Honoring James Madison
Learned Institutions ought to be favorite objects with every
free people. They throw that light over the public mind
which is the best security against crafty and dangerous
encroachments on the public liberty. They are nurseries of
skillful Teachers for the schools distributed throughout the
Community. They are themselves Schools for the particular
talents required for some of the public Trusts, on the able
execution of which the welfare of the people depends. They
multiply the educated individuals from among whom the
people may elect a due portion of their public agents of every
description; more especially of those who are to frame the
laws; by the perspicuity, the consistency, and the stability,
as well as by the just and equal spirit of which the great
social purposes are to be answered … What spectacle can be
more edifying or more seasonable, than that of Liberty and
Learning, each leaning on the other for their mutual and
surest support?
To William T. Barry, 4 Aug. 1822, DLC: Madison Papers
Graduation 1910
James Madison University is the only university named
for James Madison, the “father of the U.S. Constitution” and
fourth president of the United States. In many ways the connection to Mr. Madison’s legacy is much deeper than the name only.
As we prepare to celebrate commencement, it is important for us to bring Mr. Madison to life for our university community.
For acknowledging Madison is not intended as a history lesson. We believe that understanding Madison and his achievements
is understanding liberty and its foundations. And if each graduate can leave this university with that awareness crowning their
outstanding JMU education, then liberty can be multiplied wherever they may go.
President James Madison himself expressed this notion well when he wrote to Congress that when well-instructed graduates
returned to their communities, “… sources of jealousy and prejudice would be diminished, the features of national character
would be multiplied, and greater extent given to social harmony.” Most JMU students are Virginians; about one-third comes
from throughout the United States and from more than 80 countries. So, if what James Madison wrote is true for this the
graduating class of 2016, James Madison University will proudly send nearly 4,500 agents of liberty and social harmony to the
Commonwealth of Virginia and throughout the world.
Founding James Madison University
Over one hundred years ago, James Madison University came into being when Virginia Governor Claude A. Swanson
signed the legislation creating the State Normal and Industrial School for Women in Harrisonburg. The bill that had been
passed by the General Assembly four days earlier was a result of a political compromise that created not only today’s James
Madison University but also what-would-become the University of Mary Washington.
Early in the 20th century, the General Assembly, responding to a growing interest in public higher education in Virginia,
authorized the establishment of a new normal school for the education of women teachers. (“Normal” schools were so named
because they were supposed to set the standard – or “norm” – for excellence.) The idea of a new college was highly attractive to
communities throughout the Commonwealth. There was widespread competition in the state with 28 cities and towns making
a case to be the site for the new school.
Citizens of Harrisonburg lobbied long and hard to acquire the new normal. Townspeople held a major public rally in
January 1908 to show their support for the institution. Legislators visiting the city later were lavishly wined and dined and given
a demonstration of the prowess of the Harrisonburg Fire Department.
When the 1908 session of the General Assembly began, the state was ready to appropriate funds for the new normal. The
debate among the legislators quickly boiled down to three finalists: Fredericksburg, Harrisonburg and Radford. State Senator
George B. Keezell and Delegate P.B.F. Good of Rockingham County led the efforts for Harrisonburg in the State Senate and
House of Delegates. Radford was eliminated from the debate but the two houses of the legislature split on their choices. The
State Senate backed Harrisonburg and the House of Delegates supported Fredericksburg. A compromise was reached allowing
the creation of two new normal schools – one in Harrisonburg and one in Fredericksburg.
The bill passed both houses on March 10, 1908, with Gov. Swanson signing the bill on March 14 that created one State
Normal and Industrial School for Women in Harrisonburg and one in Fredericksburg.
The James Madison University Seal
The official seal of James Madison University is based upon the baronial 13th-century
coat of arms of the Madison family. The shape of the shield signifies its historic periods and
the symbols are original. The mantling and insignia are black upon a silver shield with two
black chevrons, each charged with a golden star. The torch in the crest position signifies
enlightenment, and the motto, “Knowledge is Liberty,” is derived from quotations by James
Madison.

