Bardo, Commencement for the colleges of Arts and Sciences, Education and Allied Professions, and Fine and Performing Arts was held at 10 a.m., and that event was followed by a 3:30 p.m. ceremony for the College of Business, College of Health and Human Sciences, and Kimmel School of Construction Management and Technology. A special guest at the afternoon c commence- ment was Thomas W. Ross, president of the University of North Carolina system, who brought greetings from the UNC Board of Governors. We are here today to pay tribute to you and your achievements, Ross said to the graduat- . ing students. All of us are very proud of you. Because of the knowledge, competencies and skills you have gained here, your minds are sharp and filled with ideas. '. You are prepared for the adventures, op- portunities and challenges that life will bring you, Ross said. I give each of you graduates our heartfelt congratulations on this your big day and I thank you for allowing-me to share it with you. Ross also read a Proclamation of Appreci- ation that lists many of the milestones of Bar- dos tenure, including new highs in enrollment and academic quality, a massive construction effort to better serve the educational and per- sonal needs of students, and work to establish WCU as a catalyst for sustainable economic development. The proclamation also takes | = ~=NAME: eee=> ADDRESS: Ss CITY: SSsS=< STATE: WOAAAHNG SHG EEE 0580 95 EF Join the Conversation: av note of WCUs Quality Enhancement Plan, which emphasizes strong connections between students academic and extracurricular activi- ties, and the Millennial Initiative, an ambitious economic development strategy designed to enable private business and industry to col- Jaborate with the university. Bardo will leave the chancellors post on July 1 after 16 years in that position. To summarize, what will be known as the Bardo years at WCU have been radical, remarkable and transformational for an institu- tion seeking to renew its role in education and service in the early years of the 21st century, Ross said, reading from the proclamation. Over the past 16 years, with you at the helm, this university has been changed for the better in many ways, and the beneficiaries of those changes are the students who have and will represent this institution in Western North Carolina, across the state and around the world. On behalf of Western Carolina Universitys students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends, and the citizens of Western North Carolina and the state of North Carolina, we submit to you, Dr. Jghn W. Bardo, our enduring thanks and appre- ciation for service extraordinarily well done. _ Responding to the proclamation, Bardo said advancements made by the university during his tenure are the result of the efforts of many people. Ive had the pleasure of serving as the spokesperson and cheerleader for this campus for 16 years, but theres a reality, and the real- ity is that one person doesnt do very much, he said. It takes an entire team of people, and this university is blessed with an outstanding faculty, a tremendous staff and with leadership on our board of trustees that is second to none in the state of North Carolina. Ross tasks during the afternoon ceremony also included presenting the UNC systems highest teaching honor, the Board of Governors SS Lshalt Clea i Award for Excellence in Teaching, to Aaron K. Ball, professor of engineering and technology in WCUs Kimmel School of Construction Management and Technology. One award is given annually to:a faculty member on each Graduate School commencement.
