President Troy D. Hammond
D
r. Troy D. Hammond became the 10th president of North Central
College on January 1, 2013. Since then, North Central has continued
to grow its enrollment and earn national recognition as a top-ranked
college. To build on these successes, Hammond initiated the building of a
new residence hall and launched the Brilliant Future Campaign with the
construction of a new science center as its cornerstone.
Hammond earned a Ph.D. in experimental atomic physics from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1996. He holds a variety of
patents in materials science and technology and has published extensively
about physics, nanotechnology, polymer electronics, solar power and other energy technologies.
A native of Kokomo, Ind., Hammond graduated magna cum laude with a B.S. in mathematics from Milligan
College in 1989 and continues to value his undergraduate liberal arts experience. Hammond then earned a second
undergraduate degree, a B.S. in physics from Georgia Tech. A prestigious National Science Foundation fellowship
paved his way to the doctoral program at MIT. There Hammond met his wife Sharlene, who holds a chemistry
degree from MIT and a master of science degree in nursing from Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of
Health Professions.
After graduate school, Hammond served as associate principal at McKinsey & Company, a leading management
consulting firm. He later joined Plextronics, Inc., and helped to build the small technology company into a global
leader in printed electronics. He also taught in the M.B.A. program at Milligan College as an adjunct professor.
Hammond served as president of the energy services business at BlueStar Energy in Chicago prior to joining North
Central College.
In 2013, Hammond was named one of 60 outstanding alumni of the National Science Foundation’s highly
competitive Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP). Hammond and a handful of other GRFP alumni,
including former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and University of Chicago President Robert Zimmer,
were chosen from among more than 46,500 Fellows to be honored for their professional accomplishments.

Harold R. Wilde, Ph.D.
R. Devadoss Pandian, Ph.D.
President Emeritus
Dr. Harold “Hal” R. Wilde, President Emeritus and Life Trustee of North
Central College, became the ninth president of North Central College
in 1991. During his tenure, the College saw a tenfold increase in its
endowment, continuous balanced budgets, 100 percent growth in fulltime undergraduate enrollments, and the largest individual, corporate
and foundation gifts and bequests in the College’s history. These gifts
made possible 13 endowed faculty chairs and six Ruge Fellows, a 500
percent rise in scholarship support, 15 major construction projects
and significant campus expansion. Under his leadership the College
implemented its first comprehensive new curriculum in 30 years and
broadened its commitment to international programming, servicelearning, interdisciplinary studies and sustainability. Wilde’s legacy
will always be the building of a healthy endowment, nurturing great
teaching and student achievement, transforming the campus with
modern facilities and a strong vision for enrollment and student life.
Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty
Dr. R. Devadoss Pandian, who today becomes professor of mathematics
and dean of faculty emeritus, has served North Central College as a
mathematics professor and as vice president for academic affairs and dean
of faculty for 30 years.
Among his many accomplishments are the hiring of more than 75
percent of the current faculty and supporting top teaching, scholarship,
recognition and self-governance; encouraging research for students in
all disciplines and graduate school preparation; advocating for a foreign
language requirement, new academic programs and program review; and
establishing a “Verandah” culture that promotes interaction between
faculty and students outside the classroom. As a result of these initiatives,
in 2015 North Central College earned recognition as a top producer of
Fulbright scholars and consistently receives honors for students by the
national Goldwater Scholarship program.
Pandian began his career in a one-room school in India and went on
to receive degrees from Madras University and Madurai University in
mathematics. He earned a doctorate from George Washington University in
1983. He joined the College in 1985 as associate professor of mathematics,
became professor in 1989 and served as Science Division chair. During
his career, he earned the College’s Dissinger Award for development of
teaching (1985) and for outstanding teaching by a senior faculty member
(1995). He also received a Burlington-Northern Foundation Faculty
Achievement Award in 1990.
Wilde continues to be involved in leadership roles with higher
education-related organizations, including Educational & Institutional
Insurance Administrators (EIIA) and Bottomline-Chicago, which helps
low-income and first-generation-to-college students get to and through
college.
Wilde received his undergraduate degree with high honors from
Amherst College and a Ph.D. in government from Harvard University.
A native of Wisconsin, he served several years in Wisconsin state
government, including four as insurance commissioner. He was special
assistant to the president of the University of Wisconsin System and
vice president for external relations at Beloit College, where he served
before being named North Central College’s president.
He and his wife Priscilla are the parents of two adult children,
Satyan ’93 and Divya ’95, both mathematics professors, and grandparents
of six grandchildren.
He is married to Benna Brecher Wilde and they are the parents of three
adult children (Anna, Henry and Elizabeth) and grandparents of six
grandchildren.

