Lyrics by Francis Scott Key Music by John Stafford Smith

O say, can you see by the dawn's ear-ly light what so proud - ly we

hailed at the twi-light's last gleam - ing? Whose broad stripes and bright stars thro' the

per - il - ous fight o'er the ram - parts we watched were so gal - lant - ly

stream-ing? And the rock - ets' red glare, the bombs burst-ing in air, gave

proof thro' the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star - spang - l'd

ban - ner yet wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Dr. Judith M. Iriarte-GrossChemistry Professor and Director of the Women in STEM Center, MTSU

A native of Washington, D.C., Dr. Judith M. Iriarte-Gross is nationally known for encouraging girls and women in the sciences and has been recognized with numerous awards and accolades. She is a professor of Chemistry and director of the Women In STEM (WISTEM) Center at Middle Tennessee State University. Before joining MTSU in 1996, she worked as a chemist for the FDA and as a chemist and lab manager in the plastics industry.

During 1990–96, Iriarte-Gross volunteered with Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) conferences in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. After moving to Murfreesboro, Iriarte-Gross started the first EYH in Tennessee, which has served over 7,550 girls. EYH introduces middle and high school girls to role models and mentors in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) through hands-on, girls-only workshops. Girls from Tennessee, as well as southern Kentucky, northern Alabama, and Atlanta, have attended the EYH events at MTSU. Tennessee is now home to

seven EYH conference sites (Chattanooga, Columbia, Gallatin, Maryville, Memphis, Morristown, and Murfreesboro), while Knoxville has a planning committee in place.

Iriarte-Gross has been a principal investigator (PI) or co-PI on six National Science Foundation (NSF) awards, including a 2007 grant titled “A Dissemination Project to Increase Girls Raised in Tennessee Science (GRITS).” The National Girls Collaborative Project (NGCP) then named her lead of the GRITS Collaborative Project for the state of Tennessee in 2008. In 2009, she was appointed director of the WISTEM Center at MTSU, the first such center in Tennessee for girls and women in STEM. Iriarte-Gross also is faculty advisor of MTSU’s Women In Science and Engineering (WISE) student organization and WISE living-learning community. In 2014, she and four other STEM faculty at MTSU were awarded an NSF ADVANCE grant for the study “A Catalyst to ADVANCE the Participation and Advancement of Women in Academic STEM Careers at Middle Tennessee State University.”

In 2016, Iriarte-Gross was named a fellow of both the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Additionally, she received the 2016 William E. Bennett Award for Extraordinary Contributions to Citizen Science from the National Center for Science and Civic Engagement and the 2017 Dreyfus Foundation/American Chemical Society Award for Encouraging Women into Careers in the Chemical Sciences. In 2018, Iriarte-Gross was selected as the ACS Local Section Outreach Volunteer of the Year and was given the Career Achievement Award at MTSU.

A former Upward Bound student, she received the TRIO Achievers Award for Washington, D.C., in 2010. She is an active member of the American Chemical Society, serves on both the Nashville and national Women Chemists Committees of the ACS, and was named to the ACS Leadership Advisory Board.

Mace and Chain of Office


Originally a medieval knight’s weapon, the mace evolved into a symbol of royal scepters in various crown jewel collections. Large versions of the scepter have come to represent the power and authority of institutions such as our University. The mace measures 50 inches in length and is made of Tennessee cherry wood embellished with sterling silver and lapis lazuli. The Tennessee flower, the iris, denotes the public the University serves who, by their loyalty, give it strength and power. The leaves form a crown to symbolize the ennobling achievements of our graduates. Tennessee fresh water pearls, the official state gem, suggest the inestimable value of inquiring minds. The streamer on the wooden shaft carries the names by which the University has been known since its founding. The finial at the base of the mace is a stylized nut, representing the seed from which springs the mighty tree of those committed to lifelong learning.

The chain of office worn by the president is made of sterling silver. The lapis lazuli gems, mounted on scroll shapes, represent the colleges within the University. The knotted components depict the interdependence of knowledge and the various academic programs of MTSU. The lapis lazuli and sterling represent the University colors of blue and white. The Great Seal of the State of Tennessee embellishes the medallion suspended from the chain, representing the University as part of the Tennessee higher education system.

These unique emblems of authority were designed and crafted by Professor Klaus Kallenberger, formerly of the Art Department. The mace and chain of office are a generous gift to the University from the MTSU Foundation.

MACE BEARERFriday, May 3, 2019

Dr. James Hart earned a B.A. in Mathematics with High Honors from Hendrix College and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Mathematics, both from Vanderbilt University. He joined the Department of Mathematical Sciences at MTSU in 1991 and has taught courses ranging from college algebra to graduate seminars, including the calculus sequence, linear and abstract algebra, Boolean algebra, and topology. Hart has directed seven master’s theses and currently serves as the department’s graduate program coordinator.