When Sen. Keezell and Del. Good returned to Harrisonburg, they were greeted by a throng of local residents at an
enthusiastic reception. The Harrisonburg Daily News said Harrisonburg had not given such a warm welcome to anyone since
President William McKinley visited the city in 1899. The welcome rally included a parade through the city and a public
meeting at a packed Assembly Hall in the courthouse. At the meeting, Harrisonburg Mayor O.B. Roller called it “the proudest
moment in the history of Harrisonburg.”
The Harrisonburg school began classes on Sept. 30, 1909, with an enrollment of 150 and 15 faculty members in two
buildings on a 50-acre campus. Today’s James Madison University has over 20,000 students, more than 2,500 faculty and staff
and a 721-acre campus with more than 100 buildings.

The University Chain of Office
and University Medallion
The chain of office is made of sterling silver and two gems — a golden citrine and a purple amethyst — reflecting JMU’s
school colors. The gems are set in the circular sterling silver medallions that are incorporated into the chain. One medallion
is textured like bluestone to symbolize the older buildings on JMU’s campus. The other medallion features a brick texture to
reflect the university’s newer buildings. The university medallion that hangs from the chain features the seal of James Madison
University, the university’s name and the date of its founding, 1908. The design for the JMU seal is based on the coat of arms of
the Madison family and contains the words “Knowledge is Liberty,” which are based on quotations from James Madison.

Visitors and the Commonwealth of Virginia to confer degrees and lead the university. The medallion is symbolic of the office
of president of the university. The chain and medallion were created in 1999 by Ronald J. Wyancko, retired professor of art and
art history. He also created the university mace nearly 30 years ago. Creation of the institutional chain and medallion was made
possible through a gift from the JMU Parents Council.

metals for ceremonial use. Since then, the mace has been used in ceremonial processionals as an ensign of authority.
The mace is made of sterling silver, 14 karat gold, rosewood and ebony. It weighs four pounds and stands 37 inches high.
The upper node of the mace is textured to symbolize the blue limestone used on the original buildings on campus. The lower
node represents the brick used on newer buildings. The JMU crest is at the top of the mace. The butt cap of the mace is inlaid
with the name of the university and the date of its founding. There are five ebony designs around the main node of the mace:
President James Madison, the State Seal of the Commonwealth of Virginia, a book representing the search for knowledge, the
flame of eternal truth and Wilson Hall representing the JMU campus.

Tradition of the Academic Costume
2016 Outstanding contributors
The academic costume of cap and gown worn by the faculty and students
in today’s commencement had its origin in the universities of the Middle Ages.
Reference to exacting detail on wearing the academic costume can be found
as early as 1321. Although the exact reason for the original use of the costume
is not known, it is presumed that there was a very practical reason as medieval
scholars probably wore the gown and hood for warmth in their unheated
buildings. Students of that era wore their gowns daily, setting them apart from
fellow citizens and giving rise to the term “town and gown.”
The Student Speaker is an honor bestowed to a fellow senior through an application and audition
process, run by the Student Government Association. Mia Brabham is graduating cum laude after
In the United States, caps and gowns were worn daily by students at most
American universities until the time of the Civil War. These varied in design
until they were standardized by the American Intercollegiate Commission in
1894. Later guidelines on academic costumes were established by the American
Council on Education.
The sleeves of the gown indicate the degree held by the wearer. Closed,
pointed sleeves are used for the bachelor’s gown; oblong sleeves, open at the
wrist, for the master’s gown; and bell-shaped sleeves, with three velvet bars,
for the doctor’s gown. Gowns for the bachelor’s and master’s degrees are
untrimmed. For the doctoral degree, the gown has full-length velvet panels in
front, either black or of a color symbolizing the wearer’s field of learning.
The hood is a separate ornamental fold hanging down the back of the gown. An outside band of velvet on the hood varies
in width according to the degree: two inches for the bachelor’s; three for the master’s; and five for the doctor’s. The color of the
band and other velvet on the doctoral hood symbolizes the field of learning. The length of the hood also varies with the degree,
with the longer the hood, the more advanced the degree. (Bachelor’s and master’s degree holders often do not wear their hoods.)
The lining of the hood carries the colors of the college or university conferring the degree.
The cap worn is usually the mortarboard, decorated with a tassel, in a color symbolizing the field of higher learning.
Standard colors are used to represent the various academic disciplines. Some of the colors that will be seen in today’s ceremony
indicate the following fields: White: Bachelor of Arts (BA), Masters (MA), Masters, Teaching (MAT), Graduate Student
Association (white cords); Gold: Bachelor of Science (BS), Masters (MS); Drab Brown: Bachelor of Business Administration
(BBA), Masters, Business Administration (MBA); Brown: Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), Masters, Fine Arts (MFA); Pink:
Bachelor of Music (BM), Masters, (MM); Light Blue: Masters of Science in Education (MSEd); Citron: Bachelor of Social Work
(BSW); Apricot: Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN); Peacock Blue: Masters, Public Administration (MPA); Kelly Green:
Masters, Physicians Assistant Studies (MPAS) (– December only at JMU); Sage Green: Masters, Occupational Therapy (MOT)
(– December only at JMU); Silver: Bachelor of Individual Studies (BIS); Orange: Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE)
Gold tassels may be worn by holders of doctoral degrees, and some master’s tassels are white. For the doctor’s degree, the cap
is velvet. Candidates for degrees wear tassels on the right side of the mortarboard and then shift them to the left in unison when
the degree is conferred.
Honor Cords and Stoles
Graduates are permitted to wear cords, stoles, medals and pins on their
majoring in Media Arts and Design and minoring in Creative Writing. Her creative work has been
published in JMU's literary magazine, Gardy Loo, and she has interned with E! News and Smithsonian

