Congratulations to you, our newest graduates! We welcome your families and friends who have anticipated this day — this triumph — with immense pride. And we welcome you as our newest alumni.

I’d also like to welcome our Special Recognition Alumni, graduates of the University who were unable to attend their original commencement ceremonies. Some of you were serving our country abroad, while others had personal or professional commitments that kept you from the ultimate celebration of your time at college. We are excited you’ll have the opportunity to celebrate with us today, while also exemplifying the success our graduates go on to achieve.

You might have heard that this is MSU Denver’s 50th anniversary year, which means that you, our students, have the unique distinction of graduating during our golden anniversary. Having served as president of this incredible institution for 11 years, I know firsthand that many of you have discovered golden opportunities during your time here: a high-quality education guided by professors who care deeply about your personal and professional success.

Since 1965, MSU Denver has evolved from a small, downtown college with only six majors into Colorado’s preeminent urban university. Today, we offer 244 degree options across three colleges, including three master’s degrees. We have built the Student Success Building, Hotel and Hospitality Learning Center, and our new Regency Athletic Complex was recently honored with a Downtown Denver Award from the Downtown Denver Partnership. We have been recognized nationally for everything from our services for veteran students to the number of Latinos we graduate and our leadership in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education.

And your alma mater is not done yet! In 2017, we will add master’s degrees in business administration and health administration and open our Aerospace and Engineering Sciences Building, which will house the Institute for Advanced Manufacturing Sciences with a corresponding undergraduate degree. We’re expanding our online offerings as well, including programs that can be pursued exclusively online, like our Master of Social Work and new certificates in health data science and wellness coaching.

We also are making a name for ourselves for developing public-private partnerships that benefit our students and the community. A recent example is our partnership with the internationally known Detroit Institute of Music Education, which allows their students to take our music courses taught by University faculty. We anticipate starting a similar program in Denver and potentially expanding to other cities.

While these are significant achievements that highlight the value of your MSU Denver degree, there is nothing that makes me prouder than what you have accomplished. Please accept my congratulations on joining the more than 85,000 Roadrunner alumni who are transforming their communities and our world!

Sincerely,

Stephen M. Jordan, Ph.D.President, Metropolitan State University of Denver

mSu denver: tranSforming LiveS, CommunitieS and HigHer eduCation

As Metropolitan State University of Denver’s 50th anniversary comes to a close, the year’s significant accomplishments assure that our transformative educational impact will continue into the future.

Foremost, the 2015-16 academic year saw the College of Business earn accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Only 755 business schools in 51 countries and territories – fewer than 5 percent of the world’s business programs – have earned AACSB accreditation, the hallmark of excellence in business education.

Our anniversary also saw on Oct. 8, 2015, the groundbreaking of the University’s Aerospace and Engineering Sciences Building, which will house the Institute for Advanced Manufacturing Sciences and an undergraduate degree that integrates STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) disciplines.

While the workforce needs of Colorado’s aerospace industry will be met through this new institute, MSU Denver’s Hospitality, Tourism and Events Program continues to collaborate with the growing sectors of the state’s hospitality industry. A new Beer Industry Operations Program has been added and a degree in Event and Meeting Management will be offered in 2017. Meanwhile, the success of our Hotel and Hospitality Learning Center is unparalleled: The SpringHill Suites Denver Downtown, run in partnership with Sage Hospitality, provides a training ground for our students and was named the No. 1 hotel near the Pepsi Center by USA Today in its “10 Best” list.

Our 50th anniversary year also saw approval of new master’s programs in business administration and health administration as well as an innovative partnership with the Detroit Institute of Music Education that will offer DIME students our Music Department’s curriculum in performance, songwriting and music entrepreneurship taught by our faculty.

From its opening in 1965 as a high-quality, high-value and yet accessible college with 1,189 students to its evolution into a university with more than 20,000 students, MSU Denver has never lost sight of its promise of transformation for underrepresented and first-generation students. With a 37 percent ethnic-minority student population, MSU Denver overwhelmingly leads Colorado’s four-year institutions in diversity. And the University prides itself on having a population that is 32 percent first-generation college students who, after graduation, will help transform their families and communities. We are also proud of our ranking by Military Times as one of the top 50 colleges in the U.S. for veterans in its “Best for Vets: Colleges 2015” report.

MSU Denver will continue as an agent for change and transformation for the next 50 years, creating boundless possibilities for our students, our graduates and Colorado.

aCademiC regaLia

Academic attire is modeled after monks’ clothing from the Middle Ages, when college faculty and students were members of religious orders. In England, the faculty of many colleges and universities still wears gowns, hoods and caps in the classroom.

In the early 20th century, colleges and universities throughout the world adopted guidelines for the design and colors of academic regalia. An institution may design and register special attire for its administrators and graduates, but it must conform to certain standards. Once registered, the design and color combination may not be duplicated by other institutions.

The bachelor’s gown is most often black and has long sleeves that taper to a point in the back. It is always worn closed.

The gown signifying the master’s degree also is usually black, but may be worn open or closed. It features oblong sleeves that hang below the wrist, tapering to a square cut with a cutaway arc.

Although usually black, the doctoral gown is sometimes seen in colors – often gold, purple, blue or red. The gown may be worn open or closed. The opening of the gown is faced with velvet, and three velvet chevrons run across its bell-shaped sleeves. The velvet facing and chevrons may be black or the color representing the graduate’s field of study.

