Information for Guests & Graduates


THE SEALWest Virginia University’s seal was adopted by the WVU Board of Regents on June 15, 1869. The center of the seal includes an outline of the campus (then only Woodburn Circle), hills behind the buildings to reflect the institution’s stability, and a rising sun to indicate its prosperity.

The motto in the inner circle in Greek translates to: “Add to your faith virtue and to virtue knowledge” (from 2 Peter 1:5 in the King James Bible). The outer circle in Latin translates to: “Seal of the West Virginia University. Established 7 February, 1867.” The Regents’ original, handwritten resolution adopting the seal is located in the University Archives in the WVU Wise Library.

THE MACEThe mace is a symbolic tradition that originated during the Middle Ages. The ornamental staff of authority is brought to the platform by the University Marshal who, to signify the beginning of the ceremony, taps it thrice and places it in the holder. The mace used in official ceremonies at West Virginia University was handcrafted by a WVU professor. It represents the official authority of the University president and precedes him or her at academic ceremonies, including Commencement and inaugurations. When the president is not in attendance, smaller batons are used to signify the designation of authority.

MARSHALSThe tradition of academic marshals comes from storied English universities. The Grand Marshal is the chief protocol officer who coordinates the ceremonial traditions of Commencement, including the processional and recessional. The Grand Marshal is also responsible for the school’s relics, including the mace and batons. University marshals are typically members of the faculty body. Schools and colleges may also select their own faculty and student marshals to help facilitate their individual ceremonies.

ACADEMIC PROCESSIONAL AND REGALIAThe sequence of the processional is as follows: members of the platform party, deans, faculty, degree candidates, honored guests, and presiding officer, such as the University president or provost. The history of the academic regalia worn today at American college exercises dates back in its essential features to the Middle Ages. The oldest universities of northern Europe evolved from ecclesiastical institutions, and during the early days, both faculty and students were regarded as part of the clergy. Hence they wore clerical garb, largely borrowed from the monastic dress of their day, not merely on special occasions, but as their regular costume.

The head-covering of the academic costume was developed from the skullcap worn by the clergy in cold weather to protect their tonsured heads. In the universities this skullcap acquired a point on top, which gradually evolved into a tassel. The bonnet with tassel is still worn by some; however, for the most part it has been replaced by the more familiar mortarboard.

The gown worn today seems to have been borrowed from the habit worn by Benedictine monks. No trimming is found on the bachelor’s and master’s gowns. For those holding doctoral degrees, the gown is faced down the front and trimmed on the sleeves with velvet.

Today’s hood is colored according to the scholarly field of the individual and bears, on the inner liner, the official colors of the institution that conferred the degree. The West Virginia University ceremonial regalia consists of a blue gown with blue velvet trim, a gold and blue hood, and a blue hat. This regalia is worn by members of the platform party, special guests, and members of the University administration.

allison MillernYC-based drummer Allison miller defies all boundaries bringing her individual sound to diverse types of music while preserving their stylistic authenticity. Allison goes from leading her band, Boom tIC Boom, to playing with legendary songwriting vocalists Ani DiFranco, Brandi Carlile and natalie merchant, to touring with avant-garde saxophonist marty ehrlich and legendary organist Doctor Lonnie Smith. She approaches each of these musical situations with her own stylistic identity and a creative, fresh and energetic approach. Allison was chosen as “Rising Star Drummer” in Downbeat’s 53rd and 58th Annual Critics Poll.

Raised in the Washington D.C. area, miller began playing the drums at the age of ten, studying with Walter Salb, and was soon thereafter featured in Downbeat magazine’s “Up and Coming” section in 1991. After graduating from West Virginia University she moved to new York City to study with michael Carvin and Lenny White and pursue what has become a fruitful career as a freelance drummer, composer, producer, and teacher.

Allison is currently celebrating the release of her second solo leader album, Boom tIC Boom (Foxhaven Records, march 2010). Boom tIC Boom, named one of the “top 10 Jazz Albums of 2010” by the LA times, pays homage to and is inspired by all of the important women in miller’s life. the album features pianist myra melford, violinist Jenny Scheinman, and bassist todd Sickafoose. together, they musically collaborate, creatively expounding on compositions written primarily by miller and melford. miller has been recognized by the Showtime network, which featured her music in the series the L Word, and by the US State Department when she was chosen to tour east Africa, eurasia and Southeast Asia as a Jazz Ambassador.

Allison also produced the critically acclaimed children’s album. Ask the Planet (2009). organized by the Biomimicry Institute, Ask the Planet connects environmentalism with song, while educating children about respecting the environment and learning from nature’s plan. Ask the Planet was awarded the “national Parent Award” in 2009.

In 2008 Allison founded the “Walter Salb memorial musical Scholarship Foundation” in honor of her late teacher and mentor. the foundation annually provides a promising young musician a monetary award directed toward furthering their studies in music. Passing on the tradition of jazz drumming is also very important to Allison. She is currently on modern Drummer’s 2011 Pro-panel and holds an adjunct teaching position at Kutztown University. She also gives lessons and master classes at additional universities and high schools throughout the United States. She has been featured in DRUm magazine, Downbeat, Jazz times, modern Drummer, Drummer UK, Jazziz, Yamaha All Access 360, tomtom magazine, traps, All About Jazz nY, and Female musician magazine.

Allison endorses Yamaha drums, Zildjian cymbals, Vic Firth sticks and mallets, evans heads, and LP Percussion.

Joel G. Newman

Joel Newman was elected American Feed Industry Association president in July 2004 and officially assumed his post in January 2005. He is only the seventh president in the association’s 101-year history. Joel’s prior AFIA affiliation included serving as chairman of the board and four terms as director.

Joel has over three decades of diverse agribusiness career experience. He has served in several positions, from sales to CEO leadership, in various agribusiness segments, including retail, petroleum, food processing, agronomy, and commercial feed.

Joel completed his bachelor’s degree in animal science at West Virginia University and his M.B.A. in finance at Syracuse University. He is director of the International Feed Industry Federation, headquartered in the United Kingdom. He is also an appointed member of the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture’s Agriculture Technical Advisory Committee and serves on the U.S. Delegation for Codex Alimentarius, which establishes global food safety and trade standards. He recently served on the President’s Food Safety Initiative. In 2009, Joel led the establishment of an industry foundation, IFEEDER, to fund future education and research priorities of the industry and serves as president of the foundation.

Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, AFIA is the only national trade association devoted exclusively to representing the interests of the animal feed industry and its suppliers. Membership includes feed and pet food manufacturers, ingredient manufacturers and suppliers, equipment manufacturers, and companies that supply goods and services to those agricultural sectors. AFIA’s over 500 corporate members manufacture 75 percent of the nation’s primary commercial food.