Hart was one of the recipients of the 2017–18 MTSU Foundation Outstanding Teacher Award, and he places great importance on actively engaging his students in the learning process. Hart trains upper-division and graduate

Mace and Chain of Officestudents in the science and art of formal reasoning and proof through one-on-one interaction, small group work, and peer-to-peer disputation. To help in this process, he created self-paced materials for several upper-division courses. One set of these notes was recently published in the Journal of Inquiry-Based Learning in Mathematics.

Working closely with two MTSU colleagues, Dr. Jeremy Strayer and Dr. Sarah Bleiler-Baxter, Hart helped develop and pioneer the use of the inquiry-oriented Pathways to Calculus precalculus materials at MTSU and remains active in the mentoring and professional development of precalculus instructors. He has used insights gained from this experience to create inquiry-based materials for the undergraduate courses Abstract Algebra I and II and for the graduate course Sets and Logic. In 2018, Hart joined the Mathematics Teacher Education Partnership Research Action Group, a network of educators around the country who are working to transform calculus instruction. He is currently developing an inquiry-based Calculus I course that builds upon Pathways to Calculus and embodies the principles and research of this group.

Morning

Dr. Preston MacDougall was born in Toronto and received his college education in Chemistry at McMaster University in nearby Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. After earning his Ph.D. in 1989 under the supervision of the late R. F. W. Bader, for expanding the scope of Bader’s Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules to include predictions of chemical reactivity, MacDougall received post-doctoral fellowships to conduct computational chemistry research at Texas A&M University and then in the Materials Science Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory. In 1994, he began his academic career in the Department of Chemistry at MTSU. MacDougall attained the rank of professor in 2008 and served as interim department chair during the 2010–11 academic year, when funding for the new Science Building was secured from the Tennessee legislature. He has taught in the Honors College since 1999 and continues to do independent research, most recently in machine learning. MacDougall supervises the research of undergraduate and graduate students. He also explores creative writing as a pedagogical tool in chemical education.


for the demands of being a college student while also challenging them to find their voices as writers. Critical thinking and self-expression are the heart of her pedagogical approach. Challenging her students to explore various texts and assignments, to understand the need to challenge themselves in the process, often produces profound experiences for both McClure-Wade and her students.

To teach is to learn, and McClure-Wade is constantly learning from her students, which helps her hone her pedagogical approach, all with one goal in mind: building students’ confidence and preparing them for academic success. As a member of the English Department, McClure-Wade remains committed to professional growth. Her pedagogy development requires quite an investment of time, as she reads and responds to multiple major writing assignments from each student. Pushing students to take on “outside-of-the-box” assignments, leading breakout sessions at department meetings, serving on committees, and participating in various professional development workshops all contribute to a vibrant, challenging, and deeply rewarding career.

MacDougall is a recognized leader in public relations on behalf of the chemistry profession and also in expanding the public’s opportunities for high-quality informal science education. He is the current chair of the Nashville Section of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and a founding member of the organization’s Tennessee Government Affairs Committee, the driving force for creating the Tennessee Legislature’s STEM Education Caucus. MacDougall has served as the volunteer director of the Tennessee Junior Academy of Science since 2014. He also offers hands-on chemistry activities designed to both excite and educate children during National Chemistry Week. MacDougall was the first volunteer for the annual state-wide Tennessee STEAM Festival initiated by Murfreesboro’s Discovery Center.

Afternoon

Ms. Lori McClure-Wade is a True Blue Raider, having completed both her undergraduate and graduate degrees at MTSU. For 19 years, she has devoted herself to her teaching and her students. Every semester, McClure-Wade works with up to 100 students in both composition and literature classes. Passionate about her students, McClure-Wade prepares incoming freshmen


Academic RegaliaThe black gowns and colorful hoods traditionally worn in Middle Tennessee State University commencement ceremonies have their origins in the Middle Ages.

A statute in England in 1321 required that all “Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors” wear gowns. In the second half of the 14th century, the statutes of certain colleges forbade “excess in apparel” and prescribed the wearing of a long gown. Scholars were often clerics as well, and they adopted costumes similar to those of monastic orders. While the special attire covered rank or social status, thus lending a uniform look to ceremonies, it also served another purpose: warmth in drafty, unheated buildings.

As the universities began to pass from the control of the church, colors often were added to the somber robes and hoods, eventually signifying the degree and specialization.

The cut of the gown, which is usually black, also varies with the degree held—pointed sleeves for the bachelor’s degree; long, closed sleeves with a slit in the arm for the master’s degree; and round, open sleeves for the doctoral degree. While the bache lor’s and master’s gowns have no ornamentation, the doctoral gown is faced down the front with velvet and has three velvet bars across the sleeves.

