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. soledad o’brien 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.

Warner and Alexander J. Taylor Sr. Award Recipients 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. A. Gilchrist Sparks III May 26, 2012 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. v 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. A. Gilchrist Sparks III May 26, 2012 vi 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. A. Gilchrist Sparks III May 26, 2012 vii 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. A.

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. xii 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. xiii Directions from delaware stadium to all saturday, may 26 Convocations except the tent on The Green heading north on south college avenue heading east on rt. 4 Trabant University Center, Bayard Sharp Hall, Munroe Hall Continue on South College Avenue to Main Street.
