Commencement Speaker
A former Deputy Attorney General, state legislator, Lieutenant Governor
and two-term Governor of Delaware, Mike Castle served a record nine
terms as Delaware’s lone Member in the House of Representatives. During
his time in Congress (1993–2011), he worked to bring the common-sense
approach of Delaware's bipartisan legislating to Washington, D.C. He
built bridges and formed coalitions to find pragmatic, bipartisan solutions
to some of the most pressing problems facing the country and believed
strongly in returning the Congressional agenda to issues that really matter to
the American people.
Mike Castle played a key role in enacting many important laws that improve
the lives of all Americans, including welfare reform, the balanced budget
act, the Crime Bill, No Child Left Behind, vocational education, campaign
finance reform, medical research and intelligence reform. Castle consistently
used his leadership as a negotiator to improve legislation before it went to
the House floor, including ensuring important social programs like health
and education did not suffer unnecessary funding cuts.
Castle served as the chair and then ranking Member on the
Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary and Secondary
Education which has jurisdiction over pre-school through high school
education, including vo-tech education. He also served on the Higher
Education Subcommittee. Some of Castle’s priorities included obesity
prevention and child nutrition, Head Start and the recruitment of highly
qualified teachers.
the hon. michael n. castle
Mike Castle also served on the House Committee on Financial Services,
which has jurisdiction over banking and the securities and insurance
industries. He chaired the Subcommittee on Domestic and International
Monetary Policy and served on the Capital Markets and Financial
Institutions Subcommittee. In this capacity, Castle authored legislation to
protect sensitive data to shield consumers from identity theft, worked to
ensure the viability of low income housing programs, examined the impact of
Sarbanes-Oxley on corporations and studied ways to help more consumers
have access to the credit they need. He also sponsored legislation that would
require a study on the hedge fund industry and make recommendations
regarding hedge fund disclosure requirements. As a senior member on
this committee, he collaborated on Congressional proposals to halt the
foreclosure and mortgage crisis and strengthen American economic visibility.
Recently, Castle’s bill to create a Presidential Dollar Coin program, based on
his successful 50 State Quarter program, debuted with images of the Nation’s
Presidents. A follow-up program to the 50 State Quarter program, depicting
our National Parks in each state (with a Wildlife Refuge in Delaware, the
only State without a National Park), also debuted.
Mike Castle was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware where he
currently lives with his wife Jane. He is a graduate of Tower Hill School,
Hamilton College and Georgetown University Law School. He is a member
of the Delaware Bar and is presently employed as a partner with the law firm
of DLA Piper.
Alma Mater
Hail to thee proud Delaware,
In loyalty we stand.
We give thee thanks for glorious days
Beneath thy guiding hand.
Full often will we praise thy name,
Thy colors proudly bear;
We lift our voices now to sing
All hail to Delaware.
Lyrics by Robert Currie; Music by A.J. Loudis

Attendance at the University’s Commencement is voluntary. This program,
therefore, lists the names of all of those candidates who are eligible to participate
in this Commencement, not just those attending the ceremony. Because the
printing of the program was completed before the final certification of grades,
the graduation honors listed herein are tentative and are based on the cumulative
grade-point average after the conclusion of the candidate’s next-to-last semester.
Final honors for graduates will be determined after final grade-point averages
have been calculated. The top one percent of the candidates of each undergrad-
uate college’s graduating class will graduate summa cum laude. The next four
percent of the candidates of each undergraduate college’s graduating class will
graduate magna cum laude. The next highest eight percent of the candidates of
each undergraduate college’s graduating class will graduate cum laude.
The appearance of a name in this program is not necessarily a valid indication
of graduation or of honors. The diploma of the University and an official transcript provide authentic testimony to the conferring of a degree.

University of Delaware Honorary Degree
carol a. ammon
doctor of science
Admired and respected entrepreneur, a graduate of Central Connecticut State University, you began your
career as a lab technician in DuPont’s pharmaceutical division but soon found yourself pursuing a management
track, gaining experience in a variety of areas of the company and eventually rising through the ranks to
President of the U.S. Pharmaceuticals Division of DuPont Merck. Along the way you earned an MBA at Adelphi
University and completed the Advanced Management Program at Harvard University.
In 1997 you led a management buyout team and purchased 37 pharmaceutical products from DuPont Merck
to form Endo Pharmaceuticals. Inc. The company you formed is engaged in the research, development, sale,
and marketing of branded and generic pharmaceuticals used to treat and manage pain. You recognized from the
outset that the underserved pain management market was both a way to succeed in a competitive industry and a
way to make a real difference in people’s enjoyment of life.
