Garcia 99L, Alumni Presentation of the Marion Luther Brittain Service Award This award, symbolic of all honors bestowed on students by the university, is an expression of gratitude for service performed without expectation of reward or recognition. The award was established at Emory in 1942 through a bequest from a distinguished Emory alumnus, former President Brittain of the Georgia Institute of Technology. Evan Clayton Dunn 10OX 12C Evan Clayton Dunn, a senior in Emory College of Arts and Sciences, is the 2012 Marion Luther Brittain Award winner. Dunn is a candidate for a bachelor of arts in both political science and history. Dunn began his studies at Oxford College and spent more than nine hundred hours volunteering with Hands on Newton, the International Rescue Committee, the Peer Assistant Leader program, and the Bonner Leader Program. He received the Sammy Clark Scholarship for Community Service and the Virgil Eady Sophomore Service Award for his extraordinary commitment to leadership and service. After transitioning to the Atlanta campus, Dunn began working with Volunteer Emory, serving as an orientation leader, and starting a GED tutoring program in Clarkston, Georgia. Dunn also developed a particular interest in reforming the Emory College Honor Council. He became president of Academic Reforms and chair of the Committee for Academic Integrity. He was instrumental in adding a faculty vote in the revised Honor Council process and was awarded the Lancaster Honor Council Academic Integrity Award. In recognition of his many accomplishments, Dunn was selected to be a member of both the 100 Senior Honorary Class of 2012 and Who’s Who Among American Colleges and Universities. Presentation of the University Scholar/Teacher Award Chosen by the university president from nominations by the deans on behalf of the United Methodist Church Board of Higher Education and Ministry. Sarah B. Freeman Betty Tigner Turner Clinical Professor of Nursing Affiliate Faculty, Emory University Center for Ethics 4 Emory University Commencement 2012 As a nurse practitioner for more than thirty-five years and a nationally recognized expert in women’s health and chronic disease management, Sarah Freeman has had a powerful and lasting impact on her field. She is a prolific researcher and writer; serves on editorial boards of leading nursing journals; sits on the boards of national organizations, such as the National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women’s Health (NPWH); and has been elected as a fellow of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and to Who’s Who in American Nursing. Currently, Freeman is the director of both the Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner Program and the combined Women’s Health and Adult Health Nurse Practitioner Program at the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing. Furthermore, she teaches bioethics in both the MSN and PhD programs at Emory. Throughout her career, Freeman has been a tireless advocate for nurse practitioner education. She has been extensively involved in the development of innovative strategies for training nurse practitioners, and she was a central figure in the establishment of criteria for accreditation of the women’s health nurse practitioner programs. In addition to garnering national acclaim for her leadership, Freeman has been recognized for her outstanding contributions as an instructor and mentor. On the national level, she was awarded the School of Nursing’s “Nurse Practitioner of the Year in Education and Research” in 1991 and the Wysocki National Leadership Award in Women’s Health in 2007. At Emory, Freeman has been recognized in a variety of ways: as the Teaching Scholar for the School of Nursing in 1996–1997, as a fellow in the Woodruff Leadership Academy of Emory’s Health Sciences Center in 2005, as a recipient of the Emory Williams Distinguished Teaching Award in 2008, and most recently as a Distinguished Teaching Scholar in Nursing by the Center for Faculty Development and Excellence in 2009–2010. Freeman received a BS in nursing from Georgia State University; she received a master’s degree in community health nursing and completed the family nurse practitioner program of Arizona State University; and she received a PhD in education from Georgia State University. Her commitment to excellence— as an educator, a clinician, and a researcher—makes her a superb candidate to receive this award. Presentation of the Thomas Jefferson Award Awarded each year to a faculty member or administrative officer for significant service to the university through personal activities, influence, and leadership. Peggy Barlett Goodrich C. White Professor of Anthropology Faculty Liaison to the Office of Sustainability Initiatives Professor Peggy Barlett began her academic career in the field—literally. While working on a BA in anthropology at Grinnell College, she embarked on an undergraduate research project with peasant farmers in Costa Rica. Later, her doctoral research at Columbia University took her back to Costa Rica; subsequent projects led her to Ecuador and, eventually, to rural Georgia. Her career has been defined by an abiding interest in farmer decision making, rural social change, agricultural systems, and sustainable development. Her most recent professional projects have occurred much closer to home. In 1999, Barlett’s work underwent a major shift as she moved from examining agrarian change through conventional research, and turned her focus towards “Emory as a hands-on arena of cultural transformation.” She became an essential voice for sustainability efforts on campus and served as the founding coordinator of the Ad Hoc Committee on Environmental Stewardship. Over the years, Barlett has dedicated herself to expanding awareness of environmental issues through curriculum development (e.g., the Piedmont Project), campus policies, and community building. Focusing her interests in local food systems, she continues to serve as the chair of the Sustainable Food Committee, administered through the Office of Sustainability Initiatives at Emory (an office largely created in response to her environmental leadership). Outside Emory, Barlett is involved in a local watershed alliance and the Atlanta Local Food Initiative. Barlett has published several books reflecting her anthropological work, including Agricultural Choice and Change: Decision Making in a Costa Rican Community and American Dreams, Rural Realities: Family Farms in Crisis, and she has served as editor of Agricultural Decision Making: Anthropological Contributions to Rural Development. She is also the coeditor (with Geoffrey Chase) of Sustainability on Campus: Stories and Strategies for Change and is editor of Urban Place: Reconnecting with the Natural World. The university’s reputation as a national leader in campus sustainability is a direct result of Barlett’s persistence, commitment, and hard work. Through her expertise as an anthropologist and her passion for place-based pedagogy, Barlett has helped to transform Emory, and in doing so, has made major contributions to higher education and the world we inhabit. ,. The following awards will be presented during the diploma ceremony at the school of each recipient. The Emory Williams Awards for Distinguished Teaching The university’s oldest awards for teaching were established in 1972 by alumnus Emory Williams 32C. Awards in the arts and sciences are determined by a committee of Emory College faculty. Goizueta Business School, Oxford College, and Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing each present an award for excellence in undergraduate teaching. One other award rotates among the professional schools. Louise Pratt Professor of Classics Emory College of Arts and Sciences Rex D.

In 1975, together with her husband James V. Hatch, Billops founded the renowned Hatch-Billops Collection, an archive of African American cultural materials that they have donated to the Robert W. Woodruff Library at Emory. This collection includes interviews with nearly fourteen hundred minority artists of all disciplines. Billops and Hatch have published 473 of these artists’ lives and descriptions of their work in thirty annual volumes of Artist and Influence. In conjunction with Randall Burkett, the curator of African American collections at Emory, they have established an endowment fund to assure that the collection will continue to grow in the future. Billops has exhibited her art throughout the world. She wrote and published The Harlem Book of the Dead, featuring the poetry of Owen Dodson and the photography of James Van Der Zee, with an introduction by Toni Morrison. Billops earned a BA from California State University and an MFA from City College of New York. She has received grants from the New York State Council on the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Rockefeller Fellowship in Filmmaking, and the Skowhegan Award for contribution in the arts. Billops, with her husband, has produced and directed six documentary films, including Suzanne Suzanne, chosen by the Museum of Modern Art for its New Directors Series in 1983; Finding Christa, winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance Film Festival in 1992; and A String of Pearls, chosen “premiere” film for the Planet Africa series at the Toronto Film Festival in 2002. Ms. Billops will be presented by Dean of Emory College of Arts and Sciences Robin Forman. James V. Hatch Writer and Professor Emeritus, Graduate Theatre Program, City University of New York Doctor of Letters, honoris causa James Hatch is the author of several books on African American theatre, including Black Theatre USA (coedited with Ted Shine) and the prize-winning biography Sorrow Is the Only Faithful One: The Life of Owen Dodson, which won the Barnard Hewett Award for “outstanding book in theatre history.” He has a PhD in theatre from the University of Iowa. His recognitions include the Skowhegan Award (with his wife, Camille Billops) for contributions to the arts, the Winona Fletcher Award for Outstanding Achievement in Black Theatre, the Life Achievement Award from the Association for Theatre in Higher Education, an Obie Award for the Civil Rights musical Fly Blackbird, and a second Obie for his contributions to offBroadway theatre. Hatch and Errol G. Hill co-wrote A History of African American Theatre, a book that the American Society for Theatre Research designated as the “outstanding book in theatre history in 2004.” 