She graduated from Barber Scotia with a bachelor of science degree in elementary education and from North Carolina A & T State University with a master’s degree in reading education. She further studied at the University of Virginia, Radford University, and Virginia Tech. After graduating from Barber Scotia, Ms. Ashe was employed as a classroom teacher at Gibson Elementary School in Danville, Virginia, and later at Park Avenue Elementary School. She later served as assistant principal at Westmoreland Elementary School and coordinator of middle school education in the Danville Public Schools. She was also asked by the superintendent of schools to be the director of a summer program for academically talented elementary students. In addition, she was employed as a visiting instructor at North Carolina A & T State University. Ms. Ashe was named the first “master teacher” for the Danville Public Schools. In that assignment, she helped evaluate students, worked with teachers on teaching methods and materials, and helped develop more effective ways for organizing classrooms in the city. She was also given the responsibility of being the coordinator of a federal reading and mathematics program. In 1987, she retired after 32 years of dedicated service to the Danville Public School System, working with both children and adults.

GRADUATION TRADITIONS Academic Procession and Regalia The academic procession is steeped in a long tradition dating back to the Middle Ages when students and scholars marched in ceremonies whenever a student accomplished his course of study. Traditionally, the graduation marshal is the most senior member of the faculty. Today, we have only one ceremony for graduates, but we wear regalia similar to those worn in the Middle Ages. Professors and students studied in poorly heated buildings, so long, warm robes and hoods were very useful. The distinctive hoods and doctoral robes were used to set the faculty apart from the students. These were worn every day at most colleges and universities until the 1860s. Traditionally, undergraduates wear only the black robes. Bachelor’s and master’s hoods have the colors of the university which awarded the degree on the inside. The color border which represents the teaching field is around the edge of the hood. The bachelor’s and master’s hoods are similar except the master’s sleeves are fuller. The doctoral hoods are longer and the bands of colors wider. The doctoral robes may be black or a color that the university designates. The robes also have velvet in the front from hem to neck, and three bands of velvet on the sleeves -- the velvet bands are in the color of the teaching field or may be black. Certain universities use a tam instead of the traditional mortarboard, but all people with doctorates wear a gold tassel. Faculty marshals traditionally wear a sash to distinguish them from the rest of the participants. Colors of Teaching Fields White................Arts and Letters Brown...........................Fine Arts Scarlet........................Theology Orange..................Engineering
Green.........................Medicine Light Brown...................Business Dark Blue..................Philosophy Lemon Yellow.................Library
Yellow...........................Science Light Blue..................Education
The Mace The mace of silver and walnut has its history in antiquity, first as a weapon, then as a symbol of royalty and a sign of authority. The mace, a club-like staff, is now traditionally carried by the Faculty Marshal as a symbol of the professor’s role and preeminence at modern institutions of higher education. The silver figure at the top of the mace carries the torch of knowledge. The mace is to be carried by the Faculty Marshal at each ceremony in which academic regalia is present.

THE ALUMNI PLEDGE I am a graduate of Danville Community College. I have achieved graduation through my own hard work and dedication and the support of my family, friends, and faculty. I am now a member of the Danville Community College Alumni Association. In this capacity, I have earned the privilege of a mutually beneficial and lasting relationship with the college and its community. Today, I move forward to embrace new opportunities and to meet the challenges that lie ahead. But as I do, I also recognize that my Danville Community College experience will remain forever an important part of my life. The opportunity of a Danville Community College education confers upon me a responsibility to help ensure the continued strength of this great institution. I will not forget this responsibility. I am a graduate of Danville Community College.
