A Message from the Chancellor and President<br />
Dear Graduate,<br />
Today’s graduation event marks the end of one journey and the beginning of another.<br />
I congratulate you on behalf of the regents, faculty and staff at Texas Woman’s<br />
University and of the alumni who have preceded you.<br />
Your hard work and determination have led you through long nights of studying,<br />
writing papers and juggling classes – not to mention other commitments. Through it<br />
all, your family, friends, the faculty and staff, and your peers have provided support<br />
and encouragement. They join you today, proud of your achievements and excited for<br />
your future.<br />
Wherever your dreams lead, you can be confident your Texas Woman’s education<br />
has prepared you for the path ahead. From the academic rigor, co-curricular<br />
programming, and leadership opportunities to our diverse campus community, you<br />
will benefit from these experiences. The confidence you have built and your eager,<br />
lifelong learning will serve you well at home and in our globally connected society.<br />
As you go on to share your knowledge, skills and talent, I hope you will keep in touch<br />
and stay involved with Texas Woman’s through the Office of Alumni Engagement.<br />
The doors of this university are always open to you, and we look forward to hearing<br />
about your personal and professional achievements.<br />
With a pioneering spirit,<br />

A Brief History of Texas Woman’s University<br />
The unique history of Texas Woman’s University started before the turn<br />
of the 20 th century with a revolutionary idea – higher education for women.<br />
In 1901, the 27th Texas Legislature created Texas Woman’s University. When <strong>TWU</strong> offered its first classes in 1903 in Denton, the<br />
institution was called the Girls Industrial College of Texas. Three name changes later – the College of Industrial Arts (CIA) in 1905,<br />
Texas State College for Women in 1934 and <strong>TWU</strong> in 1957 – the university has expanded its curriculum to offer bachelor’s, master’s,<br />
specialist and doctoral degrees in more than 70 areas of study in traditional and nontraditional fields for women. The university<br />
became fully co-ed in 1994. In 2021, Texas Woman’s became the nation’s first university system focused on women and the seventh<br />
system in the state of Texas.<br />
Throughout <strong>TWU</strong>’s history, the institution has emphasized academic excellence, professional preparation and personal growth for<br />
all students. The university’s dedication to learning was reflected in the establishment of its first graduate programs in 1930; <strong>TWU</strong><br />
awarded its first doctoral degrees in 1953. That growth took new directions (literally) when <strong>TWU</strong> opened the Institute of Health<br />
Sciences Houston and Dallas Centers in 1960 and 1966, respectively.<br />
Today, the university includes five colleges – the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business, the College of Health<br />
Sciences, the College of Nursing, the College of Professional Education – and the Graduate School. With an enrollment of more<br />
than 15,500 students, Texas Woman’s University offers degree programs in the liberal arts, nursing, health sciences, the sciences,<br />
business and education. Its campuses in Denton, Dallas and Houston also have a robust online presence.<br />
2 u <strong>Commencement</strong> Ceremony <strong>Fall</strong> <strong>2023</strong>
A Brief Guide to <strong>TWU</strong> <strong>Commencement</strong><br />
<strong>Commencement</strong> celebrates the culmination of a student’s education at <strong>TWU</strong>. Each university has its own symbols and<br />
traditions that are part of the commencement experience. Here is some information to help you enjoy <strong>TWU</strong>’s unique<br />
commencement ceremony.<br />
<strong>TWU</strong> Symbols<br />
u The Seal of the University – The official seal of Texas Woman’s University is used on all formal<br />
documents, such as the degrees awarded by the institution. The seal appears on the academic banners<br />
for the colleges of the university that adorn the commencement platform. The design of the seal<br />
incorporates the star, which represents the State of Texas, and the university motto, Scientia Lumen<br />
Vitae, which means “Knowledge Illumines Life.”<br />
u The Mace of the University – The mace is carried at all formal university ceremonies, such as<br />
commencement. Today, the provost carries the mace down the aisle leading the academic procession.<br />
Designed and handmade in 1977 by Alfred E. Green, associate professor of art, the mace is a symbol<br />
of the spirit and nature of the university. The mace is a staff of rare vermillion wood topped with<br />
a silver sphere banded by ivory. The silver sphere is repeated at the base, and a gold seal of the<br />
university is embedded in the shaft.<br />
<strong>TWU</strong> Academic Regalia<br />
u The President’s Medallion – The medallion worn by the chancellor and president bears the seal<br />
of the university on its face and the names of the university’s presidents on the reverse. Encircling the<br />
presidents’ names are the four names by which Texas Woman’s University has been known since its<br />
founding in 1901. In 2003, Ingrid Psuty, M.F.A., created the medallion and chain of fine silver and<br />
burgundy enamel.<br />
u The edging of velvet on the master’s and doctoral hoods<br />
indicates the degree received:<br />
White Master of Arts (M.A.)<br />
Drab Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.)<br />
Light Blue Master of Education (M.Ed.)<br />
Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.)<br />
Brown Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.)<br />
Kelly Green Master of Healthcare Administration (M.H.A.)<br />
Master of Health Systems Management<br />
(M.H.S.M.)<br />
Lemon Master of Library Science (M.L.S.)<br />
Master of Music Therapy (M.M.T.)<br />
Salmon Master of Public Health (M.P.H.)<br />
Citron Master of Social Work (M.S.W.)<br />
Gold Master of Science (M.S.)<br />
Master of Science in Nursing (M.S.N.)<br />
Professional Science Master’s (P.S.M.)<br />
Specialist in School Psychology (S.S.P.)<br />

Apricot Doctor of Nursing Practice (D.N.P.)<br />
Slate Blue Doctor of Occupational Therapy (O.T.D.)<br />
Teal Doctor of Physical Therapy (D.P.T.)<br />
u <strong>TWU</strong> students participating in commencement wear varied<br />
cords and sashes symbolizing their affiliations with honor<br />
societies and student organizations. For example, the red,<br />
white and blue honor cords worn today by graduating<br />
veterans and active military symbolize our recognition of<br />
their accomplishments and appreciation for their service.<br />

*The Star Spangled Banner<br />
by Francis Scott Key<br />
Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light<br />
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?<br />
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,<br />
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?<br />
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,<br />
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.<br />
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave<br />
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?<br />
*Alma Mater<br />
by Mamie Walker, Class of 1917<br />
Hail, Alma Mater! Hail!<br />

praises to thee.<br />
