ALMA MATER

The path of life enduring lies with stately grace, Under oaks and pines securing, our home LSUA.

To thee our source of wisdom our hope and future shine, To thee, our Alma Mater we’ll be forever thine.

As we journey onward, the knowledge we obtain And the lessons here imparted eternally remain.

To thee our source of wisdom our hope and future shine, To thee, our Alma Mater we’ll be forever thine.

Josh Blakesley, 2009

DEGREE HONORS

At each commencement, the Chancellor’s Award for “Highest Academic Achievement” is awarded to the graduate receiving an associate degree and to the graduate receiving a baccalaureate degree with the highest GPA, provided that more than 50 percent of the total hours attempted in pursuit of the degree have been earned at Louisiana State University of Alexandria.

Graduates receiving baccalaureate degrees may receive their degrees Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, or Cum Laude. The determination for these designations is based on the student’s cumulative grade point average and the completion of at least 48 institutional hours to qualify for Latin Honors. Degrees are awarded Summa Cum Laude to students whose grade point averages are between 3.90 and 4.0; Magna Cum Laude to students whose grade point averages are between 3.70 to 3.89; and Cum Laude to students whose grade point averages are between 3.50 and 3.69.

Students graduating with honors are recognized at the commencement ceremony by the honors cords they wear. Students graduating Summa Cum Laude wear gold cords; those graduating Magna Cum Laude wear silver cords; and those graduating Cum Laude wear white cords.

Degree Candidates presented with honors in this program is presumptive evidence and is not to be regarded as conclusive. This program contains the names of candidates for degrees and honors at the time of the printing deadline.

THE MACE

A mace is the traditional university symbol of educational authority and institutional identity and is presented at formal university rituals and traditions, such as commencement ceremonies. The LSUA mace is forty-eight inches tall and weighs approximately ten pounds. It is crafted of wood from a fallen live oak tree native to the Louisiana State University of Alexandria campus and solid brass. The brass spacers that collectively form the shaft are engraved with milestone dates in the history of the university.

The mace is topped with a four-sided acorn, calling attention to the fiftieth anniversary in 2010, the service of Louisiana State University of Alexandria to Louisiana and Central Louisiana in particular, desirable attributes imparted in graduates of Louisiana State University of Alexandria and embossed figures depicting: “One World – Diverse – Intertwined.”

The acorn is crowned with the official LSUA oak tree seal with the historical blue and gold banner insignia. Alexandria resident and master craftsman Glen Armand crafted and donated the mace in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Louisiana State University of Alexandria. The LSUA mace was first presented to the faculty, staff and students at the closing commencement exercises of the fiftieth anniversary, December 16, 2010.
