The National Anthem
THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER
O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O’er the ramparts we watched, 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?
ALMA MATER
ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY
Where the bold saguaros
Raise their arms on high,
Praying strength for brave tomorrows
From the western sky;
Where eternal mountains
Kneel at sunset’s gate,
Here we hail thee, Alma Mater,
Arizona State.
—Hopkins-Dresskell

Harvard was the first university to confer honorary degrees in 1692. Since then it has
become a recognized function of degree granting institutions. Honorary degrees are
an opportunity for universities to single out people who have made contributions to
society. At ASU, honorary degree recipients are nominated by faculty members.
The Academic Affairs Honorary Degrees Committee reviews faculty nominations for
the Honorary Degree. It then recommends candidates to the president. The committee
is appointed by and responsible to the president.

CLOSING REMARKS
Dean Douglas Sylvester, JD, LLM
*RECESSION OF FACULTY AND CANDIDATES
*Audience should stand for these portions of the program.
At its founding, the College of Law at Arizona State University committed itself to
innovation. While retaining important aspects of traditional legal education, Dean
Willard H. Pedrick and the six well-respected faculty members, whom Pedrick
recruited to the desert from around the country, embraced a vision of the future of
legal education, befitting a young school in a growing city.
Nearly from its inception, the College pursued clinical legal education models,
through which students receive a foundation in lawyering before they become
practicing attorneys, while providing indigent members of the community with
valuable legal assistance. Today, the College of Law has more than a dozen clinics
and clinical units, more per capita than almost any law school in the country. These
programs offer hands-on experience in both litigation and transactional settings,
across an extraordinarily wide range of topic areas. Indeed, each year approximately
90 percent of students participate in clinics, externships, or pro bono activities.
In the four decades since its founding, the College of Law, now renamed the
Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, has grown in size and national prominence,
assembling an acclaimed faculty in the traditionally core areas of legal study while
continuing to offer innovative approaches that look to the future of legal education.
The Center for Law, Science & Innovation is the nation’s first and largest academic
center focused on the intersection of law and science, and through it the College
offers the country’s only LL.M. in Biotechnology and Genomics, as well as
innovative new programs in Governance of Emerging Technologies, Personalized
Medicine, Law & Policy, Public Health Law and Policy, Law and Sustainability,
and Information and Communications Technology. The Indian Legal Program
is arguably the leading program in the country; it offers a strong curriculum in
Indian Law, including the Certificate in Indian Law and the Indian Legal Clinic,
and trains students to be leaders in Indian Country. The Center for Law and Global
Affairs and a new LL.M. program for foreign lawyers increase the law school’s
emphasis on cutting-edge transnational and international legal issues. The Diane
Halle Center for Family Justice, in collaboration with the Center for Law and Global
Affairs, pursues direct representation and policy advocacy on core issues of human
trafficking and human rights, and engages other ASU units and community partners
to address domestic violence, juvenile law and other issues related to families and
their interaction with the law. The College’s Washington, D.C., Legal Externship
Program and research think-tank experiences across the curriculum allow students
and faculty to be important participants in addressing the local, national, and global
public policy challenges of our time.
22
CONFERRING
The College of Law bridges the gap between theory and practice, and our faculty
and students address the local, national, and global public policy challenges of our
time. In short, the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law remains an innovator,
building new models for 21st century public legal education in a dynamic,
increasingly diverse, local, national, and global environment.

