S Speaker9:00 a.m. CEREMONYSamantha Dischinger For Samantha Dischinger, transferring from Anoka-Ramsey Community College to Winona State University wasn’t just a change of scenery, it was the beginning of truly finding her place. At Winona State, Dischinger found what she’d been looking for: a close-knit campus community, meaningful friendships, and a supportive environment that encouraged her to grow. “One of the best parts of my experience here has been all of the friends I have met along the way,” she said. “All the things that I am involved in on campus have brought me together with so many great people.” That sense of connection defined Dischinger’s time at Winona State. But just as important were the opportunities to lead, learn, and step outside her comfort zone. “Leadership has been one of the most important things that I will take away from my time here at WSU,” she said. Her development as a leader was shaped by hands-on experience, especially through internships tied to her major in Applied Communication Studies and her minor in Adventure Tourism. “I was able to take internships with local nonprofits and dip my toes into new worlds,” she said. Her experiences in building community, developing leadership, and gaining practical skills reinforced the knowledge that transferring to Winona State was the right path for her. If she could send a message back to reassure her freshman-year self, she knows just what she’d say: “Anoka-Ramsey Community College offered lots of opportunities, but Winona State will give you so much more. Trust the process. You will find your groove, you will find your place, you will find your people. Just be yourself.” As she prepares for what’s next, Dischinger reflects with pride on graduating from a university that puts students first — supporting their success both in and beyond the classroom.Samantha DischingerCommunication StudiesBlaine, Minnesota
S Speaker12:00 p.m. CEREMONYKennedi Kjellberg For Kennedi Kjellberg, Winona State University stood out from the start. From her very first campus tour, she felt that Winona State was the kind of place where she could grow—both as a future teacher and as a musician. “I immediately felt welcome and like my presence was desired at Winona State,” Kjellberg said. That strong sense of belonging defined her college experience, opening the door to meaningful friendships and memorable opportunities—like in 2024, when she performed with the WSU Wind Ensemble at the Minnesota Music Educators’ Association midwinter clinic, marking a historic first for the university. “I have met so many wonderful people, and they are what truly got me through the stressful times college can bring. I am eternally grateful for every single person I have come across throughout my journey.” Late nights, tough courses, and personal challenges tested her along the way. But for Kjellberg, those moments became part of a deeper education. “I have been through a lot of difficult moments during my time here, both academically and personally, and learning what I need to do to be resilient and come out of the other side of these challenges has been such an important lesson that I can thank WSU for,” she said. “I have achieved things high school Kennedi never would have thought she could do!” She credits her success to the community that surrounded her. “Hearing experiences from friends attending other universities, I’ve realized that WSU is truly such a great place to be to succeed,” she said. “The support from faculty, other students, and the university as a whole is unmatched. WSU truly has some of the best resources you could ever ask for when it comes to being successful academically and otherwise.” After graduation, Kjellberg hopes to return to her roots, finding a teaching position near her hometown of Somerset, Wis., while continuing to pursue music. As she prepares to graduate, she reflects on her time at Winona State with gratitude and pride. “I am proud to say that I attended the #1 public university in the state. WSU has truly been making marks throughout the state and beyond,” Kjellberg said. “There have been leaps and bounds from a variety of programs these past few years that make me proud to be a future WSU alum.” Kennedi KjellbergMusic Teaching: Instrumental/VocalSomerset, Wisconsin
