In her capacity as professor and associate dean, she conducted and supervised many types of civil and criminal litigation at all levels of the state and federal courts. UM Law School’s clinical programs are now recognized nationally as one of the best places to be trained as a lawyer. In 2008, McCormack co-founded the Michigan Innocence Clinic, in which students represent wrongfully convicted Michigan residents. In 2010, she received the “Justice for All” Award for the clinic’s work, and in 2011, the Washtenaw County Bar Association presented her with the “Patriot Award.” In 2012, she received Cooley Law School’s “Distinguished Brief Award” for the best brief filed in the Michigan Supreme Court during the term. Justice Bridget Mary McCormack joined the Michigan Supreme Court in January 2013. Before her election, she was a law professor and dean at the University of Michigan Law School, where she continues to teach. McCormack is a graduate of the New York University Law School, where she was a Root-Tilden scholar and won the Anne Petluck Poses Prize in Clinical Advocacy. She worked for five years in New York, first with the Legal Aid Society and then the Office of the Appellate Defender, representing more than 1,000 clients in trial and appellate courts. In 1996, she became a faculty fellow at Yale Law School. In 1998, she joined UM Law School, where she taught criminal law, legal ethics, and more.

Trace B. Hill, Student Respondent with mathematics courses ranging from beginning algebra through calculus and electromagnetic physics. Over the past two summers, he secured engineering internships at Nexteer Automotive in Saginaw, and then with Boeing’s Phantom Works -- Advanced Design and Prototype Solutions division in Huntsville, Ala.On campus, he helped organize and spoke at the university’s first TEDx event in 2015, was an officer in the LSSU Honors Student Organization, raised funds for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, and volunteered at FIRST Robotics events hosted at LSSU. He was a member of Lambda Epsilon Eta Engineering Honor Society and the LSSU club soccer team. Among his honors and awards, in 2015, he was the sole recipient of LSSU Faculty Association Academic Excellence Scholarship, and for the past four years, the engineering faculty has chosen him as “Outstanding Student in Computer Engineering.” “I graduated from a small high school in a small town, so I respected the intimacy of this campus. You can recognize that the faculty here are invested in both the personal Roscommon native Trace Hill is graduating summa cum laude with an honors degree in computer engineering and a math minor. For his honors thesis, he conducted pedagogical research to identify challenges associated with the adoption of design-based learning in K-12 science and math classrooms. For his engineering degree, he worked with an interdisciplinary team to produce a real-world product for industry, a requirement of LSSU engineering for many years. His team designed Bermuda-style window shutters with motorized blades that use solar panels to power blade rotation, a USB charging station, and interior lighting. Team sponsor 3M will use the prototype to demonstrate what could be marketed as an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional window shutters. In addition to his studies, Hill worked in the LSSU Automated Systems Lab, where he conducted demonstrations for prospective students, industrial contacts, and state legislators. He was also a calculus and physics tutor at LSSU’s Learning Center, where he assisted his peers 7 and professional lives of their students,” he said. “During my internship at Boeing, I worked with students from iconic engineering schools, but I still felt better prepared because of opportunities afforded to me here as an undergraduate,” he added. “Working as an assistant in the Robotics Lab, and working directly with professors on self-directed research outside of your field -- that’s unheard of at bigger institutions, and something that has proved priceless time and time again. “I’ve also had an incredible group of friends in the engineering program that never stopped challenging one other, and a family that instilled a strong set of values when I was growing up that have served me well.” Hill returns to Huntsville in June to work as a software engineer at the Boeing division where he was an intern. He will be working in a department contracted by NASA for the development of a rocket called Space Launch System while pursuing a master’s degree in physics. Hill is the son of Brian and Julie Hill of Roscommon, Mich. He has one brother, Shane, who works as a forensic analyst in the Michigan State Police Bridgeport laboratory. National Anthems 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, Thro’ 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 thro’ 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? O Canada! O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free, From far and wide, O Canada, We stand on guard for thee. God keep our land, glorious and free! O Canada! We stand on guard for thee. O Canada! We stand on guard for thee. Musicians The pipe and drum musicians who bring in the LSSU administration, trustees and faculty and staff are with the Duncan Family of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. They have been piping in our processional for 54 years, since our first commencement ceremony. We are very grateful for their commitment and dedication. The LSSU Chorus is an on-campus performing group that presents two concerts annually in the fall and the spring at the LSSU Arts Center. The chorus has traditionally been offered to students for credit, as well as being open to non-credit students and community members by audition. Over the past decade, the chorus, under the direction of Karen Hughes Beacom, has performed with the Sault Symphony, the Soo Theatre Project, Soo Opera Theatre and the Madrigal Dinner for Hospice of the EUP. Native American drummers have been a part of our commencement ceremony since 1997, sending out our graduates with an Honor Song. This year, we are proud to welcome Aabizii of Brimley, Mich. Honor Songs are described as being “... given to us so we could honor each other as brothers and sisters and to honor all of creation. The spirit of the drum is for the people, the heartbeat of Mother Earth, and a gift from the Creator. These songs lend us support and help us get through trying times.” 8 Academic Attire Hoods vary in size and shape. They are lined in the official academic colors of the institution conferring the degree. A chevron is used to introduce a second color. Colored velvet trims the hood and indicates the subject to which the degree pertains. The University president wears a large medallion donned only on ceremonial occasions. That medallion, cast in bronze, is inscribed with the founding date of the University, its name and the state seal. At Lake Superior State University, it is customary to identify the candidates graduating by tassels of the official color appropriate to the subject of study. The use of academic dress stems from costumes used in universities of the 14th and 15th centuries, particularly at Oxford and Cambridge in England. Used in the United States from colonial times, the regalia was standardized by an intercollegiate code in 1895. Three types of gowns are indicated by the code. The baccalaureate gown has long pointed sleeves. Our baccalaureate graduates wear blue gowns. The gold version of this gown is worn by associate degree recipients. The master’s gown has long closed sleeves with the arc of a circle near the bottom. They are garbed in black. The doctoral gown has full bellshaped sleeves with three velvet bars and velvet panels down the center front of the gown.

Commencement Marshal The marshal, who leads and directs the ceremony, is the recipient of the previous year’s Distinguished Teaching Award. The marshal this year is Dr. John Roese, Professor of Biological Sciences. He bears the ceremonial sash and the university mace that serve as symbols of authority. 9 School of Arts and Letters Bachelor of Arts in Communication Amanda Lynn CadyGreg H.
