Student Representative <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> May Class <strong>of</strong> 2011<br />
Nancy Adossi<br />
Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Science Degree in Political Science<br />
with a minor in International Relations<br />
<strong>UHD</strong> was a perfect choice for Nancy Adossi, 21,<br />
who will earn a bachelor’s degree in political science<br />
from <strong>the</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Houston</strong>-Downtown on<br />
Saturday, May 21.<br />
Adossi attended Carver Magnet High School in<br />
Aldine Independent School District and started considering<br />
<strong>UHD</strong> after her high school teachers talked<br />
favorably about <strong>UHD</strong>’s English program. “They told<br />
Nancy Adossi<br />
me <strong>the</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essors were strong and I would receive<br />
individual attention and opportunities,” she said. “Four years later, I can<br />
say <strong>the</strong>y were absolutely right. <strong>UHD</strong> is a very intimate university. I love it. It was a<br />
good thing for me. I never felt lost. I know all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essors, and I go to <strong>the</strong>m<br />
for advice.”<br />
Soon after she arrived at <strong>UHD</strong>, she started to learn more about international<br />
relations. It was not long before she decided to major in political science.<br />
Her international passion led her to a variety <strong>of</strong> high-impact experiences in her<br />
undergraduate studies, including <strong>the</strong> opportunity to participate in <strong>the</strong> collegiate<br />
Model United Nations programs at <strong>UHD</strong>. “I have represented Somalia and Sudan,”<br />
she said adding that she was born in <strong>the</strong> West African nation <strong>of</strong> Togo.<br />
“One day I would like to be <strong>the</strong> first female secretary-general <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> United Nations,”<br />
she said with a smile. Her mastery <strong>of</strong> English, French and Ewe, a tribal<br />
language, should serve her well in future international work.<br />
Adossi has also thoroughly enjoyed participating in <strong>UHD</strong>’s Spring 2009 Student<br />
Research Conference. Her research focused on Rwanda and its president, Paul<br />
Kagame. “I looked at <strong>the</strong> economics <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> country as well as <strong>the</strong> policies that<br />
President Kagame uses to control <strong>the</strong> country to determine his ability to win<br />
re-election,” Adossi said.<br />
“Education is very important to my parents and my family,” she said. “I was<br />
never allowed to bring home anything less than an ‘A.’ My fa<strong>the</strong>r moved my<br />
family here when I was younger, so we would have more opportunity.”<br />
Her mo<strong>the</strong>r, Kossiba Adossi, lives in <strong>Houston</strong> and her fa<strong>the</strong>r, Della Adossi, lives<br />
in Togo. She has three bro<strong>the</strong>rs, Cedric an MBA student who lives in France,<br />
Gilles a master’s student who lives in Togo and Della Jr. who is a fifth-grade<br />
student in <strong>Houston</strong>.<br />
Next year she plans to attend graduate school.<br />
Nancy Adossi gives special recognition to <strong>the</strong>se pr<strong>of</strong>essors at <strong>UHD</strong>: John Linantud, Leena Kumar,<br />
Carlos Bohorquez, Suzette Mouchaty, Michelle Moosally, Paul Fortunato, Joseph Westfall, Paul Cunningham,<br />
Merrilee Cunningham, Andrew Pavelich and Jose Alvarez.
Welcome! We are glad that you have joined us today for<br />
this special celebration<br />
Welcome to <strong>UHD</strong>’s <strong>50th</strong> commencement ceremony. We are pleased you have<br />
joined your student at this significant ceremony. This may be <strong>the</strong> first time you<br />
have attended a commencement ceremony at Minute Maid Park.<br />
Did you know that <strong>UHD</strong> is <strong>the</strong> second largest four-year university in <strong>Houston</strong> and<br />
one <strong>of</strong> four separate universities in <strong>the</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Houston</strong> System? That means<br />
<strong>UHD</strong> has a unique mission and its own degree programs and admissions requirements<br />
and can <strong>of</strong>fer students <strong>the</strong> benefits <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> UH System. <strong>UHD</strong> students choose<br />
from a wide range <strong>of</strong> undergraduate degree programs and work with excellent<br />
faculty in small group settings.<br />
<strong>UHD</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers a personalized approach to undergraduate education. Our expert,<br />
approachable faculty <strong>of</strong>ten work with undergraduate students on research and<br />
creative projects, something many students at o<strong>the</strong>r universities do not experience<br />
until <strong>the</strong>y enter graduate school. In addition to more than 40 undergraduate<br />
degrees, <strong>UHD</strong> features master’s programs in business administration, criminal<br />
justice, security management for executives, pr<strong>of</strong>essional writing and technical<br />
communication, and teaching.<br />
<strong>UHD</strong> is known nationally for its diversity and dynamic environment. <strong>UHD</strong> ranks<br />
33rd nationally for graduating Hispanic students with bachelor’s degrees and<br />
47th nationally for graduating African-American students with bachelor’s degrees.<br />
The student population mirrors <strong>the</strong> population <strong>of</strong> <strong>Houston</strong>, and <strong>UHD</strong> graduates<br />
continue to contribute to <strong>the</strong> economic, cultural and social well being <strong>of</strong> local<br />
