HISTORY OF GEORGIA SOUTHERNIn 1906, Georgia Southern founders from Bulloch County met with state legislators and leaders from competing counties at the DeSoto Hotel in Savannah, where they won the bid for the First District A&M School to be located in Statesboro.

In 1935, just a half-mile away from the DeSoto, Armstrong Junior College was founded at the historic Armstrong House on Bull Street.

In both cases, local leaders like Lonnie Brannen and Albert M. Deal from Statesboro, and Lowry Axley and Thomas Gamble from Savannah, understood the impact that education would have on the workforce and the business prospects of the region, and they put their resources behind their beliefs.

In 1924, First District A&M School expanded its mission and became the Georgia Normal School, training teachers at the college level for the first time. By 1959, the Board of Regents changed the school’s name to Georgia Southern College, a four-year college with diverse programs.

In 1964, Armstrong had also achieved four-year college status, and just two years later completed its new campus on the southside of Savannah. The move was controversial to many locals and city leaders because the southside was considered “out in the country.” Back then, Abercorn Extension ended at a barricade right in front of the campus.

However, the move proved to be visionary, and the southside became an integral part of the city in later years.

In 1980, Georgia Southern created its first ROTC program with Mercer University’s help. Four years later, the University assumed responsibility for ROTC at Armstrong, and the cadres have been linked ever since.

Today, our ROTC programs draw some of the best and brightest from around the country, and our cadets are routinely among the best in the nation.

Our ties to the military don’t end there. Fort Stewart is the largest Army base east of the Mississippi, and has provided a huge opportunity for us to connect with our community. In 1998, Armstrong worked with Georgia Southern and other USG institutions to create the Liberty Center—now the Liberty Campus—which serves a large population of active-duty and veteran military and their families. Both Georgia Southern and Armstrong have been designated Military-Friendly institutions for years, a trend we proudly continue as a consolidated University.

With the reinstatement of football in 1982, Georgia Southern began to get noticed on the national stage. During the Eagles run of championships under head coach Erk Russell, enrollment doubled.

By 1990, this explosive growth and the hard work of faculty and staff led to its designation as a university. Just six years later, Armstrong gained university status as well, and the two institutions expanded their program offerings and regional impact.

In 2018, Georgia Southern and Armstrong consolidated to become one Georgia Southern University, and is now the largest public university south of Atlanta and the fifth largest in the state. Focused on student success, the University seeks to help our students get the firsthand, experiential training that will help them enter the workforce as leaders in their fields.

THE SEALThe Georgia Southern University seal symbolizes the University and its history. The seal depicts the Marvin Pittman Administration Building, which was built in 1907 and anchors Sweetheart Circle, the iconic lawn of picturesque live oaks, magnolias and pecan trees that are indicative of southeastern and coastal Georgia. The Circle’s main entrance is featured as a brick-walled gateway, with each side topped by a lamp of knowledge. Three stars symbolize the legacy and traditions of all three campuses that comprise the University and their rich histories — the Armstrong Campus in Savannah, the Liberty Campus in Hinesville and the Statesboro Campus. The year, 1906, indicates the founding date of Georgia Southern University as the First District Agricultural & Mechanical School in Statesboro.

THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDALLION AND CHAINThe presidential medallion and chain, worn by the president of Georgia Southern University as part of the president’s academic regalia, symbolizes the University and signifies the authority and responsibility of its highest executive office. Georgia Southern’s presidential medallion and chain is a custom-designed, handcrafted work of art.

Professor Christina Lemon and Georgia Southern alumna Madeline Shelor collaborated on the custom design and creation of the medallion and chain using a combination of traditional methods and new technology.

The medallion is a three-and-one quarter inch circular pendant form made from sterling silver and accented with two blue Sapphire cabochon stones (smooth rounded stones). The dimensional medallion design features a cast sterling silver relief of the Georgia Southern University seal design. The center of the seal design includes a relief image of the iconic Marvin Pittman Administration building on historic Sweetheart Circle. Encircling the central seal design are stylized oak leaf and acorn motifs, the enduring emblem of strength, stability, honor and longevity. Each oak leaf is crafted in relief and hand engraved. A smaller oak leaf motif continues on the reverse side.

ACADEMIC DISTINCTIONgraduatioN WitH HoNorS

Undergraduate students, who accomplish a high level of academic achievement, as reflected by their grade point average, receive distinction as follows:

3.5-3.69 Cum Laude3.7-3.89 Magna Cum Laude 3.9-4.0 Summa Cum Laude

Students graduating with honors are distinguished at commencement exercises by a blue and white honor cord attached to the left shoulder of their gowns. Their distinction is recognized by notation on their diplomas and on their academic transcripts.

