Commencement
Greetings to the Class of 2013:
May 2013
On behalf of the trustees of the University of Illinois and the
11 million residents of our state whose best interests we represent,
I want to congratulate all of you in the Class of 2013.
In the future, when historians write about our time, I hope it will be
about you as students and your actions as graduates and about your
contributions to our state as alumni.
I hope you are proud to be here today, proud to be at the
University of Illinois, which is the greatest institution of its kind in
the United States.
Nothing is more important to the future of Illinois, our citizens and
communities, the health of the economy of this state, our quality of life, and the competitive
positioning of this state on the national and global stage than is the University of Illinois.
All of you who are graduating today must be relentless voices for excellence and for the notion that
we should be the best in the world at what we do.
We must protect and preserve the pride that everyone who has been associated with the university
has in that association.
Today, you join the ranks of the largest alumni association in the world.
We want you active, and we want you involved. You have a great legacy, and together, we can build
on it.
If you have ideas, reach out to your college dean, the chancellor, the president, the Alumni
Association, or the Board of Trustees.
We all look forward to working with you.
Christopher G. Kennedy
Chair of the Board of Trustees

May 2013
Congratulations to the Class of 2013
Just a few short years ago, you were sitting in the Pavilion, listening
to convocation speeches, and looking ahead to a tomorrow that
was unlike any you’d faced before.
In some ways, it probably seems like yesterday; in others, a lifetime.
Your years on this great campus have prepared you for a lifetime of
success and happiness, and as you head off today to begin that next
chapter, I hope you take time to reflect on everything you’ve
accomplished and how much you’ve grown.
Your time here has truly been transformative—uniting your talent
and passion with UIC’s world-class faculty and academic programs
to unlock the doors to your dreams. It has transformed the arc of
your lives, which will be forever guided by the broad-based knowledge, critical thinking skills, and
sense of purpose that you nurtured here.
Tomorrow, you again face a future of new opportunities and new challenges. But you and the more
than 7,600 other members of the Class of 2013 have proven that you are ready to make your mark
in our world’s rapidly changing workplace.
Remember the commitment and hard work that brought you here today. Remember everything
you have learned. Remember that education is a journey that unfolds for a lifetime. And remember
the example of the more than 200,000 alumni who have shown the heights that are within reach
with a UIC degree.
Today, we celebrate you, Class of 2013, joined by the proud family and friends who have supported
you along the way. Enjoy your day, and come back often. Like the lessons you learned here, your
bond with UIC lasts a lifetime.
Robert A. Easter
President

Dear 2013 Graduates:
May 2013
Congratulations. On this day you celebrate an enormous
achievement. Your family, partners, friends, fellow students, and
professors all join me in honoring your hard work and the sacrifices
you’ve made to attain your degree. We are proud of you, as you
must be of yourselves.
As students you have been serious, eager, and devoted to learning.
You are aware and concerned about the world beyond this campus.
Many of you are the first in your family to attend college, and many
have worked one or more jobs to pay for your education. Today,
you reap the benefits of all you have put forth.
You are now UIC alumni. As you build your life with your education
as a foundation, you remain a part of our community. We want you to feel a lifelong connection to
UIC, whether you return to attend cultural and athletic events, mentor students following in your
footsteps, or continue your own education. You are an essential part of our growing community.
Today, we are here to recognize your achievements. As UIC alumni, I offer you my best wishes on
all your future endeavors and I urge you to return to UIC often.
Sincerely,

