Commencement Speaker
Soledad O’Brien is the anchor for CNN morning show Starting Point with
Soledad O’Brien and special correspondent for CNN/U.S. Since joining
the network in 2003, O’Brien has reported breaking news from around
the globe and has produced award-winning, record-breaking and critically
acclaimed documentaries on the most important stories facing the world
today. She also covers political news as part of CNN’s “Best Political Team
on Television.” In 2010, she wrote a critically-acclaimed memoir The Next
Big Story: My Journey Through the Land of Possibilities, which chronicles her
biggest reporting moments and how her upbringing and background have
influenced these experiences.
In 2009, Soledad reported for Latino in America, a wide-ranging look at
Latinos living in this country; how they’re reshaping America and how
America is reshaping them. Prior, O’Brien reported for “Black in America
2,” a four-hour documentary focusing on successful community leaders who
are improving the lives of African-Americans. O’Brien’s reporting for Black
in America in 2008 revealed the state of Black America 40 years after the
assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. She has also reported for the
CNN documentary “Words That Changed a Nation,” featuring a neverbefore-seen look at Dr. King’s private writings and notes, and investigated
his assassination in “Eyewitness to Murder: The King Assassination.” Her
“Children of the Storm” project and “One Crime at a Time” documentary
demonstrate O’Brien’s continued commitment to covering stories out of
New Orleans.

O’Brien joined CNN as the co-anchor of the network’s flagship morning
program, American Morning, and distinguished herself by reporting from
the scene on the transformational stories that broke on her watch. For
CNN’s Katrina coverage, O’Brien’s reports on the storm’s impact included
an in-depth interview with former FEMA chief Michael Brown. She also
covered the Japan earthquake and tsunami in 2011, London terrorism
attacks in July 2005, and in December 2004, she was among a handful of
CNN anchors sent to Thailand to cover the disaster and aftermath of the
tsunami.
In 2011, Soledad won her first Emmy for “Crisis in Haiti” (Anderson
Cooper 360) in the category of Outstanding Live Coverage of a Current
News Story – Long Form. O’Brien was part of the coverage teams that
earned CNN a George Foster Peabody award for its BP oil spill and Katrina
coverage and an Alfred I. duPont Award for its coverage of the Southeast
Asia tsunami. The National Association of Black Journalists named O’Brien
the Journalist of the Year and Edward R. Murrow Awards lauded her with
the RTDNA/UNITY award for Latino in America in 2010.
O’Brien came to CNN from NBC News where she anchored the network’s
Weekend Today since July 1999. Prior, O’Brien anchored MSNBC’s awardwinning technology program The Site.
Soledad O’Brien is a graduate of Harvard University and currently lives with
her husband and four children in Manhattan.
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
undergraduate 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
simmie knox
doctor of fine arts
Determined, resilient, and gifted, you moved in life from an early childhood spent on a sharecropper’s farm
to being the favored portrait artist of cultural icons, judges, politicians, and, your most noted achievement, the
President of the United States.
Born in 1935, you grew up in the segregated South, a place where it was not even possible for you to take an art
class, so instead you began your training under the tutelage of a mailman. Although you were endowed with
great artistic skill and you loved drawing, you saw no future for yourself as an artist in the United States of the
1950s, so you joined the military. Later you matriculated at Delaware State University and then the University
of Delaware. At first you studied subjects other than art, but even so your talent did not go unnoticed by your
professors, and you soon switched your major to art education and earned your degree from UD in 1967.
Multi-talented teacher and visual artist, you went on to teach art for 18 years at a series of schools and colleges
in the Mid-Atlantic. Simultaneously you earned both a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Master’s degree from the
Tyler School of Art at Temple University.
At first you produced the abstract art that was favored at the time, and you had success with it, even participating
in a group exhibition with top artists at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. But your heart told
you that abstract art was not your calling. You began to paint portraits, and in 1980 you stopped teaching to
focus solely on producing art.
Acclaimed portrait artist, although you never took a course in portrait painting, you taught yourself through
painting people and even details such as hands over and over again. Your aim with your portraiture, you once
said, “is to tell a story, to summarize that person and that person’s life in a picture.”
You began to get noticed, and in 1986 you had your first significant commission from Bill Cosby. From there
your career took off, as you painted other celebrities, including Muhammad Ali, Alex Haley, and Hank Aaron, as
well as numerous politicians and judges, including Supreme Court Justices Thurgood Marshall and Ruth Bader
Ginsburg.
You came to the attention of then President Bill Clinton, who selected you to paint his official White House
portrait. You were the first African-American ever selected for that great honor and your work now hangs
alongside that of America’s greatest portrait artists.
Edouard Manet once said, “You would hardly believe how difficult it is to place a figure alone on a canvas, and to
concentrate all the interest on this single and unique figure and still keep it living and real.” Indeed, portraiture
demands the greatest skill from an artist—the ability to paint not only the face, but also the soul. Simmie, in
your long, distinguished career as a portrait artist, you have shown again and again the talent to portray the very
essence of your subjects.