In 2003, just five years after it was launched, Endo Pharmaceuticals was named Company of the Year by the
Eastern Technology Council. You, too, have been honored numerous times. In 2003 you received the Greater
Philadelphia Entrepreneur of the Year Award in the Health Sciences. The following year, you were named CEO
of the Year by the Eastern Technology Council. And in 2005 you received the Paradigm Award, the Philadelphia
region’s most prestigious award for businesswomen.
Creative and independent CEO, as you had at DuPont, you brought your own breed of management style to
Endo Pharmaceuticals. In interviews for the Philadelphia Inquirer, employees and colleagues have described you
as “accessible,” “considerate,” “persistent, “effervescent,” “demanding but sensitive” and “proof that the nice girls
do get the corner office.”
You never failed to credit your employees’ part in making the company a success. When you stated your five
principles for leadership, as you often did, three of those principles related to employees: hire the best people,
listen to what they say, and reward them for good work. The other two principles relate directly to your own
leadership style: to have a clear vision about where you are going and to be passionate about whatever you are
doing. Great leadership, you have said, “is not just a business principle; it is a life principle.” And, indeed, you
have demonstrated that you live your life by these principles.
Generous and quiet philanthropist, you stepped down from your position as CEO at Endo Pharmaceuticals in
2005, and two years later you retired from your role as Chairman of the Board. It was time, you said, to focus on
your philanthropic activities. Before and after you retired, you have served on the boards of museums, academic
institutions, and health care organizations. Locally, these include the Hagley Museum, the Delaware Art
Museum, Winterthur Museum and Christiana Care Health System, where you are currently Board Chair.
You established the Carol A. Ammon Foundation, which has given generously to institutions and projects related
to health, education, and helping children with physical or mental disabilities.
The management consultant Peter Drucker has famously said, “Wherever you see a successful business, someone
once made a courageous decision.”
Fourteen years ago, you made the courageous decision to leave your long-time employer and start your own
company. Having achieved success in business, you undertook a new goal—to use your talent and riches to give
back to your community.
Therefore, under the authority of the Board of Trustees of the University of Delaware, I have the pleasure and
honor of conferring upon you, Carol A. Ammon, the degree of Doctor of Science and do declare you entitled to
all the rights, honors and privileges to that degree appertaining throughout the world. In testimony thereof, I am
pleased to present to you this diploma.

University of Delaware Honorary Degree
michael n.
castle
doctor of laws
Delaware native and committed public servant, you were born in Wilmington and graduated from Tower
Hill School. You left the state to attend Hamilton College in New York and the Georgetown University School
of Law in Washington, D.C., but immediately after earning your degrees you returned to your beloved roots.
In 1965, just one year out of law school, you began your career in public service as deputy attorney general of
Delaware.
You were soon elected to the state House of Representatives and then the state Senate, following that up in the
early 1980s with a term as lieutenant governor of Delaware. In 1985 you were elected to the first of two terms as
the First State’s governor, an eight-year period in which the state enjoyed growth, prosperity and progress. You
were elected to your second term as governor by an impressive 71 percent of the vote. You left the statehouse
after reaching your term limit as governor but continued to serve the residents of Delaware as the state’s sole U.S.
Representative for nine consecutive terms. Your success in Delaware politics is all the more impressive given that
you are a Republican in a state where registered Democrats constitute a decided majority.
Champion of education, from your earliest years in elected office until the end of your final term, you made it
a priority to support the funding and improvement of education for Delawareans and later for all Americans. As
Governor, you set in motion a long-term overhaul of public education in Delaware that was later recognized in
the U.S. Department of Education’s Race to the Top competition as an exemplar for the nation.
On the national stage, you helped write the historic No Child Left Behind Act to reform K–12 education
through testing students, increasing flexibility, providing for professional development, and, most importantly
and successfully, narrowing the gap between disadvantaged students and their better-off peers. You also authored
legislation to improve education results for children with special needs. Your many accomplishments in the area
of education have encompassed the full spectrum of learning, from early childhood through higher education.
Wise and responsible economic leader, while Governor of Delaware, you worked to improve the business
climate in the state and bring in more jobs for Delawareans. You lowered personal income taxes while balancing
the budget. You brought that same drive for fiscal responsibility to Washington, where you led the effort to
ensure that tax cuts would not come before the federal government balanced its budget. You also worked to
establish new rules whereby increased spending or decreased taxes would be paid for by savings in other areas of
the budget, thus seeking to lessen the national debt.
