A reception honoring the graduating class of 1994 will be held immediately following the ceremony. SPEAKER BONNIE GUITON HILL Dean, McIntire School of Commerce University of Virginia Bonnie Guiton Hill became the third dean of the McIntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia on July 1, 1992. Prior to coming to the University of Virginia, Ms. Hill was a member of the cabinet of Governor Pete Wilson of Calilornia, serving as Secretary of the State and Consumer Services Agency, charged with the oversight of 14 state departments with a budget of more than $2 billion and some 14,000 employees. Ms. Hill has served two U.S. Presidents in three separate appointments. For President Bush, she served as Special Advisor for Consumer Affairs and Director of the United States Office of Consumer Affairs. She also headed the Committee on Consumer Policy for the U.S. Delegation to the Organization on Economic Cooperation and Development. For President Reagan, Ms. Hill served as assistant secretary in the U.S. Department of Education and vice chair of the U.S. Postal Rate Commission. Before moving to Washington, D.C. , Ms. Hill was a vice president with Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corporation. Prior to joining Kaiser, she was executive director of the Marcus A. Foster Educational Institute and assistant dean of student services and a lecturer at Mills College, Oakland, Calil. Ms. Hill currently serves on the boards of directors of the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation, Louisiana-Pacific Inc., Hershey Foods Corporation, AK Steel Corporation, Crestar Financial Corporation, and the National Environmental Education Training Foundation. She holds numerous honors and awards including the National Women's Economic Alliance Foundation 1992 Directors Choice Award, the YWCA's Tribute to Women in International Industry Award, the National Coalition of 100 Black Women's CANDACE Award, and is listed in Who's Who. While studying for her bachelor's degree in psychology from Mills College, Dean Hill attended community colleges in Oakland and Alameda, Calif. She has a master's degree in educational psychology from Calilornia State University at Hayward and a doctorate in higher education administration from the University of Calilornia at Berkeley. Her dissertation analyzed a successful partnership between private industry and business educators. SPEAKER FOR TIIE GRADUATES DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD RECIPIENTS MARNIE ALICIA ALLEN Professor of Speech, Drama, Music Associate in Science, Education Associate in Arts, Liberal Arts Magna cum laude Marnie Alicia Allen today receives an associate in science degree in education and an associate in arts degree in liberal arts. The stole and tassel of gold silk which she wears indicate her status a member of Phi Theta Kappa, the international honor society for two-year colleges. Ms. Allen is graduating magna cum laude, with high academic honors. Ms. Allen's academic achievements are impressive, including membership in the Alpha Epsilon Tau chapter of PTK and service this year as its vice president. She has been a participant in the college's honors program and has earned Dean's List designation each semester during her three years of study at PVCC. Equally impressive is the contribution Ms. Allen has made to student life at PVCC. As a Spanish and mathematics tutor, as an assistant in the foreign language laboratory, and as a peer educator in the areas of alcohol and substance abuse and sexual assault, Ms. Allen has given generously of her time and talents. Additional extracurricular activities include membership on the Student Activities Board, the Student Services Committee, the Spanish Club, the International Club, and the Piedmont Activities Club. She has served as president of the Spanish Club and the Piedmont Activities Club. Off campus, Ms. Allen volunteers at the Salvation Army and with Special Olympics. After graduation, Ms. Allen returns to her native New Jersey where she will enroll in the special education program at Trenton State University. Her goal is to become a special education teacher. S. KATHRYN BETHEA Dr. Bethea, director of theater at PVCC, connects the college to its communi.ty with an annual schedule of theater performances. In nearly a dozen years since she came to PVCC in 1982, she has carved out a special niche and created a reputation for the college. Thanks to her inspired directing and considerable hard work, theater-goers know that when they come to the college, they will be challenged as well as entertained. Dr. Bethea is recognized for envisioning what theater could become at PVCC. As her nominator wrote: "She has a creative mind and a drive for exceUence that is exhibited in the performances she receives from the actors and students involved in the plays staged here." In addition to her role with PVCC theater, Dr. Bethea teaches speech, humanities, and music appreciation and is a composer and lyricist. With her sister, Janis Kindred, she has created two choral works. Dr. Bethea also has plays, novels, and five musicals and operas to her credit. Dr. Bethea has bachelor's and master's degrees in music from Louisiana State University and a doctorate in drama from the University of Kansas. MARY JANE KING Assistant Professor, Coordinator of College