The hood varies in length and shape according to the degree it represents: the shortest and smallest signifies a bachelor’s degree, and the longest and widest signifies a doctoral degree. The velvet bordering the hood represents the graduate’s field of study.

The satin lining of the hood, each a specific design, represents the college or university at which the individual earned his or her degree.

The Oxford cap, or mortarboard as it is better known, completes the attire. Those holding graduate degrees usually wear black tassels on the Oxford cap, but those holding doctoral degrees may wear tassels of gold thread and may also elect to wear a four-sided or eight-sided velvet tam instead of the Oxford cap. Some universities have designated the Cambridge cap – a large, soft beret – for their administrators and those who have earned a doctoral degree at that institution.

At MSU Denver, bachelor’s candidates wear colored tassels on the Oxford cap to represent the academic department from which they earned their degrees. Master’s candidates wear a hood with the representative color.

In addition to his academic regalia, President Stephen M. Jordan wears the University’s chain of office, a visible symbol of his authority as the institution’s leader.

preSident’S award reCipient

Jennifer Nava BelloBachelor of Arts in Modern Languages (Spanish) with Elementary Education Licensure, Summa Cum Laude

Jennifer Nava Bello almost gave up.

She had come to a crossroads, one of those moments that define a life. She’d already been through years of “abuse, tears and failure,” and now her husband had abandoned her with two young children. She had no roof over her head and couldn’t see a way forward.

“I was in a dark place,” Nava Bello recalls, “but I saw an opportunity to become something better, not only for myself,

but for my children. Metropolitan State University of Denver offered me a chance to start over, and going to school changed who I am.”

Nava Bello blossomed at MSU Denver. She majored in modern languages with an emphasis in Spanish and took a minor in elementary education with licensure. She attacked her classwork like someone who understands the value of a second chance, resulting in a perfect 4.0 GPA.

But her stellar grades only tell part of the story. “My GPA is more than just a number,” she says. “It represents my drive, passion and commitment to becoming the best I can be. Each ‘A’ represents hours of hard work. Yet with every hour, I knew I was becoming a better student, a better learner and, most importantly, a better member of my community.”

After graduation, Nava Bello plans to make an impact on her community as a fifth or sixth grade teacher.

Associate Professor of Spanish Maria Rey-Lopez, Ph.D. is excited by what her pupil will bring to the classroom.

“… I know she will become a role model for future generations,” Rey-Lopez wrote in her recommendation letter. “She will not only be an example of professionalism, but also an example of an exceptional human being. She will awake in her students a passion for learning and studying, a passion for life, which has been and will be her personal and unique gift for all of us.”

After Nava Bello finishes her student-teaching assignment at Little Elementary in Arvada, she hopes to work at a school where most students speak Spanish, believing her language skills will allow her to connect on a deeper level with those students and their families.

Her long-term goal is to earn master’s and doctoral degrees and teach at the college level where she feels she can have an even greater impact by educating the next generation of teachers. But for now, she is excited about the prospect of continuing in an elementary school classroom.

Nava Bello’s message is one she thinks can be very valuable to students.

“I come from a background that gave me every excuse to give up, but I didn’t. Life can be challenging, but despite everything you go through, you can rise above it.”

How does one succeed in college while raising seven children, working full time and struggling with deafness in both ears?

For Jennifer Ann-Marie Sands, a first-generation college student, it came down to determination.

“When I set a goal, I don’t let anything sidetrack me,” she says. “I’m a very determined person. I’ll admit there were some tears, and not much sleep, but I wasn’t going to let anything stop me.”

And nothing did. In fact, Sands finished her degree early. She completed the program in two years and nine months, twice requesting special approval to take more than the maximum of 18 credits per semester. And she still managed to keep a 3.95 GPA and graduate Summa Cum Laude.

Beyond her academic achievements, Sands is active in several student groups, serving in leadership roles as president of the Health Care Executives Club and vice president of graduate relations for the Golden Key International Honour Society.

She also works full time at a physical therapy clinic, where she spends half of her week as an intern and the other half as a regular employee. And she still finds time to volunteer in the community as well with the March of Dimes, several Parent Teacher Organizations and others.

How does Sands balance all of this?

Her secret weapon is a great support system. She credits her family, in particular, for helping her achieve her goals.

“This is not just my accomplishment,” she says. “It’s my family’s accomplishment. I couldn’t have done it without a very supportive husband, amazing parents and my kids helping along the way.”

Sands takes on her next big challenge this fall, when she begins graduate school. She’ll study accounting with an emphasis in fraud detection. After her master’s degree, she plans to test for the Certified Fraud Examiner certification in hopes of one day becoming a health-care fraud investigator, perhaps with the FBI.

Sands targeted this field from the beginning of her studies at MSU Denver in 2013. She felt that it would give her the opportunity to use five years of accounting skills from a past job and apply them in the growing field of health care. She hopes that tackling health-care fraud issues will make a significant impact on people’s lives.

For now, despite some urgency to get her career started, Sands is trying to enjoy the major milestone that is graduation. She brought a large contingent of people to the ceremony to celebrate, and confesses that the achievement will be a little sweeter enjoyed among family and friends – the people who understand what she has overcome to get here and who supported her on the road to success.
