COMMENCEMENT<br />
MONTANA STATE UNIVERSITY BILLINGS<br />
1
THE ACADEMIC PROCESSION<br />
The tradition of the academic procession and academic apparel goes back to the<br />
early days of the oldest European universities, where gowns and hoods began<br />
to be required in the fourteenth century. Although European institutions continue<br />
to show great diversity in their specifications on academic apparel, current practices<br />
in this country follow the code established by the American Council of Education.<br />
Academic apparel indicates the most advanced degree held by the wearer. Gowns<br />
for the bachelor’s, master’s and doctor’s degrees are distinguished by the variation<br />
in sleeve length and by the width of the edging. The color of the edging of the hood<br />
indicates the subject of the degree (e.g., white for arts, yellow for science, light blue<br />
for education, dark blue for philosophy) and the colors of the lining of the hood<br />
indicate the institution from which the degree was received. For <strong>Montana</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> Billings the colors are blue and gold. Apparel for the doctor’s degree<br />
is distinguished by the panels on the sides of the hood, the gold tassel on the cap,<br />
and the velvet trim on the gown. <strong>Montana</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> Billings' baccalaureate<br />
candidates who have excelled academically wear Honor Cords. Gold Honor Cords<br />
(signifying Summa Cum Laude) distinguish graduating seniors who have attained<br />
a grade-point-average of 4.0. Gold and Silver entwined Honor Cords (signifying<br />
Magna Cum Laude) distinguish graduating seniors who have attained a gradepoint-average<br />
between 3.75-3.99. Silver Honor Cords (signifying Cum Laude)<br />
distinguish graduating seniors who have attained a grade-point-average between<br />
3.50 and 3.74. Blue and White entwined Honor Cords (signifying High Honors,<br />
3.75-4.0, and Honors, 3.50-3.74) distinguish recipients of Associate degrees and<br />
Certificates. Honors designations are based on the cumulative grade-point-average<br />
which includes graded transfer work from other institituions.<br />
The marching order for the <strong>Montana</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> Billings academic procession is<br />
as follows: The Ivy Guard, the Color Guard, the Grand Marshal, the Platform Party,<br />
the Faculty Marshal, Emeritus Faculty, the Faculty by rank, the Senior Marshals,<br />
the Candidates for Academic Degrees. �<br />

FOR EMERITUS TITLE<br />
Patricia Holman<br />
Adjunct Assistant Professor Emeritus of Business<br />
pon the occasion of the retirement of Patricia<br />
UHolman from the faculty of <strong>Montana</strong><br />
<strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> Billings, the faculty, staff,<br />
students, and administration wish to extend<br />
their appreciation for her 19 years of dedicated<br />
and valued service to the<br />
<strong>University</strong> and the <strong>State</strong> of<br />
<strong>Montana</strong> by recommending<br />
that the rank of Adjunct<br />
Assistant Professor<br />
Emeritus be conferred on<br />
her by the Board of Regents<br />
of the <strong>Montana</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
System.<br />
EXPLANATION<br />
Pat has been a<br />
faculty member at MSUB<br />
since 1993. Because of<br />
her experience as a small<br />
business owner, she was<br />
able to quickly perceive a<br />
gap in the curriculum of the<br />
college. Pat was the driving<br />
force behind the creation<br />
of a new class, BUS 314,<br />
Applied Business Decisions.<br />
This class, with its emphasis<br />
on financial statements<br />
and cash flow analysis,<br />
serves as a bridge course<br />
between the lower and<br />
upper division curriculum.<br />
She also worked with Tom<br />
Hinthorne on the revision of the COB’s strategic<br />
management course. This course requires that<br />
students write a business plan for a client in the<br />
community. The College of Business at <strong>Montana</strong><br />
<strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> Billings is the only business<br />
school in the Rocky Mountain region to require<br />
all graduates to have written a business plan.<br />
As a result of these efforts, the curriculum of<br />
the COB has become increasingly applied and<br />
connected to the business community over<br />
the years. Pat Holman was the catalyst for this<br />
transformation.<br />
As part of the Applied Business Decisions<br />
course, Pat encouraged her students to enter the<br />
CAPSIM Challenge, an Internet-based business<br />
simulation with multiple competitors from<br />
around the world. Two COB students came in<br />
PATRICIA HOLMAN<br />
33<br />
first place in the fall 2011 competition out of 367<br />
teams. MSUB topped schools such as Washburn<br />
<strong>University</strong>, Brigham Young <strong>University</strong> and<br />
Baylor. This is the follow-up victory to the spring<br />
competition where another COB student came in<br />
first place. In fact, Pat has coached five student<br />
teams to first place finishes since 2002.<br />
In addition to being a tremendous teacher<br />
and a transformative<br />
force for the College of<br />
Business’s curriculum,<br />
Pat Holman has become<br />
a productive scholar.<br />
She has published four<br />
business cases in the peer<br />
reviewed Case Research<br />
Journal, along with six<br />
peer reviewed proceedings<br />
and numerous conference<br />
presentations. Pat does<br />
not have a Ph.D. and she<br />
was not hired to conduct<br />
research. Nonetheless,<br />
she has become a firstrate<br />
researcher for the<br />
university. Finally, Pat<br />
has brought a great deal<br />
to MSUB through her<br />
connections with the<br />
Billings community. She<br />
has been a member of<br />
the College of Business<br />
External Relations Work<br />
Team, serves on several<br />
business and nonprofit<br />
boards, and has been a<br />
member of the College of<br />
Business Advisory Board for 14 years.<br />
In summary, Pat Holman has by far<br />
exceeded the expectations of a faculty member<br />
at MSUB through her transformative work in<br />
the College of Business, her scholarship, and<br />
her involvement in the community. She has<br />
brought recognition to the university through<br />
her amazing work coaching students through<br />
the CAPSIM Challenge.<br />
For these reasons and more, <strong>Montana</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> Billings is honored to recommend<br />
Patricia Holman for Emeritus status. �

Raise our song to MSUB,<br />
Alma Mater, here’s to you.<br />
When our youth’s bright sun is shining,<br />
When life’s clouds are small and few,<br />
<strong>Montana</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> in Billings,<br />
Alma Mater, here’s to you.<br />
As the years roll swiftly onward,<br />
and our lives are filled with care,<br />
We will honor MSUB,<br />
And the happy hours spent there.<br />
Where the Yellowstone meets the Rimrock,<br />
When night’s stars come shining through,<br />
<strong>Montana</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> in Billings,<br />
Alma Mater, here’s to you.<br />
Thorsten N. Berggren, 1953-1954<br />
Revision of words: William E. Murphy and Wallace F. Rubick, 1998<br />
