Welcome to Commencement Exercises 2014
Welcome to today’s Commencement ceremony, a time to celebrate graduates as they begin the next phase of their lives. Today we honor students
and their achievements.
Plymouth State University is a vibrant university of approximately seven
thousand students, focused on first-rate teaching informed by excellent
research and creativity and marked by engagement with the community,
region, and world. PSU faculty and staff are committed to providing innovative opportunities for active learning so that graduates are well prepared in
their fields and ready for the global arena.
Christopher Navin
This year, Plymouth State students came from 48 states and 28 countries and were engaged here and around the globe through coursework,
research, and service, led by faculty and staff members who excel. Over the
past weeks, many PSU students have been recognized for academic excellence and leadership, and we have seen their accomplishments in outstanding projects, presentations, and performances. The connections between
students and their faculty mentors will continue for decades.
Last year, over 800 students participated in a capstone experience such
as an internship or project that helped them move from the undergraduate to the professional world; these are pathways of career development.
The National Study of Student Engagement reports that PSU students have
professional experiences at a higher rate than their peers, leading to stronger résumés and positions. Last year, too, the Chronicle of Higher Education
named PSU one of the best places in the country to teach, based on educational innovation and commitment to student success. That innovation and commitment are at the heart of a PSU education. We see it with undergraduates and also with graduate students, whose excellent research already is changing the world.
In my mind, what the University does also will be measured by what these graduates will accomplish later “out in the
world”: doing good work; taking risks; being engaged with the community, region, and world; being innovative; and working
collaboratively with others to solve problems. PSU’s motto, Ut prosim (That I may serve), is to be lived. PSU’s recent Plymouth
Magazine features just a few of the young alumni who are rising in their fields and being recognized for excellence. And as
today’s newest alumni apply their knowledge to make a difference, the ripple effect will be enormous.
Today, with family and friends in attendance, we recognize each new graduate and at the same time we confirm the core of
our educational mission: their lives and continued success.
Sara Jayne Steen, President

Honorary Doctor of Science
Stephen J. Reno
Hugh Miller Herr
In his nearly 40 years working in higher education in the
United States and abroad as a senior administrator, professor,
and consultant, Stephen Reno has demonstrated his commitment to service that is reflected in Plymouth State University’s motto, Ut prosim (That I may serve).
In 2009 Reno completed a nine-year term as chancellor
of the University System of New Hampshire. He has served
as president of Southern Oregon University, and held senior
administrative posts at the University of Southern Maine and
the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom, where he
co-founded the Department of Religion.
In addition to scholarship in his academic field of comparative religion, Reno’s presentations and publications have
focused on institutional efficiency and effectiveness, governance, and strategic partnerships. These interests have led
to his serving as consultant and as chair of accreditation
teams to numerous public and private colleges and universities. He serves on the Governor’s Task Force on Education and
the Workforce and as executive director of Leadership New
Hampshire. In February of this year the New Hampshire Supreme Court appointed him as a lay member of the Judicial
Council. He is a senior associate and vice president at Penson Associates, a top research and consulting firm for higher
education clients. In 2010 he was honored with the Lifetime
Achievement Award by the New Hampshire Business and Industry Association.
Reno earned both doctorate and master’s degrees in religious studies from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from St. John’s
College, California.
A leading visionary in the research and development of biomechatronics—technology that combines human physiology with electromechanics—Hugh Herr is the director and
principal investigator of the Biomechatronics research group
at the MIT Media Laboratory. There he pioneers a new class
of biohybrid smart prostheses and exoskeletons—bionic
limbs—to improve the quality of life for people with physical
challenges.
After losing both legs in a climbing accident in the White
Mountains 30 years ago, Herr spent the following decades
designing and re-designing prototypes of a prosthetic device
that would mimic the action of biological limbs, ultimately
working with his team to invent the world’s first bionic foot
and calf system: the BiOM.
In his March 2014 TED Talk, in which a dancer performed
on stage for the first time since losing one of her legs in the
Boston Marathon terror attack, wearing a new bionic leg designed by Herr's team at the MIT Media Lab, Herr said, “Bionics is not only about making people stronger and faster. Our
expression, our humanity, can be embedded into electromechanics.”
Herr holds a joint appointment at MIT’s Program in Media
Arts and Sciences and the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology. He is also the founder and chief technology officer of BiOM, Inc., which markets the BiOM bionic
prosthetic device. He is the author or co-author of over 80
peer-reviewed manuscripts and patents, chronicling the science and technology behind his many innovations.
Herr received his BA in physics from Millersville University
of Pennsylvania, an MS in mechanical engineering from MIT,
and a PhD in biophysics from Harvard University.

Message from the PSU Alumni Association
Amy Begg '97
Chair, Plymouth State University Alumni Association
Today marks the beginning of your life as a member of the 31,000-strong Plymouth State University Alumni Association. You are now part of an exceptional
group of individuals who are making a difference in education, business, industry, science, health care, public service, and many other fields.
The adage, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know,” is based on the notion of community. Your community of classmates, friends, family, and professors helped you as you wrestled with core concepts in your course of study.
Who makes up your community after graduation? All of those same people,
plus the PSU Alumni Association, which offers meaningful ways to stay connected with your friends, professors, and other alumni.
I encourage you to make the most of your Plymouth State experience by
getting involved with the Alumni Association. Alumni live the Plymouth State
motto, Ut prosim (That I may serve), by helping each other with careers and
connections, and they give back to students through internships, as mentors,
and with their philanthropic support. When we, as alumni, take an active role
with our alma mater, we ensure that Plymouth State’s excellent academic and
co-curricular programs continue to be accessible for all.
Congratulations, 2014 graduates!