Therefore, under the authority of the Board of Trustees of the University of Delaware, I have the pleasure and
honor of conferring upon you, Simmie Knox, 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.

The honorary degree is the highest
honor the University of Delaware
bestows and is presented to
individuals whose contributions to
the public good warrant exceptional
recognition.

University of Delaware Honorary Degree
soledad o’brien
doctor of
humane letters
Incisive, accomplished broadcast journalist, you began your career as an associate producer and news writer at
WBZ-TV in Boston and moved on to NBC affiliate KRON in San Francisco, where you were a local reporter
and bureau chief. Your work at KRON earned the attention of the network, and you were invited to join NBC
News in New York in 1991.
You worked as a field producer for Nightly News and TODAY before moving on to anchor MSNBC’s awardwinning technology program The Site. Your successes there earned you a spot anchoring the network’s Weekend
Today, a show with millions of viewers. While at NBC you covered major news stories such as the explosion of
the space shuttle Challenger and the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
In 2003 you joined CNN as co-anchor of American Morning. Today you are anchor of the CNN morning show
Starting Point and special correspondent for CNN/U.S., covering political news and many other topics. During
your time at CNN you have distinguished yourself by reporting from the scene on stories such as the Hurricane
Katrina disaster, the tsunami in Thailand, and the Japanese earthquake and tsunami.
Your many reporting awards include an Emmy for your live coverage of Haiti’s devastating hurricane and the
Gracie Allen Award for your reporting from Cyprus on the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict as well as your reports from
the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina. You have been honored by the National Association of Black Journalists,
the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute, and the NAACP.
Acclaimed documentarian, in your memoir The Next Big Story, you noted that when you were growing up you
felt invisible as “a light-skinned black girl in a white town.” America today, you added, may be a “kaleidoscope
of people” but there is still is a need “for thoughtful conversation about race and ethnicity and identity.” You
have helped to move that conversation along through your multiple Black in America and Latino in America
documentaries as well as your special report on Muslims in America and religious freedom protections. Your
exhaustively researched and compellingly reported documentaries also have included specials on female rescue
workers of 9/11, public education in America, and children in Haiti.
Generous mentor and educational sponsor, grateful for those men and women who have mentored you
throughout your career, you have paid it forward by mentoring hundreds of girls in journalism. A proponent of
education, with your husband you started the Soledad O’Brien and Brad Raymond Foundation. Not only does
the Foundation provide scholarships for young women who face obstacles in earning their degrees, but it also
provides one-on-one mentoring to help them accomplish their goals.
Your journalism, too, is a way of practicing humanitarianism, as you have shown your viewers time and time again
with your compassionate reporting and your drive to report on the overlooked people in our society. That work
has earned you honors from the Morehouse School of Medicine, which recognized you as “a catalyst for social
change” and the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, which gave you its Goodermote Humanitarian Award.
The great artist Vincent Van Gogh said, “Your profession is not what brings home your paycheck. Your
profession is what you were put on earth to do. With such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual
in calling.” Soledad, whether you are reporting live on breaking news, hosting your own show, or creating a
documentary, you do so with passion and intensity that both enlightens and enriches your viewers. You truly have
found your calling.
Therefore, under the authority of the Board of Trustees of the University of Delaware, I have the pleasure and
honor of conferring upon you, Soledad O’Brien, the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters 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
donald j.
puglisi
doctor of humanities
Respected scholar, professor, and mentor, you earned your Bachelor of Arts and Master of Business
Administration degrees from Michigan State University and your Doctor of Business Administration degree
from Indiana University. You joined the faculty of the University of Delaware in 1971 and taught undergraduate
and graduate students about securities analysis, portfolio management, management of financial institutions,
and corporate finance. You were named MBNA America Professor of Business in the Department of Finance in
1992.
During your more than 30 years as a faculty member, you were honored six times for your teaching, receiving
the College of Business and Economics Outstanding Teaching Award an impressive four times, as well as the
Excellence in MBA Teaching Award and the University’s Excellence in Teaching Award. You have published
extensively in your areas of scholarship. You were recognized for your many accomplishments with two of the
University’s highest honors: the Medal of Distinction in 1996 and emeritus status upon your retirement in 2002.
Financial servant of your state and country, as a UD Public Service Fellow, you consulted for the Office of the
Treasurer for the State of Delaware. You served for seven years on the state’s Public Service Commission, which
regulates investor-owned utilities providing services for public use. For your contributions to your state, you were
honored in 2000 by then Governor Thomas R. Carper with the Order of the First State Award. In addition, you
were a visiting research scholar in the Office of Policy and Economic Research of the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board in Washington, D.C., which recognized your work with two Outstanding Service Awards.
