Rogers joined UCM in September 2000, and during the first decade of his service to the university he was the Director of Forensics, coaching and advising the Talking Mules speech and debate team until 2010 . He resumed his work with the Talking Mules after chairing the former Department of Communication, 2010-2014, and has continued his involvement with the team since then .Colleagues in the School of Communication, History and Interdisciplinary Studies commended Dr . Rogers for his dedication to the

field of speech and debate, noting that he truly cares about students and their success at UCM . His commitment to students, coupled with a competitive spirit as a speech and debate coach, regularly contributes to his teams winning state and regional awards, and they often place at the national level against students at the most prestigious universities in the country . A testament to his positive influence as an educator, Dr . Rogers’ students go on to excel in their professions, many of them at the highest level of their careers, having benefited from his passion for his work which greatly extends beyond the classroom .During his tenure, Dr .

Andrews, and Trinity College-Dublin, and they have a long history of success . They have won the Montgomery Cup 17 out of 22 times . Along with these tours, Dr . Rogers has had opportunities to serve as a lecturer discussing the educational value of debate before students and faculty in places such as the UK . Additionally, he has worked to build scholarships to assist these and other speech and debate students, regardless of their financial situation .In addition to his successes abroad, Dr . Rogers’ strong record of forensics coaching at UCM has included 11 Missouri Intercollegiate Forensics Association State Champions in Overall Sweepstakes, 13 State Debate Champions, and 10 Individual Events State Champions .

THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDALLION

THE UNIVERSITY MACE

The University of Central Missouri’s Presidential Medallion was introduced during the inauguration ceremony for UCM’s 16th president Dr . Roger J . Best on April 18, 2019 . Designed by staff in the Office of Integrated Marketing and Communications, the nickel silver, antique finish medallion features as the central focal piece a three-inch in diameter round medal that includes the university’s academic logo with

the year of the institution’s founding in 1871, and the motto “Education for Service .”  Other components include two 1 .5-inch diameter university seals, and curved banners that are linked together and list the names of each university president who served the institution since its founding and their years of service . The medallion is to be worn at ceremonial functions including commencement ceremonies .

The University Mace was designed and produced for the inauguration of Dr . Ed Elliott as president in 1985 .

As a historical note, maces were first used during Roman times . The first mace was a weapon-like staff, composed of a group of reeds surrounding an axe . Mace bearers would walk in front of the person in authority . Maces were later used in England, again as symbols of authority in the court systems . The staff was carried by a judge or transported for him by a mace bearer . As the American court system developed from the English courts, the mace also became a symbol of authority in America .

The University of Central Missouri’s mace is made of native walnut and bronze, and is topped with a somewhat stylized flame, which, like light, stands for truth and knowledge . Beneath the flame are inlaid disks of cardinal and black, the university colors . Continuing down the mace, a large sphere is decorated with carvings of major buildings on campus . Holding the ball are simple finger-like formations, which stand for service . The reeding, or half-columns, on the mace symbolizes tradition in education and togetherness – small parts working together to support the whole . Bronze books and mortarboards with tassels are symbols of academia and education, and bronze casts of Missouri represent UCM’s home state and the citizens it serves . The handle of the mace is spiraled, which denotes growth and progression . The mace, completed with a hand-rubbed oil finish, weighs approximately 14 pounds .

The base for the staff is bronze and weighs close to 20 pounds . It is adorned with centennial medallions and Missouri mules in harness, denoting the reliable, workaday university mascot .

When not used for ceremonial purposes, the mace stands in its base in the Office of the President . The University Mace is carried at ceremonial functions by the university marshal, who precedes the university president in the processional . By tradition at the University of Central Missouri, the university marshal is the president of the Faculty Senate .

The construction of the mace was a team effort . Board of Regents member Edna Mae Whitsitt contacted Rich Monson of the Art Department for design assistance . Monson developed several designs, and a committee consisting of Ophelia Gilbert, Alice Gower, Monson, Norma Van Zee, and Whitsitt, selected the design to be used . Jack Landers, faculty member in the Department of Manufacturing and Construction, built the walnut core of the mace . Monson and Richard Allman, Art Department, cast and assembled the bronze pieces . Robert Tompkins, Department of Physical Education, carved the frieze, and Joseph Albrecht, Manufacturing and Construction, fashioned a bronze stem to join a base that was cast by Monson and George Sample, Art Department . Additional assistance was provided by art faculty members Jerry Miller, Harold Reynolds and Billi Rothove .

ACADEMIC REGALIA

The colors of representative fields are:

Academic regalia of robe and hood are believed to have had their beginnings at the English universities of Oxford and Cambridge during the 12th and 13th centuries . The hoods are a carryover from the times when the monks, who operated the universities, wore them to protect their shaved heads in winter or to collect alms when worn as shoulder capes .

Use of the academic robe came to the United States in 1754 with the founding of what is now Columbia University . In 1895, a commission of university officials adopted a universal code of design and color for academic garb . It has undergone various revisions, the latest in 1960 . Styling of robes varies for the bachelor’s, master’s, education specialist and doctoral degrees and the width of border and length of hood increase with the type of degree . The color of the velvet border of the hood indicates the field of study, while the lining designates

the colors of the institution granting the degree . The gown for the bachelor’s degree has pointed sleeves and is worn closed . The gown for the master’s degree and the education specialist degree has an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist with the rear part of its oblong shape square cut and the front part with an arc cutaway . It may be worn open or closed .

The doctoral gown is faced with black velvet and has three bars across the bell-shaped sleeves . These facings and crossbars may be of colored velvet to represent the degree, and agree in color with the binding or edging of the hood . The tassel for the cap may be of gold thread .

The Honors CollegeStudents in The Honors College engage in high-impact learning in a collegial environment that adds significant value to their academic and social experience at UCM . Specifically, Honors College students pursue a rigorous course of study that includes small-sized, honors-only general education courses and interdisciplinary colloquia, as well as a minimum of two semesters of a foreign language . All Honors College students are also required to collaborate closely with a faculty mentor on a capstone undergraduate research or creative project in their respective areas of academic expertise . The second oldest program of its kind west of the Mississippi, UCM’s Honors College program began in 1958 with just 12 students . Today’s graduates of The Honors College thus become part of a long tradition of education for excellence and service at the University of Central Missouri . The Honors College graduates are:
