2011 COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER
DAVID A. DECENZO
President, Coastal Carolina University
David A. DeCenzo is the president of Coastal Carolina University, a position he has
held since May 7, 2007. His inauguration as the second president of the University in
the fall of that year centered on elements that aptly characterize his life and leadership
– tradition, integrity and excellence.
As president, DeCenzo has implemented a comprehensive strategic planning process,
assured scal accountability through policy and practice, and promoted assessment
and transparency throughout the University. Since he became president in 2007,
the University’s enrollment has grown 11 percent to more than 8,700 students. e
academic program has expanded from 39 to 54 undergraduate degree programs and
three new master’s degree programs have been added. Among other accolades, in both
2009 and 2010 the University has been recognized by Forbes magazine as one of
“America’s Best Colleges” and has been named as one of “America’s Best College Buys.”
Under his leadership, the most ambitious construction program in the University’s 56-
year history is under way. e more than $115 million building campaign includes a
student recreation and convocation center, expected to open during this next academic
year, and three major academic buildings. e Board of Trustees has adopted a new
Campus Master Plan, which will guide future development of the University to achieve
an enrollment target of 12,500 students by 2020.
DeCenzo began his tenure at Coastal Carolina University in 2002 when he became
dean of the E. Craig Wall Sr. College of Business Administration, a position he held
until 2006 when he was named provost of the University. He was instrumental in
establishing the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree in 2006.
In 1986, DeCenzo began a 16-year association with Towson University in Baltimore
as a professor, scholar and administrator. Prior to Towson, he was an assistant professor
at the University of Baltimore and a corporate trainer/employee development specialist
with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Maryland.
DeCenzo grew up in Clinton, Md., near Washington, D.C. He earned a bachelor’s
degree in economics (1978) from the University of Maryland, College Park. He also
earned a master’s degree with emphasis on labor economics (1980) and a Ph.D. in
industrial relations (1981), both from West Virginia University.
He is the author or co-author of nearly 30 textbooks that are used widely at colleges
and universities across the United States and throughout the world. An experienced
industry consultant, corporate trainer and public speaker, DeCenzo has served a wide
variety of clients, including Moen, Citicorp Global Technology and AlliedSignal
Technical Services (Honeywell).
DeCenzo is a member of the board of directors for the North Eastern Strategic
Alliance, Myrtle Beach Regional Economic Development Center, Conway Chamber
of Commerce, South Carolina Sea Grant Consortium, and AVX Corp., among others.

group soon becomes a nonprot organization, the Coastal
Educational Foundation. Coastal Carolina Junior College
opens September 20, 1954, as a branch of the College of
Charleston. Fifty-three students
are enrolled, taught by a handful
of part-time faculty, with classes
meeting after hours in Conway

lege becomes a charter member of

e custom of wearing a distinctive dress for academic ceremonies
dates back to the Middle Ages, when people dressed in keeping with
their class: nobility, clergy or third estate. e faculties of American
universities have worn distinguishing costumes since the beginning,
in 1636, at Harvard University.
Today, academic regalia is worn in the United States by persons
taking part in academic ceremonies in general, at commencement
exercises, at baccalaureate services and at various inauguration
ceremonies, such as the installation of a president, the conferring
of an honorary degree on a distinguished guest or the laying of the
cornerstone of a building.
e institutions awarding degrees, the nature of the degrees and the
major elds of knowledge represented by the degrees can be readily
identied by the designs and colors used.
e baccalaureate gown is the simplest in design. Usually black, it is
distinguished by a wide yoke with shirring in front and back and by
open owing sleeves that end in a point. e baccalaureate gown
is worn closed.
e master’s gown is similar to the baccalaureate gown except that
it has a closed or glove sleeve that is open at the wrist. e master’s
gown has no other trim and may be worn either open or closed.
e doctoral gown is full owing and has large bell-shaped sleeves.
It is trimmed with velvet panels down the front and has velvet
chevrons on the sleeves. While black is still the predominant color
for doctoral gowns, the trim may be in a color that denotes the
wearer’s discipline or the color of the gown may denote the wearer’s
university.
e square Oxford cap, or mortarboard, of serge or broadcloth,
with a sti crown, is traditionally black. Once the baccalaureate
degree has been conferred, the tassel is worn on the left side. e
tassel is usually black, but may be of a color denoting the major
eld of knowledge for bachelor’s and master’s degrees and gold for
doctoral degrees.
e white honor stole, worn around the neck, signies honors to
which the graduating student is entitled, academic grade point
honors and/or Coastal Carolina University honors programs such
as Jackson Scholars, Wall Fellows and the Honors Program.

