S Speaker9:00 a.m. CEREMONYTyler Kobienia For Tyler Kobienia, the Winona State University experience is all about the people. The St. Cloud, Minn., native arrived in Winona to find a picturesque setting and a close-knit community that welcomed him, supported him, and encouraged him to be the best version of himself. “Approachability is a hallmark of most individuals here, and their willingness to extend a helping hand is commendable,” he said. “Undoubtedly, WSU is a vibrant learning environment where everyone shares a common aspiration for success.” After initially considering a path in nursing, Kobienia was drawn to the general engineering program. “WSU boasts a prestigious engineering program led by knowledgeable and approachable professors,” he explained. The general engineering program provided the skills and knowledge Kobienia needed to be successful academically, then went the extra mile to prepare him for lifelong success. “WSU has played a pivotal role in my post-graduation success,” he said. “The campus resources provided invaluable support in enhancing my resume and establishing connections within the industry.” Not only that, Winona State contributed to his personal growth, said Kobienia, helping to guide the kind of person he wants to be in the world. “Winona State University instilled in me the values of making a difference, continuous learning, respecting others, and realizing that with determination, any goal is achievable,” he said. After graduation, Kobienia plans to pursue a career as an Electrical Field Engineer at Blattner Energy. He will be actively involved in designing, constructing, and maintaining Solar, Wind, and Battery Storage Systems. “As a proud graduate of Winona State University, I am well-prepared and eager to enter the workforce. My time at WSU has equipped me with a diverse set of skills, and I am enthusiastic about showcasing these talents in the real world.”Tyler KobieniaGeneral Engineering: ElectronicsSt. Cloud, Minnesota

S Speaker12:00 p.m. CEREMONYMegan Abagat Working at Children’s Minnesota, one of the largest freestanding pediatric health systems in the United States, has long been a dream for Megan Naldoza Abagat, of Eagan, Minn. So it’s no surprise that her program of choice at Winona State University was Nursing. “I chose WSU based on its exemplary and reputable nursing program,” Abagat said. “The WSU nursing program conducts clinicals at Mayo Clinic, a world-renowned hospital. Knowing this, I am confident that I can make connections (all over the healthcare world).” Connections made within the Winona State community were also influential on Abagat’s path to a degree. “The support and guidance provided by my nursing professors played a significant role in boosting my confidence in my nursing skills,” she explained. “I wish I had discovered earlier the abundance of resources available at WSU! Whenever you have a question, simply reach out to a faculty member, and they will direct you to the appropriate person.” During her four years at Winona State, Abagat ended up studying at both the Winona and Rochester campuses. “Initially, I hadn’t considered the Rochester campus as an option, but it turned out to be the best two years I had at WSU,” she said. “I discovered more about who I am as a nurse, as a student, and as a person. The experiences I had in Rochester are something I will always cherish deeply.” As she prepares to graduate from Winona State and begin her dream job on the Inpatient Mental Health unit at the Children’s Minnesota St. Paul campus, Abagat is proud of what her Nursing degree means to her family and to her future. “My family and I immigrated to America from the Philippines when I was six years old,” she said. “(I am not a first-generation student), but I am the first in my family to receive a bachelor’s degree in America.” “At WSU, I’ve gained invaluable knowledge about the duties and sacrifices necessary to pursue this dream of mine,” she continued. “I owe a debt of gratitude not only to my nursing professors, but also to the mentorship provided by senior nursing students who guided and encouraged me.” The many lessons she learned at Winona State - the importance of advocacy and standing up for her beliefs, placing priority on self-care, the significance of community - will serve her well in the years ahead, said Abagat. “I am committed to carrying these lessons forward, knowing that I will forever be a part of the community of learners nurtured by WSU.”Megan AbagatNursingEagan, Minnesota

S Speaker3:00 p.m. CEREMONYAfrini Hossain Afrini Hossain chose to attend Winona State University for its academic excellence, close community, and support for international students like her. Originally from Dhaka, Bangladesh, Hossain’s journey to earning a psychology degree and a minor in human resources management presented its fair share of challenges. “First off, there was getting accustomed to the language, the culture, the environment – especially the cold weather! In my country the coldest would probably be about 50 degrees,” she said. “In addition, coming from a different educational background, I had to acclimate to new teaching styles, classroom dynamics, and academic expectations.” From navigating language barriers to adjusting to a new academic system, these experiences taught Hossain that obstacles are opportunities for growth and learning. “Winona State provided me with a supportive environment where I could develop resilience and perseverance,” she said. “Whether it was taking on rigorous academic coursework, balancing extracurricular activities and responsibilities, or facing personal struggles, I learned to approach challenges with a positive mindset and a determination to overcome them.” Hossain’s favorite part of her Winona State experience was the leadership roles she had the opportunity to explore, including Equity and Inclusive Excellence Chair for Student Senate, President of International Night and Bangladesh Club. During her time at Winona State, Hossain also served as an International Orientation Leader, helping to welcome and assist other incoming international students. “Guiding new students through the orientation process, providing support, and fostering a sense of belonging has been incredibly gratifying, knowing that I’ve played a role in helping them feel at home in their new environment,” she said. After graduation, Hossain plans to pursue a master’s degree and has been accepted by all the graduate programs she has applied to. “I feel a strong sense of purpose and enthusiasm for what lies ahead,” she said. “I just need to make my final decision to choose the best and conquer the world with my Winona State Warrior spirit.” “I am proud to attend and graduate from Winona State University because of the transformative experiences, invaluable opportunities, and supportive community that have defined my journey here.”Afrini HossainPsychologyDhaka, Bangladesh

A C  PThe 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 degree are lined with the official colors of the institution awarding the degree. Graduates of WSU receive a hood lined with purple and white. 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 CWinona State University awards university honor cords to undergraduate students who demonstrate exceptional academic achievement.

T P MSince 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 MA 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 UA 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 165 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.