RECESSIONAL
The Barrett Story
Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University, is a selective, residential
college for academically outstanding undergraduates. Named “Best Honors
College” in the nation, the college often has more National Merit Scholars than
Princeton, Yale or Stanford.
The college is supported by a $10 million endowment that is used exclusively to
benefit honors students and fund their projects. Barrett students major in any field
offered at ASU’s campuses - Tempe, Polytechnic, Downtown or West.
Barrett students are members of a small community of scholars who have direct
access to our deans and receive personalized attention from approximately 25
honors faculty fellows and 35 staff members who care about them as individuals.
In addition to these full-time honors college personnel there are more than 1400
university faculty members who teach and mentor Barrett students across all four
campuses.
The $130 million Barrett campus in Tempe was designed by students, faculty and
staff working with nationally renowned architects. The Barrett complex functions
as its own small honors community on the ASU Tempe campus where students
enjoy the amenities and resources of a large university. This unique arrangement is a
model for higher education and has often been referred to as the best of both worlds
by students who thrive in a small college atmosphere but appreciate access to large
university programs like Division I athletics and high profile lecturers.
Student Opportunities
Barrett students take advantage of an array of opportunities that enrich the honors
experience. They participate in study abroad programs that enable them to travel
to foreign countries, immerse themselves in small classes taught by honors faculty,
and experience different cultures and societies while earning honors credits.
Barrett Summer Abroad destinations include France, Greece, Italy, Germany,
Switzerland, Spain, the British Isles, South American and China. Barrett students
receive national and international graduate scholarships such at Rhodes, Truman
and Marshall Scholarships. They take advantage of unique undergraduate research
and internship opportunities, such as those available at the Translational Genomics
Research Institute, the governor’s office, Congress, the White House, or on Wall
Street. Barrett students attend social and cultural events, publish poetry in the
honors literary publication LUX, shadow doctors at the Mayo Clinic, and work with
professors in the Biodesign Institute on latest developments in nanotechnology.
Many honors students seek leadership opportunities and find fulfillment in serving
others, both on campus and in the larger metropolitan community. Barrett students
also have opportunities to meet with individuals renowned for contributions in
their fields, such as retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor,
former CNN anchor Aaron Brown, authors Guy Dauncey and David Kessler, and
photographer Joel Meyerowitz.
Signature Events
Barrett hosts two signature events annually, the Centennial Lecture and the Rhodes
Lecture. In 1985, the Flinn Foundation established an endowment to commemorate
ASU’s 100th year. The gift created the ASU Centennial Lecture, and in 1989 it
provided the Barrett Honors College the resources to bring some of the world’s most
influential intellects to campus. The Centennial Lecture has become one of ASU’s
premier intellectual events featuring noted diplomats, scientists, playwrights, and
authors. Each Centennial Lecturer has helped to strengthen the university and has
provided students and community members with a memorable experience. Former
Centennial lecturers include Edward James Olmos, dedicated actor, community
activist in 2010; Dr. Oscar Arias, Nobel Peace Laureate and two-time president of
Costa Rica in 2011; and most recently, Sylvia Nasar, author of best-selling novel,
“A Beautiful Mind” and Knight Professor of Business Journalism, Columbia
University in Fall 2012.
The Rhodes Lecture is given by the John J. Rhodes Chair in Public Policy and
American Institutions at Barrett. The Chair was created to celebrate the career in
public service of one of Arizona’s and the nation’s most distinguished leaders. The
Rhodes Chair is dedicated to deepening theoretical and practical understanding of
the many voices and forces that influence public policy. The Chair honors the values
of personal integrity, fiscal responsibility, respect for persons, and international
farsightedness exemplified in the Hon. John J. Rhodes’ career. The 2012 Rhodes
Chair was Jessica Jackley, American businesswoman, entrepreneur who co-founded
Kiva, the world’s first microlending web site. The upcoming 2013 Rhodes Chair
will be Leroy Chiao, PhD, NASA Astronaut and engineer who specializes in
government and private space programs and also serves as an international advocate
for STEM education. The 2013 Rhodes Lecture is scheduled for Wednesday,
February 20 at Tempe Center for the Arts. Visit www.barretthonors.asu.edu/events/
for more information about future Barrett events.
Barrett on all four campuses
In fall 2009, Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University, opened the
46
nation’s first comprehensive four-year residential honors college within a top-tier
Research I university that underscores its standing as the premier honors college
in the nation. On the Tempe campus, the nine-acre college includes resident halls
for 1700 students, several classrooms, a community center with student lounges,
activity rooms, computer labs, a fitness center, a multi-room dining facility with a
refectory, café, and administrative, faculty and staff offices.
Multiple upgrades to the Barrett Honors College facilities on Downtown,
Polytechnic and West campuses have taken place – featuring honors student
lounges, libraries, kitchens, computer labs, student activity and study rooms, faculty
and administrative offices, and honors residential communities.
Barrett at the Downtown Campus is home to about 400 honors students. The Barrett
residential community, called B-Town D-Town, is located at Taylor Place at the
heart of the campus and offers a living environment where students have easy access
to ASU’s downtown colleges and programs, as well as Phoenix’s increasingly
vibrant lifestyle.
Barrett at the Polytechnic campus gives students the feeling of studying at a small
private college with the advantages of a large university. The honors residential
community is unique among the ASU campuses – freshman honors student reside
together on a floor of Century Hall, which opened in the summer of 2012 while
upper-division honors students live in 2- and 3-bedroom houses in a special Barrett
neighborhood on campus. Honors students also have access to a new dining hall and
fitness facility.
Barrett at the West Campus provides the entire range of honors activities in a small
liberal arts college setting. Barrett West students live and learn on the ASU West
Campus with approximately 500 other residents. Honors students live in the new
Casa de Oro, a residence hall that opened in fall 2012. The 5,000-square-foot Barrett
Suite includes a computer lab, study rooms, a meeting area, a library, and staff and
faculty offices.
With its outstanding programs, dedicated faculty and staff, and comprehensive
facilities, Barrett is a national model for organizing resources to support the honors
experience at all four campuses at ASU.

Transformation Institute.
The mission of the College of Health Solutions is to better promote good health,
prevent and control disease, and to improve health outcomes for patients and their
families. To accomplish this mission, it serves as a knowledge exchange and catalyst
for collaboration among health-related units across ASU, as well as providing
support for health-related academic programs, transdisciplinary research initiatives,
and strategic partnerships. World renowned faculty, diverse student populations,
unique and innovative research opportunities and phenomenal academic exploration
best characterize the College of Health Solutions. It presents a new model of
integrated and interprofessional health education and delivery unlike any other in
the nation.
ABOUT THE SCHOOL OF NUTRITION AND HEALTH PROMOTION
The School of Nutrition and Health Promotion (SNHP), established in 2011, offers
a unique opportunity for students interested in a range of health related academic
programs and research opportunities. While the School itself is newly formed,
its programs in Exercise and Wellness, Health Sciences, Kinesiology, Medical
Laboratory Science, and Nutrition represent as many as 100 years of academic
excellence at ASU. The School provides unique and challenging interprofessional
academic programs and supports transdisciplinary research. Its graduates are now
part of an ever-growing alumni base of skilled and compassionate professionals
dedicated to the optimization of health and the reduction of chronic disease risk.
These graduates transform the lives of individuals and communities throughout
Arizona and beyond by promoting healthy lifestyles.
As the nation’s health care systems continue to evolve and improve, Americans
must be prepared to assume more responsibility for their own health and well-being. The traditional emphasis on the “care” or treatment side of the healthcare system
is now shifting to a greater emphasis on disease risk reduction and prevention. Graduates of the School of Nutrition and Health Promotion are well positioned to
design, implement and evaluate programs that reflect the expanded importance of
66
“health and wellness” within the U.S. healthcare system. The mission of the School
of Nutrition and Health Promotion is to educate future professionals to serve as
leaders, scholars, educators, and promoters of healthy lifestyles. 67

CLOSING REMARKS
RECESSIONAL
ASU College of Nursing & Health Innovation
Distinction with a Difference
The ASU College of Nursing & Health Innovation is a very special and different
place, as evidenced by its name. Like many colleges of nursing and health
throughout the nation, our goal to offer the highest quality of academic, research
and clinical practice programs to produce graduates who will be the best clinicians,
teachers, advocates of good health, and researchers.
However, the College of Nursing & Health Innovation is different in its culture that
is based on dreaming, discovering and delivering that enables students, faculty and
staff to reach their full potential. It is the way we do business.
First, we encourage our students, faculty and staff to catch big dreams and believe in
those dreams. Too often, individuals are surrounded by others who discourage them
from thinking big, being bombarded with skepticism. Here, though, we encourage
and provide an environment where dreams are cultivated. We foster innovative
thinking at ASU—being on the cutting edge and visioning solutions to the most
complex healthcare problems before others see answers.
Second, discovery and risk-taking are a way of life at our college. So many times,
individuals do not achieve their dreams because they are afraid to be risk-takers.
However, the most successful people in life typically take the most risks. We not
only encourage our students to take risks, we mentor them to do so.
Third, we model follow-through on the goals that we set, and persist through
what we call the “character-building times.” So many individuals give up on their
dreams right before they would have accomplished them. We teach the value of
persisting through adversity with enthusiasm, knowing that success will ultimately
be achieved.
Fourth, we teach and implement a hands-on approach to care in a rich
interdisciplinary environment throughout all of our educational programs. Our
outstanding nationally recognized researchers in our Center for Improving Health
Outcomes in Children, Teens & Families, Center for Healthy Outcomes in Aging,
and the Hartford Center for Geriatric Nursing Excellence are generating evidence
through research and building faculty capacity that has a direct impact on improving
quality of care and patient outcomes for two vulnerable populations.
Fifth, we operate three high-quality academic nursing health centers in the greater
Phoenix area that emphasize an interdisciplinary approach to care, which are part
of more than 700 clinical placement sites where our students receive outstanding
educational experiences in the real world. In addition, we house what we believe
is the most cutting-edge simulation center in the country that provides our students
with the competencies they need to transition to real-world healthcare systems with
confidence and essential practice skills.
Finally, we cultivate innovation and entrepreneurship in our college. Our Center
for Healthcare Innovation & Clinical Trials, is becoming a state and national hub
for the development, design and testing of new healthcare products and systems
to improve patient outcomes. Students here are taught how to innovate and think
entrepreneurially as well as how to make their dreams come to fruition.

THE COLLEGE
The College of Public Programs is home to the School of Community Resources
& Development, the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice, the School of
Public Affairs, and the School of Social Work. The College was established to bring
together academic disciplines focused on community, stewardship of democracy,
public service and use-inspired research. Its programs at the undergraduate and
graduate levels incorporate the spirit of leadership, scholarship, and professionalism.
THE SCHOOLS IN THE COLLEGE OF PUBLIC PROGRAMS
The School of Community Resources & Development students, faculty, and staff
share a commitment to making communities better places to live, work, and visit.
The fields subsumed within our School are extremely diverse and involve the
private, government, and nonprofit sectors of the economy. The concept of building
sustainable and healthy communities is the unifying principle encompassing our
School’s three established focus areas of parks and recreation management, tourism
development and management, and nonprofit leadership and management.
The School of Criminology and Criminal Justice merges theory and practice. This
occurs in the teaching, research, and service activities of our faculty, students,
and alumni. The convenient downtown location makes the School accessible to
working professionals and traditional students. In addition, the location of major
criminal justice agencies downtown enhances the opportunities for instruction,
practice and internships for all students. The School offers a bachelor’s degree, two
master’s degrees and a Ph.D. The degrees are designed to meet the needs of working
professionals and full-time students. The curriculum is delivered both in-class and
online.
The School of Public Affairs will continue our long tradition of developing
outstanding public leaders; people who are committed to making a difference in
our world and who are well prepared to meet the rigorous demands and substantial
challenges of the future. We offer innovative educational and professional
opportunities to help build strong and more effective leaders. We are the only
public administration program in the Phoenix area to be accredited by the National
Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA) and are
consistently ranked among the top 25 public affairs schools in the country.
The School of Social Work strives to develop and provide access to innovative
social services that allow disadvantaged families and communities to prosper. We
are among the largest and most diverse social work programs in the U.S., with over
1,300 students now enrolled at our Phoenix and Tucson locations, and over 8,000
alumni. We offer Bachelor (BSW), Master (MSW), and Ph.D. degrees, as well as
many certificate and continuing professional education programs. Our students
intern at more than 800 field placement sites. Extensive online and nontraditional
hour courses facilitate access to those with varying schedules and needs.

We are a college of makers. Regardless of the degrees bestowed upon our graduates
today, they have all majored in making. Graduates of CTI have a multidisciplinary
foundation from which they are positioned to make the world a better place.
RECESSIONAL
The College of Technology and Innovation (CTI) is making a new higher education
experience that focuses on learning through making things and solving real-world
challenges through collaboration. Today we celebrate the graduates who embody
this mission.
At CTI we strive to fully exemplify the polytechnic values of engaged learning,
use-inspired applied research and deep engagement with industry. We operate at the
intersection science, technology, engineering, mathematics, entrepreneurship and
management; connected by a mission to make innovative contributions to society
and industry.
CTI is an environment for learning and discovery that is suited to the needs of the
21st century. Society needs innovative and technically competent leaders and the
world needs new solutions to address complex problems in our region, nation and
around the world. Our students gain technical competence through systems-thinking
and we solve problems in interdisciplinary teams. Our core values are reflected in
all of our programs.
•We believe students learn best when they are deeply engaged in their learning,
so we focus on learning in context. How ou learn is as important as
what you learn. This approach contributes to deeper and more effective
learning and ultimately it enables us to better foster creativity and innovation.
•We believe the discoveries we make in our laboratories and studios should
emerge as real products or practices. We are committed to identifying ways
to bring our ideas to the marketplace and elevating our best thoughts that will
ultimately create enterprise and impact society.
•We know that for students and faculty to make an impact on our world, they
need to engage industry at a level well beyond academic norms.
Over 3,300 students are engaged in a learning environment established and nurtured
by a faculty guided by these values. Innovation is not a subject; it is a way of being. We are centered on creativity and
innovation. We focus on challenges in areas of human concern where technology
is the best hope at advancement. Our students and faculty thrive in this setting as
engaged discoverers, teachers, learners, and entrepreneurs.
Special thanks to Marvin and June Morrison for the endowment of the Morrison
School of Agribusiness and Resource Management in 1998. The commitment of the
Morrison Family to education and scholarship is appreciated. We are grateful for
their generosity and continued support. 96

ABOUT THE NEW COLLEGE
New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences educates students to succeed in a
globalized, diverse, sustainable economy by providing them with solid disciplinary
foundations coupled with an ability to think and act constructively across disciplines.
Such interdisciplinary thinking is necessary if we are to discover answers to the complex
problems that face society today and create civic and economic well being, from local to
global contexts.
The distinctive majors and programs at New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and
Sciences have, from their inception, sought to enhance students’ understanding
and appreciation of the way phenomena connect and interrelate. This approach
to understanding our world—from human institutions and systems, to biological
organisms, to cultural artifacts, and more—gives students the ability to grapple
effectively with the challenges they will encounter in their lives, from developing
sustainable environments, to curing disease, to managing our growing metropolis, to
creating new forms of artistic expression, to enhancing appreciation for human diversity.
The currently existing programs at New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences
all build on this philosophy that inter-, multi-, and transdisciplinary education enhances
our graduates’ ability both to address the needs of business, industry, schools, and
communities of this region and to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century. The
college houses 20 undergraduate B.A. and B.S. degree programs (in Communication
Studies, American Studies; Applied Computing; Applied Mathematics; Applied Science
(BAS); English; Ethnicity, Race, and First Nations Studies; History; Integrative Studies;
Interdisciplinary Arts and Performance; Life Sciences; Political Science; Psychology,
Psychology (online); Religion and Applied Ethics Studies; Social and Behavioral
Sciences; Sociology; Spanish; Statistics; and Women’s and Gender Studies) as well as
four master’s degree programs (in Interdisciplinary Studies; Social Justice and Human
Rights; Communication Studies and Psychology).