HoNorS college ScHolarS

The Honors College offers a special Honors curriculum to a select group of academically talented students. In addition to high academic standards, the College requires a substantial commitment to experiential learning and completion of an Honors Thesis. The diplomas of graduating Honors College Scholars are distinguished by the Honors designation.

NOTE: Since programs are prepared in advance of the receipt of final grades, the listing of candidates and honor recipients may, in some instances, be inaccurate. Also, in addition to GPA, there are other requirements to qualify for graduation with honors. After graduation and all final grades are recorded and all degree requirements are complete, honors are re-calculated and will be added to diplomas and transcripts, if honors are achieved.

THE SYMBOLS OF ACADEMIC TRADITIONMACELeading the processional of faculty and administration is the Macebearer, the faculty member holding the rank of Professor with the highest seniority of service at Georgia Southern University.

The mace is a two-and-one-half foot shaft and sphere of cast Everdur bronze and carved American walnut. This representation of the ceremonial symbol of office and authority was designed and crafted in 1988 by Thomas P. Steadman, associate professor of art. Its angular forms and low-gloss finishes are reminiscent of the medieval battle mace from which the more scepter-like academic mace evolved.

The design of the mace blends forms suggested by native flora of south Georgia. The magnolia leaves and stems encircling the head of the mace in a double helix symbolize Georgia Southern’s link with its region. A small ballast rock, found on the Georgia coast and traced to probable British origin, is embedded in the finial base of the shaft representing the foundation of the institution.

REGALIAThe academic regalia worn by faculty and administration at today’s commencement ceremony traces its origin to that worn by faculty and students at medieval European universities. The robes and hoods have evolved as ceremonial garments signifying level of degree, academic field and the awarding institution. Today’s gowns for associate, baccalaureate, master’s, education specialist and doctoral degrees are made of a rayon blend, always black. Associate and bachelor’s gowns have pointed sleeves and are worn closed. The master’s gowns, also worn closed, have an oblong sleeve with a base that hangs open at the wrist.

The specialist and doctoral gown is the most elaborate, with a much fuller cut and velvet panels on the sleeves, around the neck, and down the front. These panels may be black or the color that symbolizes the subject field in which the degree was earned.

The hoods are black, three and one-half feet long, lined with the official colors of the institution, and trimmed in velvet in the color of the degree field.

Caps in the form of mortar boards are made of cotton poplin or a similar material. The tassel may be any one of three different colors—black, metallic gold, or the color representative of the major field in which the degree was earned.

DOUBLE EAGLEThe Double Eagle Society is an incentive program and a joint initiative between the College of Graduate Studies and the Alumni Association of Georgia Southern. This initiative was created to recognize our alumni who have earned two (or more) degrees from Georgia Southern: one undergraduate degree and one graduate degree or two graduate degrees.

Davis is best known for his work with Dale Earnhardt Jr., a 2022 NASCAR Hall-of-Fame inductee, two-time New York Times best-selling author, and one of this generation’s most recognizable and successful athlete brands. Nineteen of Davis’ 21 years in NASCAR have been dedicated to Earnhardt Jr.’s businesses, starting as the racer’s publicist in 2004, becoming his road manager in 2007, and emerging as the managing director for the Dale Jr. Brand in 2016.

Davis is the founder of Dirty Mo Media, an original content company and production studio. Through Dirty Mo Media’s platform he created nationally recognized franchises such as The Dale Jr. Download, a weekly Apple Top-40 sports podcast and NBC Universal simulcast. Davis also was the executive producer and writer for the award-winning Peacock original streaming series “Lost Speedways.”

In 2004 Davis was named by Sports Illustrated as one of “40 Under 40 With the Coolest Job In America.” He orchestrated the publicity efforts of several major news events, including Earnhardt Jr.’s unexpected move from family-owned Dale Earnhardt Inc. to motorsports powerhouse, Hendrick Motorsports, as well as two Daytona 500 victories. Davis also helped Earnhardt Jr. navigate through concussions in 2016 and eventual retirement in 2017, all of which culminated in Earnhardt Jr.’s writing of the acclaimed book, Racing To The Finish: My Story.

Davis is originally from Birmingham, Alabama but spent most of his early life in Ringgold, Georgia. He is a 2001 graduate of Georgia Southern University. As a student at Georgia Southern he was an award-winning sports editor for The George-Anne newspaper before finishing his student career in the athletic media relations office.

Today Davis resides in Charlotte, North Carolina with his wife of 18 years, Sarah, and their two daughters, Gracie and Lilly.

DEIRDRE “DEE” DIXON

Deirdre “Dee” Dixon became the CEO of the American Red Cross of Georgia on June 1, 2021. She oversees the Red Cross mission to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies, statewide, by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. More than 10 million people in 159 Georgia counties benefit from the Red Cross programs under Dixon’s leadership. This includes providing lifesaving blood; disaster preparedness, response, and recovery support; training in lifesaving skills; and emergency services for military and international families in one of the 10 largest Red Cross regions in the country.