S Speaker3:00 p.m. CEREMONYTyler Peil For Tyler Peil, Winona State University isn’t just a place where he earned two degrees, it’s a community that embraced him, challenged him, and encouraged him to show up as the best version of himself. Peil was initially drawn to Winona State for its strong education program and the small class sizes that would help foster meaningful relationships with professors. But what truly resonated with him was the welcoming campus atmosphere and the opportunities to get involved. “Beyond education, I saw that WSU values inclusivity, student voice, and leadership development — things I value in my daily life as well,” Peil said. Throughout his college experience, Peil made a point to be an active participant in shaping the campus community. Whether through networking or taking on leadership roles in Student Senate and various on-campus jobs, he felt empowered to make a lasting impact. “I have felt like I’ve been able to make a real impact on campus with peers, faculty, staff, and other students,” he said. “As I’ve shaped them, I can say for a fact they have shaped me.” As an On Track Academic Coach, Study Skills Tutor, and Program Coordinator, Peil worked closely with students navigating academic challenges — offering personalized coaching, connecting them with resources, and helping them build the skills needed to succeed. These roles not only deepened his understanding of student support systems but also reinforced his commitment to empowering others through education and mentorship. “In my roles of student activism and student support, I’ve learned that real impact comes from listening, understanding diverse perspectives, and being willing to step up when it matters,” he said. “WSU showed me that leadership isn’t about yourself or about the title, but instead it’s about showing up, building community, and working towards something greater than oneself.” After graduation, Peil will continue supporting youth development through an internship with Skyhawks Sports, where he’ll work with young athletes over the summer. As he looks ahead, he brings with him the skills, insights, and passion shaped by years of academic and community engagement at WSU. “From day one, I had people who believed in me, programs to help me succeed, and open spaces in leadership roles that allowed me to find my voice,” said Peil. “WSU gave me the chance to grow, lead, and leave a legacy. I’m walking away with more than just my degrees. I’m leaving with lifelong relationships, meaningful experiences, and the confidence to take on whatever comes next.”Tyler PeilLeadership Education: Sports ManagementSheboygan, Wisconsin
A C PThe traditions of academic apparel and procession date back to as early as the 12th century when the first “modern” universities at Bologna and Paris were centers of European learning. The usual garb of the time was a long gown — a necessity for warmth in unheated buildings of that era. Scholars, generally members of church orders, wore such robes as well as hoods to protect their shaved heads. Later, the hood became a cape that could be pulled over the head in unpleasant weather. Today there are three basic types of gowns and hoods. The bachelor’s gown has pointed sleeves and is designed to be worn closed at the front. The master’s gown is designed with an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist, with an arc cutaway at the front of the sleeve. It may be worn either open or closed. The doctoral gown is full with voluminous bell sleeves, and it also may be worn open or closed. The hoods worn by those who hold a master’s or doctoral degree are lined with the official colors of the institution awarding the degree. Graduates of WSU receive a hood lined with purple and white, and the velvet trim color signifies the subject area or discipline. WSU faculty and administration members wear hoods that show the colors of the institution where their degrees were obtained. The binding or edging of the hood is silk or velvet and the color indicates the subject area or discipline as listed below.Caps retain the traditional black color, but each tassel color has meaning. A purple tassel indicates associate of arts, the purple and white tassel is bachelor degrees. Black tassels indicate master’s and specialist degrees, and doctoral tassels are either black or silver blue.Customs of the commencement processional vary a great deal. At Winona State University, the first to enter the auditorium at the start of the ceremony is the Marshal carrying the WSU Mace, followed by the stage party consisting of the president, guest speakers, deans of the colleges of WSU and other honored guests. The degree candidates–the graduates–are next into the auditorium. The students process into the ceremony grouped by college. Within the individual colleges, the graduates march in order of their degree, first the graduate degrees, then the bachelor’s degrees, followed by the associate degrees. A number of the undergraduates wear honor cords to signify exceptional academic achievement (see below).C ’ :Dark blue - PhilosophyLight blue - EducationApricot - NursingDrab gray - BusinessCopper - EconomicsWhite - Humanities/ArtsCream - Social ScienceSilver gray - SpeechBrown - Fine ArtsSage - Physical EducationPink - MusicCrimson - JournalismGolden yellow - SciencePurple - LawCitron - Social WorkGreen – MedicineU H CWinona State University awards university honor cords to undergraduate students who demonstrate exceptional academic achievement.

