet edging on the
hood corresponds to the graduate’s field of
study. The doctoral hood is longer than the
master’s degree hood, and trimmed with
additional velvet panels.
The Cap
The standard cap worn with academic
regalia is the mortar board, usually
the same color as the gown. Bachelor’s
degree candidates at Bowling Green State
University wear a colored tassel to represent
their academic areas.

Horn is a 1983 graduate of Bowling Green State University with a Bachelor of Science in education. Her
33-year career has spanned over various businesses and organizations, including politics, education, health
care, consulting and finance.
Upon graduation from BGSU, Horn worked for Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, before returning to
teaching. In 1988, she completed a Master of Health Administration degree from George Washington
University School of Business in Washington, D.C., and pursued a career in health care. She served as the
director of strategic planning and business development for the Inova Healthcare system, a five-hospital
system in Fairfax, Virginia, where she focused on growing the system’s hospital and ambulatory care
practices. She then joined the national health care strategy and business development consulting practice
of Ernst and Young, where she assisted hospital systems across the country in expanding their services and
improving operations for patients.
Today, Horn works in the municipal finance industry in New York City for Assured Guaranty, a bond
insurance company that assists issuers such as states, cities, airports and hospitals lower their cost of
financing while ensuring that bondholders get paid if such entities are unable to pay the debt on their
bonds. In her current role of chief surveillance officer of public finance she is responsible for monitoring
a $360 billion insured portfolio and has represented the firm in several high-profile distressed credit
negotiations such as City of Detroit and Puerto Rico.
Horn resides in New York City and Washington, D.C.

D. C raig R athbun ’83
D. Craig Rathbun began his educational journey at Bowling Green State University, earning a bachelor’s
degree in business administration in 1983. After graduating, he was employed by Ernst & Whinney’s (Ernst
& Young) Management Consulting Group, specializing in production and operations. He later joined his
family’s business, Venture Packaging, as operations manager.
The lessons learned at a closely held corporation served as a sound basis for two other future companies.
In 1999, as a partner in Encore Plastics, Rathbun, along with his siblings and a friend, grew a startup company from seven employees to more than 300 within three manufacturing facilities. Encore
manufactures paint sundry products for national retailers such as Lowe’s, Menards, Sherwin-Williams and
Walmart.
In 2009, the partners financed a renewable energy company called SUREnergy. The goal was to find
alternative ways to reduce Encore Plastics’ carbon footprint. Today, SUREnergy has evolved into providing
grant writing, sourcing, installation, maintenance and consulting services to several national and
international companies.
Rathbun is currently a member of the Firelands College Alumni Board and, in 2016, received a College
Alumni Award from BGSU.
Rathbun is part of a family with proud Falcon ties. His father, Willard, and two siblings, Tim ’84, ’86 and
Jodi, all attended BGSU. His wife, Jennifer ’85, and two of his children also attended BGSU.
