SATURDAY, THE NINTH DAY OF MAY TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY-SIX Dr. WILLIAM H. EXUM CENTER FRANKFORT, KENTUCKY

Congratulations Class of 2026

Today is a day of celebration, reflection, and pride. On behalf of Kentucky State University, I offer my heartfelt congratulations to each member of the Class of 2026.

Commencement is more than the completion of a degree. It is the recognition of hard work, persistence, sacrifice, and growth. Each of you has followed a path shaped by commitment and purpose, and that journey has brought you to this important milestone.

During your time at Kentucky State, you have developed knowledge,

sharpened your judgment, and prepared for lives of leadership and service. You have grown as students and as individuals. You have contributed to this University through your presence, your effort, and your determination to move forward.

As graduates, you now carry with you not only the benefit of your education, but also the responsibility that comes with it. The world you are entering needs people of integrity, courage, and vision. It needs graduates who are prepared to think clearly, work diligently, and lead in ways that strengthen their communities and open doors for others.

Kentucky State University has long stood for opportunity, excellence, and impact. You are now part of that continuing legacy. You join generations of Thorobreds who have used their education to make meaningful contributions across Kentucky and far beyond.

I hope you will always remember what this institution has poured into you and what you, in turn, have given to it. The Hill will always be part of your story, and you will always be part of ours.

As you begin what comes next, move forward with confidence, humility, and purpose. Hold fast to your values. Continue to learn. Continue to serve. Continue to lead.

We are proud of you, and we look forward to all you will accomplish. Congratulations, Class of 2026.

Kentucky State University Heritage

From its modest beginnings as a robust school for the training of African American teachers, Kentucky State University has grown into a comprehensive research land-grant institution that prepares a student population to compete in a multifaceted, ever-changing global society.

Kentucky State University began as an idea on October 15, 1885. The Commonwealth needed more normal schools to train African American teachers for employment in its Black elementary schools. On May 18, 1886, Kentucky's legislators authorized the school's creation and the city of Frankfort donated $1,500, a considerable amount in 1886, and a site on a scenic bluff overlooking the town. The campus was chartered as the State Normal School for Colored Persons and became the second state-supported institution of higher learning in Kentucky.

Recitation Hall, now Jackson Hall, was the college's first building and erected in 1887. The new school opened on October 11, 1887, with three teachers, 55 students, and John Henry Jackson as its first president.

Kentucky State became a land-grant college in 1890 and the departments of home economics, agriculture, and mechanics were added to the school's curriculum. The school produced its first graduating class of five students in the spring of 1890.

school's curriculum. The school produced its first graduating class of five students in the spring of 1890.

A high school was organized in 1893. This expansion continued into the 20th century in both name and program. In 1902, the name was changed to Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute for Colored Persons. The name was changed again in 1926 to Kentucky State Industrial College for Colored Persons. In the early 1930's, the high school was discontinued, and in 1938 the school was named the Kentucky State College for Negroes. In 1938 the school gained full accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. In 1952, the school was named Kentucky State College and finally, in 1972, the school officially became Kentucky State University.

Since its humble beginnings, Kentucky State University now spans 1,100 acres, which includes a 301-acre agricultural research farm, 106-acre research and demonstration facility and a 306-acre environmental education research center. Today, KSU boasts 3 Colleges, 30 degree programs, 30 certificates, 7 residence halls, 12 athletic teams, 2,300 students, and 450 faculty and staff.

UNIVERSITY MACE

The mace is a club-shaped staff used as a symbol of authority. It was originally a weapon of the middle ages with a long handle, heavily weighted on the end. The heavy end became an iron ball as the sciences of war developed, and archers and other unmounted warriors used the mace as a hand arm. The mace was also used as a symbol of authority by some church officials, the British House of Commons, and the United States House of Representatives. Sergeants at arms, who were the guards of kings and other high officials, also carried maces. Even today, a gleaming white mace still rests on the table at meetings in many nations, symbolizing royal and legislative authority. Gradually, the mace gained a ceremonial character and today it is used during inaugurations, commencements and other formal processions. The Kentucky State University Mace is carried in by the Faculty Senate President.

RECTOR'S REGALIA

CHAIN OF OFFICE

Since modern academic regalia evolved from the kinds of apparel worn by monks and students in the Middle Ages to keep warm in the castles and halls in which they studied, academic regalia remains symbolic of scholastic achievement. The regalia worn by Kentucky State University's president, is made of black tropical wool. It has green velvet panels and bars. The bars and panels are accented by antique gold cordings. Each sleeve has four chevrons. The sleeves are Akron style inlaid with Washington green. The hood is !at with a square bottom. It is embellished with Washington green satin lining and antique gold chiffon. It also has gold cording with green velvet.

Each president of Kentucky State University wears the Chain of Office, also referred to as the livery and/or the presidential medallion, symbolizing the Office of the President. It is worn at formal academic occasions such as inaugurations, commencements, convocations, and Founder's Day. Kentucky State University's Chain of Office comprises a 3" diameter brass medallion with an antique "nish. It is attached with a leaf banner bearing the title president and leaf clusters. The chain consists of curved banners depicting engravings of the names of all the official presidents of Kentucky State University and their years of service.

Mr. FRANK TAYLOR, a 1980 graduate of Kentucky State, attended the University on a football scholarship and earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice. He later continued his education at East Mississippi School of Mortuary Science (1981) and the Small Farmers Leadership Institute (2007). His return to campus as commencement speaker brings to the occasion a voice shaped by experience, perseverance, and a deep commitment to community.

A fifth-generation tree farmer based in Louisville, Mississippi, Taylor manages 585 acres of pine and hardwood timber on family land that has been held since 1877. His life and work reflect values that align naturally with Kentucky State’s identity as the Commonwealth’s 1890 land-grant university — stewardship of the land, service to others, and

a commitment to strengthening communities across generations.

For more than 30 years, Taylor has also been a strong advocate for farmers and rural communities. Since 1997, he has served as president of the Winston County Self-Help Cooperative, an organization focused on helping landowners maintain land and farmland for future generations. Under his leadership, the cooperative has built partnerships with universities, agricultural agencies, and community organizations while expanding outreach and practical support for families and producers.

Mr. Taylor can often be seen conducting workshops, assisting current and future farmers, serving as editor of the Greensboro Echo Newspaper, News Blast, and News Flash on behalf of the Winston County Self Help Cooperatives, visiting farm families, attending farm-related events at Alcorn State University and other venues and writing and publishing articles geared toward helping farmers and families.

He is married to Rita Taylor and they have four children: Tarie, Patience, Ashley, and Angela. They reside in Louisville, Mississippi.

Lyrics by Frederick Jarmon '43 Music Arrangement Harriet N. Gibbons '45

Hail to Our Alma Mater, Dear is Her name, And there shall be no other to Surpass Her fame. Hers is the hand that guides us day after day, And she will stand beside us, when we go on our way.

MAY BLESSINGS BE UPON HER, SHEPHERD OF YOUTH; SHE HOLDS THE SEAT OF HONOR, IN THE HALL OF TRUTH. MEM'RIES OF HER SHALL NEVER FADE FROM OUR HEARTS, AND WE WILL PRAISE HER EVER, FOR THE LOVE SHE IMPARTS.

SING EV'RY VOICE TOGETHER, LET ECHOES RISE. HAIL TO OUR ALMA MATER, SHOUT TO THE SKIES. HOLDING THE TORCH OF WISDOM, SHE LEADS THE WAY CLASPING THE HAND OF FREEDOM, AS SHE MARCHES ALONG.
