Masks and social distancing are required.

East Stroudsburg University Commencement Welcome to East Stroudsburg University’s Commencement celebration for our 2020 graduates. Congratulations to our students who completed their academic programs, and to their family and friends who supported them on this journey.

In recognition of the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we offer this reminder that masks and social distancing are required at this commencement ceremony.

Academic Procession An usher will lead the faculty followed by the graduating students. Candidates are placed according to the degree to be conferred, and each group is preceded by a commencement marshal. Once all are seated the grand marshal leads the platform participants and the president.

Academic Attire The tradition of academic costume began in the medieval universities of Europe where gowns were everyday dress, providing for their wearers not only distinction but, quite possibly, warmth during long hours of study in poorly heated buildings.

Today, academic attire is seen on American campuses only at formal affairs such as commencement, Founder’s Day, dedications and inaugural ceremonies. In 1895, an Academic Costume Code was established, and has since been adopted by most of our colleges and universities. When the code is followed, one can identify the degree which the wearer holds, the university that awarded it, and the course of study it represents. The distinguishing features are the cut of the gown, the length and colors of the hood, and the color of the tassel on the cap.

The bachelor’s and master’s gowns are generally made of plain black cotton without trim, while the gown for the doctor’s degree is faced with black or colored velvet and has three bars of the same material across the sleeves. The bachelor’s gown has long open sleeves, the master’s gown has longer closed sleeves with arm slits at the elbow, and the doctor’s gown has bell-shaped sleeves extending to the wrist.

The hoods can be distinguished by both the length and color. The bachelor’s hood measures three feet, the master’s, three and one-half, and the doctor’s, four. The color of the velvet edging, which is wider for degrees higher than the bachelor’s, indicates the subject area to which the degree pertains. In addition to the colored edging, the hood shows in its lining the official color or colors of the institution which awarded the degree. The hood is worn such that a large part of the lining is visible.

The black mortarboard cap with tassel is worn with each type of gown. Those holding the doctorate wear gold tassels, while holders of the bachelor’s and master’s degrees generally wear a black tassel, although in recent years it has often been customary to wear the colored tassel symbolizing, like the hood, the subject area of the wearer’s degree.

In nearly every academic procession, a few costumes may be seen which do not conform to the standard patterns described above. Gold braid is frequently added to the gowns of academic administrators, and most faculties include several members who hold degrees from foreign universities, some of which prescribe very colorful attire.

The following colors are associated with the various faculties. It is mandatory that they be used on hoods and optional that they be on the tassels and the velvet used with the doctor’s gowns.

The Presidential Medallion The medallion, or pectoral, has long been a symbol of the rights, authority, and power of kings and queens. At the inception of the university around the year 1000 A.D., and to this day in many European institutions, the reigning monarch still functions as the chancellor of the institution, its chief executive holding appointment as vice chancellor. With the establishment of the academy independent of the crown, the royal medallion has been retained as a symbol of the responsibilities and authority vested in the office of the president of the university by the state.

The East Stroudsburg University medallion was commissioned by the Student Activity Association in 1969, and first used by President Frank D. Sills at his inauguration. It was designed by Dr. Irene Mitchel, professor of art at East Stroudsburg University, and struck by Mr. Leslie Smith, an Allentown, Pa., craftsman. The chain of the pectoral was designed and crafted by Mr. Richard E. Phillips of East Stroudsburg, Pa. The medallion has, on its obverse, the seal of the university. The seal is surrounded by the torch and the mace representing the light of learning and the authority of the university. These two symbols are superimposed on an abstract rendition of the Delaware Water Gap, so much a part of the geography of the region. On either side of the seal are representations of the original Stroud Hall (1893) and the current Koehler Fieldhouse (1967). Below the seal are the extended rays representing the fourteen institutions of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education.

The University Mace The mace was originally a weapon of hand-to-hand combat in medieval times. With the advent of firearms, such a weapon became archaic and was adopted to symbolize the power and authority of kings and queens. Early in the history of the academy, the mace was borrowed from royalty and utilized to symbolize the authority of the institution given to it by the kings and queens and hence, the state, to grant baccalaureate and advanced degrees so specified. The mace is used at all official university functions of an academic nature.

The original East Stroudsburg University mace was commissioned by the ESU Alumni Association for the inauguration of President Frank D. Sills in 1969. It was designed and created by Mr. Richard E. Phillips, a local Pocono artisan. The redesigned mace, incorporating many features of the original mace and symbolizing the achievement of university status by East Stroudsburg State College, was commissioned by the University Commencement Committee in 1987.

Mr. Phillips was again requested to modify the mace to reflect the transition from college to university, and Cherry Valley artisan Abby Porter completed the silver work. The current mace is made of cherry and is approximately 38 inches long. The mace has overlays made of hemlock, dating from 1893 from the original Stroud Hall. The black and red coloring represents the school colors.

The octagonal head of the mace represents the disciplines of the traditional academy, and four disciplines of contemporary higher education: science, arts, humanities, and philosophy. Surrounding the head are silver hands bearing the names and dates of the five precursor institutions. The handle is inset in silver with black onyx and red carnelian. The university seal crowns the mace.

Honors and Honor Cords Those students in the baccalaureate degree program who have received scholastic honors are distinguished by colored cords, and their names are noted in the program with the proper number of asterisks as shown below. There are three scholastic honor categories:

* Cum Laude (white/gold cords) for those possessing a 3.400 to 3.599 quality point average

** Magna Cum Laude (black/gold cords) for those with a quality point average of 3.600 to 3.799

*** Summa Cum Laude (red/gold cords) for those who have maintained a quality point average of 3.800 or above Quality points are based on a four-point system in which the grade A equals 4, A- equals 3.667, B+ equals 3.333, B equals 3.000, Bequals 2.667 , C+ equals 2.333, C equals 2, C- equals 1.667 and D equals 1.000. Honor awards are based on the cumulative average of the entire undergraduate program taken by the student at East Stroudsburg University. Honor designations are translated from Latin to mean with honor, with great honor, and with highest honor.

