Carthage.”

WELCOME

Welcome to the Commencement ceremonies for the Carthage College Class of 2026! This is an occasion of great pride for our institution as we recognize the outstanding accomplishments of our graduates. Over the course of their academic journey, these students have demonstrated excellence in scholarship, leadership, and service — qualities that define the very best of Carthage.

Today’s celebration also belongs to the families, friends, professors, and mentors who have supported our graduates throughout their journey. Your patience, perspective, and presence have helped shape their success. Thank you for being the steady foundation behind these remarkable achievements.

Commencement is more than a ceremony. It is a time of promise and purpose. Our graduates leave here not only with knowledge, but with the confidence and character to make a difference in the world. As they step forward into new careers, advanced studies, and bold adventures, we offer our heartfelt congratulations and unwavering support.

Congratulations, Class of 2026!

Here are a few reminders to help you make the most of your time on campus.

Friday’s Commencement Ceremony will include a formal procession of faculty and graduates. Please stay seated during this procession. The evening will include the conferring of degrees, marking the official start of each graduate’s next chapter. Degree candidates will stand as a group as degrees are conferred.

During Saturday’s graduation ceremonies, each graduate will cross the stage and receive their diploma. The 10 a.m. ceremony is for graduates in the School of Business and Economics and the Division of Natural and Social Sciences. The 2 p.m. ceremony is for graduates in the Division of Arts and Humanities, the Education Department, and the School of Health.

A professional photographer will capture a photo of each graduate as they cross the stage. Graduates will receive an email in approximately two weeks with information on how to access these photos.

Please note that all event seating is unassigned, except for graduates and faculty. Handicapped seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Restrooms are located downstairs by the concession area.

At the conclusion of each ceremony, we ask that all guests remain seated until the platform party, faculty, and graduates have recessed from the Field House.

We kindly ask graduates and guests attending the 10 a.m. Graduation Ceremony to depart campus no later than 1:30 p.m. to make room for graduates and guests arriving for the 2 p.m. Graduation Ceremony.

SYMBOLS, TRADITIONS, AND REGALIA

The Commencement procession at Carthage is led by the crucifer, symbolizing the centrality of the Christian faith to the College as a community of faith and a community of learning. The cross will be carried by the following graduates during this year’s ceremonies:

Jada Moss ’26 Amber Pico ’26

Gracie Underwood ’26

Oliver Juarez Wunderlin ’26

Following the crucifer is the macebearer, one of the longest-serving faculty members, who symbolizes the authority of the faculty to approve the awarding of degrees. This year’s macebearers are Annette Duncan, associate professor of English, and Mark Snavely, professor of mathematics.

The faculty wear traditional academic attire that principally consists of a cap, gown, and hood. The cap worn almost universally in academic processions is the Oxford cap, better known as the mortarboard. Poetry teaches us that the cap of scholarship is square to symbolize a book. It is always black. A different style, called the Cambridge cap, resembles a large beret.

The tradition of wearing a dark robe in academic processions is thought to have arisen from the clerical practice of wearing a cape or mantle in religious processions during the 12th and 13th centuries. In recent years, however, a number of universities have incorporated other hues that signify the schools’ traditional colors. The master’s gown has long, pointed, closed sleeves. The traditional doctoral gown is faced down the front and across the sleeves with velvet in a color representing the discipline of the degree recipient.

The academic hoods, worn around the neck and down the back of the gown, are lined with the official colors of the college or university conferring the degree. The color of the binding or edging of the hood usually represents the discipline: Arts, Letters, and Humanities – White; Business, Economics, and Commerce – Olive, Drab, or Copper; Education – Light Blue or Sage Green; Engineering – Orange; Fine Arts – Brown; Music – Pink; Philosophy – Dark Blue; Physical Education – Sage Green; Science – Golden Yellow; Social Science – Cream; Social Work – Citron; and Theology – Scarlet.