Aw a r d s
The Gael D. Swing Award for Meritorious Service
The Mark A. Reid Leadership Award
The North Central College Gael D. Swing Award for Meritorious Service
was established in tribute to the eighth president of North Central
College, who died in 1990 just one month before completing his 15th
year as president. Under President Swing’s leadership, the College
substantially improved its physical facilities and financial condition
while nearly tripling its enrollment; gained regional and national
recognition for the quality of its academic programs, its faculty and its
students; and instituted the Leadership, Ethics and Values Program. The
Swing Award is presented at Commencement to recognize alumni,
trustees and friends of North Central College whose service to the
institution exemplifies the quality and integrity that were hallmarks
of Gael D. Swing’s distinguished tenure as president of North
Central College.
The Mark A. Reid Leadership Award is named in honor of a young man
who died in an automobile accident in 1984 during his term as president
of the North Central College Student Association. The recipient of this
annual award is determined by a vote of the senior class. It is presented
to a student at Commencement who has demonstrated outstanding
leadership ability, served prominently as a positive influence in student
affairs, encouraged active involvement of others in the life of the College
community, and exemplified the qualities of citizenship associated with
Mark A. Reid.
The Harold and Eva White
First Citizen of the College Award
The Harold and Eva White First Citizen of the College Award was
created to recognize, at Commencement a member of the North Central
College “family”—faculty, staff or student—who exemplifies the best
of the College. Established in 1992, the award honors a “unique spirit
and legacy” at North Central College, that of longtime editors and
publishers of The Naperville Sun, the late Harold and Eva White, both
graduates of the Class of 1935.
#NCGrad2015
Harold and Eva White displayed a special spirit and citizenship in the
community and on campus. Through their caring editorship of The
Naperville Sun over more than a half century, their philanthropy and
their generosity of spirit, they shaped what is great about North Central
College and Naperville.
Eva White was a member of North Central College’s Board of Trustees
for 16 years and served as board secretary from 1986 until her death in
1990. She received an honorary doctor of letters degree in 1987. Harold
White, who was named a North Central College Outstanding Alumnus in
1975, was awarded an honorary doctor of letters degree by the College
in 1977 and was named an honorary trustee of the College in 1991. He
passed away in 1993.
The 2015 Dissinger Memorial Awards
The Clarence F. Dissinger and Ruth C. Dissinger Memorial Awards are
funded by endowments established by Dr. Carl ’21 and Ruth Dissinger ’22
Althaus in memory of her brother, a member of the Class of 1921, and later
by Dr. Althaus in memory of his wife. Awards are made to faculty and staff
who have distinguished themselves in teaching, scholarship and service
“over and above the call of duty.” North Central College wishes to further
recognize these outstanding educators and administrators.

Academic Regalia
International Participants
The pageantry and color of an academic convocation such as today’s
Commencement come to us from early medieval times, when
academic robes and regalia were adapted from ecclesiastical garb.
Most robes were black to symbolize the democracy of scholarship,
since they covered any dress indicating rank or social standing.
Sashes embroidered with international flags are being worn by
students who either come from that country or have studied there
while enrolled at North Central College. In addition, the flags next to the
stage represent the home countries of international students who are
graduating today or who studied this academic year at North Central.

Three levels of academic achievement are represented by different
types of gowns today. Successful completion of the bachelor’s degree
is symbolized by the bachelor’s gown, made of black material with
long, pointed sleeves. The master’s gown is black and is identified by
its oblong sleeve, square at the end and sealed.
Although some universities prescribe a solid color such as red or
green for doctoral gowns, most in the United States are black.
Doctoral gowns have vertical stripes of velvet trim on each front
facing, and crossbars of velvet on the sleeves. This trim may be black,
or it may match the edging of the hood, which indicates the profession
or field of major interest. These gowns have bell-shaped sleeves.
The length and shape of the academic hood, and the width of its velvet
edging, identify the level of the degree the wearer has earned, while the
color of the velvet edging indicates the field or discipline in which the
degree was granted.
“College Scholar” is a recognition awarded to those North Central
students who have completed the College Scholars Honors Program,
a rigorous curriculum that culminates in the completion of a senior
honors thesis. A solid gold honor cord symbolizes the “excellence
through community” that is this program’s motto. In addition, select
North Central College students have been inducted into national
honor societies. The following lists the cord colors.
For formal processions, members of North Central’s Board of Trustees
traditionally wear doctoral gowns and hoods with a red and white
lining to represent the College.
The gown and hood worn by President Troy D. Hammond reflect his
doctoral degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT). Cardinal red and silver gray, the official school colors of MIT,
also appear in his headwear. The dark blue velvet trim on the hood
signifies the color of his Ph.D.
Caps, generally mortarboards with tassels, have their own
significance. Some international degree holders wear special hats
distinctive to their degree and institution. Master’s and bachelor’s
tassels are black, while the doctorate tassel may be black or gold.
The doctoral cap may be made of velvet. Those North Central College
students wearing gold tassels on their caps today are graduating with
honors— cum laude, magna cum laude or summa cum laude.
#NCGrad2015
The North Central College seal was designed in 1925 for Pfeiffer
Hall to symbolize North Central’s early academic tradition: religion,
signified by the lamp, and learning, represented by the book. The
words “lux” and “veritas” mean “light” and “truth” in Latin.

Honor Cords
Because members of the North Central College faculty completed
their graduate work at many different educational institutions in
this country and abroad, there will be a variety of raiment in today’s
procession. Some degree holders wear no hood because their
academic robe itself symbolizes the degree awarded.

The seal is featured on the presidential medallion, which is worn
by the president in ceremonies requiring academic regalia. The
medallion reflects the president’s authority, responsibility and role as
representative of the campus community. Cast in bronze, the medal
is inscribed with the names and service dates of the previous nine
presidents.
