A M E S S A G E f ro m th e PRES IDENT Congratulations on your graduation from Butler University!

On behalf of the Butler University community, I would like to congratulate each one of our accomplished graduates. I commend you for the hard work, dedication, and perseverance that have brought you here today. We are proud of you, and we are grateful to have had you as members of our campus community. All of you—through your unique talents and strengths—have made Butler a better place.

I would like to recognize the parents and family members of our graduates. Your guidance and support have made all the difference for today’s diploma recipients. They have earned this honor, in large part, because of you. We share in your joy as you celebrate this milestone in their lives.

I also want to thank our talented faculty and staff members. Because of your dedication, our graduates are now ready to embrace the exciting opportunities and challenges ahead. They have received an exceptional education in a vibrant learning environment, and they are prepared to become future mentors, critical thinkers, and agents for change.

Graduates, “The Butler Way”—or, that special manner in which we all pursue excellence in our own areas of talent for the greater good of our communities and society—is now a part of who you are. As new alumni, you personify the Butler spirit of achievement, and it speaks volumes about the outstanding people you are and the great things you will do.

The Butler family will always welcome you back home, and we hope you will visit us often.

James M. Danko, President Butler University

A N T HEM The Road Home Music by Stephen Paulus Text by Michael Dennis Browne Tell me, where is the road I can call my own, That I left, that I lost, So long ago?

All these years I have wandered, Oh, when will I know There’s a way, there’s a road That will lead me home?

After wind, after rain, When dark is done.

As I wake from a dream In the gold of day, Through the air there’s a calling From far away, There’s a voice I can hear That will lead me home.

Rise up, follow me, Come away, is the call, With the love in your heart As the only song; There is no such beauty As where you belong; Rise up, follow me, I will lead you home.

A L M A MA T ER In the gallery of memories There are pictures bright and fair, And I find that dear old Butler Is the brightest one that’s there.

Alma Mater, how we love thee, With a love that ne’er shall fade.

And we feel we owe a debt to thee That never can be paid.

C OM M E N CE M E NT S Y M B OLS THE MACE The mace symbolizes the University’s governing authority and is present only when the President and members of the board of trustees are in attendance at academic ceremonies, signifying that the proceedings have official sanction. The hand-carved mace incorporates the features of the Butler seal in a symbolic creation that captures the strength and character of Butler University. Carved from Indiana walnut, the mace includes the torch, which symbolizes light and learning; the name of the University; its location; year of founding; and a ring of figures representing each college. The chief faculty marshal uses the mace to open and close academic ceremonies.

GONFALONS The Butler University gonfalons are modeled on processional banners that originated in the medieval states of Italy. Butler’s six gonfalons represent the schools that comprise Butler University: College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, College of Education, Lacy School of Business, College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Jordan College of the Arts, and College of Communication.

THE PRESIDENTIAL CHAIN of OFFICE The chain of office symbolizes the authority vested in the president by the Board of Trustees.

In 1962 the Alumni Association gifted the original chain of office to the University. In December 2012, a new chain was commissioned as a gift to the University by Trustee Gary D. Butkus ’88 and College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences faculty member Jason T. Range JD PhD. The silver chain contains the same college symbols as the mace and bears the names of the distinguished persons who have served as presidents of Butler University. Suspended from the chain is the University seal encased in laurel, symbolizing the triumph of learning.

ACADEMIC SYMBOLISM The use of caps, gowns, and hoods in commencement ceremonies has been continuous since colonial times. The custom descends from the Middle Ages, when education was a function of religious organizations. Today’s academic garb resembles medieval clothing worn by the clergy. Caps were a necessity in cold churches; capes with attached hoods were also needed for warmth.

The color, trimming, and lining of the hoods worn in commencement ceremonies indicate the school from which a degree was granted. Generally, hoods increase in size from the bachelor’s hood to the doctoral’s.

At Butler, the color of the tassel on a graduate’s cap indicates the discipline studied.

ABO U T S I G M A G A MM A RH O Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. was organized on November 12, 1922, in Indianapolis, Indiana, by seven young educators: Mary Lou Allison Gardner Little, Dorothy Hanley Whiteside, Vivian Irene White Marbury, Nannie Mae Gahn Johnson, Hattie Mae Annette Dulin Redford, Bessie Mae Downey Rhoades Martin, and Cubena McClure. The group became an incorporated national collegiate sorority on December 30, 1929, when a charter was granted to the Alpha chapter at Butler University. Sigma Gamma Rho has welcomed more than 100,000 collegiate and professional women from every profession.

The sorority has more than 500 chapters in the United States, Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, Germany, South Korea, U.S. Virgin Islands, and the United Arab Emirates.

THE FOUNDERS Mary Lou Allison Gardner Little At the young age of 3, Little suffered the tragic loss of both her parents and was then raised by a family friend. She graduated from Shortridge High School in 1915 and received a diploma from the Indianapolis Normal School in 1918 when she began teaching. In 1928, Little moved to Los Angeles with her husband and finished her undergraduate training at UCLA. She taught in the Los Angeles school system until her retirement in 1967. In her honor, the Mary Lou Allison Loving Cup Award is presented at each Boule to the chapter reporting the most successful program.

Dorothy Hanley Whiteside Whiteside graduated from Shortridge High School and entered the Indianapolis Normal School in 1922. During her training as a cadet teacher, she met the teachers who became her best friends and fellow founders of the sorority. In 1951, she retired from teaching and later assisted her husband in developing a business. She also started her own millinery business and worked with her church and various organizations. After the death of her husband, she ran their business from 1955–1957, subsequently returning to teaching in 1959 before retiring again in 1970.