Astute businessman, in 1973 you started your own business, Puglisi & Associates, to provide financial and
administrative services to a variety of Delaware-based holding companies, including many that are subsidiaries of
major U.S.- and foreign-based corporations. You continue with that highly successful venture today.
Generous benefactor, you have long been a financial supporter of the University. In honor of your beloved
parents, John and Josephine, you established the Puglisi Scholarship at the University’s College of Business
and Economics. The University boasts its Puglisi Orchestra Hall due to another gift in honor of your parents.
Just over a year ago, you gave a donation for which we are most grateful, a $1 million commitment to create
the Donald J. Puglisi Music Enrichment Fund to provide such enhancements to the Department of Music as
undergraduate scholarships, student ensembles, visiting professors, guest artists, and instruments.
Winston Churchill famously said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
Throughout your adult life, Don, you have always given of yourself, through your teaching and mentoring,
your service, and your philanthropy.
Therefore, under the authority of the Board of Trustees of the University of Delaware, I have the pleasure and
honor of conferring upon you, Donald J. Puglisi, the degree of Doctor of Humanities 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
angelica zander
rudenstine
doctor of humanities
Respected researcher and curator of art, you earned both Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees with honors at
Oxford University as well as a Master of Arts degree with distinction in Classical Archaeology at Smith College.
In 1961 you began your career at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where you were responsible for research in
European paintings.
You later were commissioned by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum to catalog the museum’s entire
permanent collection, and went on to prepare a catalog of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. While serving as
an adjunct professor at the Institute of Fine Arts New York University, you cataloged the Pulitzer Collection.
You served as curator or co-curator of several major exhibitions, including The George Costakis Collection at
the Guggenheim Museum; Kazimir Malevich at the National Gallery and the Metropolitan Museum; and Piet
Mondrian at the National Gallery and the Museum of Modern Art.
Accomplished author, in conjunction with your cataloging and curating work, you have written or edited six
books and exhibition catalogs that have added immensely to our knowledge and appreciation of art history.
You have served on the editorial boards of the Art Bulletin and The American Scholar as well as on publication
committees for several organizations.
Creative and effective champion of museums and art conservation, your career as a researcher and curator
would have been impressive on its own, but you went on to contribute so much more to the world of art through
your work from 1993 to 2010 as Program Officer for Museums and Art Conservation at the Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation. During your tenure, the program awarded 358 grants totaling more than $250 million.
At the time of your retirement, Foundation President Don Randel praised you for having left “a series of indelible
marks on the world of museums and art conservation.” Because of your efforts, for example, the curatorial and
scholarly capacity has been enhanced at many museums; college and university art museums now have the ability
to contribute more to the academic life of their schools; advanced conservation training programs have been
strengthened; new scientific methods have improved art conservation practices; and the field of photographic
conservation has been further developed.
You have accomplished these important advances through your unceasing advocacy for the highest standards of
art conservation and your rare ability to bring museum professionals, conservators, scientists, and academic art
historians together in collaborative partnerships.
Marcel Proust said, “Only through art can we get outside of ourselves and know another’s view of the universe
. . . and see landscapes which would otherwise have remained unknown to us. . . . Thanks to art, instead of seeing
a single world, our own, we see it multiply until we have before us as many worlds as there are individual artists.”
Angelica, you have always recognized that art is essential to life, and you have made it your mission to preserve
the art of the past. Because of your foresight, commitment and creativity, these artworks will be available to
enrich the lives of many generations to come.
Therefore, under the authority of the Board of Trustees of the University of Delaware, I have the pleasure
and honor of conferring upon you, Angelica Zander Rudenstine, the degree of Doctor of Humanities 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 2012
The Office of Annual Giving congratulates the Class of 2012 on their accomplishments during the past
few years and applauds them for leaving a legacy which represents their individuality, uniqueness and, most
importantly, passions through the senior class gift campaign.
As you transition from student to alumnus, we hope you continue to be engaged with the University
of Delaware by attending campus and regional events and networking with over 154,000 Blue Hens
worldwide. Regardless of our affinities, Blue Hens give back.
This year, 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 and took advantage of the opportunity to
double their impact through the Whitney Match, sponsored by UD alumnus and member of the Board of
Trustees Ken Whitney ’80 BE. From colleges and departments to athletics and student activities, numerous
areas around campus will benefit from the generosity of our most recent graduates. To view the results of
the Whitney Match and a list of those who have shown their support, visit www.udel.edu/seniors.
We also give special thanks to the leaders of the 2012 Senior Class Gift Council for their hard work and
dedication to this important initiative: Kevin Collins (Co-Chair), Christopher McElwee (Co-Chair),
Melanie Bugher, Andrew Collins, Thomas Coughlan, Ralph Elefante, Kimberly Hume, Craig Parker,
Derek Skrainar, Danielle Smithers and Molly Sullivan.

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.