Walter Cronkite School of Journalism
and Mass Communication
About the School
The Cronkite School is widely recognized as one of the nation’s premier journalism
programs. Rooted in the time-honored values that characterized its namesake —
accuracy, responsibility, objectivity, integrity — the school fosters journalistic
excellence and ethics in its students as they master the practical professional skills
they need to succeed in the digital journalism world of today and of tomorrow.
The Cronkite School’s 1,300 students consistently lead the country in national
competitions. The school has the best record in the Hearst Journalism Awards, often
called the Pulitzer Prizes of college journalism, over the past seven years. Cronkite
also has the country’s best overall record in the national Society of Professional
Journalists’ Mark of Excellence competition over the same period and has taken
first place in its region for 12 consecutive years. Students have won three Robert
F. Kennedy Journalism Awards, an Edward R. Murrow Award, a Mark Twain
Award from The Associated Press and many other awards from organizations such
as the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication and the
Broadcast Education Association.
Students are guided by a faculty that is made up of both award-winning professional
journalists and world-class media scholars. In recent years the school has added to
its faculty such leading journalists as Washington Post Executive Editor Leonard
Downie Jr., CNN anchor Aaron Brown, Minneapolis Star Tribune Editor Tim
McGuire, BET Vice President Retha Hill, Sacramento Bee Executive Editor Rick
Rodriguez and nationally syndicated business columnist Andrew Leckey.
The Cronkite School continues to lead the field of journalism education with its
innovative use of the teaching hospital model, for which it has received national
acclaim. The school’s full-immersion professional programs give students
opportunities to practice what they’ve learned in a real-world setting under the
guidance of professionals. Students in Cronkite News Service produce public
service journalism for media outlets and consumers statewide and beyond from
news bureaus in Phoenix and Washington. Carnegie-Knight News21 studentreporters conduct national investigations of issues critical to Americans, and the
business journalism specialization prepares students to report in depth on business,
finance and economics. Cronkite NewsWatch is a nightly newscast that reaches
1.1 million Arizonans on Eight, Arizona PBS. In the New Media Innovation Lab,
students use digital technologies to forge the future of journalism, and in the
school’s Public Relations Lab, students develop campaigns for client companies.
Other programs, such as the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business
Journalism, provide education and training to professional journalists. And Cronkite
Global Initiatives brings international journalists to the school for study and training.
All of these initiatives are happening in a state-of-the-art media complex that is
unparalleled in journalism education. Last year, the Federal Communications
132
Commission held a public hearing at the school that explored a major FCC report on
the state of American journalism in the digital age. The report featured the Cronkite
School prominently in a chapter on university-produced journalism content. The
New York Times, The Times of London and others have written about the school as
a leader and innovator in shaping the future of journalism education.
About Walter Cronkite
The journalism program at Arizona State University was named in honor of former
CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite in 1984.
The relationship started when Tom Chauncey, longtime owner of the CBS affiliate
in Phoenix, and his son, Tom Chauncey II, leading supporters of journalism
education at ASU, contacted their old friend in an effort to advance the program.
An endowment on behalf of the program was soon established, and the school was
named after “the most trusted man in America.”
Over the next quarter of a century, Cronkite lent much more than his name to the
school. He was closely involved — advising leadership, guiding students and
faculty and traveling to Arizona each year to personally give the Walter Cronkite
Award for Excellence in Journalism to one of the nation’s top journalists.
Though Cronkite died on July 17, 2009, before he was able to visit the school that
bears his name in its new downtown Phoenix location, he remains an ever-present
part of the school’s heartbeat and direction. His legacy lives on in the spirit and
passion with which the school teaches both the skills to do journalism in today’s
media environment and the time-honored ethics and news values necessary to do it
in the manner that would make our namesake proud.
About Our Graduates
The Cronkite School has more than 9,000 alumni throughout the Valley, across the
country and around the world. Many of them are leaders in television, newspapers,
radio, magazines, public relations firms and digital media enterprises.
In 1993, the Cronkite School inducted its first class into the Cronkite Alumni Hall
of Fame. The charter inductees were Al Michaels (’66), an Emmy Award-winning
sports broadcaster best known for anchoring Monday Night Football, and Bill Redeker
(’71), an ABC News correspondent who covered the Middle East and the Far East
during his 30 years with the network.
Other notable Cronkite Alumni Hall of Fame inductees include Derrick Hall (’91),
president and CEO of the Arizona Diamondbacks; Susan Karis (’80), executive vice
president of operations for the Western region of Clear Channel Radio; Christine
Devine (’87), anchor at FOX 11 in Los Angeles; Mary Kim Titla (’85), founder of
NativeYouthMagazine.com; and Ray Artigue (’76), principal of The Artigue Agency.
Graduates who are interested in joining the Cronkite School alumni chapter are
encouraged to contact the school at 602.496.5555 or visit www.asu.edu/alumni.

