Malcolm Baldrige Award
UW-Stout is the first Malcolm Baldrige Award recipient in higher education.
UW-Stout has since worked with educational institutions in 39 states and 25 countries, sharing
information and assisting schools that are interested in quality improvement through the application of
the Baldrige criteria.
The Baldrige Award is presented by the President of the United States to businesses – manufacturing and
service, small and large – and to education and health care organizations that apply and are judged to
be outstanding in seven areas: leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, information and
analysis, human resource focus, process management and business results.

Alma Mater
On the banks of Lake Menomin
Stands our alma mater true,
With tower high and brilliant “S”
For her we’ll dare and do.
We’ll sing her praises many,
We’ll glorify her name
And on throughout the years of time
Our love for Stout proclaim.
Academic Regalia
Many colorful robes are seen at college and university graduation ceremonies. Academic
regalia date to the medieval origins of the university, when most scholars were also
members of religious orders. Robes were also needed in those days to keep warm.
Today’s academic robes are largely standardized, although individual universities often
make exceptions. Bachelor’s, master’s and doctor’s robes are typically black, but differ in
style. The bachelor’s gown has pointed sleeves, the master’s has oblong sleeves, and the
doctoral gown has bell-shaped sleeves. The doctor’s gown is also trimmed in the front
with black velvet, with three velvet crossbars on each sleeve.
At UW-Stout, faculty and advanced-degree graduates also wear traditional hoods.
The doctor’s hood is longer than the master’s, and has a wider velvet edging. For both
master’s and doctor’s hoods, the hood is lined with academic colors of the granting
institution (UW-Stout’s academic colors are blue and white), and the velvet trimming
marks the academic discipline of the degree.
The UW-Stout Chancellor, University Marshal, Assistant Marshals, and any other faculty
member holding a doctorate who so desires may be seen wearing the UW-Stout doctoral
robe. This robe is blue, representing the university’s academic colors, with black doctoralstyle velvet edging and sleeve crossbars. The UW-Stout doctoral hood is lined with blue
and white - the academic colors.
Motarboard tassels for UW-Stout bachelor’s graduates are white for those being awarded
a bachelor of arts degree, yellow for the bachelor of science degree.
UW-Stout Honors Program graduates are recognized with a royal blue satin stole.
Graduating students who are members of recognized learned and/or professional societies
may be honored for special academic achievement by wearing regalia such as a neck
honor cord, ribbon, or suspended medallion.
