HISTORY OF BRENAU UNIVERSITYFounded in 1878, Brenau University stands as a distinctive institution of higher learning. The unique name, Brenau,coined from a blend of the German word brennen, meaning to “burn,” and aurum, the Latin word for “gold,”underscores that singularity. It forms the foundation of the Brenau motto, “As Gold Refined by Fire.”As the South was still recovering economically from the ravages of the Civil War in the late 1870s, the formerfrontier boomtown of Gainesville prepared for progressive, evolutionary growth. Civic leaders, headed by GainesvilleFirst Baptist Church Pastor W.C. Wilkes, established the Georgia Baptist Female Seminary to provide much-neededhigher education opportunities for young women. By the beginning of the 20th century, the college evolved into aprivate, nonsectarian liberal arts institution. Dr. H.J. Pearce, who had acquired principal ownership and managementof the school, changed the name to Brenau College. He served almost continuously as president until his death in1943. For about two years thereafter, his widow, Lucile Townsend Pearce, took the helm long enough to put theCollege on its course to serve a world of rapidly escalating change – particularly in the role of women in society.Leadership and GovernanceToday Brenau University is a not-for-profit entity. Stewardship passed to the independent Brenau Board of Trusteesin 1911, a governance role that solidified with Pearce’s death. On July 1, 2019, Dr. Anne A. Skleder was named the10th – and first female – president of Brenau. In her brief time at Brenau, Skleder has introduced a robustcollaborative management approach and has taken significant steps to increase retention efforts.Prior to Brenau, Dr. Skleder worked at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, for five years where sheserved as senior vice president, provost and professor of psychology. Skleder also served as provost, vice president foracademic affairs and professor of psychology at Cabrini University in Radnor, Pennsylvania, as dean of ChathamCollege for Women at Chatham University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and in positions of increasing responsibilityover 16 years at Alvernia University in Reading, Pennsylvania, where she was founding director of what is now titledthe Holleran Center for Community Engagement.Skleder received her bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Pittsburgh, graduating as a UniversityScholar, and her master's degree and doctorate in social and organizational psychology from Temple University. Shealso completed Harvard University’s Institute for Educational Management.Academic and Geographic EvolutionIn the late 1960s, Brenau began teaching career-oriented majors that were compatible with the strong liberal artsfoundation of its core studies. While The Women’s College of Brenau University remains its cornerstone, in the 1970sBrenau created coeducational evening and weekend studies for adult learners and developed graduate studies inbusiness, education and public administration, while expanding career-oriented programs. Today Brenau operatesgraduate and undergraduate programs for men and women at three locations in Gainesville and the Atlanta suburb ofNorcross. In the early 2000s, the university also began offering courses online. It has experienced exponential growthin that platform. Online offerings now include full undergraduate and graduate degree programs.Brenau for the 21st CenturyIn 1992 trustees voted to transform the institution as a whole into Brenau University, while retaining The Women’sCollege. Brenau has since added a steady stream of graduate programs, including its first terminal degrees: a Masterof Fine Arts in Interior Design and a Doctor of Nursing Practice, which produced its first doctoral graduates in May2014. Later that year, the university enrolled its first candidates for an Occupational Therapy Doctorate. In the springof 2015 Brenau seated its first class in the Doctorate of Physical Therapy program and graduated that first cohort inMay 2018. In the spring of 2019, Brenau seated its first class in the Doctorate of Education program.Since 2015, Brenau has affirmed its commitment to The Women’s College with the construction of a new residencehall, sorority houses and a modern athletics park for championship-class women’s intercollegiate sports. It alsocompleted a 40 million fundraising campaign to expand endowments for scholarships and academics in 2018. In thefall of 2019, The Women’s College kicked off its new signature GOLD Program, an integrated, co-curricular programfor all Women’s College students focusing on gender awareness, personal and professional development, service,leadership skills, global perspective, and the advancement of women.4

ACADEMIC REGALIAThe wearing of colorful academic apparel at convocations and commencement ceremonies serves as a reminder of our unionwith an academic heritage whose ceremonial tradition dates to the medieval university. The American fashion of academiccaps and gowns dates back to the nine Colonial Colleges, institutions of higher learning chartered prior to the AmericanRevolution. Students of most Colonial Colleges were required to wear the regalia of their institution on a regular basis, apractice that lasted until the Civil War. Following this period, academic regalia was required to be worn only at formalceremonies. Established codes govern the style of gown, cap, and hood depending on the institution, degree earned, andacademic field. Hoods are commonly worn only by those with a master’s degree or doctoral degree. The interior lining of thehood, generally made of silk, displays the colors of the institution from which the wearer received the degree. The opening ofthe hood, generally made of velvet, uses a color that usually denotes the academic field of study to which the degree pertains.At Brenau University, the lining is gold and black. Below is a list of the most common fields and corresponding colors:Applied Gerontology .goldSchool of Business .khakiCommunication .whiteEducation.light blueHealthcare Management .sageHuman Resources Management.whiteInterior Design .purpleMarketing .khakiMusic.pinkNursing .apricotOccupational Therapy.lavenderPhilosophy.dark bluePhysical Therapy.peacock bluePhysician Assistant Studies.greenPsychology.goldTheology.scarletThe cap, or mortarboard, is designed in a square with the points facing to the front, rear and sides. Brenau Universitydoctoral degree recipients wear a tam-style cap. Each mortarboard has a tassel which is worn on the left side by degreerecipients and on the right side by degree candidates. As a general rule, the tassel is black. Undergraduates with a 3.50 orhigher grade-point average wear black and gold tassels.

The pendant is made from sterling silver, gold and blackenamel.*******THE BRENAU IDEALTo find satisfaction in being rather than in seeming;To find joy in doing rather than in dreaming;To be prepared for service thereby earning the right to be served;To be pure in heart; vigorous in mind, discreet in action;To love deeply, fear nothing, hate never;To enjoy that freedom which comes from knowledge of the “Truth”;To be modestly conscious of the limitations of human knowledgeand serenely confident of the limitless reaches of human endeavor –This is the ideal of Brenau.-H. J. Pearce*******THE BRENAU ALMA MATERBrenau, how nobly we see thee,With honors richly crowned;In all this fair, fair SouthlandThy equal is not found.Oh, happy the day that we sought theeBy Chattahoochee’s side;Where spring gives its first kiss to nature,And summer long doth ’bide*******ODE TO JOYJoyful, joyful, we adore You,God of glory, Lord of love;Hearts unfold like flow’rs before You,Op’ning to the sun above.Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;Drive the dark of doubt away;Giver of immortal gladness,Fill us with the light of day!Mortals, join the mighty chorus,Which the morning stars began;God’s own love is reigning o’er us,Joining people hand in hand.Ever singing, march we onward,Victors in the midst of strife;Joyful music leads us sunwardIn the triumph song of life.8
