2014 GRADUATION SPEAKER:
Richard Besser, MD
R
ichard Besser, MD, is ABC News’ Chief Health
and Medical Editor. In this role, he provides
medical analysis and commentary for all ABC News
broadcasts and platforms, including “World News
with Diane Sawyer,” “Good Morning America,” and
“Nightline.” In 2011, he led ABC’s global health
coverage, “Be the Change: Save a Life,” reporting on
health issues from seven different countries.
Dr. Besser came to ABC News in 2009 from the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), where he served as Acting Director for the CDC from
January to June 2009, during which time he led the CDC’s response to the
H1N1 influenza pandemic. He also served as director of the Coordinating
Office for Terrorism Preparedness and Emergency Response. In that role, he
was responsible for all of the CDC’s public health emergency preparedness
and emergency response activities.
Dr. Besser began his career at the CDC in 1991 in the Epidemic Intelligence
Service working on the epidemiology of food-borne diseases. Following this,
beginning in 1993, he served for five years on the faculty of the University
of California, San Diego, as the pediatric residency director. While in
San Diego he worked for the county health department on the control of
pediatric tuberculosis. He returned to the CDC in 1998, where he served in
various capacities, including as epidemiology section chief in the Respiratory
Diseases Branch; acting chief of the Meningitis and Special Pathogens Branch
in the National Center for Infectious Disease; and as the medical director of
“Get Smart: Know When Antibiotics Work,” the CDC’s national campaign to
promote appropriate antibiotic use in the community.

Dr. Besser volunteers as a Pediatrician with the Children’s Aid Society in New
York City. He is currently a Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Harvard School
of Public Health.
The author and coauthor of hundreds of presentations, abstracts, chapters,
editorials and publications, Dr. Besser has received many awards for his work
in public health and volunteer service. He received the Surgeon General’s
Medallion for his leadership during the H1N1 response, and in 2011 he
accepted the Dean’s Medal for his contributions to public health from the
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. His investigative reporting
into umbilical cord blood banking was nominated for an Emmy Award in 2011.
In 2012 he received an Overseas Press Club award as part of ABC’s coverage
of global maternal health issues and two Peabody Awards as part of ABC
News’ coverage of Hurricane Sandy and Robin Roberts’ health journey.
Dr. Besser’s first book, Tell Me the Truth, Doctor: Easy-to-Understand Answers to
Your Most Confusing and Critical Health Questions, was published by Hyperion in
April 2013.
Dr. Besser received his bachelor of arts degree in economics from Williams
College and his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania. He
completed a residency and chief residency in pediatrics at Johns Hopkins
University Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.
He met his wife, Jeanne, a food writer, while on his first outbreak
investigation in 1991. They have two sons, Alex and Jack.

HISTORY OF
Caps, Gowns, and Hoods
O
ne of the most colorful features of an academic procession is the
appearance of the graduates and faculty in full academic attire. These caps,
gowns, and hoods have long histories, and their patterns and colors have special
significance.
The gown recalls the time when students in centers of higher learning were
members of the clergy and therefore wore garments the church considered proper
for them.
The custom of wearing a cap comes from the Roman usage of conferring upon
slaves the right to wear a cap when they were granted their freedom. The oxford or
mortarboard cap worn today is thought to be a combination of the close-fitting cap
worn indoors by the scholars of the Middle Ages and the soft square biretta worn
out-of-doors. The tuft on the early cap has been replaced by a tassel.
In modern universities, the distinctive mark of a degree is the hood, which in
its earliest form was simply an article of clothing. Since churches and lecture
halls of European universities were cold and drafty, scholars wore their hoods as
head coverings. American institutions, unlike those of England and Europe, have
adopted a standard code of academic costume. The design of the gown, the color
of the tassel on the cap, and the pattern, length, and colors of the hood all have
special significance.
Both the associate and bachelor’s gowns are closed at the throat and have long,
pointed sleeves. The master’s gown has oblong sleeves, open at the wrist, tapering
at the back in a square cut which ends in an arc cutaway. The doctor’s gown is
faced with velvet and has bell-shaped sleeves. Each sleeve carries three bars of
velvet or chevrons.
The most colorful part of the costumes is the hood. The color of the velvet trim
indicates the department that granted the degree, and the width of the trim
corresponds to the level of degree. The lining, or area inside the velvet, denotes
the college or university awarding the degree.
During the doctoral degree recognition, doctoral degree recipients carry their
hoods as they walk toward the stage and present them to marshals. After being
draped with the hood, they walk across the stage for individual recognition by the
dean of the School of Public Health and members of the faculty.