Vivian Irene White Marbury Marbury attended Shortridge High School and the Indianapolis Normal School. She received a bachelor’s degree from Butler University and a master’s from Columbia University in New York City. Her professional career included teaching at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Indianapolis University, Indianapolis State University, and serving as Director of Practice Training of Teachers from Butler University. She served as Principal of Indianapolis Public School #87 for 39 years. She was an active member and leader in her church and several local organizations.

Nannie Mae Gahn Johnson Johnson was a product of the Indianapolis Public School System and received both a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Butler University. In 1923, she received her first teaching assignment and over the years she was promoted to principal of one of the largest elementary schools in Indianapolis. She was also very involved with many clubs and organizations dedicated to community service and retired in 1966.

19

Hattie Mae Annette Dulin Redford Redford graduated from South Bend Central High School, cum laude, from Indiana State Teachers College with a bachelor’s degree, and studied at Western Reserve in Cleveland and Indiana University extension. She taught one year in Terre Haute, and 37 years in Indianapolis, Indiana.

She was Grand Epistoleus, Grand Tamiochus, Financial Consultant, and received various awards and honors for her sorority service. Plaques are awarded in Redford’s name at each Boule for exhibits of chapter achievements.

Cubena McClure Cubena McClure graduated from Shortridge High School, the Indianapolis City Normal School, and attended Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. She won the Gregg Scholarship, which she planned to use to attend Columbia University. Unfortunately, illness prevented her from accepting the scholarship. McClure was talented in art and she helped to design the Sorority pin.

She died very young on August 24, 1924.

Bessie Mae Downey Rhoades Martin Martin was the youngest of six children and attended grade school in Indianapolis. She graduated from the Manual Training High School and the City Teachers Normal School. Martin taught school for over 25 years. She married twice and was a devoted wife, educator, and engaged founder.

Rasheeda S. Liberty Rasheeda S. Liberty was elected the 25th International Grand Basileus of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., during the 58th Biennial Boule on July 31, 2020. In her role, Mrs. Liberty serves as Chairman of the board of directors and is leading the organization of over 100,000 inducted members and 500 chapters worldwide, as it celebrates its 100th year in 2022.

Mrs. Liberty joined Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority in 1994 at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and has since served in a plethora of leadership roles. As an acclaimed corporate leader, with 30 years of experience in delivering results for Fortune 100 companies, Mrs. Liberty currently serves as the Principal ID&E (Inclusion, Diversity and Equity) for Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Mrs. Liberty is lauded by her sorority for her stewardship of the organization’s mission of enhancing the quality of life for women and their families in the US and globally.

Khalilah A. Shabazz, PhD Khalilah A. Shabazz, PhD is an Indianapolis native and serves as the International Grand Anti-Grammateus (Secretary) for Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. and is an active member of the Alpha Sigma Chapter. She grew up just steps from the Butler University campus with her great-grandmother, Vivian Irene White Marbury, one of the seven founders of the sorority.

Professionally, Dr. Shabazz serves as the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Student Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at IUPUI where she spearheads the efforts to promote the success of minoritized students by coordinating institutional strategic retention and support initiatives. She holds a master’s and doctorate in Higher Education from Indiana University with a 20-year progressive career in higher education administration and teaching. She is the co-pilot of a blended family with eight daughters and grandson, Brave.

Dr. Catherine Pangan Have you ever inflated a life-sized blue whale in a school parking lot? Talked with astronauts in real-time aboard the International Space Station with 200 third graders?

Traveled back in time to visit Madame CJ Walker at the Indiana Historical Society? If you’ve had class with Dr. Catherine Hagerman Pangan—most likely you have! Dr. Pangan is a Professor in the College of Education and is honored to work with first-years through graduate students and many community partners around the city. Her work focuses on science and social studies methods, teacher leadership and innovation, and pre-service teaching. She is also an Innovation Fellow for Butler’s Transformation Lab as well as the Director for Indiana’s STEM New Educator Academy. Soon she will be adding “dinosaur hunter” after this summer in Wyoming as she develops a course of Jurassic proportions for undergrads and alumni—that means you!

F A C U L T Y CO M M EN CEM ENT S PEA K ER

Dr. Ashley Hutson Dr. Ashley Hutson is a lecturer at Butler University in the Department of Sociology & Criminology where she teaches courses in feminism, social issues, social movements, research methods, and senior research seminar, among others. She earned master’s and doctoral degrees in Sociology from the University of Illinois, UrbanaChampaign.

Dr. Hutson is a race, class, and gender scholar whose research and scholarship has focused on the impact of structural inequalities, like racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia, on micro-level interactions. Her primary research focuses on street harassment as viewed through the theoretical frameworks of power, control, and authority. In addition to examining street harassment in the United States, she has also coauthored a chapter focused on the experiences of migrant women in Naples, Italy, with street harassment. She is in the process of completing a study related to the gender pay gap, and in partnership with current Butler students and colleagues across the nation, she recently embarked on a multi-campus study of student perceptions of stalking in the age of social media.

Dr. Hutson’s service closely aligns with her teaching, research, and scholarship.

She is the current faculty advisor for three Butler student organizations: Promoting Awareness Victim Empowerment (PA|VE), Leading Women of Tomorrow, and the Student Sociology & Criminology Association. At present, she serves on a variety of committees focused on inequalities, particularly gender and racial inequalities. This past year, Dr. Hutson completed the Social Justice, Diversity, & Vocation Fellowship and she currently serves on the Sexual Misconduct Prevention Taskforce, LAS Honors Board, and Green Dot Implementation Team, among others. In April, she was elected to the advisory council for the John Henry Weidner Foundation for Altruism. This past academic year, she oversaw five honors theses in the Department of Sociology & Criminology. As she learned when students “pied” her in the face for a College Mentors fundraiser, there is very little she will not do in service of students, the University, and the discipline.