In addition to education and finance, the many areas in which you have contributed to the betterment of our
country include campaign finance reform, environmental protection, homeland security, safe communities, and
better healthcare.
Nationally respected centrist leader, you have earned accolades from Republicans and Democrats alike for your
independence of thought and your reasoned approach to governing. Your colleagues, the press, your constituents
in Delaware, and the entire country knew that your votes were never based on blind allegiance to your party.
Instead when making decisions you brought to bear all of your knowledge and wisdom, heart and conscience.
President John Quincy Adams once said of governing, “Above all, let us never forget, in the most fervent heat of
our party conflicts, that there is a cause, embracing and transcending all others . . . the cause of our country.” Truly
we can say, Representative Castle, that in all your years of governing, you always put the cause of our country and
its people first.
Therefore, under the authority of the Board of Trustees of the University of Delaware, I have the pleasure and
honor of conferring upon you, Michael N. Castle, the degree of Doctor of Laws and do declare you entitled to
all the rights, honors and privileges to that degree appertaining throughout the world. In testimony thereof, I am
pleased to present to you this diploma.

University of Delaware Honorary Degree
david c.
driskell
doctor of fine arts
Acclaimed visual artist, after completing the art program at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in
Maine, you earned a B.A. from Howard University and an M.F.A. from the Catholic University of America. You
furthered your study of art history at the Netherlands Institute for the History of Art in The Hague, and studied
African and African American cultures independently in Europe, Africa, and South America.
You began your career as an artist in the 1950s. You create primarily in paint and collage, but you also have
worked with printing, drawing, sculpture, and stained glass. Your art has been featured in numerous solo and
group exhibitions throughout the United States and in the far reaches of the world. Your work is owned by
individual art collectors and major American museums such as the Corcoran Museum of Art, the Smithsonian’s
National Gallery of Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Thanks to the beneficence of the late Paul
R. Jones, the UD University Museums also boasts your work in our collection.
You draw your inspiration from nature and life, and from Western, African, and Black American traditions. You
make art, you have said, to free yourself, to give a new dimension to your own life, and you hope, to other people’s
lives as well. Most assuredly, you have succeeded in the latter endeavor.
Esteemed educator, you taught studio art and art history for more than four decades, serving on the faculty at
Talladega College, Howard University, Fisk University and the University of Maryland, College Park, where you
retired as Distinguished University Professor Emeritus in 1998. Your visiting appointments have taken you from
small colleges in the U.S. to a large university in Nigeria. You have lectured extensively throughout the world.
When you retired from university teaching, the University of Maryland at College Park honored your life’s work
by establishing The David C. Driskell Center for the Study of Visual Arts and Culture of African Americans and
the African Diaspora.
Groundbreaking scholar and curator, you are known the world over as one of the leading authorities on the
subject of African American art and the black artist in American society. Your revolutionary 1976 exhibition,
“Two Centuries of Black American Art: 1750–1950,” laid the foundation for the field of African American
Art History. In 1990, the exhibition became the basis for a television film, further disseminating knowledge of
African American art.
The catalog that you penned, “Hidden Heritage,” became an invaluable text to art scholars. You have, in
addition, written and co-written books and essays and published more than 40 catalogues for exhibitions you
curated, adding immeasurably to the world’s understanding and appreciation of African American Art. Your
innumerable honors and awards include the National Endowment for the Humanities Medal. In bestowing the
medal upon you in 2000, President Clinton noted that you have “opened our eyes to the beauty, poignancy and
power of African American art.” In 2006 the National Academy honored your outstanding reputation in the art
community by electing you a National Academician.
Writer, educator, and activist Joseph S. Cotter, Jr., once advised us, “Train your head and hands to do, your head
and heart to dare.” David C. Driskell, throughout your esteemed and varied career, you have used your head, your
hands, and your heart to bring knowledge and beauty to this world, and we are all richer for it.
Therefore, under the authority of the Board of Trustees of the University of Delaware, I have the pleasure and
honor of conferring upon you, David C. Driskell, the degree of Doctor of Fine Arts and do declare you entitled
to all the rights, honors and privileges to that degree appertaining throughout the world. In testimony thereof, I
am pleased to present to you this diploma.

University of Delaware Honorary Degree
richard f. heck
doctor of science
Winner of the 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, you were honored with this most prestigious award “for
palladium-catalyzed cross couplings in organic synthesis,” which the Nobel Committee recognized as “one of the
most sophisticated tools available to chemists today.”
