A Message From the President

To the fall semester graduates of Kent State University:

Congratulations!
We are so very proud of you, and we welcome you to this virtual Commencement.

Hmmm … a virtual commencement. Let’s think about that word, virtual.

You can find a couple of definitions of the word "virtual" in the dictionary. This first one is fairly straightforward, “being on or simulated on a computer.” Yep, that’s virtual, and we are having a virtual commencement.

But there’s another definition of the word virtual, one not quite so straightforward nor clear. Here’s that definition: “almost or nearly as described, but not completely or according to strict definition.”

To my knowledge there’s no law or mandate requiring that commencements be held in person. For sure, gathering together is the tradition, and I have long said that the single best day in the life of a university is commencement day. And we can do this virtually. We can celebrate your accomplishments meaningfully in a virtual environment. In fact, we are doing so right now.

But here’s what isn’t virtual: What isn’t virtual is your degree. It’s real. Your degree isn’t “almost or nearly as described.” Your degree is a legally recognized certificate of your accomplishment as a Kent State graduate. It confers upon you, as we say in our commencement script, all the “rights, obligations and responsibilities hereto.”

So there’s nothing virtual about what you learned — what you learned is real. There’s nothing virtual about your diploma. It is and will always be recognized by employers and by friends and family alike. There’s nothing virtual about the fact that you now join nearly 250,000 other graduates of Kent State University. You are in great company.

Once again, CONGRATULATIONS! You did it. Please celebrate, but please do so carefully and safely, because the COVID-19 virus is not virtual … it is also very real.

Go Kent State! Go Flashes! And go fall graduates of two thousand twenty!

Sincerely,

Todd Diacon Signature

PHI BETA KAPPA

Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s most prestigious honor society, was founded in 1776 by students at the College of William & Mary who recognized the importance of a liberal education as the foundation of participation in a democratic society. Phi Beta Kappa recognizes students who have achieved excellence in all aspects of their education, and who have a strong background in the liberal arts and sciences, mathematics and a foreign language. Fewer than 1% of students across the nation are elected to Phi Beta Kappa annually. The Kent State University chapter was established in 1976, and each year the Phi Beta Kappa faculty members elect juniors and seniors who have met the high standards of excellence of the society.

Regional Campuses

The Regional Campuses of Kent State University have a long-standing history of providing Northeast Ohioans with access to Kent State University degrees. Each campus is engaged within its region and has made significant contributions to the civic, cultural and economic well-being of Northeast Ohio. The campuses have distinguished themselves with both traditional and applied programs that respond to local needs and demonstrate a commitment to providing higher education that is broadly accessible to all residents.

The campuses carry out this mission through the efforts of a faculty committed to the highest standards in teaching and research. Faculty members actively pursue a variety of creative endeavors, regularly contribute to the scholarship in their disciplines, take pride in their continuing pedagogical success and are recognized by the wider university community with teaching and professional development awards. Regional Campuses faculty are visible citizens in the communities they serve, as well as at every level of university governance.

The Regional Campus system comprises a variety of students. These include “nontraditional” students who are returning to the classroom after having raised a family and/or are searching for new career opportunities. Traditional students interested in pursuing an associate or bachelor’s degree, as well as large numbers of high school students focused on earning college credit, also attend the Kent State Regional Campuses. All of these students serve to create exciting and diverse classroom experiences for all enrolled.

Regional Campus students can choose from 29 bachelor’s degrees fully offered within the regional campus system or they can begin coursework toward any of Kent State’s more than 300 majors offered. The College of Applied and Technical Studies was created in 2010 as the administrative home for the programs that are unique to the regional campuses. The college offers nine unique bachelor’s degrees as well as 23 associate degree options, which are available either online or in face-to-face classes within the regional campus system.

Traditions

Academic Attire

Identification of the hood and robe as academic apparel is believed to have originated at the English universities of Oxford and Cambridge during the 12th and 13th centuries. The hoods are a carry-over from the times when monks, who operated those universities, wore them to protect their shaved heads in winter. The robe is an adaptation of the shoulder cape also worn by those same monks while collecting alms.

Use of the academic robe came to the United States in 1754, with the founding of what is now Columbia University. In 1895, a commission of university officials adopted a universal code of design and color for the academic garb. This code has undergone several revisions in subsequent years, with most recent modifications accepted in 1960.

Styling of the robes varies for the bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees. The width of sleeve borders and length of the hood increase with each advanced degree.

