Dear UW Graduates, Faculty and Staff, Family, and Friends:

Welcome to the University of Wyoming’s 2024 Spring Commencement ceremony. Thank you for joining us to celebrate one of the most important and memorable moments in your student’s academic journey.

To our graduates: when you embarked on your academic career towards this momentous occasion none of you could have envisioned the challenges and opportunities you would experience along the way. You had highs and lows. You experienced the sweetness of success and the lessons of struggle. You forged new relationships and learned how to navigate those you formed before UW. You experienced both the thrill and rigor of academic discovery. I hope those experiences shaped you during your time at UW and I know they have prepared you for whatever is coming next.

Now, you are turning the page to a new chapter in a book only you can write. You will step into the future with your degree conferred upon you. Your education, knowledge, and experiences are exclusively yours, serving as both the culmination and catalyst for shaping your future and ours.

You are my eighth graduating class as President of the University of Wyoming, and I can say—with the utmost sincerity—that each commencement is special because the hopes, dreams, and accomplishments we are celebrating today are unique to each class and each graduate. It is my deepest honor to celebrate this day with you. I share your elation, your excitement and—yes, for some of you—your anxiety about tomorrow! I am so glad we can be here together to honor you—and share this time with family, friends, faculty, and staff.

To faculty, staff, family, and friends: Our graduates would not be here today without your support, advice, and encouragement. Know that you have played a crucial role in their success that cannot be understated. I know you will continue to support them, wherever their plans take them next!

Graduates, today you permanently join the ranks of a Cowboy or Cowgirl for life. You are part of a community that includes all who have studied, taught, researched, and worked at UW. This community is global, embracing, and is ready to partner with you in the days and years ahead. You make this community stronger and better by joining the alumni ranks of the Brown and Gold. You have my heartfelt congratulations, and my best wishes for a great future!

Edward Seidel President

Wyoming Territorial Seal

The University of Wyoming provides a transitional chapter in the history of the central Rocky Mountain frontier. In 1886, when the university was founded, the Wyoming Territory was nearly two decades old. The territorial seal is reproduced in beautiful stained glass above the west door of Old Main, the first campus building.

In the upper half of the seal, a railroad train is set against the mountains. In the lower left, a plow, a pick, a shovel, and a shepherd’s crook are depicted. An arm upholds a sword in the lower right. Above the Norman shield appears the inscription Cedant Arma Togae (let arms yield to the gown).

In 1890, when Wyoming became a state, the official state seal was adopted. Historically, the university seal bridges the territory and the state. It symbolizes educational excellence and complements the growth of the state it serves.

Alma Mater

Where the western lights’ long shadows Over boundless prairies fling And the mountain winds are vocal

With thy dear name, Wyoming. There it is the Brown and Yellow Floats in loving loyalty, And the College throws its portals Open wide to all men free.

Refrain

And so our songs we bring. Our Alma Mater sing, To her our hearts shall cling, Shall cling forever more.

Yonder we can see it standing, Circled by the purple hills, While the flaming fire of sunset Every western window fills; ’Tis the College! Ah, we know it!

Shrine of many joys and tears, And the rays that light upon it Are prophetic of its years.

By June Etta Downey

UW

Professor

of English and Philosophy (1905) First woman in the United States to head an academic department (1915)

Ragtime Cowboy Joe

He always sings raggy music to the cattle as he swings Back and forward in the saddle on a horse (a pretty good horse!)

He’s got a syncopated gaiter And you ought to hear the meter to the roar of his repeater How they run (yes run!)

When they hear that he’s ‘a-comin’, Cause the western folks all know, He’s a high-falootin’, rootin, tootin’

Son of a gun from ol’ Wyoming Ragtime Cowboy, (talk about your cowboy), Ragtime Cowboy Joe.

Fight, Wyoming, Fight

Come on, Cowboys, gold and brown!

Show them how, boys, hold them down! Start right now, boys, don’t delay, Break away, win today. Take that ball, and one, two, three!

Carry on triumphantly—Come on and fight! Fight! Fight, you Cowboys, fight! Come on and fight to victory!

Academic Regalia

LAcademic regalia originated in the oldest European universities. Many of these institutions continue to show great diversity in their academic dress. In contrast, American colleges and universities adopted a uniform dress code with the following descriptions:

Processional—Doctoral and master’s degree candidates precede bachelor’s candidates. Marching order of the faculty is according to academic rank and tenure.

Mace—Borne in UW processionals by the marshal, the mace is symbolic of the president’s leadership and authority. The short, club-like staff of gleaming metal originated in medieval England. High-ranking officials were accompanied by bodyguards who held the formidable weapon ready to protect the dignitary. The UW mace is crowned with a cap of flames, signifying knowledge and enlightenment.

Gowns—The gown for the bachelor’s degree is worn closed; it has pointed sleeves. The gown for the master’s degree may be worn open or closed; it has oblong sleeves with an arc cut away in front. Neither is trimmed. The gown for the doctoral degree is faced down the front with velvet, with three bars of the same fabric circling the sleeves. This gown may be trimmed in brown or gold.

Hoods—It is customary in most institutions to dispense with the hood for bachelor’s degrees. UW hoods the master’s and doctoral candidates as part of the ceremony. Candidates for the professional diploma wear their master’s hood. The hood is always brown. The master’s hood is three and one-half feet long. Hoods are lined with the official color(s) of the college or university conferring the degree. The doctoral hood is four feet long with side panels. Hoods are lined with the official color(s) of the college or university conferring the degree. The edge of the hood is velvet, and the color of the fabric indicates the degree subject.

Caps and Tassels—Commonly known as mortarboards, caps are brown, and tassels are gold. UW Brown and Gold have been the traditional colors of the University of Wyoming since 1895, selected from the Brown-Eyed Susan, a flower native of southeastern Wyoming. They remain one of the most identifiable components of the UW Brand. Generally, the tassel is worn on the right front side of the mortarboard before the degree is conferred and transferred to the left afterward.