involved with the Class of 2016 Ring Committee, Student Government Association, University Program
Board, and as the Public Relations and Recruitment Chair of JMU's chapter of National Society of
Collegiate Scholars. She was a First YeaR Orientation Guide and also served as an Alternative Weekend
Break leader. One of her favorite JMU experiences has been working at Career and Academic Planning for the past three years.
Mia hopes to one day direct, write, produce, and host her own talk show. She wants to inspire and change lives. Mia would like to
thank her mom and dad for their constant love and support.
The class of 2016 valedictorians meet the criteria for class valedictorian with the highest grade
point average in their class, 100 or more hours of coursework at James Madison University, and an
average of 14 hours earned each regular semester of attendance.
Alexandra Deal is a biology major from Chesapeake, Va. She has been an executive member of
Beta Beta Beta, the Biological Honor Society, for the past two years, and she has been a representative
in the Student Government Association for the past 4 years. Alexandra has received a Jeffery E. Tickle
Scholarship, and is a STEM Second Century Scholar. She works in a research lab in the biology
department studying gene misregulation in Alzheimer’s Disease. She also spends time volunteering at
RMH. After graduation, Alexandra will be attending medical school at the University of Virginia.
Ryan Stees is a mathematics and music composition double major from Harrisonburg, VA. During
his time at JMU, he has been active in mathematics research. He has participated in three National
Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates programs, given regular conference
presentations, and published his honors thesis, which he completed under the guidance of Dr. Laura
Taalman. Additionally, Ryan has studied euphonium and baritone with his father, Professor Kevin
Stees, and has performed as a member of the Brass Band, Wind Symphony, Symphony Orchestra, and
Symphonic Band at JMU as well as a number of chamber ensembles. After graduation, Ryan will pursue
a Ph.D. in mathematics. He aspires to teach mathematics at a university while continuing his pursuits as
a composer and performing musician.
Faculty Speaker Every year the senior class nominates faculty members who have made a significant
contribution to their Madison experience. The selected professor is given the honor to share their words
of wisdom and inspiration to the graduating class.
Dr. Bill Evans earned his bachelor’s degree in religion from Wofford College and went on to
obtain his master’s of divinity at Duke University. He earned his educational specialist and doctoral
degrees in counselor education at the University of South Carolina. Evans served in the United States Air
Force (Air National Guard) as a Chaplain from 1984 until retiring in 2010 as Brigadier General.
His open door policy represents his endless giving to the university. JMU’s psychology students
recently rated him the “most accessible professor” in the department. In 1994, Evans came to JMU’s Psychology Department
and teaches various developmental and leadership courses. He is also the Faculty Advisor for several service organizations at
JMU. Evans is a co-author of three books: Inspiring Leadership, Thriving!, and Becoming a Community Counselor.
commencement gowns.
Honor cords are typically lengths of cording with small tassels on each end. They
are worn draped around the neck and allowed to dangle down the gown’s facings. For
example, the Graduate Student Association members wear white cords. Occasionally
the cords are made of two strands twisted together to show two colors.
Stoles are made of stain or velvet and resemble a man’s oversized necktie with two wide ends and draped around the neck to
hang loosely down the gown’s front. They are usually embroidered with an insignia.
These accessories typically indicate academic honors, such as cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude; students
who have completed university honors curriculums; or membership in honor societies such as Phi Beta Kappa, etc. The
popularity of this practice has led other campus organizations to wear cords and/or stoles, such as the Student Government
Association, College Student Personnel Administration, University Program Board, Centennial Scholars Program, and sororities
and fraternities.