T P MSince 1967, each Winona State president has worn the Presidential Medallion as a symbol of a people’s faith in education, in the responsibility of the office and in the guardianship of the university by the State of Minnesota.The symbolism of the medallion lies within the framework of the letters of “Winona State College President,” which encircle and bind together the inner symbols. The equilateral triangle symbolizes the survival of man through the unity of science, literature and the arts. The circle depicts the endless movement of education and represents the world and man, incomplete without knowledge.Aquamarine is symbolic of the Mississippi River and the 10,000 lakes of Minnesota, and topaz represents the golden grain of this great state. Garnet honors the citizens of Winona, who in 1858 asked the Legislature to establish an institution for higher education in Winona and gave land to provide a place for the university.Diamond-set stars shine for L’Etoile du Nord, the Star of North, or the State of Minnesota. The trees denote the great forests, while the flowing lines at the triangle’s base symbolize our streams and rivers. The fire of the opal stands for zeal, supportive of education as a social necessity. Purple alexandrite symbolizes the school color and the pride that our students and employees have for the university. The Presidential Medallion was designed by Floretta Murray, professor emerita of the Winona State College Art Department, and gifted to the college by students in the class of 1967-68. The gems in the medallion were gifts of the citizens of Winona and Winona State faculty members as a mark of their esteem for the university and its memorable past.T U MA mace is a staff borne as a symbol of authority. The person carrying the University Mace, known as the Marshal, is the President of the Winona State University Faculty Association.The University Mace has a circular medallion placed atop a metallic sphere. Inscribed on the sphere are the words “Founded 1858,” the date Winona Normal School, which later became Winona State University, was established. The sphere and medallion are attached atop a long staff. The medallion in the Mace is derived from the Presidential Medallion.The powerful symbolism of the University Mace makes it a distinctive and valuable part of Commencement.
W S UA community of learners improving our worldThe origins of Winona State University can be traced to the earliest days of the State of Minnesota. Although still a part of the nation’s western frontier in 1858, settlers were rapidly populating the newly formed state. The Minnesota Legislature determined schools would be required for the state’s children, and teachers would be needed to educate those students. Lawmakers passed an act calling for the establishment of a state normal school to prepare teachers.When the citizens of Winona learned of the opportunity to be the home for the first state normal school, they raised $7,000 in money and land nearly overnight. Because of the community’s overwhelming support, Winona was quickly selected as the site for the first teacher training institution west of the Mississippi River. The Winona State Normal School held its first classes in 1860. As the school opened its doors, it began sending newly trained teachers out into the state to help meet the educational needs of its citizenry.Throughout its history, the school’s mission and goals have evolved to reflect the times and needs of the region and nation. Classes for students in Rochester were first offered in 1917. In 1921, the normal school became Winona State Teachers College, authorized to grant bachelor’s degrees. Another name change, to Winona State College in 1957, reflected an expanded mission with the addition of bachelor of arts, master of science, and associate in arts degrees. In 1975, the institution earned full university status.Winona State has grown into a vibrant university structured in five colleges: Business, Education, Liberal Arts, Nursing and Health Sciences, and Science and Engineering. Enrollment, including the Winona and Rochester campuses and the adult education and outreach programs, totals over 6,000. Undergraduate degrees are granted in more than 100 areas of study, while over 45 graduate programs are offered, including the Doctor of Nursing Practice and Doctor of Education.A comprehensive university that prepares students to be skilled, responsible, and active citizens, Winona State is recognized nationally as a leader in higher education. The university’s innovative programs encourage active learning opportunities and respect for diverse ideas. Its incorporation of contemporary technology into the learning environment offers students many advantages in today’s rapidly changing world. Winona State's Education Village opened in 2019 and supports a full spectrum of learning environments to prepare education majors for real-world educational settings. Settings range from traditional classrooms with blackboards to advanced, technology-enabled active-learning classrooms, STEM labs, maker spaces, and special-education classrooms. This significant investment in our education programs builds on the university's history as a world leader in education and renews national and international recognition for teacher education at Winona State University.On the horizon, the proposed Center for Interdisciplinary Collaboration, Engagement & Learning (CICEL) project will support students and faculty in Art & Design, Computer Science, and Mathematics & Statistics in building skills and solutions not just for today but for the future. The CICEL project will provide more useful spaces for classrooms and labs, reduce operating costs, and create a new greenspace that invites the community into campus. CICEL also will be the first Net Zero Energy (NZE) and carbon neutral building in the Minnesota State system.Winona State is as committed today to providing a future filled with opportunity as it was when it was founded almost 170 years ago. With a clear vision of quality education, the university continues to fulfill its contract to improve the lives of the people of Minnesota, the nation, and the world.