University Honors Program Students wearing a red stole with the word ‘Honors’ on one side and the Latin words “Veritas et Civitas” (meaning Truth and Citizenship) on the other are graduates of the University Honors Program. These students have completed a rigorous 15 semesterhour Honors curriculum and written an Honors senior thesis, maintaining a minimum grade point average of 3.3 in their Honors work and 3.3 in their university studies overall. Honors Program graduates are noted with .

Maureen Madden 2019-20 ESU Legislative Fellow State Representative Maureen Madden was elected to represent the 115th Legislative District in 2017, and was ESU’s Legislative Fellow for the 2019-20 academic year.

She serves on the Education Committee, Human Services Committee, Gaming Oversight Committee, and State Government Committee, as well as being the Northeastern Delegation Vice Chairperson.

Representative Madden’s legislative priorities are to create economic opportunities, including raising the minimum wage, strengthening public education through equitable school funding, and protecting the environment. Madden re-introduced the Workplace Freedom Act (HB1178) which would strengthen collective bargaining and inform workers of their rights. She has also introduced legislation that would ensure all employees have the same workplace protections against harassment and discrimination, regardless of the size of their employer or type of work (HB1025). Madden is currently co-sponsoring legislation which establishes safe staffing for nurses (HB867) to protect patients across Pennsylvania. When Madden was elected, the number one issue constituents spoke about was healthcare. Madden is a proud co-sponsor of HB3, recently signed by Governor Wolf into law, which allows PA to take advantage of federal funding to create a state-run health insurance exchange, lowering state insurance premiums for Pennsylvanians enrolled and lowering state operating costs by as much as $60 million.

Madden earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from Marymount Manhattan College and a master’s degree in communication arts from Marywood University. Before being elected to represent the 115th legislative district, Madden was a professor of communications at Northampton Community College and East Stroudsburg University. Madden also volunteered and taught women in the Monroe County Correctional Facility.

Madden is a member of the Monroe County Homeless Initiative and has worked with the homeless for the past 17 years. She is a member of the Pocono Heritage Land Trust, the Brodhead Watershed Association, and PennEnvironment. She has received recognition from her community as a legislator including the Women of Distinction Award for community work with the homeless from the ESU Feminist Alliance. She was honored by Monroe County United for the Monroe County Image Award and by the Pennsylvania Federation of Democratic Women for the Outstanding Elected Official Award. She was recognized by the Monroe County Commission as a champion of peace and non-violence. Madden has also received the Greater Pocono Section of the National Council of Negro Women Service Award, as well as the JNESO Professional Healthcare Union Public Servant of the Year Award.

Madden has resided in Tobyhanna with her husband and local musician, Roy Ramos, for the past 16 years. She is the mother of Alex and Rich, who are both police officers in New York City.

Leila Bouchekouk ‘20 Spring 2020 Student Speaker Leila Bouchekouk graduated from ESU in May 2020 with a degree in Chemistry and minors in Spanish and Public Health. Leila is a proud Algerian-American from East Stroudsburg. She is a first generation American, a first generation college student, and a big sister in an amazing family.

During her time at ESU, Leila conducted five research projects, was published by the Malala Fund, served as the president of Rotaract and the vice president of the Pre-Medicine Organization, and was highly involved in the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) and the ESU Community Health Organization (CHO). She says that her most humbling role during her time at ESU was to serve the student body as president of the Student Government Association with an amazing team of student leaders and staff. Together they led reform for campus diversity and inclusion efforts, indigenous communities, the mental health needs of students, and college affordability.

Off campus, Leila dedicated her time to service through volunteering with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) to raise awareness and fundraise for the cure of Type 1 Diabetes, and served as a conference director for the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards.

In 2019 she was one of five women awarded the Monroe County Women Visionary Champion of Peace and Nonviolence by the Monroe County Women’s Commission, and in 2020 she was selected to receive the ESU Service Award alongside her close friend Shelby Jimcosky.

She currently works on behalf of the Pennsylvania Department of Health to help curb the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dushan Chacon ‘20 Winter 2020 Student Speaker Dushan Chacon graduated from ESU in December 2020 with a degree in criminal justice.

Known as “Fluffy” around campus, Chacon is from Paradise Township, Pa. and is originally from Brooklyn, N.Y., moving to Pennsylvania about four years ago. He was a first-generation college student, first attending Northampton Community College where he earned his associate degree in criminal justice, before continuing his academic career at ESU. He was involved in a number of clubs and organizations on campus, including serving as president and public relations chair of the Latin American Association, and participating as a member of MANA, a national Latina organization, and the Men of Color Association.

Chacon was also a student ambassador, a peer mentor for new students, and held an oncampus job working for ARAMARK, ESU’s food service provider, in Dansbury Commons.

“As a student and a citizen, I strove to work hard on the things I love, and to always build connections with others, because you never know what knowledge you may gain from them,” Chacon said. “I urge my fellow graduates and fellow Warriors to never give up just because you fail the first time. Don’t let others, or your past, bring you down. Use those experiences as your strength and armor because that’s what builds character. When you leap over every obstacle that was put in your way but you’re still standing tall, you’ll achieve many great things!”

The Alma Mater Alma Mater, thy halls so majestically stand In the midst of a landscape unique, Through the seasons we toil with our bodies and minds In pursuit of the wisdom we seek.

A mystical charm binds thy children to thee, Each incoming class feels its spell; Those who leave thee regretful thy beauties recall, Which deep in their memories dwell.

(Patrick Conny, 1912)
