The appearance of a name in this program is presumptive of graduation, but it is not to be regarded as conclusive. Students whose names are listed
twice in this program are receiving two degrees. Due to late application, the names of some students who are graduating are not listed in this program.

The academic procession at the Southwestern Louisiana Institute Commencement ceremony on August 4, 1938. It
was the University's first summer Commencement. Dean F.M. Hamilton led the procession followed by (left to right):
SLI President L.E. Frazar, and United States Senator Allen J. Ellender. The ceremony was held at Cypress Grove,
which, at the time, was solid ground before it was transformed into Cypress Lake in the early 1940s.
Welcome, Family and Friends
T
he University of Louisiana at Lafayette welcomes you, the families and friends of our
distinguished graduates. UL Lafayette isn’t just a university. It is a community and you are an
important part of it.
Since its founding in 1898, the University has been dedicated to improving the lives of its students.
We join you in honoring our graduates and celebrating their accomplishments as they begin a
new chapter in their lives.
Walk of Honor
V
isitors to the UL Lafayette campus enjoy looking for graduates’ names on the Walk of Honor.
The walkway, which begins near Martin Hall and surrounds the Quad, is paved with bricks
engraved with graduates’ names, arranged alphabetically by year.
The Walk of Honor began with an idea from 1987 Alumni Association President Kenneth Ardoin.
A groundbreaking was held in 1991.
About 2,300 students are graduated each academic year.

UL L afayette A lumni A ssociation
In 1903, the first graduating class of the Southwestern Louisiana Industrial Institute organized
the Alumni Association. Those 18 graduates began a tradition of pride and support for their alma
mater and maintaining connections with one another.
TM
Those connections continue with the University of Louisiana at Lafayette graduating class of
Spring 2015. Your experience with the Alumni Association begins upon graduation and stays
with you throughout your life. Your Alumni Association membership is complimentary for one
year following your graduation. Other alumni may also join the Alumni Association by contributing
to the Alumni Loyalty Fund. The Loyalty Fund supports academic and student programs, as
well as alumni programs. The Alumni Association also serves the University in many ways; by
recruiting students and investing in endowed scholarships.
So whether you choose to stay local or relocate afar, there are alumni clubs and chapters in almost every state. What
better way to network with fellow alums and meet fellow Ragin’ Cajuns than by attending a club or chapter event in
your area. UL Lafayette alumni are ambassadors of our institution i­ts values and its spirit.
Please stay informed about what’s happening on campus or in your area! Throughout the year, the Alumni Association
disseminates information about news and events. Stay current with us, so we may keep you current about your alma
mater! (You may do so by logging on to our website at LOUISIANAalumni.org)
Alumni and friends contribute to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette for many valid reasons. They believe in lifelong
learning. They believe in the hope of the future, which a quality education provides. So many contributions are made for
the betterment of our University. Whether it be attending a University function or showing your pride by wearing red and
white, you are the key to the University’s progress. Remember...you are the past, present, and future of UL Lafayette.
Spring 2015 Outstanding Graduates
Each semester, the UL Lafayette Alumni Association honors the University’s outstanding graduates. One graduate