At Middle Tennessee, hoods are worn by holders of the master’s and doctor’s degrees, with the latter being longer. Hoods are lined with the official colors of the university that conferred the degree; thus holders of degrees from MTSU wear hoods lined in blue and white. The velvet edging on the hood, and often the velvet edging on the gown, represents the candidate’s major academic field. Often holders of the Doctor of Philosophy degree (Ph.D.) will be seen with regalia in dark blue instead of a color symbolic of their discipline. Further, the velvet bars on the sleeves may be either black or the same color as the discipline color of the hood. Colors associated with various subjects follow:

Agriculture - MaizeArts, Letters, Humanities - White

Commerce, Accountancy, Business - Drab Criminal Justice - Midnight Blue

Economics - CopperEducation - Light Blue

Fine Arts - BrownHome Economics - Maroon

Journalism - CrimsonLaw - Purple

Library Science - LemonMusic - Pink

Nursing - ApricotOratory (Speech) - Silver Gray

Philosophy - Dark BluePhysical Education - Sage Green

Science - Golden YellowSocial Work - Citrine

The black cap, either a mortarboard or a tam, is customarily worn. There is no general rule for the position of the tassel. In practice at Middle Tennessee State University, the tassel is worn on the right. It may be shifted to the left after the degree is awarded. Men may remove their caps during prayer, the playing of the alma mater, and the commencement address.

Undergraduate honor graduates are distinguished by the stoles added to their gowns: gold for those graduating summa cum laude, 3.90 to 4.0 (overall grade point average); silver for magna cum laude, 3.75 to 3.89; and white for cum laude, 3.50 to 3.74. Graduates with University Honors wear blue and white cords and have completed at least 31 hours with a 3.25 average in the Honors program, a curriculum of special classes designed for superior students. Those who have maintained a minimum average of 3.65 in the Honors program are graduating with Distinction in University Honors. Honor graduates and persons graduating with University Honors, along with those who have been commissioned as second lieutenants in the United States Army, are listed in this program after the degree recipients.

Some academic honor societies and programs may provide cords, ribbons, medallions, or lapel pins designating the achievement and involvement of their members.

Since 1993, graduates of the University Honors College have received the official Honors medallion in recognition of their final thesis defense and completion of special requirements of the college. The medallion itself is a replica of the official seal of the University Honors College and depicts a lighted torch, three Ionic columns, and a lightning bolt. Respectively, these symbolize the search for truth and knowledge, the stability and unwavering commitment to pursuing knowledge, and the flash of enlightenment or creative energy.


Academic BannersThe banners carried and displayed at commencement represent the University; its nine colleges (Basic and Applied Sciences, Behavioral and Health Sciences, Business, Education, Liberal Arts, Media and Entertainment, Graduate Studies, University College, and University Honors); Walker Library; and the Faculty Senate. Art Professor Janet Higgins, her student Kristi Baughman, and Darrell Callis Burks, designer in Creative and Visual Services and 2000 B.F.A. graduate, designed and executed the banners. The colors used in each banner represent disciplines within the colleges. The University seal appears in the center of each banner, symbolizing that the whole is greater than any of its parts.

BANNER CARRIERSSaturday, May 4, 2019

College of Basic and Applied SciencesDr. Martin Stewart is an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry. He began his career at Middle Tennessee State University in 1979, after earning his Ph.D. at the University of Georgia and completing a post-doc at the University of Pittsburgh. The president of the Tennessee Academy of Science in 2001, Stewart continues to serve on the Executive Board as chair of the Necrology Committee. He spends much time in archival libraries collecting material for a history of the Department of Chemistry at MTSU and carries the CBAS banner for Archibald Belcher and Jeannette Moore King, two original faculty of Middle Tennessee State Normal School when it began its first fall term on September 11, 1911.

Military veteran students are distinguished by specially designed red stoles and red, white, and blue cords in recognition of their admirable service to their country.

Experiential Learning Scholars are distinguished by blue, silver, and white cords. These scholars completed EXL-designated hands-on learning courses, an off-campus service activity, an on-campus service activity, and a portfolio of reflections on their EXL activities. The EXL program provides students with opportunities for hands-on experience, valuable networking, and an opportunity to explore career paths through real-world experience.

MT Engage Scholars are distinguished by royal blue, white, and gold cords. These students completed MT Engage-designated courses that promote active learning and integrated their learning by reflecting on connections across disciplines and between their

academic and cocurricular experiences. MT Engage students showcased their integrative learning in an ePortfolio that documented their community and campus involvement as well as the academic knowledge and skills they gained during their time at MTSU.

International students may wear colorful sashes that represent their country of origin. Each sash symbolizes, in color and design, their country’s flag.

Most American colleges and universities have adopted a uniform code. However, at any academic gathering, costumes often are worn that are not described by these guidelines. Some of these may be from foreign universities, others from American institutions that have preferred to remain with the European tradition of allowing each school to determine its own costume. Silver medallions worn by faculty denote 15 years of service, and gold medallions represent 25 years.