You began experimenting with using palladium as a catalyst for joining carbon atoms while you were a researcher
at Hercules in the 1960s, and you continued to refine and expand on your research while a professor at the
University of Delaware. Your early breakthroughs set the stage for research in the 1970s by other chemists,
including Ei-ichi Negishi and Akira Suzuki, with whom you shared the Nobel Prize.
In the decades since, scientists worldwide have recognized the widespread applicability of the Heck reaction.
Palladium-catalyzed cross coupling, the Nobel Committee noted, is now used widely in research, as well as in the
commercial production of pharmaceuticals and molecules used in the electronics industry.
Researcher with real-world impact, your findings in the laboratory have made possible pharmaceuticals
such as antibiotics that work on drug-resistant bacteria; Taxol, a potential anti-cancer drug; steroids; the antiinflammatory Naproxen; and the asthma drug Singular. Your work allowed the automation of DNA mapping,
which made possible the Human Genome Project.
Your research has made affordable the large-scale industrial production of computer chips and has helped lead to
thinner computer screens.
It has impacted the all-important development of new energy technologies ranging from organic LEDs to sugarbased fuel cells. The Heck reaction itself provides economic and environmental benefits such as reduced use of
materials and waste.
Esteemed University of Delaware Professor, you earned both your bachelor of science degree and your
doctorate at the University of California Los Angeles. After postdoctoral work, you joined Hercules in
Wilmington, Delaware. In 1971 you began your career in the chemistry department at the University of
Delaware. You taught here for nearly two decades, retiring in 1989 as the Willis F. Harrington Professor
Emeritus. To honor you, in 2004 the University established the Heck Lectureship, an annual award given in
recognition of significant achievement in the field of organometallic chemistry. And just this week the University
hosted a scholarly symposium in your honor.
The Delaware section of the American Chemical Society has bestowed upon you the Wallace H. Carothers
Award for creative applications of chemistry that have had substantial commercial impact. You received as well
the Herbert C. Brown Award for Creative Research in Synthetic Methods from the American Chemical Society.
Dr. Robert Jarvik, the inventor of the first permanent total artificial heart, has said, “The most powerful forces
that change the way we live are the applied sparks of insight that we call invention.” Without question, Professor
Heck, your research and inventiveness have dramatically changed for the better the way we all live.
Therefore, under the authority of the Board of Trustees of the University of Delaware, I have the pleasure and
honor of conferring upon you, Richard F. Heck, the degree of Doctor of Science and do declare you entitled to
all the rights, honors and privileges to that degree appertaining throughout the world. In testimony thereof, I am
pleased to present to you this diploma.

contributions made in honor of the
Class of 2011
The Office of Annual Giving would like to congratulate the senior class on their accomplishments during
the past few years and commend them for choosing to leave a legacy which represents their individuality,
uniqueness and, most importantly, passions. Hundreds of students from each of the University’s seven
colleges have shown their loyalty to the University of Delaware through the Senior Class Gift campaign.
Many areas of campus, from colleges and departments to student activities, will benefit from the generosity
of our most recent graduates.
We admire our students for their ongoing leadership and for recognizing the importance of giving back in
a way that expresses their individual interests. The Class of 2011 has proven their commitment to academic
excellence by continuing the tradition of giving, providing many new and exciting opportunities for our
next generation of Blue Hens.
The University of Delaware Alumni Association admires our graduates for their accomplishments and
welcomes them as our newest members of a thriving community. In honor of the Class of 2011, the UDAA
has made a generous contribution to the University of Delaware to celebrate their legacy and mark the
beginning of a lifetime of support and appreciation for their alma mater.
For an updated honor roll of those who have shown their support, or to show your pride in our recent
graduates, please visit www.udel.edu/giving/seniors.html
We also give special thanks to the leaders of the 2011 Senior Class Gift Committee for their hard work
and dedication for this very special project. Members include: Erica Cohen (Class co-Chair), Dan Gerber
(Class co-Chair), Rebecca Centeno, Sandy Cos, Abigail Cunanan, Tyler Hespe, Kristen Moran, Kevin
Murphy, Craig Parker, Meredith Ruben, Courtney Simmons, Christina Womboldt, Lauren Zaremba and
our student callers. Thank you!