A bout the U niversity
Community service is a hallmark of the university
experience at UL Lafayette. It is a course requirement for
all first-time freshmen, for example. Each academic year,
students contribute about 150,000 hours of service as
part of University courses. That service has an estimated
value of about $3 million.
Some students also participate in UL Lafayette’s
AmeriCorps Community Service Program. Established in
1995, it is the only campus-based program in the state
and is one of the oldest in the nation.
Louisiana’s Cajun and Creole cultures are reflected in
the University’s academics. For example, the archives of
the Center for Louisiana Studies include one-of-a-kind
recordings of Cajun and Creole music, oral histories and
storytelling. UL Press specializes in books related to
Louisiana, producing award-winning academic titles as
well as best-selling general interest books.
UL Lafayette’s Francophone studies doctoral degree
program is the only one of its kind in the state. And,
students may study Louisiana music to earn a bachelor’s
degree in traditional music, one of only a handful of such
programs nationwide.
The University also has a beautiful, vibrant campus.
Cypress Lake, a managed wetland, is shaded by its
namesake trees and is home to native Louisiana wildlife,
including herons, egrets and alligators. Residence halls
offer living-learning communities, where students with
similar interests live, study and socialize.
The University of Louisiana at Lafayette has a
reputation for academic excellence, community service
and its Ragin’ Cajun spirit.
Established in 1898, it is the second-largest university
in the state. It has one of the highest graduation rates
among Louisiana's public universities.
More than 18,000 students choose UL Lafayette
each year. To ensure them a strong academic foundation
and the best opportunities to compete in the global job
market, University officials regularly review curricula to
offer contemporary degrees.
UL Lafayette has been ranked among the best
universities in the nation by U.S. News Media Group,
which includes U.S. News and World Report, and by
The Princeton Review. It is also the most affordable
university in Louisiana and among the top 10 percent of
most affordable four-year colleges in the United States,
according to the U.S. Department of Education.
The University regularly receives support from the
National Science Foundation, which funds only the most
innovative research. In addition, four faculty have earned
the NSF’s Early Career Award, given to outstanding
scientists and engineers who have potential for
leadership in their fields.
University Seal
The seal was adopted May 11, 1926, when UL Lafayette was still known as Southwestern
Louisiana Institute. Dr. Edwin Stephens, the University’s first president, helped design it,
along with Ellsworth Woodward, director of the Newcomb College art school, and John
McBryde, a professor at Tulane University. Elements of the seal reflect Louisiana’s history
as both a French and Spanish colony. The three fleurs-de-lis refer to France, while the castle
denotes Louisiana’s connection to Spain. The pelican is symbolic of Louisiana. Oak leaves
represent the strength and endurance of the oak tree.
The seal includes the Latin motto “Fortier, Feliciter, Fideliter,” which means “bravely,
happily, faithfully.”
The institution’s name was updated in 1960, when it was recognized as a university and
became the University of Southwestern Louisiana. In 1999, USL’s name was changed to the
University of Louisiana at Lafayette to better reflect its stature as the state’s second-largest
university and an institution with statewide and national — rather than regional — influence.
In that same year, the seal was modified to include elements of the Acadian and Creole flags
to reflect the University’s cultural diversity. The gold star on a white background symbolizes
Acadian culture; the red, gold and green stripes represent West African heritage.

Fleur-de-lis
UL Lafayette’s fleur-de-lis is
a federally registered symbol.
Historically, the fleur-de-lis has
been associated with the French
monarchy, and used in other political
and religious contexts.
®
The University has used a fleur-de-lis as part of its
identity since 1926, when three fleurs-de-lis
were introduced in its seal.
Academic Dress and Heraldry
The academic dress worn by the faculty and
administration in the procession today originated in the
medieval universities of Europe, where instructors were
priests and members of religious orders. Students were
clerks in holy orders, monks or priests themselves. In
the unheated buildings, they wore habits with cowls, or
hoods, that could be pulled over their heads for warmth.
In 1894, a commission of American educators met at
Columbia College with the leading supplier of academic
robes. They created a dress code that was eventually
accepted by almost all universities and colleges in the
United States. The code was modified slightly in 1932
and remains in use today.
Typically, degree candidates wear black gowns. At
UL Lafayette, bachelor’s gowns and doctor’s gowns are
vermilion; master’s gowns are black. The University’s
distinctive fleur-de-lis is incorporated in the design of its
graduation gowns.
Bachelor’s gowns have pleated fronts, semi-stiff yokes
and pointed sleeves. They are worn closed. The master’s
gown is worn open, with the forearm protruding through
an opening in the long sleeve. The doctor’s gown, also
worn open, is more formal, with velvet panels around the
neck that extend down the front edges. Three horizontal
velvet bars are placed on the upper arm of a squared
sleeve. The velvet is usually black, but may instead be a
color that reflects the academic discipline related to the
degree. The mortarboard is the usual headwear.
The most notable feature of academic dress is the
hood, reminiscent of the monks’ head coverings. The
colors of the lining, folded so that they are exposed
in the back, are the official colors and pattern of the
university from which the individual received a degree.
For those who have received a degree from UL Lafayette,
for example, the hood is lined in vermilion with a white
chevron. The master’s hood is three and one half feet
long, the doctor’s hood, four feet.
The color of the velvet border on the hood indicates
the academic discipline of the individual’s degree. For
example, the Ph.D., or doctor of philosophy degree, is
identified by a blue border. You will see that the colors
worn by members of the procession at UL Lafayette reflect
its academic diversity; faculty have earned advanced
degrees from institutions across the United States, as
well as abroad.
Presidential Regalia
The University president wears a
handcrafted medallion, a miniature
of the University seal, during
Commencement and other formal
events. Its chain includes small plates
engraved with the names of the
institution’s presidents.
UL Lafayette President Dr. E. Joseph Savoie also wears
a lapel pin that once belonged to Dr. Edwin Stephens,
the University’s first president, who served from 1900
to 1938. The pin’s design
features the letters, “SLII,”
which stand for Southwestern
Louisiana Industrial Institute.
Stephens gave the pin to Dr.
Joel Fletcher, the institution’s
third president, who served from 1941 to 1966. Fletcher
passed it down to his grandson, who gave it to Savoie as
an inauguration gift in 2009.
University Ring
UL Lafayette’s ring signifies the bond
between the University’s graduates
and their alma mater. The red stone
represents the University’s primary color,
vermilion, and also features its fleur-de-lis. The design
incorporates other elements and images of campus life,
including cypress and oak trees, the University’s seal, and
Martin Hall, the main administrative building. Inside each
ring is the inscription, “heart and hand” — the final three
words of the University’s Alma Mater.