History
The Graduate School of
James Madison University
was established in 1954.
The image of Mr. Madison’s
Temple exemplifies his
intelligence, his love of the
classics, natural beauty and
the useful and practical
ways of men. The civic
architecture, reminiscent
of the ancient republic of

own governors, must arm
themselves with the power
which knowledge gives”
is at the heart of graduate
education.

The JMU Graduate School has a rich history of offering timely and high-quality programs to serve its student body.
Graduate-level classes were first offered in cooperation with the University of Virginia in 1951. Our initial courses offered
specialized teacher education programs, and the JMU Graduate School was established in 1954, when the State Board of
Education authorized the university to offer programs leading to the Master of Science in Education degree. Our offerings
gradually expanded to 48 degree programs, many with multiple concentrations, and nine graduate certificate programs. JMU
launched its first doctoral program in 2002; we now offer eight doctoral programs. Graduate programs are offered in each of the
seven academic colleges within the university. For the last two decades, U.S. News and World Report has ranked JMU either first
or second among the top public master’s-level schools in the south, with eleven graduate programs nationally ranked.
Over the years, our graduate portfolio has grown in response to the needs of the commonwealth, the expertise of our
faculty, and the interests of our students. Consistent with JMU’s commitment to combining academic and practical experiences
for its students, the diverse graduate programs reflect the university’s innovation and vision for equipping graduates with the
best tools for success. Graduate students have the opportunity to expand their knowledge and experience through engaging
classes, research projects, study abroad opportunities, internships and externships. We encourage and support students as they
present their scholarly and creative work at professional conferences. These opportunities allow students to develop professional
identities as scholars, artists, musicians, clinicians, practitioners, educators, and more. Such diverse experiences prepare
our graduate students for leadership roles within their professions. Graduating students carry with them a strong academic
foundation coupled with practical experience and the high level of engagement for which JMU is well known.

COLOR NOTES: The darker purple used for the logo, the stripe at the bottom,
the left swoosh and the darkest sectors of the globe should match
the “official” JMU purple as close as possible.
The background color is an official “Academical Drab” found at
http://www.academicapparel.com/caps/regalia_colors.html
Flag of the
College of
Business
The focal point of the flag is
a globe in motion, propelled
by energy as suggested by the
design around it. The facets
of the globe symbolize the
complex and interconnected
aspects of the global business
environment and the many
disciplines taught within
the College of Business.
The energy and movement
portrayed symbolize the
college’s influence and
impact through preparing
students to engage with the
business world as principled
leaders and professionals.
Use of the academic color for
business as the background
anchors all in the context of
business education.
Concluding Remarks �� Dr. Gowan
JMU Alma Mater �� Dr. James R. Riley
Performed by Mr. Yampiro

Use Silver (not silver foil) for primary color and backing
Use Deep Blue for “University Studies” and swirls
Use Optic White for white spaces
Make two side flags (sample to be provided for shape and
size) from Silver (not silver foil)
The bars on the lower left indicate the various roads leading to JMU. The bars toward the
right edge represent the many avenues available to students graduating from the College of
Education. The unbroken circle portrays education as the link between who we were and who
we have become. The bars at the top and bottom of the banner symbolize lifelong learning.
Flag of University Studies
The mission of University Studies is to coordinate and support campus wide endeavors that
enhance intellectual development and foster the enlightened citizenship of all undergraduates.
The outreaching rays of the flag symbolize the academic projects we coordinate which
encompass the JMU campus as a whole. The scroll design, entwined throughout the University
Studies name, symbolizes University Studies’ role as an umbrella organization housing the
Honors Program, General Education, University Advising, IDLS and the Dean’s office for
undeclared students.