Placed on the stage at Commencement, the Key of Knowledge has symbolized the transfer of leadership from the graduating class to the rising seniors since 1927

• Presented by Adriana Respondi Trocchio ’26 to Kai Bek ’27

Graduates who have achieved academic honors receive cords

• Cum laude (3 5-3 69 GPA) — Black and gold cords

• Magna cum laude (3 7-3 89 GPA) — Red and gold cords

• Summa cum laude (3 9+ GPA) — White and gold cords

Graduates may be wearing stoles for their academic honor society, study abroad achievement, other academic achievement, or institutionally recognized student club or organization.

The Lord be with you.

And also with you.

Let us pray…You have been, are now, and promise to always grace us with your love and inspiration. Abiding in your presence, we gather around these 2026 Carthage graduates. Support them in what is to come, and guide them into being who you have created and called them to be as your beloved ones.

On this sacred, celebratory day, we pray for the church, the world, those in need, and all of God’s creation. Each prayer petition will conclude “We pray to the Lord.” Then together we will sing this response each time:

19“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

John R. Swallow is the 24th president of Carthage. His teaching, research, and leadership experience at small liberal arts colleges totals more than 30 years.

Since taking office in 2017, President Swallow has led Carthage to its strongest years ever. Despite the challenges confronting higher education, the College has posted record enrollment, dramatically reduced equity gaps in retention, and launched nearly two dozen new degree programs.

He has served extensively on boards connected to higher education and economic development. President Swallow is past chair of both the Milwaukee-area Higher Education Regional Alliance and the Kenosha Area Business Alliance.

President Swallow left high school at age 15 to enroll at the University of the South and went on to complete two master’s degrees and a Ph.D., all in mathematics, from Yale University.

Civic leader and retired businesswoman Gina Madrigrano Friebus ’76 was elected chair of the Carthage Board of Trustees in May 2025.

After an impactful 33-year career, she retired in 2009 as vice president of administration at W.O.W. Distributing Co. — then one of Wisconsin’s largest beverage distributors. A tireless advocate for women in business, Ms. Madrigrano Friebus co-founded Tempo Kenosha and continues to serve on its board. In 2019-20, she co-chaired the 150 Years of Carthage Women celebration.

In addition to her 15 years as a Carthage trustee, Ms. Madrigrano Friebus sits on the boards of the Saint Joseph Catholic Academy Foundation and the Pleasant Prairie Police Appreciation Association. She received Carthage’s Distinguished Alumni Service Award (2011), became just the second woman honored as Person of the Year by the Italian American Society of Kenosha (2014), and earned the Susan B. Anthony Lifetime Achievement Award (2020).

As provost and executive vice president for operations, David M. Timmerman oversees academic affairs and other student-focused functions at Carthage.

Provost Timmerman came to Carthage in 2018 from Monmouth College in Illinois, where he was dean of the faculty and vice president of academic affairs. He began his academic career at Wabash College in Indiana, where he received the McLain-McTurnan-Arnold Award for Outstanding Teaching in 2005.

With a Ph.D. in communication from Purdue University, he has extensively studied rhetoric — both its use in ancient Greece and its development in conjunction with the birth of democracy and the liberal arts tradition. Provost Timmerman has published several books and many journal articles on the subject.

An ordained minister, Provost Timmerman has served in various roles at three Evangelical Covenant Church congregations.

As the recipient of the Distinguished Senior Award, Marcus Stubbs will deliver the senior class address at Commencement.

Majoring in criminal justice and sociology, Marcus completed his studies in December and works as a legal assistant for Blitt & Gaines PC. He plans to attend law school, with an eye toward environmental law.

Marcus has been a key component of Carthage’s Mock Trial team, which achieved its highest winning percentage ever this past season. He completed an internship with Hall Render law firm, where he organized a sports equipment donation drive for underserved youths.

In addition, Marcus volunteered for Planned Parenthood, served as a Mock Trial judge, and helped coach track and field at his high school.
