Undergraduate Speakers

9:30 a.m. Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony

Jonathan Hargis ’79

Retired Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Charter Communications

Jonathan Hargis ’79 graduated from Otterbein with a bachelor’s degree in business administration and went on to become the top marketing executive at a Fortune 100 company. Hargis was executive vice president and chief marketing officer of Charter Communications from 2012-2022, when he retired. In that role, he was responsible for customer relationship growth and revenue for the $51 billion company, which employs 25,000 sales and marketing professionals. He also developed and launched the new Spectrum brand.

Prior to joining Charter, Hargis was executive vice president, marketing for Cablevision Systems Corporation, where he worked from 2000-2012. He started his career at AT&T in 1979 and served in various leadership positions, including national sales director from 1995-1996 and director of marketing from 1997-2000. Hargis also served on the board of the Cable and Telecommunications Association for Marketing (CTAM) Educational Foundation from 2008-2012 and chaired the CTAM board from 2011-2012.

At Otterbein, Hargis was a member of the tennis team, Sigma Delta Phi Fraternity, and was president of the InterFraternity Council his senior year. After graduating, he went on to earn his master’s degree in business administration from Wright State University and certificate in strategic marketing management from Harvard University.

Hargis met his future wife, Gretchen Freeman Hargis ’77, when both were students at Otterbein. The Cardinal couple went on to have three daughters. They live in Long Island, NY. Now that he is retired, Hargis spends his time boating and playing golf and tennis.

1:30 p.m.

Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony

Senator Rob Portman

Former United States Senator, Ohio

Rob Portman’s career in public service spanned three decades and included service in three presidential administrations, two terms in the United States Senate, and six terms in the United States House of Representatives.

In the George W. Bush administration, he served in two cabinet-level jobs, as director of the Office of Management and Budget and U.S. trade representative. Under President George H.W. Bush, he served as associate counsel to the president and director, White House Office of Legislative Affairs.

Portman is known for his civility, successful bipartisan policymaking, work ethic, and grasp of a broad range of complex issues. Over 220 of Portman’s bills were signed into law by Presidents Biden, Trump, and Obama during his tenure in the Senate. He served as the lead Republican negotiator on the bipartisan infrastructure law that is making historic improvements to our nation’s roads, ports, rails, bridges, broadband, and more.

He played a key role in U.S. foreign policy through his seat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and as co-chair and founder of the Senate Ukraine Caucus. He made 10 trips to Ukraine since the Revolution of Dignity in 2014 and is a key advocate for congressional support of Ukraine against Russia’s unprovoked war of aggression.

Portman was born and raised in Cincinnati, where he still lives today with his wife, Jane. Together they have three adult children, Jed, Will, and Sally.

Otterbein Colors

In 1891, Florence Cronise chaired the “Color Committee” to select school colors. The committee chose tan and cardinal, the colors of the Class of 1893. The May 1891 issue of Aegis, the Otterbein newspaper from 1890 to 1917, announced the new colors flew marvelously during the annual field day.

The Mace and Flambeau

The mace and flambeau signify the authority of Otterbein, represented by a globe; and the light of learning, represented by a flame. Commissioned by President Emerita Kathy A. Krendl in 2014, the pieces were designed and crafted by Professor Emeritus Donald T. Austin.

The Otterbein Seal

The Otterbein seal has remained virtually unchanged since 1926. It contains two of the oldest symbols of learning: the oil lamp and the open book. In almost every religious tradition, the lamp is a symbol of enlightenment, of light casting out the darkness. The open book symbolizes education and intelligence. The nine scallops surrounding the seal stand for the three sets of three upon whose work the university rests: Philip William Otterbein, Martin Boehm, and John Wesley, the founders of the United Brethren and the Methodist churches; Lewis Davis, William Hanby, and Jonathan Dresbach, the three primary founders of Otterbein University; and the Holy Trinity of Christianity.

Barb Smoot is the president and CEO of Women for Economic and Leadership Development (WELD), a national nonprofit that develops and advances women’s leadership to strengthen the economic prosperity of the communities it serves. She is the driving force behind WELD’s rapid growth and serves as primary community liaison, overseeing fundraising, collaborative partnerships and development and implementation of WELD’s strategic initiatives, including WELD’s national expansion. In her current role, she builds programs to prepare women and women of color for advanced leadership opportunities including service on government boards and commissions and for-profit company boards.

Smoot, a past Fellow in the Society of Actuaries, has more than 20 years of financial services experience at Nationwide. As vice president of business development for the In-Retirement Division at Nationwide Financial, she led the development and implementation of IRA rollover strategies to retain customer assets from Nationwide’s nearly $100 billion Retirement Plans business segment and to attract new customers to the company. Previous roles include serving as business development head for income products and product manager for the company’s individual life insurance line of business, a profit center that generated over $80 million in pre-tax operating earnings and over $175 million in first-year premiums and a variable universal life insurance product line ranked fourth in the industry at the time.

