GILMAN FARLEY Gilman Farley is a selfmade entrepreneur and the visionary founder of Fort Wayne–based companies Biodyne USA and BW Fusion, two of agriculture’s most influential biological and agronomy platforms.

Raised in Florida, Mr. Farley faced significant challenges early in life. When he was eight years old, his father left the family, and his mother raised Mr. Farley and his brother as a single parent while working multiple jobs. Frequent relocations meant Mr. Farley attended four different high schools, constantly adapting to new environments.

Athletics—particularly basketball and football—became a stabilizing force, teaching discipline, resilience and focus.

After high school, Mr. Farley moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana, to attend Indiana Tech and play men’s basketball, a decision that shaped his future personally and professionally. At Indiana Tech, Mr. Farley found mentors who pushed him to excel, especially Coach Dan Kline, who became a lasting influence in his life. Mr. Farley was a four-year starter, earned 1993 NAIA Men’s Basketball All-American honors, and later was inducted into the Indiana Tech Athletic Hall of Fame. He still holds the university’s career fieldgoal percentage record, reflecting the consistency and focus that would later define his leadership in business.

Following his 1994 graduation, Mr. Farley spent 15 years in the medical and pharmaceutical industry, specializing in oncology sales and management. During this time, he developed expertise in complex products, clinical communication and highperformance team leadership—skills that became foundational to his entrepreneurial success.

In 2013, driven by a desire to build something of his own, Mr. Farley co-founded Biodyne USA with longtime friend and business partner Tim “TJ” Weir. Together, they transformed innovative microbial research into scalable agricultural solutions.

Under Mr. Farley’s leadership, Biodyne USA emerged as a leader in biological row-crop agriculture. In 2019, Mr. Farley co-founded BW Fusion, integrating biological crop nutrition with advanced bio-nutritional technologies and real-time agronomic insights.

The companies grew to more than 100 employees and surpassed $100 million in annual sales.

In November 2024, Biodyne USA, BW Fusion and Agronomy 365 merged through a Bain Capital–supported transaction, creating a unified platform for sustainable crop nutrition solutions. Mr. Farley played a key role in shaping the merger and now serves as a board member and minority shareholder while mentoring entrepreneurs and supporting new ventures.

Outside of business, Mr. Farley enjoys travel, golf, pickleball and time with his wife, Carrie, and their four adult children. Together, Mr. and Mrs. Farley lead their family foundation, supporting Indiana Tech, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Make-A-Wish, breast cancer research and other charitable causes—reflecting Mr. Farley’s commitment to creating opportunity for others.

HONORARY DOCTORATE RECIPIENT

JUDY K. ROY Judy K. Roy has been a trusted and influential senior leader at Indiana Tech for roughly two decades, serving as executive vice president for finance and administration and as a member of the university’s senior leadership team. She has helped guide the institution’s financial, administrative and operational functions during a significant period of growth, investment and change, providing steady leadership through both opportunity and challenge.

Judy began her career at GE Motors, spending five years in a variety of finance and accounting roles while completing GE’s Financial Management Program. She then moved to Parkview Health, where she spent 15 years in health care finance before transitioning to higher education at Indiana Tech.

She earned her bachelor’s degree in accounting from Indiana University–Fort Wayne and completed her MBA in Ethical Leadership and Healthcare Administration at Marist College in 2016. Judy is a longtime Certified Public Accountant and a member of the Indiana CPA Society.

The scale of Indiana Tech’s development during Judy’s tenure reflects the depth of her impact. She oversaw finance and

accounting, student financial services, human resources and facilities—including construction—and played a central role in shaping the policies, systems and administrative structures that support the daily life of the university. Under her leadership, the university completed the construction and/or renovation of 17 campus buildings, expanding its footprint to better serve students, faculty and staff.

Judy is widely respected for her collaborative spirit and her ability to bring people together around shared goals. As a senior member of the leadership team, she has helped guide strategy, support colleagues across campus and build high‑performing teams while advancing initiatives that reflect Indiana Tech’s mission and values. She is known for her professionalism, sound judgment, integrity and unwavering commitment to the long‑term well‑being of the university.

