Welcome!It’s my distinct pleasure to welcome you to Capella University’s virtual commencement ceremony. All of us at Capella—our board of trustees, faculty, and staff—are honored to celebrate with you and recognize the significant accomplishments of all our graduates. This unique moment in time touches all of us. While we wish we could celebrate your achievement together, I want to recognize that our coming together, virtually, is historic and meaningful.

Your academic achievements, determination, and perseverance have brought you to this point. The diplomas and certificates earned recognize new achievement as well as new responsibilities—to your community, profession, family, and to yourself. You have the knowledge, skill, and professional countenance to make your part of the world a better place and to serve as a role model for those aspiring to attain what you have.

As a participant in commencement, you join more than 90,000 Capella graduates who have gone before you. Many more will follow. Your success is a beacon to us all, and this commencement underscores the dedication and drive you showed throughout your studies. We stand together, better prepared, more focused, more deeply committed to making a difference in the future we share as a community.

As you move forward with your life and career, the support of Capella University remains with you. I encourage you to stay close to Capella through our Alumni Association and let us know about your achievements. To the loved ones of our graduates: You deserve special recognition. We appreciate the unique challenges that our learners face as well as the sacrifices required of those around them. Your support and encouragement helped make their success possible.

Commencement Speaker | Wes MooreWes Moore is the CEO of Robin Hood, one of the largest antipoverty forces in the nation. He is a bestselling author, combat veteran, and social entrepreneur. Moore grew up in Baltimore and the Bronx, where he was raised by a single mother. He graduated Phi Theta Kappa from Valley Forge Military College in 1998 and Phi Beta Kappa from Johns Hopkins University in 2001. He earned an MLitt in International Relations from Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar in 2004. He then served as a captain and paratrooper with the US Army’s 82nd Airborne, including a combat deployment to Afghanistan. He later served as a White House Fellow to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

Moore’s first book, The Other Wes Moore, provided an analysis of American stories of success and failure. It became a perennial New York Times bestseller and has been optioned by executive producer Oprah Winfrey and HBO. He has authored other bestselling books, including The Work, Discovering Wes Moore, This Way Home, and, most recently, Five Days.

Before becoming Robin Hood’s CEO, Moore was the founder and CEO of BridgeEdu, an innovative tech platform that addresses the college completion and job placement crisis by reinventing freshman year for underserved students. Moore has also worked in finance as an investment banker with Deutsche Bank in London and with Citigroup in New York. He has served on numerous nonprofit and social-impact boards and is a lifetime member of the Council of Foreign Relations.

Commencement ProgramsThis program is not an official graduation list. While every effort is made to ensure accuracy in this commencement program, printing deadlines sometimes prevent inclusion of candidates’ names or may contain the names of persons who have not yet completed their graduation requirements. Graduates are listed once for each degree and/or certificate they have earned. Therefore, multiple listing of an individual indicates they have earned more than one academic credential. Degrees and honors will be awarded only upon successful completion of all requirements. This printed program, therefore, should not be used to determine a student’s academic or degree status. The University’s official registry for conferral of degrees is the student’s academic record, maintained by the Registrar’s Office, 225 South 6th Street, 9th Floor, Minneapolis, MN 55402.

The Capella University Mace Origin and UseAt commencement, a mace symbolizes the authority of the Capella University president to award degrees. The mace precedes the president and chancel party in the ceremonial procession. Capella University’s mace has been in use since 2000. The head of the mace is a copper representation of the globe, topped by the Capella University emblem and motto. The globe is supported by a carved wooden shaft, is nearly three feet in length, and weighs four pounds.

In medieval times, the mace was a fighting weapon effective at penetrating armor in battle. Composed of a shaft adorned with a heavy head studded with blades, the mace came to be associated with the protection of the sovereign rulers of England and France and was carried by the king’s sergeant-at-arms and other royal bodyguards. As long-range weapons were developed, such as the long bow and the musket, the mace became a ceremonial object.

In the 13th century, the mace was featured in processions of city mayors and other dignitaries, and academic institutions began to use the mace in the pageantry of ceremonial occasions. Today, the British House of Commons and the U.S. House of Representatives have official maces as do most universities and colleges in the United States and abroad.


Academic Regalia Origin and UseThe academic regalia worn today originated in the Middle Ages. The distinctive gown served to set the faculty and students apart from other citizens. Until after the Civil War, students at most American universities wore caps and gowns daily. They varied in design until they were standardized by the American Intercollegiate Commission in 1894. Bachelor’s gowns were to be made of worsted material with pointed sleeves; master’s gowns of silk with long, closed sleeves; and doctor’s gowns of silk with longer sleeves, faced with black velvet from neck to back, and with three velvet bands around each sleeve above the elbow. Hoods are made of the same materials as the gowns, the length varying with the degree. The lining of the hood identifies the highest degree-granting university by its colors. Capella University’s regalia colors are red and black.

The border of the hood indicates the academic disciplines in which the degree is earned:

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (PhD—all disciplines)

Royal blue Philosophy PROFESSIONAL DOCTORATE, MASTER’S, BACHELOR’S DEGREES, AND CERTIFICATES

Drab BusinessLemon yellow TechnologyLight blue Education and CounselingPeacock blue Public Service Leadership and Human ServicesApricot NursingSalmon pink HealthGold PsychologyCitron Social Work

Academic HonorsMany of our graduates are wearing colored cords to signify that they are honors recipients. They have earned this distinction by maintaining a high grade point average and by completing other requirements for university honors.

Baccalaureate degrees with honors are conferred upon students who have earned the following grade point averages:

• summa cum laude, 3.850–4.000 GPA (gold cord)• magna cum laude, 3.750–3.849 GPA (silver cord)• cum laude, 3.500–3.749 GPA (cardinal cord)

Master’s degrees with honors are conferred upon students who have earned a grade point average of 3.850 or higher. These graduates are wearing a bronze and gold double cord.

FlexPathAlthough they do not wear honors cords, our FlexPath graduates should be commended on their outstanding achievement. Capella’s Academic Recognition Policy is founded solely upon achievements in grade point average, which is factored with an A-F grading system and a course’s credit value. Because FlexPath is competency based, direct assessment, and self-paced, it has neither A—F grading nor fixed terms (which standardizes academic credit). So even though FlexPath requires strong academic performance, learners in this delivery model are not eligible for formal academic recognition.

Military HonorsIn recognition of their service to our country, active-duty and veteran military-affiliated graduates may wear a red, white, and blue military cord with their regalia. This cord was created by Jostens and was introduced for the first time at Capella’s Winter 2016 commencement ceremonies.

Please join us in thanking these graduates and their families for their service and sacrifice.

Omega Gamma, Sigma Theta Tau InternationalCongratulations to the graduates of the Omega Gamma chapter of Sigma Theta Tau, International. Membership is by invitation only. Omega Gamma chapter is a part of Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI). Membership invitations are extended to baccalaureate and graduate nursing learners who demonstrate the values of Sigma Theta Tau and excellence in nursing scholarship.

On behalf of the Omega Gamma Chapter, we applaud you for achieving this prestigious honor.