The Flag
OF THE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH
T
he University of Michigan School of
Public Health flag depicts the major
facets of the objective, meaning, and role of
public health in modern life. The “union” of the
flag, next to the staff, is in the university colors
of maize and blue. The “field” is in the academic
salmon of public health. The “device” in the
center of the field consists of a shield which
expresses protection for the public by those working in public health. The
shield is in the academic black of public administration to indicate the various
governmental and public agencies that carry out public health activities.
Superimposed on the shield is a white square which refers to the basic
education of those in public health; the academic white is for the general
liberal arts education necessary in a field which combines natural sciences
and social sciences. In the square is a square cross associated with health
because of the Red Cross, itself derived from the Swiss White Cross, and
in this flag symbolizing public rather than individual personal health. The
colors of the square cross indicate some of the technical and specialized
background of groups of students in the school.
The horizontal cross arms are in the academic orange of engineering and the
vertical arms in the academic apricot of nursing. The latter represents not
only public health nurses, but more generally the devoted service of all those
in public health.
The “crest” of the shield is a highly stylized modern version of the ancient
caduceus (staff with entwined snakes and wings) which evolved from the tree
of life, the snakes of which have been eliminated as pertaining specifically to
the medical arts of healing. The center vertical element of the caduceus is the
staff of Aesculapius, and the wings are those of Mercury, messenger of the
gods. They are rendered in nonacademic blue—indicative of flight—and in
this flag symbolize the broad and high ideals of the public health profession.

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH:
A Brief History
T
he teaching of public health at the University of Michigan
dates back to 1881, when sanitary science first became a part of the
university’s curriculum. The university awarded its first Master of Science in
public health in 1915 and a year later issued its first Doctor of Public Health
degree. The School of Public Health was formally chartered in 1941 and has
been at the forefront of public health education and research ever since.
We are consistently ranked one of the top schools of public health in the
United States.
The school’s mission is to create and disseminate knowledge with the aim of
preventing disease and promoting the health of populations worldwide.
We are especially concerned with health equity and thus have a special focus

on disadvantaged populations who suffer disproportionately from illness and
disability. We serve as a diverse and inclusive crossroads of knowledge and
practice, with the goal of solving current and future public health problems.
Among health science schools, we are unique in that we place a strong
emphasis on disease prevention and health promotion, rather than on the
treatment of existing illness. The school employs integrated approaches
to solving public health problems, and teaches and promotes the ethical
practice of public health.
Courses of study are organized around five departments: Biostatistics,
Environmental Health Sciences, Epidemiology, Health Behavior & Health
Education, and Health Management & Policy. Degrees offered include the

OF HEALTH RIGHTS
38
W
e, as people concerned about health improvement in the world,
do hereby commit ourselves to advocacy and action to promote the
health rights of all human beings.
The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the
fundamental rights of every human being. It is not a privilege reserved for
those with power, money, or social standing.
Health is more than the absence of disease, but includes prevention of
illness, development of individual potential, a positive sense of physical,
mental and social well-being.
Health care should be based on dialogue and collaboration between citizens,
professionals, communities, and policymakers. Health services should be
affordable, accessible, effective, efficient, and convenient.
Health begins with healthy development of the child and a positive family
environment. Health must be sustained by the active role of men and women
in health development. The role of men and women, and their welfare, must
be recognized and addressed.
Health care for the elderly should preserve dignity, respect, and concern for
quality of life and not merely extend life.
Health requires a sustainable environment with balanced human population
growth and preservation of cultural diversity.
Health depends on the availability to all people of basic essentials: food,
safe water, housing, education, productive employment, protection from
pollution, and prevention of social alienation.
Health depends on protection from exploitation without distinction of age,
ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, political belief, and
economic or social condition.
Health requires peaceful and equitable development and collaboration of
all peoples.