The Ohio Latino Affairs Commission honored Smoot with the 2022 Nuestra Familia Award for her impact in Ohio’s Latino community. She is a 2021 Otterbein University Honorary Alumna and a 2020 YWCA Columbus Woman of Achievement honoree.

Otterbein Love Song

In a quiet, peaceful village there’s one we love so true. She ever gives a welcome to her friends both old and new. She stands serene

’mid tree tops green. She’s our dear Otterbein.

CHORUS:

Old Otterbein, our college, we sing of thee today; Our memories round thee linger, in a sweet and mystic way.

O Otterbein, we love thee, our hearts are only thine, We pledge anew, we will be true, Dear Otterbein.

Candidates for degrees

Due to publishing time constraints, degrees and honors listed in this program were based upon grades earned through Fall Semester and projected completion of Spring Semester coursework taken on and/or away from campus. Thus, the commencement program information is not considered official. The degrees and honors listed will actually be conferred only upon those who satisfactorily meet all requirements as stipulated in the Otterbein University Course Catalog.

Summa Cum Laude – An undergraduate student who has attained a cumulative grade point average of 3.950 or better is graduated “Summa Cum Laude.” This designation appears on the diploma and permanent transcript record.

Magna Cum Laude – An undergraduate student who has attained a cumulative grade point average of 3.800 to 3.949 is graduated “Magna Cum Laude.” This designation appears on the diploma and permanent transcript record.

Cum Laude – An undergraduate student who has attained a cumulative grade point average of 3.600 to 3.799 is graduated “Cum Laude.” This designation appears on the diploma and permanent transcript record.

With Honors – Honors students were accepted into the Honors Program on the basis of outstanding academic ability, have completed the sequence of Honors courses, and have written an Honors Thesis. The “With Honors” designation appears on the diploma and permanent transcript record. Honors graduates wear a silver medallion with the academic regalia.

With Distinction – An undergraduate student who has satisfactorily completed an approved program of independent study and research, who has submitted a thesis, and has passed written and oral examinations in the field studied, is graduated “With Distinction.” This designation appears on the diploma and permanent transcript record. A student graduating “With Distinction” wears a bronze medallion with the academic regalia.

Academic Costume

A commission appointed in 1959 by the American Council on Education prescribes a code for academic costume that dictates two components of dress: caps and gowns.

The first component, dealing with caps, allows the mortarboard or Oxford type cap. Occasionally, the Cambridge model, a soft cap resembling a beret, is worn. Either type is correct as long as it is black and of an appropriate material, except that velvet is reserved for recipients of doctoral degrees.

The tassel worn with the cap has three variations. First, it may be black for any degree. Second, it may be in the color of the major field of learning in which the degree was granted. Third, a tassel of gold metallic may be worn by recipients of doctoral degrees and by governing officials of institutions. Some schools make a ceremony of switching the tassel from the right to the left at the moment the degree is awarded as a substitute for individual hooding of candidates.

The second main element of academic costume concerns the gown which should be all black, aside from variations in materials and fullness. The bachelor’s gown falls in straight lines from a fairly elaborate yoke. Its distinguishing characteristic is the long, pointed sleeves. A master’s gown is distinguished by arc-shaped panels on the long or short sleeves. The doctor’s gown is an elaborate costume marked by velvet panels down the front and around the neck as well as by three bars of the same material on the bell-shaped sleeves. It is cut much fuller than the other gowns and, unlike them, may be ornamented in color. Both the paneling and the sleeve bars may show the area in which the degree was awarded.

For the Otterbein Doctoral Regalia, designed in 2013, the panels and bars on the gown are cardinal velvet, trimmed in tan piping. The cap is an eight-pointed velvet tam with a gold tassel. The velvet on the four-and-one-half-foot doctoral hood is specific to the field of study and the hood is lined with cardinal and tan silk.

Presidential Collar and Medallion

Chains of office, also known as collars, were used as badges of office in the Middle Ages. Today, they are custom-designed metal necklaces worn by the president during academic ceremonies as part of their regalia. The chain of office designed for the 21st President of Otterbein University, John L. Comerford, Ph.D., is made of bronze, a strong and durable metal. The medallion of the necklace is dominated by the University seal. The seal is an appropriate choice for the design of the medallion because it represents the president’s responsibility to the sound education and experiential learning of each and every student at Otterbein. The metal connector, or bail, that joins the medallion and the chain, represents the institution’s bond between the faculty, staff and students. Equally, the 32-inch chain represents the joining of the desire to teach and the eagerness to learn demonstrated by Otterbein faculty, staff, and students.
