University of Louisiana Monroe
Historic Overview
The history of the University of Louisiana Monroe is a record of educational leadership and progress with time. In 1922, Timothy Oscar Brown, superintendent of Ouachita Parish Schools perceived the need for an institution that would provide college training for the great number of local high school graduates. After a thorough study of the situation, Brown presented the idea in an address to the Monroe Kiwanis Club, where it was favorably received. The challenge was that additional legislation would be
necessary to provide a satisfactory method for the establishment and maintenance of a junior college. Accordingly, a bill was introduced in the regular session of the Louisiana State Legislature in May 1928, and was subsequently enacted into a law providing for the establishment of junior colleges. Included in Act 173 was the right of a school board to call an election to vote a parish-wide tax for the support of such an institution. Following the adoption of the bill, the Kiwanis Club, cooperating with the Rotary Club, the Lions Club and the Chamber of Commerce, perfected a plan
Welcome to Our Guests
We welcome you to the commencement ceremony at the University of Louisiana at Monroe. Commencement is the solemn yet joyful culmination and recognition of the graduates’ years of study. It is an important and meaningful occasion for the university and its faculty, staff, and students. In keeping with the solemnity of this time-honored tradition, all guests and participants are asked to avoid unnecessary movement and conversation during the exercises. In order that all in attendance may hear the graduates’ names, we also
ask that you refrain from making any noise other than that of applause as graduates cross the stage to receive their degrees. To further enhance the decorum of the event, guests are asked not to enter the arena floor for the purpose of taking pictures during the ceremony. Following the awarding of degrees, the audience is asked to remain seated until the graduates, who follow the administration and faculty, begin to exit. Again, welcome to our campus and to this most momentous and memorable occasion.
Although every effort is made to ensure that this program is accurate with respect to degrees awarded and honors conferred, ULM’s printing schedule makes complete accuracy impossible. Therefore, neither a name listed herein nor participation in the commencement ceremony guarantees the awarding of a degree or the conferring of honors. The Registrar’s Office retains each student’s permanent academic record, which indicates these official designations.
Explanation of Degrees and Diplomas Awarded and Academic Colors
The University of Louisiana at Monroe awards the associate, bachelor’s, master’s, specialist, and doctoral degrees. Diplomas indicate only the degree designations as listed in this program except in the case of professional degrees as specified by the Louisiana Board of Regents. An asterisk (*), unless otherwise noted, indicates the student is receiving multiple degrees. The colors represented in the academic regalia worn by the faculty and candidates are of special interest to
those attending the commencement exercises. The standard followed is that of the Intercollegiate Code of Academic Costume, as revised by the American Council on Education in 1986. The interior colors of the hood, as seen from the back, symbolize the colors of the wearer’s alma mater. The colors shown in the trim of the academic apparel, including the trimmings of doctors’ gowns, edgings of hoods, and tassels of the caps, signify the subject area of the wearer, as shown below:
