2013 Commencement Program - UIC Commencement
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 UIC University of Illinois at Chicago 1 Commencement 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 2 UIC University of Illinois at Chicago Commencement 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.

Weaver, College of Nursing UIC University of Illinois at Chicago 5 Commencement 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 Rome 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. 6 Fellow, Cotsen Institute of Archaeology, University of California, Los Angeles Los Angeles A history professor who passionately believes in the cause of peace, Jennings has worked for three decades both behind the scenes and on 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. UIC University of Illinois at Chicago Commencement 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 professional life. From protecting child 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 supervised its Child Advocacy and Protection Unit, helped establish UIC University of Illinois at Chicago 7 Commencement May 2013 N THE U IVERSI S AT CH I CA INOI I CH ENC A E E IN T College of Architecture and the Arts Michael Anderson Department of Theatre and Music College of Business Administration Mary Brown Department of Finance College of Education Maria Varelas Department of Curriculum and Instruction College of Engineering Saaed Manafzadeh Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering College of Liberal Arts and Sciences—Humanities Corey Capers Departments of African American Studies and History Sloan Williams Department of Anthropology College of Liberal Arts and Sciences—Natural/Physical Sciences David Cabrera Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science Sandra Gibbons Department of Biological Sciences College of Liberal Arts and Sciences—Social/Behavioral Sciences Laurence Grimm Department of Psychology Ronald Pavone Department of Psychology College of Nursing Catherine Tredway Regional Nursing Program—Quad Cities College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs Valerie Werner Department of Urban Planning and Policy 8 UIC University of Illinois at Chicago G EL L N C EX College of Applied Health Sciences Department of Kinesiology and Nutrition Jane Marone GO R CIRCLE The Silver Circle Award winners for 2013 are: ILL OF E LV SI UIC Silver Circle Excellence in Teaching Awards are presented annually to those faculty voted most outstanding by the members of the senior class. TY UIC Silver Circle Excellence in Teaching Awards Commencement 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: Agriculture Applied Health Sciences Architecture and the Arts Business Administration Dentistry Economics Education Engineering Forestry Health Professions Education Journalism Law Liberal Arts and Sciences Library Science Medicine Music Nursing Oratory (Speech) Pharmacy Philosophy Public Administration Public Health Social Work Theology Urban Planning Veterinary Science Maize Green and Gold Brown Royal Blue Lilac Lilac Light Blue Orange Russet Gold Crimson Purple White Lemon Green Pink Apricot Silver Gray Olive Dark Blue Peacock Blue Salmon Citron Scarlet Wedgewood Blue Gray (UIC does not offer all of these degrees; however, faculty and platform party members may hold degrees in these areas.) UIC University of Illinois at Chicago 9 Commencement May 2013 This program contains official lists of names of graduates who received degrees in summer 2012 and fall 2012 and unofficial lists of names of candidates for spring 2013 graduation. The names of spring 2013 graduates are as accurate as possible. However, due to printing deadlines, the names of some degree recipients may not appear, while names of degree candidates may appear even though they have not completed their degrees. The University of Illinois at Chicago’s official registry for conferral of degrees is the Office of Admissions and Records. The following symbols are used in this program: * College Honors † Cum Laude ‡ Magna cum Laude § Summa cum Laude || Graduate College Fellows # Honors College (undergraduate students who are members of the Honors College) ** Bell Honor Award (College of Engineering) †† Beta Gamma Sigma (College of Business Administration) ‡‡ Certificate in Evidence-based Mental Health Practice with Children and Adolescents (Jane Addams College of Social Work) O Online Programs (College of Nursing) P Central Illinois Peoria (College of Nursing) Q Quad Cities (College of Nursing) R Rockford (College of Nursing) U Central Illinois Urbana (College of Nursing) 10 UIC University of Illinois at Chicago Commencement May 2013 UNIVERSITY HONORS POLICY The three levels of university honors listed below will appear on UIC transcripts for undergraduate students participating in spring 2013 Commencement ceremonies honoring students who earned degrees summer 2012, fall 2012, or spring 2013.

Additionally, transfer students must have completed a minimum of 42 semester hours at UIC at the end of the term prior to graduation and a minimum of 60 UIC hours upon graduation.

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.
