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

to found a junior college in accordance with the Junior College Law.On November 9, 1928, the Ouachita Parish School board organized a Junior College District and called a special election to vote the special tax of one mill for a period of 10 years for the construction, equipment and operation of the junior college. The Police Jury and the School Board of Ouachita Parish, in joint session on January 4, 1931, purchased the site for the college. The building, including equipment and grounds, represented an investment of over $350,000. The first session of the Ouachita Parish Junior College began on September 28, 1931, with a full corps of teachers and an enrollment of 416 students. At that time, this was one of the only junior colleges in Louisiana. Thus was realized the dream of T.O. Brown – that educational advantages beyond high school graduation should be the possession of the citizens of Ouachita Parish. Ouachita Parish Junior College graduated its first class of 135 students in June 1933. ULM has followed a course of vigorous growth in its transition from a junior college to an institution offering a comprehensive range of undergraduate and graduate degree programs. In September 1931, the university opened for its first session as Ouachita Parish Junior College, which was operated as part of the Ouachita Parish School System. In

1934, Louisiana State University received authority from the State Legislature to operate the facilities of the university as Northeast Center of Louisiana State University. The name of the institution was changed to Northeast Junior College of Louisiana State University in 1939. The following year, the State Legislature authorized the transfer of all lands connected with Northeast Junior College to Louisiana State University. The 1950 Legislature approved the expansion of Northeast Junior College of LSU to a four-year senior college granting academic degrees. The name of the institution was changed to Northeast Louisiana State College, and its control was transferred from the Louisiana State University Board of Supervisors to the State Board of Education. The name was changed to Northeast Louisiana University by the 1970 Legislature. The constitution, adopted by the people of Louisiana in 1974, provided that the administration of state colleges and universities be changed from the Louisiana State Board of Education to the Board of Trustees for State Colleges and Universities effective May 1975. This board’s name was changed again on June 8, 1995, to the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors. On August 27, 1999, the university officially changed its name to the University of Louisiana Monroe.

Welcome to Our Guests

We welcome you to the commencement ceremony at the University of Louisiana 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 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:

There are few earthly things more beautiful than a university.

It is a place where those who hate ignorance may strive to know, Where those who perceive truth may strive to make others see; Where seekers and learners alike banded together in the search of knowledge,

Will honor thought in all its finer ways,

Will welcome thinkers in distress or in exile,

Will uphold ever the dignity of thought and learning

And will exact standards in these things.