The College of Health and
Behavioral Studies logo
represents human figures
that are interdependent,
balanced, and dynamic.
The image is intentionally
abstract which encourages
complex interpretations
that embody many of the
characteristics of CHBS. We
develop interprofessional
perspectives that promote
collaboration and teamwork
across disciplines. The fluid
circular pattern reflects
responsiveness to changing
societal needs achieved
through scientific inquiry
and the development of
effective practice. Raised
arms bring to mind our
focus on physical, mental

Speaker
Dr. Maria T. (Terry) Wessel, our 2016 Distinguished Service

teach. She started her career as a high school teacher and coach. After
completing graduate degrees at JMU and the University of Virginia,
she has spent her entire higher education career at JMU. Dr. Wessel
has been involved with service to professional organizations, university,
college, departmental and community committees, commissions and boards. She assisted with
projects for the Center for International Stabilization and Recovery, including a landmine
education program in Vietnam. She has participated in three alternative breaks with students,
has been an advisor to several student organizations, first year students and Health Sciences
majors. Her research interests include substance abuse prevention, sexuality, health behavior,
distracted driving and professional ethics. Teaching is her passion – she enjoys students! She is
the proud mother of two grown sons, Patrick and Christopher.

Flag of the
College of
Integrated
Science and
Engineering
The Mobius strip is the
symbol of the College of
Integrated Science and
Engineering. Its single side
signifies how a variety of
perspectives, both technical
and non-technical, come
together to help solve
complicated problems.
The superimposed globe
represents the many scales
at which we work – from
local to global; and the
pixelation of the continents
highlight the importance of
computing to the college.
The colors of the flag
symbolize the college’s focus
on sustainability.

Graduating with Honors
Graduation honors are determined and based on all course work, including course work taken at other colleges.
Cumulative averages required for honors are: Cum laude (3.50 – 3.699), Magna cum laude (3.70 – 3.899) and Summa
cum laude (3.9 and above). All grades received in all courses attempted will be used to calculate the grade point average in
consideration for graduation with honors. Grades and credits completed at other colleges are converted to the JMU grading
system. Graduation honors are noted in this program and are based on the grade point average at the end of the semester
preceding the semester in which final graduation requirements are met. However, for students who participate in the May
ceremony but complete requirements in summer session, the honors noted in the commencement program are based on the
grade point average earned at the end of the preceding fall semester. Final graduation honors recorded on the diploma and
transcript will be determined by the grade point average at the end of the semester in which all graduation requirements are met.

Army ROTC
The James Madison University Army ROTC Duke Battalion mission is to recruit, develop, educate and
provide quality leadership training, practical hands-on experience and Army values character development
in order to commission agile and adaptive leaders to serve as the future officer leadership in the Army,
Army Reserve or Army National Guard. Additionally, it is our mission to motivate young people through
caring leadership to be better citizens committed to lifelong service of the community and nation.
The program offers two-, three- and four-year options, allowing students to complete the requirements to earn a commission
as an Army officer. The three- and four-year programs consist of a basic course and an advanced course. A two-year option allows
students with at least two academic years remaining in either undergraduate or graduate studies to complete all requirements for
commissioning as a second lieutenant in the active Army, National Guard or Reserves. Additionally, students not intending
to pursue a career in the military will gain valuable leadership, teambuilding and communication skills, which transfer into
marketable civilian job skills.
Guests are welcome to join the ceremony on Saturday, May 7, at 2 p.m in Memorial Hall, auditorium. Commissioned as
Second Lieutenant US Army through James Madison University ROTC Program:

Air Force ROTC
Following graduation, Air Force ROTC’s Detachment 890 will proudly commission six of its seniors. Detachment 890 is
comprised of James Madison University, Liberty University, Piedmont Valley Community College, and the University of
Virginia, the host school. Their commissioning marks the transition from cadets to Air Force officers. As they enter active
duty, the six represent the various career opportunities within the Air Force. These career fields include pilot, combat systems
officer, air battle manager, and missile operations. Their time as cadets has prepared them with the leadership experience for this
exciting time! Guests are welcome to join the ceremony on Saturday, May 7, at 3 p.m. in the Grafton-Stovall Theatre.