About the W. P. Carey School of Business
The W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University is one of the
highest-ranked and largest business schools in the United States. The school
is internationally recognized for its leadership in business education and for
positively impacting the practice, science and art of management on a national
and international scale. The school’s mission is to change lives through business
education.
136
More than 10,000 students attend the W. P. Carey School of Business, including
about 100 National Merit Scholars and more than 100 doctoral candidates. The
student body is especially diverse, including representatives from about 100
countries.
The acclaimed faculty includes a Nobel Prize winner, members of the National
Academy of Sciences, two Guggenheim Fellows, and a fellow of the American
Academy of Arts and Sciences. Many faculty members are also on the editorial
boards of academic journals and publications. The school boasts 11 well-known
research centers and a research institute, and is ranked Top 25 in the nation among
business schools for research productivity.
Both the school’s graduate and undergraduate business programs are ranked Top 30
in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. The executive MBA program is ranked
No. 13 in the world by The Wall Street Journal.
The W. P. Carey School of Business is also known for providing excellent “return
on investment” at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. In fact, Bloomberg
Businessweek recently ranked the full-time MBA program among the Top 10 in the
United States in this category.
Undergraduate degrees are offered in seven traditional business areas, including
accountancy, computer information systems, economics, finance, management,
marketing and supply chain management. Undergraduates can also earn a degree in
business with a concentration from another ASU school in communication, global
leadership, global politics, human resources, legal studies, public service and public
policy, sports and media studies, statistics, sustainability, technology, tourism
management or urban policy. A new program also allows some top students to get
degrees from both the W. P. Carey School of Business and the Ira A. Fulton Schools
of Engineering at the same time
The school’s renowned MBA program is offered in five platforms: full time,
evening, executive, weekend and online. Students can also earn master’s degrees in
accountancy, business administration, business analytics, information management,
management, real estate development, supply chain management and engineering,
or taxation.
The school ranks high for the quantity and quality of its doctoral graduates. Many
managers and executives also come to the school for its highly desirable executive
education certificates, placing a large emphasis on professional development.
The school’s extensive alumni network is 80,000 strong. Distinguished alums
represent highly regarded companies from diverse industries, including
manufacturing, technology, retail, banking, accounting, entertainment and food, as
well as smaller entrepreneurial firms and respected nonprofit organizations.
137
The school provides students with personalized job-placement assistance through
separate, dedicated graduate and undergraduate career centers. The full-time MBA
program has one of the best job-placement rates among business schools in the country.

THE ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY
MACE AND PRESIDENT’S CHAIN OF OFFICE
In Medieval times, a mace was a hand-to-hand combat weapon. In about the year
1400 A.D., a mace evolved from a weapon to a ceremonial instrument used by
academicians in rituals such as commencement and inaugurations. The oldest
known ceremonial mace was that of the Faculty of Common Law of St. Andrew
University in Scotland, used in 1438.

The Mace and Chain of Office are presented only at ceremonies in which faculty
members are in full academic regalia, such as the Inauguration of the ASU
President, University Commencement, Faculty Assemblies, Regents’ and
President’s Professor Induction Ceremonies and Convocation.

ASU’s ceremonial mace and chain of office was created in observance of ASU’s
Centennial in 1985. Handcrafted by ASU Professor of Art, David Pimentel
(1943-2004), the mace and chain was created with “austere elegance and traditional
southwestern motifs.” In keeping with these directions, Professor Pimentel
constructed both items out of materials native to Arizona. The ASU Mace is a wood
staff, approximately three and a half feet long, weighing eight pounds and made of
hollowed and polished Mesquite.

The Mace is carried at the head of the procession and laid in a cradle, thus signifying
the formal onset of the ceremony.
The head of the ASU Mace has four sterling silver blades and is banded with
copper, Morenci turquoise, and a silver ring on which the words Arizona State
University are embossed. The turquoise inlay was cut and polished by Navajo
jeweler Richard Charlie of Mesa. The ASU seal is embossed in silver on the heel of
the mace.
The President’s Chain of Office includes a silver rope woven from strands of handturned links, which holds a medallion six inches in diameter that reverses to reveal
the ASU seal in gold on one side and the same in silver and turquoise on the other.

HISTORY OF THE ACADEMIC COSTUME
The present-day academic costume
seemingly originated at Oxford and
Cambridge Universities in the 1300s.
As the universities passed from
ecclesiastical control, brighter colors
distinguished the academic robe
from the drab clerical gown. Colonial
American universities based their
academic regalia on the British system.
In the 1880s, a student movement
centering in New England investigated
the establishment of a “senior badge,” to
improve commencement week exercises
and revive the traditions of university
life. In 1893, an intercollegiate
commission established a uniform
code for caps, gowns and hoods for the
various degrees.
Of the costume’s three components, the
hood is the most interesting. Originally
it had three uses: as a head covering, as
a shoulder cape, and as a bag in which
alms could be collected. It is mentioned
as early as 1480 in clerical literature.
When large wigs were in vogue in
Britain, the cape part of the hood was
split in front and a narrow neckband
inserted. The entire cape and hood was
allowed to fall back as it is today, and it
was never restored to the original style.
Following is a list of the hood and tassel
colors established by the Intercollegiate
Code to represent departments of