Dixon joined the Georgia Red Cross as Chief Development Officer in December 2017. During her tenure, Development secured more than 81 million dollars for the Red Cross mission and played a pivotal role in fundraising for local and national disaster relief operations.

She also made contributions to the organization as the Division Biomed leader for the Blood Saves Lives Initiative in 2019 and led the Diversity Blood Session for the National Fundraising Conference in 2020. In Georgia, Dixon paved the way for a Sickle Cell Disease awareness campaign that developed partnerships and virtual education forums with Historically Black Colleges and Universities, elected officials and faith-based communities.

Prior to joining the Red Cross, Dixon led cross-functional teams of district managers and up to 130 frontline team members at Grainger Industrial Supply as their Senior Director of Account Management Sales. In that role, she helped create successful strategic plans that generated a continued year-over-year growth in profitable revenue for the organization.

Dixon earned her Master of Business Administration at Kennesaw State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing from Georgia Southern University. She was raised in Metter, Georgia, and is now a resident of Gwinnett County.

Dixon and her husband, a recently retired middle school assistant principal, are the proud parents of two, graduate school-aged daughters. She loves mentoring young women, cooking and karaoke-singing. Her family teases her that her blood type is “G” for all things Georgia.

EMERITUS FACULTYPresident Marrero has recommended to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia that the following Deans, faculty and staff member be granted emeritus status upon retirement:

DR. MARTHA L. ABELL, Professor of Mathematics, who will retire May 31, 2022. Dr. Abell received her BS degree in Mathematics (1983) from Mercer University, and her MS in Applied Mathematics (1987) and Ph.D. in Mathematics (1989) from the Georgia Institute of Technology. She joined the faculty at Georgia Southern in Fall 1989 as a tenure-track Assistant Professor, earned tenure, and progressed to the rank of Professor of Mathematics. Dr. Abell enjoyed working with students in courses ranging from the core curriculum to the graduate level and was dedicated to helping all students become successful in mathematics. Her research collaborations with colleague James P. Braselton led to the publication of 10 distinct books in 28 editions, some of which were translated into German and Japanese, the publication of numerous peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals, successful grant proposals, and invited addresses at international, national, regional, and state conferences. In recognition of this work, Dr. Abell received the 1995-1996 Georgia Southern Award for Excellence in Research and/or Creative Scholarly Activity. She served as Faculty Assistant to the Vice President for Academic Affairs to assist the campus in its transition from the quarter to semester system. While in this position, she also served on the committee that proposed and developed the University Honors Program (UHP). She spent the 1997-1998 academic year at Georgia Tech as part of the University System of Georgia's Professional Development Program where she assisted the School of Mathematics in their efforts to implement technology-enhanced instructional practices and participated in their mathematical biology research group. After returning to Georgia Southern, she held several administrative positions spanning 17 years beginning in 2001, including Honors Director, Chair of the Department of Mathematical Sciences, and Dean of the College of Science and Mathematics. During her time as an administrator, she successfully completed Georgia Southern's Eagle Leadership Program and the University System of Georgia's Executive Leadership Institute and Accelerated Leadership Academy. She served as an invited speaker on numerous leadership panels locally and in the professional community. The Martha L. Abell Scholarship in Mathematics was established in honor of Dr. Abell by generous donations from members of the College of Science and Mathematics Advisory Board and was endowed by the Abell family and friends. Dr. Abell held leadership positions in several campus organizations, including Librarian of the Faculty Senate, Chair of the Honors Day Committee, President of the American Association of University Professors, President of Phi Kappa Phi, and Faculty Advisor to the Epsilon Pi Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority. She also served the University System of Georgia as Chair of the Academic Advisory Committee on Mathematical Subjects. Within the professional community, Dr. Abell served as President of the Southeastern Atlantic Section of the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). She also served in many leadership positions in the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), including Chair, Governor, and Secretary/Treasurer of the MAA Southeastern Section, Chair of the MAA Council on Meetings, and on the leadership team that developed the MAA Instructional Practices, among others. She received the 2016 MAA Southeastern Section Distinguished Service Award and the 2019 MAA Meritorious Service Award. For these many contributions to the University, college, department and profession, Dr. Abell has earned the title of Professor Emerita of Mathematics.