e greatest degree of symbolism is represented by the hood.
e size and shape of the American hood mark the college
degree attained by the wearer. e lining of the hood is
indicative of the college from which the degree was granted. If
more than one color is used, one color is generally arranged as
a chevron upon the other. e velvet trim of the hood indicates
the major eld of knowledge.

UNIVERSITY TRADITIONS
The University Seal
e seal of Coastal Carolina University designates the founding year of the institution and associates
the campus symbol, the Atheneum, with the coastal locale of the University. Carrying the Latin
motto – Ex Libertate Veritas, From Liberty, Truth – the seal refers to the Temple of Athene in ancient
Athens where professors and students came together. e Greek temple was named for Athena,
the daughter of Zeus, who embodies wisdom and reason. e waves at the foot of the Atheneum
acknowledge a diversied coastal environment encompassing a distinctive geography and history, a
vital present, and an abundant future. e seal was commissioned by Trustee Oran P. Smith as a gift
to celebrate the July 1, 1993, establishment of the University as an independent, public institution
of higher education.
The University Logo
e identifying symbol of Coastal Carolina University captures the dynamic and traditional
commitment of the University to teaching and learning. e Atheneum, constructed on the campus
in 1966, is a recognized architectural symbol of a meeting place for persons engaged in literary and
scientic pursuits. In the logo, the Atheneum is set against an undulating background that captures
the energy and unbounded promise of the institution.
The Presidential Medallion
As symbols of events and aliations, medallions in academic regalia can be traced to religious orders
during the Middle Ages. Since many orders, societies and universities used similar designs – a circle,
cross or an oval – the detailed artwork in the center of the medallion was adopted to dierentiate each
aliation. Colleges and universities traditionally use ceremonial and commemorative medallions for
formal occasions such as commencements, convocations and inaugurations, when academic regalia
is worn. To commemorate Coastal Carolina’s status as an independent University, the institution’s
medallion was commissioned in 1994. e installation of President Ronald R. Ingle on October 22,
1994, was the rst time the Coastal Carolina University Medallion was publicly displayed.
The University Mace
e University mace, the symbol of the Coastal Carolina University community, attaches signicance
to important events of the academic calendar. Commissioned by the Horry County Higher Education
Commission, the mace was designed and crafted by silversmith Alfred D. Ward and presented to the
University in the spring of 1997. e mace is carried during ocial convocations of the University
by the senior member of the faculty. When not being used for a convocation, the mace is on display
in the boardroom of the E. Craig Wall Sr. College of Business Administration.
e three-dimensional, 48-inch sta is topped with a 22-karat gold-plate model of the campus
symbol, the Atheneum. Modied relief seals of the University and engraved lettering embellish the
sterling silver cup. Supported by a base of solid walnut, the stem of the mace is adorned with sterling
silver shells, reecting the coastal location of the University. On the base of the stem is an engraved
seal of the state of South Carolina, representing the University’s status as a public institution.
Originally used as weapons during the Middle Ages, maces came to be viewed as symbols of authority
and were adopted by ocials of English municipalities by the end of the 16th century. Maces are now
used for legislative assemblies, ecclesiastical processions, and at college and university ceremonies of
outstanding importance, such as commencements.