Distinguished Teaching
Lecturer Award
Art Faculty Kathi J. Smith
Since joining the Department of Art in 2008, Kathi Smith has
earned a reputation for being a supportive, devoted instructor who sets the bar high for her students in order to prepare
them for a career in fine arts. Her courses include painting,
drawing, watermedia, and two-dimensional professional
presentation practices. Encouraging cross-curricular connections and the integration of experiences outside the classroom, Smith and her students can often be found in Boyd Hall
drawing specimens in the biology labs, in the Silver Center for
the Arts making large-scale perspective drawings, or in the
Karl Drerup Art Gallery writing and reflecting on the current
exhibition. Smith’s reputation and career are rapidly growing.
She shows her own work regionally and nationally, and has
participated in five artist residencies in the past four years.
Distinguished Graduate
Teaching Award

The Symbols of Learning
The Academic Procession is a descendent of European religious processions, which began to include teaching faculties
in the Middle Ages, when universities were closely associated
with the medieval church.
The order used in today’s procession has evolved through
many years of practice at Plymouth State University. At the
front of the line is the marshal, 2014 Distinguished Teaching
Award recipient Mark Fischler, who will carry the University
mace, a symbol of authority and unity. The marshal will be
followed in the procession by two flag bearers, the president
of Plymouth State University, members of the University System Board of Trustees, the provost and vice president for academic affairs, honored guests, speakers, vice presidents, and
senior class officers.
This group is followed by the faculty, who march in order of
rank. The faculty is followed by the degree candidates.
Academic Regalia—The caps, gowns, and hoods seen today
have evolved from costumes worn during early religious processions to distinguish church and university members from
the laity. In present times, the attire serves to indicate, by
style and adornment, the chief academic degree attained, the
major field of study, and the college or university attended by
the wearer.
The Gown—The modern academic costume worn in the
United States is based on an intercollegiate code established
in 1895. Most gowns are black, but more American colleges
and universities now permit the wearing of college colors.
The associate’s gown and the bachelor’s gown are the same.
They have long, pointed sleeves, and are untrimmed and
worn closed. The master’s gown, worn either open or closed,
has long, crescent-shaped sleeves. The doctoral gown has
black velvet panels down the front, and velvet bars on bellshaped sleeves.
The Cap—The customary head covering is either the mortarboard or the Oxford cap. The tassel on the mortarboard cap
may be black or of a color indicating the degree. The doctor’s
tassel is usually gold in color. The tassel is worn over the left
front quarter of the mortarboard once the degree has been
awarded.
The Hood—The hood, which drapes over the back of the
gown, carries the greatest symbolism of all the components
of the academic costume, and dates back to the twelfth century when it was intended as a head cover or shoulder cape.
Its length and width denote the wearer’s highest academic
achievement. The color of the velvet trim reveals the wearer’s
major field of study. Linings, which are exposed in the center
of the hood as it lies over the back of the gown, indicate the
colors of the degree-granting institution.
The Mace—The tradition of the academic mace began in the
late fourteenth century when two ancient instruments, the
royal scepter and the battle mace, were combined to form a
symbol of authority of the rector of a university. Today, the
academic mace, along with the presidential medallion, signifies that the president of the university is the temporary
embodiment of the power, authority, and autonomy vested
in the institution.
The faculty marshal carries the academic mace at public
events such as commencement exercises and convocations
as a symbol of the special stewardship authority and trust reposed in the faculty for the curriculum and academic affairs
of the university. The PSU mace was designed and created by
Professor of Sculpture Philip Lonergan in 2004.
The Presidential Medallion—The Presidential Medallion
is the official insignia of the President’s Office and is worn
on ceremonial occasions. Created when Plymouth State became a university, the medallion embodies parts of the official seal of the University, showing pictorial representations
of Rounds Hall, the Old Man of the Mountain, the lamp of
enlightenment, and our connection to the outdoors.
The Cord and Sash—Cords, medallions, or colored tassels
may be worn by some members of academic honor
societies to signify their achievements. The standards for
this distinction are set by each honor society. The cords
are worn around the neck and drape down the front of
the gown.
Special intertwined green and white cords may be worn
by 20 graduates today. This indicates that they were
selected as the class of 2014 top 20 seniors by a committee
comprising faculty and staff from a variety of academic
disciplines, based on leadership on campus, community
involvement, and quality of character.
Members of several student organizations may also wear
honor cords in recognition of their service to the Plymouth
State and greater Plymouth communities.
Plymouth State’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
students who have participated in Lavender Graduation,
a ceremony honoring LGBT students and acknowledging
their achievements and contributions to the University,
may wear a rainbow cord.
Several of PSU’s international students have chosen to
wear sashes displaying the colors and symbols of their
home countries. This year PSU is graduating students
from Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Peru, Romania, Saudi
Arabia, and Sweden. In addition, graduating students who
have studied away during their time at PSU, whether it
was a semester abroad, a domestic exchange, or a facultyled course trip, will have the opportunity to wear a navy,
green, and gold intertwined cord.
The Colors—In regalia, academic disciplines are noted
by color. These colors can be found on undergraduate and
master's tassels and on master's and doctoral hoods on
the velvet edging.

Academic Gonfalons
Gonfalons, which are banners hung from crosspieces on poles, have descended from medieval Italy where they were used as
symbols of state or office. They have been adopted by many universities and colleges to enhance the ceremonial nature of the
commencement exercises. Plymouth State has created its own gonfalons with the University colors of dark green and white on
the outer panels and the inner panel of each representing one or more academic fields of study.
