Symbolism and TraditionProcessionA traditional academic procession introduces the commencement exercises at Minnesota State University, Mankato. The wearing of distinctive apparel as an indication of scholarship and academic rank dates back to the 1300s and was adopted in the United States circa 1900.

GownThe Minnesota State University, Mankato President’s Academic Gown has been specially constructed of heirloom-quality materials for use during formal academic occasions. The bachelor’s gown is relatively simple, falling in straight lines from an elaborate yoke. The master’s gown is distinguished by its longer sleeves.

University HistoryMankato Normal School opened as the state’s second teacher training school in 1868 in downtown Mankato with 27 students. Tuition was free in return for a student’s pledge to teach two years in Minnesota’s schools. Old Main was constructed in 1870, and this marked the beginning of the Valley Campus that would serve the institution for a century. In the 1880s, the school expanded and curriculum grew. In 1921 the school became Mankato State Teachers College, and in 1927 the institution awarded its first four-year degree, a bachelor of education.

In the late 1950s, the school was renamed Mankato State College, and construction began on the 300-acre Highland Campus. The College maintained two locations for several years. In 1975, the College received full university status. Four years later consolidation on the Highland Campus was complete. In 1998, for the fifth time in its 130-year history, the University adopted a new name to reflect expanded service to Minnesota and the nation. Minnesota State University, Mankato continues to gain renown for the quality of its programs and the breadth of its service.

Dr. Richard Davenport, appointed by the Board of Trustees of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, assumed his responsibilities as the University’s twelfth president on July 1, 2002. Under Dr. Davenport’s leadership, the University has embraced new strategic priorities; engaged in an academic master planning process; examined its commitment to diversity, and begun to take action to become a more inclusive and welcoming campus; and told our story further and wider than ever before, to legislators, leaders, parents, and alumni throughout the state and the nation.

Minnesota State Mankato offers more than 130 undergraduate programs and more than 85 graduate programs, including masters, specialist and doctoral programs. Our 15,000 students — including more than 1,100 international students from more than 90 countries — and 2,000 faculty and staff represent cultural diversity and a rich mix of intellectual and creative perspectives. Our alumni live and work around the globe, making professional and personal contributions that bring the proud Maverick tradition to new heights.