and global communities.<br />

Symbols<br />
The Seal<br />
<strong>UHD</strong>’s <strong>of</strong>ficial seal reflects <strong>the</strong> history <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> community. It is an adaptation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
coat <strong>of</strong> arms <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> family <strong>of</strong> Sam <strong>Houston</strong>, <strong>the</strong> hero <strong>of</strong> San Jacinto. The <strong>Houston</strong><br />
coat <strong>of</strong> arms is centered by a shield that dates back to <strong>the</strong> 11th century when<br />
William <strong>the</strong> Conqueror invaded England.<br />
The Procession<br />
Bearing <strong>the</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficial mace <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> university, <strong>the</strong> Grand Marshal leads <strong>the</strong> procession<br />
<strong>of</strong> candidates for graduation, along with <strong>the</strong> Associate Marshal, bearing<br />
<strong>the</strong> banner <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> university. The faculty follow <strong>the</strong> candidates, accompanied by<br />
Assistant Marshals. The <strong>of</strong>ficial platform party <strong>the</strong>n takes its place, including <strong>the</strong><br />
Board <strong>of</strong> Regents and <strong>the</strong> chancellor <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> UH System or a designee, <strong>the</strong> president<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>UHD</strong> and o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong>ficers and friends <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> university.<br />
The Mace<br />
A ceremonial symbol <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Office <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> President <strong>of</strong> <strong>UHD</strong>, <strong>the</strong> mace derives<br />
from medieval England when <strong>of</strong>ficials taking <strong>of</strong>fice or opening a court needed a<br />
bodyguard for protection. On such occasions <strong>the</strong> bodyguard carried <strong>the</strong> mace<br />
as a weapon to assert authority for <strong>the</strong> court.<br />
In university ceremonies <strong>the</strong> mace is carried by a distinguished member <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> faculty.<br />
The <strong>UHD</strong> mace was designed and crafted by Roger Dea<strong>the</strong>rage, a noted <strong>Houston</strong><br />
designer and craftsman. The wood used in <strong>the</strong> mace is black walnut; etched<br />
bronze seals <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> university are recessed into <strong>the</strong> orb atop <strong>the</strong> mace.<br />

Academic Dress<br />
The attire worn in <strong>the</strong> academic procession reflects symbolism dating back to <strong>the</strong><br />
12th and 13th centuries. Medieval scholars resembled <strong>the</strong> clergy <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> era in<br />
dress and in some practices, such as taking vows and shaving heads. Standard<br />
costumes in academic settings included hoods and long gowns, perhaps worn<br />
for warmth in drafty buildings.<br />
Academic institutions in <strong>the</strong> United States in 1895 first adopted a code <strong>of</strong> academic<br />
dress which has been revisited at various times by <strong>the</strong> American Council<br />
<strong>of</strong> Education, <strong>the</strong> major coordinating body for <strong>the</strong> nation’s higher education<br />
institutions.<br />
While most universities and colleges adhere to <strong>the</strong> most basic elements <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
academic costume code, <strong>the</strong> guidelines can be adapted for individual institutions.<br />
At <strong>UHD</strong>, for example, bachelor’s candidates do not wear hoods. A black<br />
mortarboard is worn with a tassel hanging over <strong>the</strong> right front quadrant <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
cap. Traditionally, <strong>the</strong> tassel is shifted to <strong>the</strong> left after degrees are conferred.<br />
The gowns worn by master’s candidates have a slightly different style than those<br />
worn by undergraduates. Each master’s graduate receives a hood from a representative<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir college or academic department. The colors in <strong>the</strong> satin lining<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se hoods traditionally represent <strong>the</strong> colors <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> university. For <strong>UHD</strong>, <strong>the</strong><br />
colors are dark blue and red.<br />
The honors cords draped across <strong>the</strong> shoulders <strong>of</strong> a gown indicate academic<br />
honors. Graduation with <strong>the</strong> highest distinction – a grade-point average (GPA)<br />
<strong>of</strong> 3.75 or higher – is Summa cum laude and is represented by combined red<br />
and white cords. Red cords indicate graduation with great distinction – a GPA<br />
<strong>of</strong> 3.5-3.74 – or Magna cum laude. White cords indicate Cum laude honors or<br />
graduation with distinction – a GPA <strong>of</strong> 3.25-3.49.<br />
Academic dress for faculty is distinctive. The doctor’s gown is trimmed in velvet,<br />
and hoods are worn with colors that hold significance. The hood lining is in <strong>the</strong><br />
colors <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> college or university conferring <strong>the</strong> degree and <strong>the</strong> color <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> binding<br />
indicates <strong>the</strong> degree subject.<br />
