Graduation Decorum
Graduation ceremonies are, by their very nature, festive occasions.
The festivity celebrates the joy and satisfaction of accomplishment.
The ceremonies are also marked by seriousness where the conferring of
degrees signifies long, hard work on the part of everyone involved: students,
faculty, administrators, parents, and spouses. In observance of the serious
nature of the ceremony, students and guests are expected to maintain a
measure of decorum appropriate for the occasion. Students are expected
to return to their seats after receiving their diploma and to remain seated
for the rest of the ceremony. Family and guests are asked to remain seated
for the entire ceremony, refraining from leaving their seats in order to take
pictures or to talk to graduates. Please be respectful.

Lt. Gen. Edward C. Cardon
Commander
U.S. Army Cyber Command and
Second Army
Lt. Gen. Edward C. Cardon is the Commanding General for the U.S.
Army Cyber Command and Second Army, responsible for conducting
integrated electronic warfare, information and cyberspace operations.
A Texas native, Lt. Gen. Cardon earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the United States
Military Academy and was commissioned as an Engineer Officer upon graduation in 1982. He
also earned master’s degrees in National Security and Strategic Studies from the National War
College and the United States Naval Command and Staff College. His military education includes
the Combined Arms and Services Staff School, the United States Naval Command and Staff
College, the Armed Forces Staff College and the National War College.
Lt. Gen. Cardon has commanded at every level, from company through division, and has served
with numerous combat units including 1st Infantry Division, 2nd Armored Division, 3rd Armored
Division, 4th Infantry Division and V Corps. With the 3rd Infantry Division, he served as the
Assistant Division Engineer, Commander of the Engineer Brigade in Iraq and the first Commander
of the 4th Brigade Combat Team, which included a deployment to Iraq.
Other assignments have included: company trainer at the National Training Center; instructor for
the United States Army Engineer School; Staff Geographic Officer for Land Forces Central Europe,
NATO; Chief Geographic Officer for IFOR/SFOR Bosnia-Herzegovina; Chief of the Initiatives
Group for the Commander for the Stabilization Force (SFOR); and Special Assistant (Strategy) for
the Army Chief of Staff.
Following selection for Brigadier General, he redeployed to Iraq as the Deputy Commanding
General of the 3rd Infantry Division. Upon return, he was assigned to Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas
as the Deputy Commandant for the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, and then
as the Deputy Commanding General for Leader Development and Education at the U.S. Army
Combined Arms Center. Lt. Gen. Cardon then returned to the Middle East as the Deputy
Commanding General for Support for United States Forces Iraq. Prior to his current assignment
with the U.S. Army Cyber Command and Second Army, he commanded the 2nd Infantry
Division in South Korea.
Among Lt. Gen. Cardon’s awards are the Distinguished Service Medal, Defense Superior Service
Medal, the Legion of Merit (with 5 Oak Leaf Clusters), the Bronze Star (with Oak Leaf Cluster),
Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Meritorious Service Medal (with 3 Oak Leaf Clusters), Joint
Service Commendation Medal (with Oak Leaf Cluster), Army Commendation Medal (with 5
Oak Leaf Clusters), Army Achievement Medal (with 2 Oak Leaf Clusters), Combat Action Badge,
Parachutist Badge and the Army Staff Identification Badge.
University Mace
Armstrong State University’s ceremonial mace traditionally leads the commencement
procession, serving as an important symbol of the institution’s history and legacy. One of the
oldest symbols of authority, the mace serves as a treasured “Symbol of Office” and is vested
with the power of the university.
Two leading Savannah artists, bronze sculptor Susie Chisholm and wood sculptor Dicky Stone,
created a mace that symbolizes the university’s longstanding ties to the city. Crafted from
bronze and wood, the design serves as an elegant tribute. A bronze magnolia flower cradles
a bronze medallion adorned with a stately architectural image of the Armstrong House, the
university’s original location at Bull and Gaston Streets in downtown Savannah. The inscription
reads “Established 1935, Savannah, Georgia.” The mace’s staff has been handcrafted from the
wood of a cherry tree grown on the university’s current campus.
Academic Regalia
The academic regalia worn by faculty and administration at today’s commencement ceremony
traces its origin to that worn by faculty and students at medieval European universities. Modern
academic regalia consists of three parts: the gown or robe, a headpiece, and a hood.
The gown’s traditional color is black. For the bachelor’s degree, the gown has full, flowing
sleeves. The distinguishing feature of the master’s gown is the tippet sleeve. The doctoral gown
is the most elaborate, with a much fuller cut and velvet panels on the sleeves, around the neck,
and down the front. These panels may be black or the color that symbolizes the subject field in
which the degree was earned.
The familiar square mortarboard is the cap worn with a tassel, which may be any one of three
different colors—black, metallic gold, or the color representative of the major field of learning
in which the degree was earned.
While the gown and headpiece denote the wearer’s level of education, the hood shows the
greatest degree of symbolism. Those with advanced or professional degrees wear hoods
symbolic of the degree. The hood is edged in velvet, which denotes by its color the field or
discipline in which the wearer’s degree was earned. It is lined in two colors of silk representing
the college or university from which the degree was granted. It is worn falling from the
shoulders down the back of the gown in a display of vivid color.

Alma Mater
Alma Mater through the ages,
Singing thy undying fame,
Will thy sons and daughters cherish
And defend thy golden name?
To each heart thy noble story
And thy calm and stately grace
Herald thine immortal glory.
Armstrong, hail, all hail to thee!
Alma Mater, those before us
Left thine honor great and strong;
We who follow take their banner,
Raise it with a fighting song!
Consecrated is thy teaching,
Sacred is thy marble height,
Glorious thy spirit reaching
Ever upward to the light.
Words by Margaret Spencer Lubs and
Doris Falk, Class of 1939
