COMMENCEMENT SPRING 2020

PRE S IDE NT ' S L ETTER

Dear Graduates: On behalf of the District Board of Trustees, faculty, staff, and administration of Lake-Sumter State College, I want to congratulate you on this significant accomplishment. It is said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. That first step was your decision to pursue a degree here at LSSC. For many of you, it took tremendous courage and determination to begin this journey. Many of you faced and overcame obstacles that stood in your way of arriving at this milestone. Your unwavering drive to succeed and the support of family, friends, instructors, and advisors were both crucial to your success.

I encourage you to take time to thank each of your supporters in a special way.

This year, more than ever, you’re aware of the challenges and the struggles facing those in our country’s workforce. Despite the challenges facing you this year, you succeeded. You did so by exhibiting patience, perseverance, and professionalism.

These 3 P’s will be the foundation of the successful careers that you will enjoy.

For me, one of the most invigorating and liberating aspects of America’s community colleges (we hold true to our community college mission) is that we offer the opportunity for success to everyone. Our graduates are truly a diverse group – each coming from a unique background and circumstance; yet, all are bound together by their dream to attain a college degree.

As the global pandemic forces changes to our society, we remain committed to serving the needs of our communities – your success is our mission. LSSC builds and maintains connections with leaders and organizations that offer tremendous support to the College and our students. Through these relationships, we are better able to support you, our students, who then make positive and lasting contributions to our local communities, and beyond.

Graduates: Congratulations! You now join a long line of distinguished alumni of LSSC, and we hope that you, like those before you, will experience an exciting and fulfilling future. As you make your next steps, I encourage you to consider how you can be a positive impact in the community. In addition, please, find time to help or encourage others to pursue or continue their education. The responsibility to serve our communities and make an impact lies in all of us.

Thank you, graduates, for allowing us to be part of your journey.

With Lakehawk Pride,

Dr. Stanley M. Sidor

President, Lake-Sumter State College

ACADE MIC REGALIA The origins of academic dress, caps, gowns, and hoods date back to the 12th and 13th centuries when universities were taking form. Scholars, both teachers and students, wore long gowns to keep warm in the damp and drafty halls of learning. Gradually, styles were adopted which were characteristic of the individual college and of the highest academic degree held by the wearer.

In modern days, academic regalia is typically black or the color of the degree-granting institution. At LSSC, associate degree candidates wear black regalia and baccalaureate degree candidates wear green regalia. Faculty and staff wear caps, gowns, and hoods representing the institution and academic discipline of their highest earned degree.

Academic disciplines are represented by the following colors: Agriculture.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Maize Arts, Letters, Humanities.....................................................................................................................................................................................................White Accountancy, Business, Management................................................................................................................................................................................ Drab Economics.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................Copper Education.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................Light Blue Engineering...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................Orange Journalism...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................Crimson Library Science.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................Lemon Medicine.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Green Music..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Brown Law.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Purple

Cords, stoles, medallions, and tassels representing various academic achievements or other honors are also worn at the discretion of some degree-granting institutions. At LSSC, cords identify the academic discipline of baccalaureate candidates and recognize achievements such as graduation honors and membership in honorary societies recognizing outstanding academic achievement. Cords and medallions may also recognize leadership positions and participation in student organizations in the year of graduation. Tassels may also indicate service or affiliation with specific organizations.

LSSC graduates may wear cords, medallions, or tassels representing: President’s Award Recipient........................................................................................................................................................................................Medallion Academic Excellence Award........................................................................................................................................................................................Medallion Ambassadors.............................................................................................................................................................................................

SPRING 2020 INDUCTEES Czerniakowski, Samantha “When I first started at LSSC, I was a student who just came for classes then went home, I never really attended events on campus. I eventually met some fantastic people who brought me out of my shell and got me involved on campus. The involvement on campus and the new relationships I have made at LSSC are relationships I hope will last a lifetime.” Samantha plans on transferring to a four-year university to pursue her Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry.

Demps II, Terrence “The relationships I have made with faculty, staff, and students/peers at LSSC have enriched my experience. I am thankful for all of the librarians, professors, tutors, and students who went out of their way to help with my academic studies.” Terrence plans to enlist in the United States Marine Corps while continuing his education.