In the hoods, the color of the velvet border indicates the type of degree held, while the lining designates the official colors of the institution granting it.

The Mace

Kent State University Mace

The mace carried by the macebearer in the academic processional symbolizes authority. The macebearer carries a mace created and crafted by alumnus Michael V. Jaszczak, ’98. Jaszczak created the mace based upon the input of a committee charged with the task of bringing forth a new design utilizing the resources and wealth of talent available in Kent State’s School of Art.

The central motif of the university seal retains the sun of the state seal, signifying state ownership, and is symbolic of the light of knowledge and wisdom. The shield suggests the geographic shape of Ohio. The bird, which symbolizes leadership, is the chimney swift, a species that colonizes on campus and seems to be in constant flight. The university colors of blue and gold are incorporated in the enameled piece, which is set on top of a walnut pole. The mace rests in a walnut stand crafted by David Dalton, Ph.D., who taught for many years in the College of Education, Health and Human Services.

The Gonfalons

Kent State University Gonfalons

Gonfalons are long ceremonial flags or banners suspended from a crossbar. The use of ceremonial banners dates back to the 1500s. Italian towns, for example, each have a gonfalon, which is the official emblem of the town, showing its coat of arms.

Each of the college gonfalons is emblazoned with the Kent State seal on an academic color of one of the college’s disciplines, established by academic protocol.

The President’s Medallion

Kent State University Medallion

The president’s medallion symbolizes the responsibility in the Office of the President. Its central motif is the university seal, which retains the sun of the state seal, signifying state ownership, and is symbolic of the light of knowledge and wisdom. The shield suggests the geographic shape of Ohio. The bird, which symbolizes leadership, is the chimney swift.

About Kent State

Kent State University is one of the largest university systems in the nation, yet one of the closest families in the world. We embrace diversity and the culture it creates ‒ promoting visionary ideas and bold thinking. From this environment, our students draw strength and support to stand for what matters and to take meaningful action for change.

More than 100 years after William S. Kent donated his valuable farmland so the state could build a teacher-training school for the area, Kent State is one of Ohio’s leading public universities and a major educational, economic and cultural resource far beyond the Northeast Ohio region it has served since its founding as Kent State Normal School in 1910.

Today, poised to play a leading role in 21st-century education, Kent State is one of 76 public higher-research universities, as categorized by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Kent State ranks in the coveted first tier of the Best National Universities listed by U.S. News & World Report.

With eight campuses spanning Northeast Ohio, a College of Podiatric Medicine, the Twinsburg Academic Center and academic sites in major world cities such as Florence, Geneva and New York, Kent State illuminates the way as a world-class institution. Its programs and partnerships boldly expand the boundaries of knowledge for faculty engaged in research and collaboration, and for students receiving life-changing experiences in experiential and study-away programs.

The student body comprises more than 36,000 students, including more than 1,300 international students from nearly 100 countries. The university earns worldwide recognition for its optimum balance of more than 340 undergraduate programs of study and nearly 200 master’s and doctoral programs of study.

The addition of new teaching and learning environments, from the sciences to the arts, and the development of exciting new academic programs characterize Kent State’s focus on transformational educational experiences. The university is accelerating its strategic investment in established areas of research expertise, including environmental science, population health, global understanding and materials sciences. Building upon its historic and foundational research in liquid crystals, Kent State's Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute embraces a leading international role in advanced materials and soft matter science and innovation.

The university's Brain Health Research Institute brings together nationally top-ranked researchers focused on both healthy brain function and neurological disorders.

The Design Innovation Initiative reaches across academic fields to create interdisciplinary approaches to problem-solving ‒ embracing the art, science and business of design and empowering our students with the creative-thinking skills required to succeed and excel in the 21st century.

Kent State recognizes its place in history with the May 4 Visitors Center and annual May 4 Commemoration, which pay homage to the seminal events of May 4, 1970, on the university's Kent Campus. The center and annual observances honor those students who lost their lives, and those who were wounded and those who survived.

World-renowned, nationally ranked and regionally vital, Kent State proudly serves higher education and the world with graduates who are finding their purpose and making a difference with their contributions.

While some people measure both history and success by tangibles, a Kent State professor emeritus suggests considering timeless intangibles that “can be measured by the lump in your throat ... by walking tall.” On a sun-drenched July day in 1914, Kent State’s first graduation class of 34 members walked tall. They led the way for the hundreds of thousands of Kent State alumni who live and work around the world. Proudly joining their ranks are today’s newest members of the Kent State family on this glorious day of celebration.