DR. ALLISON AMONETTE, Associate Professor of Chemistry, who will retire from Georgia Southern University and the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry May 31, 2022. Dr. Amonette earned a BS in Biology and Chemistry (1992) from Western Kentucky University and an MS (1995) and Ph.D. (1998) with a specialization in Physical Chemistry from the Ohio State University. For more than 20 years, Dr. Amonette has been a beloved faculty member at Georgia Southern University. Her students welcomed her instruction and positive impact on their learning in the classroom and laboratory. She was committed to student success both inside and outside the classroom and was always willing to lend a supportive hand to anyone. Dr. Amonette's scholarship was focused on the use of x-ray diffraction to solve complicated chemical problems. Central to this work was the inclusion of students in her research efforts. Structural analysis by x-ray crystallography provides information on the three-dimensional orientation of chemical and biochemical systems to understand their properties. Her research with students contributed to the vast knowledge base necessary to understand these chemical structures. She believes this work with students is critical because it gives them hands-on experience with analytical tools used extensively in industry and other research universities. This work resulted in more than 16 publications and multiple funded grants during her tenure at Georgia Southern University. Dr. Amonette's teaching, service and scholarly accomplishments at Georgia Southern University have been longstanding and impactful, making her recognition as Associate Professor Emerita of Chemistry well deserved.

DR. JAMES D. BIGLEY, Professor of Recreation and Tourism Management, who is retiring May 31, 2022. Dr. Bigley earned his BS (1980) and his MS (1982) in Recreation Resources Management from Slippery Rock State College and his Ph.D. (1989) in Recreation Resources Development with an emphasis in Cultural Resources Management from Texas A&M University. He is also a graduate of the Winedale Museum Seminar conducted by the Texas Historical Commission. Prior to joining Georgia Southern University, Dr. Bigley served as the Curator and Assistant Superintendent of the Admiral Nimitz Museum (National Museum of the Pacific War), Fredericksburg, Texas (1986-1989). Dr. Bigley joined the faculty at Georgia Southern University in 1991 as an assistant professor, was promoted to associate professor in 1996, and professor in 2015. During his tenure, Dr. Bigley served twice as the program coordinator of the Recreation and Tourism Management Program. He has served on numerous school, college and university committees as well the Georgia Southern Museum Advisory Board and Curators Committee. He has taught 33 different courses at Georgia Southern, including Recreation Management, Tourism Management, Cultural Resources and Heritage Tourism Planning, Marketing Recreation Services, Conference and Event Planning, Computer Applications, Evaluation and Research, and many others. Dr. Bigley was instrumental in the revitalization of the Southeast States Chapter of the Travel and Tourism Research Association (SETTRA) and served as President, Vice President, and board member. Dr. Bigley has been awarded the Georgia Southern University Award for Excellence in Service, the College of Health and Human Sciences Award for Excellence in Service, and the “Outstanding Volunteer Service Award” from the Statesboro Convention and Visitors Bureau. Dr. Bigley’s scholarly interests focus on the development and marketing of heritage- and nature-based tourism attractions; the study, documentation, and

FREEDOM

Freedom is a non-releasable American Bald Eagle permitted to Georgia Southern University’s Center for Wildlife Education & Lamar Q Ball Jr. Raptor Center

Today, Georgia Southern University acknowledges the remarkable achievements of our graduates and celebrates a popular and enduring commencement tradition with the appearance of Freedom, our American Bald Eagle mascot. Freedom’s appearance during the singing of the Georgia Southern Alma Mater signifies the conclusion of the commencement ceremony. He serves not only as an ambassador for wildlife, but as an iconic reminder of the strength and majesty of our nation.

Freedom is a male Southern bald eagle that was found knocked out of the nest in Maitland, Florida. Only weeks old and appearing like a “brown ball of fuzz,” it was discovered that the young eagle had an injury to his beak and suffered from an infection. Rushed to the Florida Audubon Center for Birds of Prey, Freedom made a complete recovery from the infection, but the injury to his beak was permanent, preventing his release into the wild. With the permission of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Georgia Southern acquired Freedom in 2004.

Through the Georgia Southern University Center for Wildlife Education and Lamar Q Ball Jr. Raptor Center, thousands of visitors young and old are embraced by the power of Freedom. Freedom is one of four American Bald Eagles housed at the 18-acre sanctuary, located in the heart of Georgia Southern’s Statesboro Campus. The Center also contains numerous species of native raptors, reptiles and amphibians.

Did You Know?

The bald eagle is found only in North America.

The bald eagle became the official symbol of the United States of America in 1782.

Georgia Southern University adopted the eagle as its symbol in 1960.

The bald eagle owes its name to the Middle English term “balled,” meaning “shining white.” The adult bald eagle’s head and neck feathers are all white, giving it the name “balled eagle,” meaning “white eagle.”

The bald eagle has a wingspan of 6-8 ft., and makes its home along coastlines and large bodies of fresh water.

Eagles are mature at five years of age.

Eagles require a 25-mile hunting territory and appear to mate for life (can live as long as 50 years).

More than 40 years ago, the bald eagle was nearing extinction with just 417 nesting pairs of the birds known in the United States. Today, the bird has made a remarkable comeback and is now off the Endangered Species List.

In 1983, no nesting pair of eagles could be found in Georgia. Today, Georgia has more than 200 known nesting pairs throughout the state.