His Excellency Jeremiah C. Sulunteh
Ambassador of the Republic of Liberia to the United States
Ambassador Jeremiah C. Sulunteh is a prominent Liberian politician,
administrator and classroom teacher.
In the 2005 Liberian presidential elections, he ran as a vice presidential
candidate on a ticket with Winston Tubman, but the pair did not survive the
first round of balloting. He went on to support the eventual winner, Ellen
Johnson Sirleaf, Liberia’s and Africa’s first democratically elected president.
After her inauguration in 2006, she appointed Sulunteh as Liberia’s minister
of transport. He served in that role until 2008. He was minister of post and
President Barrack Obama and
Ambassador Jeremiah C. Sulunteh telecommunications from 2008 to 2010, and minister of labor from 2010 to
White House Image/Lawrence Jackson 2012.
Sulunteh was broadly credited with beginning the reconstruction of Liberia’s infrastructure after successive
civil wars that killed 250,000 people between 1989 and 2003. As labor minister, he championed labor law
reform legislation intended to improve workplaces. As minister of transport, he saw to it that an elementary
school and junior high school were built in his hometown of Gboimu so children would not have to walk three
miles every morning, as he had done, to attend school in Gbondoi.
In 2012, Sirleaf appointed Sulunteh as ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the Republic of
Liberia to the United States.
Sulunteh was an economics professor at the University of Liberia from 1995-1997 and at Cuttington University
in Liberia from 2002-2010.
He holds a master’s degree in economics from York University in Toronto, Canada; a master of public
administration from American University in Cairo, Egypt; and a bachelor of science degree in economics from
Cuttington University in Liberia.
Sulunteh began his career as senior commercial aide at the Bong County Agriculture Development Project
in Bong County, Liberia, in 1981. He was also project coordinator, Friends of Liberia, from 1995 to 1997;
accounts service representative, Royal Bank of Canada, from 1998 to 2000; financial aid adviser, York
University, Canada, from 2000 to 2002; and associate vice president for planning and development,
Cuttington University, from 2002 to 2005.
The ambassador and his wife, Kabeh Sulunteh, have three children.

Alma mater, beloved old Southwestern,
Pride of our Southland so fair!

Show forth thy charms so rare,
Alma mater, for honor, truth and wisdom
Thy halls for aye shall stand
Loyal sons and daughters sing
Proclaiming here’s my heart and hand.