The flags included in today’s ceremony celebrate the over 50 American states and territories as well as over 100 foreign
countries that are represented among the University of Delaware’s student body. The flags also pay tribute to the
leadership role that University benefactor Pierre S. du Pont played in establishing the University’s Junior Year Abroad
Program, the first program of its kind in the world.
historical sketch
The University of Delaware traces its roots to a school founded by the
distinguished Colonial scholar, The Reverend Dr. Francis Alison, in 1743,
in New London, Pennsylvania. By 1765 the school had been moved to
Newark where, in 1769, it received a charter as the Academy of Newark
from Thomas and Richard Penn.
On February 5, 1833, the General Assembly of the State of Delaware passed
an act establishing a perpetual charter for a college at Newark. New Ark
College opened as a degree-granting institution in 1834 and the Academy
was merged with it. The institution was renamed Delaware College in
1843, and in 1921 an act of the Delaware General Assembly created the
University of Delaware with two colleges—Delaware College and the
Women’s College.
The first Commencement was held on September 23, 1836, for five young
men. Graduating classes remained small for several years and on occasion
numbered only one or two students. No commencements were held in 1837 and 1850 because there were no students prepared to graduate. On
four occasions, 1847, ’51, ’53, and ’71, only master’s degrees were awarded.
The College was closed in 1859 for financial reasons and the impending
Civil War.
The Board of Trustees continued to meet and by means of the Morrill
Land-Grant Act the College reopened in 1870, graduating its first new
class in 1873. In the years before 1873 there were sixteen years in which no
degrees were awarded. Since that time, however, annual commencements
have continued uninterrupted.
academic costume
The use of the academic costume, which seems to have originated in the
English universities of Oxford and Cambridge, has been traditional in
university life since the medieval times. In England and other European
countries academic attire generally is distinctive with each university so that
very colorful ensembles of diverse styles are commonly used abroad.
Unlike European academic apparel, the academic costume of American
universities follows a regular pattern, the styles and colors having been
established by an intercollegiate agreement in 1895. Cap, hood, and gown
are prescribed in style. Color variations indicate differences in the field of
knowledge presented and the conferring institutions.
The mortarboard cap is identical for holders of associate, bachelor’s, and
master’s degrees. For holders of the doctorate, the cap may be made of velvet
and the tassel may be gold. Candidates for the associate and bachelor’s
degrees wear the tassel on the right of the cap, changing it to the left side
after the degree has been conferred.
The associate and bachelor’s gowns are designed with full sleeves. The
master’s gown, designed with sleeves closed at the base and slit at the elbow,
appears to have half-sleeves that leave the forearm uncovered. The doctor’s
gown has bell-shaped sleeves with velvet bars and is faced with velvet around
the collar and down the front edges.
Hoods representing the four levels of degrees differ primarily in size. The
colors of the hood lining are characteristic of the conferring college. For
example, University of Delaware colors are blue and gold; University of
Pennsylvania, red and blue; Columbia University, blue and white; etc. The color of the velvet border for the hood indicates the branch of
knowledge represented.
the mace and chain of office
The mace—the ornamental staff carried at the lead of the Commencement
procession—was historically a weapon of war. Traditionally used by
horsemen and warriors to unseat battle opponents and smash heavy
armor during tournaments, it was typically made entirely of metal and
was crafted to include a grooved head with lethally sharp spikes. After
abandoning its barbaric roots for more genteel pursuits in the Middle
Ages, the mace became associated with high-level state occasions and
eventually gained prominence as a modern-day symbol of power,
authority and dignity, according to a booklet published by the University Archives.
The University acquired its mace in 1971 during a resurgence of interest
in this tradition on the part of American universities. In keeping with
its current symbolism, the University’s mace, which has the elaborate
features of an early 14th-century model, is carried before the President
and members of the platform party by the University Marshal in academic
processions. The wearing of the chain in conjunction with the mace
indicates that the President temporarily embodies “the power, authority,
autonomy, immunity, and sovereignty” vested in the institution he
represents.
The mace of the University of Delaware is 42 inches long and weighs nine
and one-half pounds. The head of the mace is 10 inches in diameter and
displays eight diamond-shaped, enamel-and-gold-plated silver panels that
alternate the Blue Hen and the American holly—Delaware’s state bird and
state tree, respectively.
The chain of office of the University of Delaware is 48 inches long and
displays alternating panels of Blue Hens and holly clusters on a diamondshaped background. From the chain hangs a medallion bearing the seal
of the University surrounded by holly leaves and berries. The recurring
diamond theme used in the mace and chain salutes Delaware as “The
Diamond State,” a designation that refers to Delaware’s worth in relation
to its size.
As handcrafted works of art, the mace and chain of office are part of the
University’s Permanent Art Collection.