May 2013
The University of Illinois Alumni Association is proud to recognize the 2013 UIC recipients of the following awards:
Axel F. Strotbek, MBA ’91
The University of Illinois Alumni Achievement Award
Presented to those alumni who have attained outstanding success and
national or international distinction in their chosen business, profession, or
life’s work.
Rajaa Abdullah Alsanea,
MS ’08 DENT
Author
Endodontist, Stem Cell Therapy Program
Scientist, King Faisal Specialist Hospital
and Research Center
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Dr. Rajaa Abdullah Alsanea’s debut novel,
Girls of Riyadh, which tells the tale of four
young women living in present-day Saudi Arabia, gained global
notoriety upon its publication in 2005, drawing critical notice, thousands
of e-mails—and death threats—for its candid portrayal of women
struggling with Islamic traditions and the realities of modern life.
Perhaps most surprising about this is that Alsanea’s vocation is
dentistry. She serves as a consultant endodontist and researcher in
the stem cell therapy program at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and
Research Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Alsanea’s honors include being named among the Power 500 Arab
figures in the world in 2012; 2008 Woman of the Year (Al Arabiya
news channel); and 2007 Cultural Figure of the Year and 2006
Intellectual Figure of the Year in the Arab world by Elaph, the top
Arabic online newspaper.
Chief Financial Officer, AUDI AG
Ingolstadt, Germany
In a mere two decades in the world of
business, Axel F. Strotbek has come to
exemplify the executive of the twenty-first
century: a leader with high business acumen,
technological savvy, a global outlook, and an
ability to balance responsible financing with
forward-looking investment.
Strotbek began his affiliation with the German automotive industry in
1991, when he joined the Volkswagen Group as an assistant. His star rose,
and in 2007 at the age of 43, Strotbek became chief financial officer of
AUDI AG, where he has successfully steered the company through the
recent world financial crisis and invested in its work force, new products,
and future technologies.
On the international scene, Strotbek’s abilities have garnered attention,
perhaps most notably as a repeatedly invited participant of the prestigious
World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and as a sought-after
speaker on the difficulties of accommodating both crisis management and
technological investment.
The University of Illinois Alumni Humanitarian Award
Bestowed upon alumni who have made significant humanitarian contributions
to society that have improved or enriched the lives of others and the welfare
of humanity.
James E. Jennings, PhD ’88 LAS
Founder and President, Conscience
International
Ertharin Cousin, ’79 LAS
Executive Director, U.S. Academics for Peace
Atlanta
Executive Director, United Nations World
Food Programme

In a world plagued by hunger, Ertharin
Cousin has dedicated her life’s work to
helping people in need, spending nearly
three decades on the national,
international, nonprofit, government, and
corporate scene to provide both immediate relief and long-term
solutions to the persistent problem of food deprivation.
Cousin currently serves as the executive director of the U.N. World
Food Programme, the world’s largest humanitarian organization. She
previously held the posts of U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Agencies
for Food and Agriculture and head of the U.S. Mission to U.N.
Agencies in Rome, Italy.
On the national level, Cousin has held top leadership positions in
Feeding America and served as White House liaison to the State
Department in the Clinton administration. In 2012, she was named to
Forbes Magazine’s List of the World’s 100 Most Powerful Women.

University of California, Los Angeles

A history professor who passionately believes in the cause of peace,

the front lines of wars, natural disasters, and political danger zones,
raising millions of dollars for assistance as well as organizing and
participating in relief efforts in places like Somalia, Haiti, Gaza, Peru,
Afghanistan, Iran, Indonesia, and Iraq. Founder and president of
Conscience International, a humanitarian aid organization, he is also
the executive director of U.S. Academics for Peace, which establishes
dialogues among professors, politicians, and religious leaders around
the world.
Jennings, who worked with global health-related programs at UIC in
the mid-1990s, is a fellow at the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at
the University of California, Los Angeles.

The University of Illinois Distinguished Service Award
Awarded to those individuals who have consistently demonstrated
extraordinary commitment, dedication, and service for the advancement of
the university.
Linda Rae Murray, ’73 LAS, MD
’77 COM, MPH ’80
Chief Medical Officer, Cook County
Department of Public Health/Cook County
Health and Hospital System
Forest Park
In 2006, Dr. Linda Rae Murray was
named chief medical officer of the Cook
County Illinois Department of Public
Health, but her dedication to the medically underserved began long
before that.
For four decades, she has worked as a physician, mentor, teacher,
and activist, promoting public health, speaking out for social justice,
defending organized labor, and tirelessly advocating for health care
as a basic human right. “Social justice is really the frame around
which public health needs to function in our country,” she told the
Faces of Public Health series of the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation in 2011. “We have to be visible—we have to speak out
on issues that concern the health of the public.”
Murray has used her platform to encourage a vision in which public
health functions serves as the “glue” that unites various factors that
influence a community, such as transportation, sanitation, education,
labor, and recreation.
UIC City Partner Award
May 2013
national models for child forensic interviewing, and assisted in the
creation of the Chicago Children’s Advocacy Center, where each
allegation of child sexual abuse in the city is examined. In addition,
she coauthored an investigation manual that is now used by the
National Network of Children’s Advocacy Centers.
Cassandra J. Francis,
MUPP ’91
Principal, Kariatid Inc.
Chicago
Cassandra J. Francis has devoted her career
to providing strategic planning and project
advisory services that develop—and
redevelop—urban centers. She has helped
construct new developments, expand
transportation, revitalize areas, and build bridges—both literal and
figurative—within large and complex communities.
Francis is a principal of Kariatid Inc., a firm specializing in real
estate, construction project management, and strategic planning
issues. She previously served as executive director and vice president
of Clayco Inc., where she helped the St. Louis-based real estate and
design-build construction firm enter the Chicago market.
Francis led master planning efforts for Chicago’s bid to host the 2016
Olympics, and at U.S. Equities, she helped develop the MetraMarket
in the West Loop and the New Mississippi River Bridge at St. Louis.
A LEED accredited professional, she has also worked as a
transportation planner at Metra and at the Habitat Company, where
she helped acquire sites for the development of public housing.
The UIC City Partner Award recognizes alumni for outstanding service to
UIC or in key areas of urban development identified by the UIC Great Cities
Program.
Alison R. Perona,
MA ’03 LAS
Inspector General, Chicago Park District
Safeguarding the public from harm forms
the ethos of Alison R. Perona’s

