Program Notes

Academic Procession

The mace, which symbolizes the University President’s authority, is carried at the head of the academic procession by the College Marshal. It was carved by a local artist from native fiddleback maple and is engraved with the University seal and Glenhill Farmhouse.

Academic Dress

Academic dress had its beginnings in the Middle Ages. When the English universities were taking form in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the scholars were also clerics and adopted robes similar to those of their monastic orders. The use of academic costume in the United States has been continuous since colonial times. A uniform system was not widespread, however, until about 1895, when the well-defined code of the Intercollegiate Commission was adopted by nearly all institutions of higher learning.

The gown worn by those in the procession represents the degree held. The academic gown has pointed sleeves for the bachelor’s degrees, short or regular sleeves for the master’s degrees, and round, full sleeves for the doctorate. The doctoral gown has trimming—usually black velvet—on the sleeves.

The standard academic cap is the mortarboard, usually the color of the gown. Undergraduates wear the tassel on the right side of the cap until the moment the degree is conferred.

The Hood

Hoods are usually worn only for the master’s degree or the doctorate, with the doctoral hood being the longer of the two and marked by distinguishing panels. Hoods are lined with the colors of the college or university in which the degree was granted. In tonight’s ceremony, Dr. Alicyn Rhoades, Vice Chancellor and Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies, drapes the hoods over the candidates’ shoulders.

Undergraduate Degrees

Bachelor’s degrees are conferred by the University after the satisfactory completion of a minimum of 120 credits in a four-year major. The associate degree is conferred after the satisfactory completion of a minimum of 60 credits in one of the two-year majors.

Schreyer Honors College

The Schreyer Scholars program is Penn State’s University-wide Honors program. Students who have completed the requirements of the program, including an Honors thesis or comprehensive examination, receive an Honors degree. Scholars graduating with an Honors degree receive a bronze medal designed by John A. Cook, professor of art emeritus and noted medalist. The medal, which bears the inscription “Intellectual Curiosity—Integrity of Purpose—Scholarly Achievement,” is presented tonight by Dr. Greg Filbeck, Vice Chancellor and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. Students graduating with an Honors degree are noted with a double dagger (††) in this program.

Evan Pugh Scholars

Evan Pugh Scholars are students who were in the upper 0.5 percent of their respective classes. All have been full-time students for at least four semesters prior to selection. The award is named for Evan Pugh, Penn State’s first president (1859–1864). Evan Pugh Scholars are noted with numbers (3) in this program.

Scholastic Distinction

Undergraduate candidates with academic distinction are in the top 12 percent of their graduating class in their college. The 12 percent is divided into 2 percent Summa Cum Laude, 4 percent Magna Cum Laude, and 6 percent Cum Laude. Distinction is subject to the candidates’ satisfaction of minimum criteria. Students graduating with scholastic distinction are noted with an asterisk (*) in this program.

Commencement Speaker

Dennis J. Prischak '92g

President and CEO, The Plastek Group

Dennis J. Prischak ’92g is president and CEO of The Plastek Group, a position he has held since 2002. The Plastek Group, founded in Erie in 1956, is now a global supplier of injection molding tools and rigid plastic-molded packaging with manufacturing sites in North Carolina, Mexico, Brazil, and the United Kingdom.

Prischak joined The Plastek Group as a tool maker in 1983, shortly after earning a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Lehigh University. He quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming a global vice president and playing a key part in the company’s international expansion. In 2002, he became president and CEO upon the retirement of the company’s founder—his father, Joe Prischak. He and his brothers run the company as a second-generation family business.

Recognizing the transformative power of automation in the workplace, Prischak and his brothers brought the idea to create a new chapter in academic pursuits to Behrend. In 2022, The Plastek Group and the Prischak family named the Prischak Robotics and Automation Lab at Penn State Behrend.

He earned his M.B.A. from Penn State Behrend in 1992. He currently serves on the Behrend Council of Fellows and is a Laurel Circle member of the Mount Nittany Society. In 2024, he was named a Penn State Alumni Fellow, the highest honor given by the Penn State Alumni Association. He also is involved in various community nonprofits, including the Africa 6000 Board of Directors, the Erie Downtown Development Corporation Board, the Erie Children’s Museum, and more.

Prischak and his wife, Tara, live in Erie and have three adult daughters, Sara, Leah, and Emma.

Alma Mater

by Fred Lewis Pattee

For the glory of old State, For her founders, strong and great,
For the future that we wait, Raise the song, raise the song.

Sing our love and loyalty, Sing our hopes that, bright and free,
Rest, O Mother dear, with thee. All with thee, all with thee.

When we stood at childhood's gate, Shapeless in the hands of fate,
Thou didst mold us, dear old State, Dear old State, dear old State.

May no act of ours bring shame, To one heart that loves thy name,
May our lives but swell thy fame, Dear old State, dear old State!
