The Academic Procession
The academic regalia, which adds interest and color to the Commencement procession, is as old in history as are universities—that is, more than eight hundred years old. The academic hood, which is worn as an adornment today, served a practical purpose in days of unheated classrooms and cold sleeping quarters.
During the traditional academic procession, the gown and hood indicate the degree held by the wearer or the one about to be received. The hood is lined with the official color or colors of the college or university conferring the degree. Graduates of certain institutions wear gowns in the color of the university. The doctoral gown is faced down the front with velvet panels and has three velvet crossbars on each sleeve. The velvet may be black or may be the color which represents the field in which the degree was conferred.
Since the degrees earned by the faculty of Indiana State University represent many colleges and universities in the United States and abroad, with a wide range of degree fields, the variety of attire forms a bright and colorful pattern.
The Commencement processional of faculty symbolizes recognition for their contributions to the University through awards, faculty rank, and years of service. It begins with full professors/ librarians, followed by associate professors/ associate librarians, assistant professors/assistant librarians, and ends with instructors, each group arranged according to their years of service.

Commencement Mace
A Commencement mace has been carried in every Commencement ceremony since 1966. The original mace was a gift to Professor Caleb Mills, State Superintendent of Public Instruction in Indiana from 1854-1857. Mills, who earned the title of “Father of Public Education,” was instrumental in the establishment of Indiana State Normal School— now Indiana State University. The original mace was actually a walking cane decorated with blue and white silk ribbons representing the school’s colors.
The original mace was replaced in 2010. A new mace was designed and produced by Mark Joseph Clauss, mechanical technologist and lecturer in Indiana State University’s Bailey College of Engineering and Technology. The mace is made of
cherry hardwood with a replica of the University’s Presidents Medallion embedded at the top. The medallion is a four-inch gold medal with 36 blue sapphire gemstones and the official University seal at the center.
Scholarship Honors
Those students graduating with a scholarship index of 3.90 or higher will be graduated Summa Cum Laude. Those with a scholarship index between 3.70 and 3.89 will be graduated Magna Cum Laude. Those with a scholarship index between 3.50 and 3.69 will be graduated Cum Laude. Recognition of these special honors will be made in appropriate fashion at the Commencement ceremonies and on the diplomas.

Looking ahead, she plans to advance into project management and executive leadership roles while pursuing industry certifications such as CAPM, PMP, and LEED. Outside of her professional pursuits, Ashcraft is a dedicated mother of five who enjoys traveling and staying active through fitness.
Maintaining an impressive 3.86 GPA, Herring has earned distinction as a Herbert I. and Bernice Lamb President’s Scholar, as well as recognition through the Gongaware and Networks scholarship programs.

National Anthem
O say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro’ the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Alma Mater
Out upon the swelling breezes, let our voices ring As to thee, our Alma Mater, heartfelt praise we sing. Though the years to come may part us, Friends and comrades true, ISU, our Alma Mater, here’s our pledge to you.