abuse victims to eliminating fraud and
inefficiencies in public agencies, she has
spent more than 25 years establishing
guidelines and emphasizing integrity in a variety of governmental
entities.
The first-ever inspector general of the Chicago Park District, Perona
previously served as deputy director of the Illinois Department of
Financial and Professional Regulation and as inspector general of the
Chicago Transit Authority.
In her 18 years in the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, Perona

ACADEMIC DRESS
Academic dress, consisting of cap, gown, and hood, originated
about the twelfth century and was worn primarily for warmth.
Subsequently, material of the gown and the lining and the shape of
the hood represented the economic and social as well as the
academic status of the wearer.
In the United States, the great majority of the academic costumes
now worn are in accordance with the general provisions of the
Intercollegiate Code of 1895, which was revised in 1932 and again in
1960. Under this code the bachelor’s gown has pointed sleeves, the
master’s gown has oblong sleeves with an arc at the bottom, and the
doctor’s gown has bell-shaped sleeves. All gowns were originally black,
although the adoption of colored gowns by individual institutions in the
United States is becoming more prevalent.
The bachelor’s and master’s gowns are untrimmed. The
doctor’s gown is faced down the front with velvet and has three
bars of velvet across the sleeves. The facing and bars may be black
or may be the color of the subject to which the degree pertains.
Material of the gown and hood for the bachelor’s and master’s
degree is usually of cotton poplin, and for the doctor’s degree, of
rayon or silk ribbed material. The bachelor’s gown is worn closed;
the master’s and doctor’s gowns may be worn open or closed.
Women may wear white collars with the bachelor’s gown when no
hood is worn.
The hoods, which differ in length for the three degrees, are
lined with the official colors of the university or college conferring
the degree, usually with one color forming a chevron pattern over
the other. The bachelor’s hood is three feet in length; the master’s
hood is three and a half feet, and the doctor’s hood is four feet
long. At the University of Illinois at Chicago the lining of the hoods is
flame and indigo. For PhD students, the trim of the hood is indigo.
For other doctoral students and for master’s students, the velvet
trim at the edge of the hood denotes the field of study. UIC
graduating seniors do not wear hoods.
The mortarboard cap is standard in the United States. Usually
all tassels are black, but where the graduating seniors do not wear a
hood, as at the University of Illinois, the color of the cap tassel
indicates the type of degree earned. Students receiving a bachelor of
arts degree wear white tassels; those receiving a bachelor of science
degree wear gold. Doctor’s caps may have tassels of gold thread. At
the University of Illinois, candidates for degrees wear tassels on the
right front quadrant of their caps before degrees are conferred and
change them to the left front quadrant after degrees are conferred
by the president. Caps are considered a part of the costume.
Gold, silver, and bronze cords worn by some graduating
seniors signify the three levels of University Honors. Gold cords
signify summa cum laude, silver cords signify magna cum laude, and
bronze cords signify cum laude. Gold stoles identify graduates who
are members of the Honors College. Red cords distinguish students
May 2013
who have been recognized for service and/or leadership. Some
students also wear cords or stoles signifying their membership in
campus organizations or activities. The Jewel of Office and Gold
collar, which is worn by the president, was presented to the
university by the University of Illinois Alumni Association. It is
emblematic of the Office of the President and is worn at all formal
academic ceremonies. On the collar are engraved the names of the
presidents of the university and their years of service. Trustees of the
university are identified by their blue gowns with blue velvet panels
outlined in orange cord.
For all academic purposes, the colors associated with the
different subjects are as follows:

America the Beautiful
by Katharine Lee Bates
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
The Star-Spangled Banner
by Francis Scott Key
O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Printed on recycled paper with soy ink.