Beyond campus, Judy is widely recognized as a civic and professional leader in Fort Wayne. Her involvement in community and professional organizations reflects a broader commitment to service and leadership that extends beyond Indiana Tech.

In every setting, she has brought the same qualities that have defined her career: competence, humility, wisdom and a deep sense of responsibility.

Outside of her professional and volunteer commitments, Judy enjoys golf, podcasts and flower gardening. She has a son, two daughters, two sons-in-law and nine amazing grandchildren, ranging in age from three to 17. With her grandchildren living nearby, she looks forward to spending even more time with them in retirement—and hopes to pass along her love of golf to at least a few.

CLASS OF 2026

THE TRADITION OF

ACADEMIC COMMENCEMENT Graduate Degree Hoods In antiquity, the first educational degrees were probably conferred at a general gathering of the student body. As early as 500 B.C., the medical school at Athens, Greece, for example, awarded inscribed lead plates at a formal degree-granting ceremony.

Parchment diplomas eventually replaced lead plates, and graduates may have received degrees written on a sheepskin parchment as early as 848 A.D. Master’s degrees and doctoral degrees were awarded by medieval European universities. The first recorded baccalaureate degree was given by the University of Paris in the 13th century. Originally, the degree was a license to teach.

In America, the colonists used the European universities as models for the schools which they founded, and European graduation traditions were adopted. The first American college was Harvard College, founded Oct. 28, 1636. The first Bachelor of Science degree was conferred by Wesleyan University (Connecticut) in 1838; the bachelor’s degree is now is the standard American degree which signifies completion of a four-year degree program.

All degree candidates, college officials, faculty and dignitaries are attired in traditional medieval cap and gown. Black is the standard gown color; however, commencement participants are entitled to wear distinctive tassels on their caps or hoods of various colors over their gowns.

The colors allocated to the various fields of learning have been largely standardized in the United States by the Intercollegiate Bureau of Academic Costume, and accepted by the American Council on Education in its Academic Costume Code. The codified colors associated with Indiana Tech’s different academic disciplines are: Doctor of Philosophy in Global Leadership ��������������������������Royal Blue Master of Business Administration ��������������������������������������������������Drab Master of Business Administration STEM. ���������������������������������������Drab Master of Science in Cybersecurity ��������������������������������������������� Orange Master of Science in Engineering Management ������������������������� Orange Master of Science in Global Health Leadership ������������������������������Drab

Master of Science in Information Systems ��������������������������������� Orange Master of Science in Management ��������������������������������������������������Drab.

Master of Science in Organizational Leadership �����������������������������Drab Master of Science in Psychology ���������������������������������������������� Old Gold Honor Cords Indiana Tech recognizes three levels of outstanding academic achievement by undergraduates when a degree is earned. The level of distinction is indicated on transcripts. These students are wearing gold honor cords. ***Summa Cum Laude (with greatest honor) GPA of 3.90 and above **Magna Cum Laude (with great honor) GPA of 3.70 and above *Cum Laude (with honor) GPA of 3.50 and above Alpha Chi Honor Society Region V, Indiana Lambda, Chapter 279 Alpha Chi is a national coeducational academic honor society for all disciplines. Since 1922, its purpose has been to promote academic excellence and exemplary character among college and university students and to honor those who achieve such distinction.

Membership is limited to the top 10 percent of juniors and seniors and requires confirmation by faculty. The Indiana Tech chapter began in 1986 and holds an induction ceremony for new members each fall.

Honorees wear medallions with sapphire and green ribbon.

Military Red, white and blue cords signify military service.

Cords, Medallions, Sashes and Stoles Many nationally recognized honor societies and student organizations designate academic achievement with cords, sashes, stoles, and/or medallions. For example, many international graduates are wearing stoles that represent the colors of their nation’s flag.