Relations Ms. King, coordinator of college relations since 1988, is in the business of communication. Through the media, printed materials, video, and contact with organizations and agencies in the community, she seeks to explain and to model PVCC's unique role in the region it serves. As the administrator in charge of many college events, from graduation to smaller meetings with important college constituencies, Ms. King coordinates college services and functions to assure that activities run smoothly. She is recognized for "the spirit in which she approaches her responsibilities and her willingness to take on additional tasks in the interest of promoting Piedmont's mission. " Her nominator added: "She is very quick to suggest strategies and programs even when it is obvious that she will be delegated the responsibility." Ms. King has a bachelor's degree in English from Eastern Mennonite College and a master's degree in English from Ohio University. DISTINGUISHED STUDENT AWARD RECIPIENT PIEDMONT VmGINIA COMMUNITY COLI.EGE 1993-94 GRADUATES VICTORIA G. WATSON Full-Time Student Associate in Science, Business Administration ASSOCIA.T.E IN APPLIED SCIENCE Accounting Honor student, campus leader, community volunteer, wife, and mother of three young children, Ms. Watson embodies the best attributes of PVCC students. She is recognized today as the recipient of the first ever PVCC Distinguished Student Award. A business administration major adept at managing time and setting priorities, Ms. Watson 's greatest challenge came last summer when a kidney transplant changed her plans to be a full-time student at PVCC. Disappointed that she would not complete her degree requirements for today's graduation, she immediately began to outline courses needed for August graduation. She will complete her degree requirements in August and has been accepted for study this fall at the McIntire School of Commerce, University of Virginia. She plans to become a certified public accountant. Ms. Watson is secretary of the Alpha Epsilon Tau chapter of Phi Theta Kappa and this year developed a newsletter which promotes PTK activities and provides regional and national information on PTK. She has arranged and participated in volunteer activities for PTK members benefitting the Salvation Army, the Ronald McDonald House, the American Cancer Society, and needy families at Thanksgiving. She also serves as a volunteer for the University of Virginia Department of Urology and has been a panelist on patient satisfaction at the UVa Health Sciences Center. "Knowing Vicky has made a difference in my life," her nominator wrote , "and I believe her attendance has made a difference in the life of PVCC. " Linda B.

' 1994 Summer Graduate 1993 Summer Graduate 1993 Fall Graduate Explanation of Honors Cum laude, with honors: 3.2-3.499 GPA Magna cum laude, with high honors: 3.5-3.799 GPA Summa cum laude, with highest honors: 3.8-4.00 GPA Graduates wearing a gold stole and tassel are members of the Alpha Epsilon Tau chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, the international honor society for two-year colleges. The silk honors stole and tassel are worn by graduating PTK members as a symbol of their outstanding academic achievement. THE ACADEMIC REGALIA The history of academic dress reaches back to medieval universities, where the gown, the cap, and the hood signified the privileges and responsibilities of the scholar. The teaching guild was the guild of the master of arts; the bachelor was the apprentice of the master. At Cambridge and Oxford, every detail of academic dress is subject to regulation by the university. At one time, Oxford tailors who did not comply with the rules could be punished by the vice chancellor of the university. European universities continue to show great diversity in academic dress. American colleges and universities, however, have followed a single standard of academic dress since 1895. The gown has become a symbol of the democracy of scholarship as it covers dress indicating rank or social standing. Bachelor's and master's degree gowns have no trimming; the doctor's degree gown is faced with velvet and has velvet bars on the sleeves in colors to show the faculty or discipline to which the degree pertains. The cap symbolizes freedom of scholarship. The symbol derives from Roman times when freed slaves had the privilege of wearing a cap. Academic caps feature a tassel indicating the discipline of the wearer. The hood is the forerunner to the present cap. Its colors denote the discipline represented by the degree, and the college or university from which the degree was granted. THE CEREMONIAL MACE The Piedmont Virginia Community College mace was presented to the college by University of Virginia President Robert M. O'Neil in 1988. The gift honored PVCC President George 8 . Vaughan as he prepared to leave the college and also signified the close working relationship that had developed between the two institutions. The mace is a traditional ceremonial staff which serves as a symbol of authority. The PVCC mace is made of silver and walnut and incorporates a Jefferson cup into its design. It was created by John]. Owen, retired vice president for development at the University of Virginia. STATE BOARD FOR COMMUNI1Y COllEGES Robert P. Crouch, Jr., Chair Nellie B. Quander, Vice Chair Arnold R.