6 Emory University Commencement 2012 Together with Camille Billops, Hatch established the HatchBillops Collection of African American cultural materials, which they have donated to the Robert W. Woodruff Library at Emory. Dr. Hatch will be presented by Dean of Emory College of Arts and Sciences Robin Forman. Catharine R. Stimpson University Professor and Dean Emerita of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, New York University Doctor of Letters, honoris causa Catharine R. Stimpson is a leader in the advancement of graduate education. Widely known as a scholar of gender studies and feminist theory, she is the author of many works, including the novel Class Notes and a collection of essays, Where the Meanings Are: Feminism and Cultural Spaces. She has edited seven books and has written numerous essays, stories, and reviews for publications ranging from the New York Times Book Review to Critical Inquiry and the Nation, among others. Now the editor of a book series for the University of Chicago Press, she was the founding editor of Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, an important journal in the field of gender studies. She served as chair of the New York State Humanities Council, the National Council for Research on Women, and the National Advisory Committee of the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. She has also served as president of the Modern Language Association and has lectured widely. She received an AB in English from Bryn Mawr College before going on to obtain a BA and MA from Cambridge University and a PhD with distinction from Columbia University. She has been awarded Fulbright and Rockefeller Humanities Fellowships. In 2011 she was awarded the Francis A. March Award for Distinguished Service to the Profession from the Modern Language Association. Prior to her 1997 appointment as dean of New York University’s Graduate School of Arts and Science, she was the director of the Fellows Program of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. An academic leader focused on shaping graduate education and the student experience, Stimpson has visited Emory several times as a scholar and lecturer. Dr. Stimpson will be presented by Dean of the James T. Laney School of Graduate Studies Lisa A. Tedesco. Muhammad Yunus Chairman, Yunus Centre Doctor of Letters, honoris causa Muhammad Yunus established the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh in 1983, spurred by a vision for lifting people out of poverty. His objective was to create a new category of banking that would grant millions of small loans to poor people with no collateral. This endeavor helped to establish the microcredit movement across the developing world, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2006. That year, Yunus established the Yunus Centre as an economic policy resource center to disseminate his philosophy and practices. From Yunus’s personal loan of small amounts of money to destitute basket weavers in Bangladesh in the mid-1970s, the Grameen Bank has advanced to the fore of a burgeoning world movement toward eradicating poverty through microlending. Replicas of the Grameen Bank model operate in more than one hundred countries worldwide. Born in 1940 in the seaport city of Chittagong, Yunus studied at Dhaka University in what was then East Pakistan, now Bangladesh. He received a Fulbright scholarship to study economics at Vanderbilt University, where he received a PhD in economics in 1969. The following year he became an assistant professor of economics at Middle Tennessee State University. Returning to Bangladesh after it achieved independence in 1971, Yunus headed the economics department at Chittagong University. Yunus has been a member of the International Advisory Group for the Fourth World Conference on Women, a post to which he was appointed by the United Nations secretary general, and he has served on the Global Commission of Women’s Health, the Advisory Council for Sustainable Economic Development, and the United Nations Expert Group on Women and Finance. Yunus is the recipient of numerous international awards for his ideas and endeavors, including the Nobel Peace Prize. He is a member of the board of the United Nations Foundation. Dr. Yunus will be presented by Dean of Goizueta Business School Lawrence M. Benveniste. Benjamin S. Carson Sr. Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery, The Johns Hopkins University Children’s Center Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa Benjamin S. Carson Sr. had a childhood dream of becoming a physician, but he grew up facing challenges of poverty, poor schools, and low self-esteem. His mother, though lacking a high school diploma herself, instilled in her sons a striving for excellence and a determination to learn. Carson persevered and was admitted to Yale University, where he majored in psychology before going on to graduate from the University of Michigan School of Medicine. He completed both his internship in general surgery and residency in neurological surgery at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Today he is a full professor of neurosurgery, oncology, plastic surgery, and pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and he has directed pediatric neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center for more than a quarter of a century. In May 2008 he became the inaugural recipient of a professorship dedicated in his name, and he is now the Benjamin S. Carson Sr., MD, and Dr. Evelyn Spiro, RN, Professor of Pediatric Neurosurgery. His achievements include the first separation of craniopagus twins conjoined at the back of the head, the first completely successful separation of type-2 vertical craniopagus twins, and the first successful placement of an intrauterine shunt for a hydrocephalic twin. He is the author of five books including the recently published America the Beautiful: Rediscovering What Made This Nation Great. He is a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society, the Horatio Alger Society of Distinguished Americans, and many other prestigious organizations. He sits on the board of directors of numerous organizations, and he is an Emeritus Fellow of the Yale Corporation, the governing body of Yale University. He was appointed in 2004 by President George W. Bush to serve on the President’s Council on Bioethics. In 2001, Carson was named by CNN and Time magazine as one of the nation’s twenty foremost physicians and scientists. That same year, he was selected by the Library of Congress as one of eighty-nine “Living Legends” on the occasion of its two hundredth anniversary. He is the recipient of the 2006 Spingarn Medal, the highest honor bestowed by the NAACP. In June 2008, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George W. Bush. Dr. Carson will be presented by Dean of the School of Medicine Thomas J. Lawley. Diploma Ceremonies Fair Weather Diplomas will be awarded in individual ceremonies after this university celebration.

Chartered in 1836 in Oxford, Georgia, the college was named after John Emory (1789–1835), bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1964 the college at Oxford was named Oxford College of Emory University. Emory College became Emory University by virtue of a charter granted by the Superior Court of DeKalb County on January 25, 1915. Although classes on the Atlanta campus were begun in the schools of law and theology as early as 1916, the college did not move to Atlanta until 1919. The university now includes nine schools, most tracing their origins to years before the chartering of the university itself. These schools are Emory College and Oxford College (1836), the School of Medicine (1854), Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing (1905), Candler School of Theology (1914), the School of Law (1916), Roberto C. Goizueta Business School (1919), the James T. Laney School of Graduate Studies (1919), and Rollins School of Public Health (1990). The intent of the founders is perpetuated by the university’s vision statement: A destination university internationally recognized as an inquiry-driven, ethically engaged, and diverse community, whose members work collaboratively for positive transformation in the world through courageous leadership in teaching, research, scholarship, health care, and social action. A Short History on Commencement at Emory This is Emory’s 167th commencement. The exercises witnessed today represent an imposition of medieval academic tradition on an institution that had its roots in the nineteenth-century frontier. The first Emory commencement was held in 1840, four years after Emory College had been chartered and two years after the college’s first classes. That first ceremony, however, was without graduating students, as there were no graduates until the following year. Then, as now, sermons and addresses had a central focus in the exercises, though rarely have these addresses been so crucial as in 1849, when all fifteen members of the graduating class were assigned speaking places and spoke for as long as half an hour each. Early commencement audiences sat for up to four hours in the midsummer heat to listen to the numerous student and faculty orations on such topics as “Our Government Unfavorable to High Attainment in Literature,” “Social Equality,” and “Modern Refinements.” These addresses in the early days were in English, contrary to the practice at many other institutions. As President A. B. Longstreet argued in 1842, speeches in Latin and Greek were “worthy of the name pedantry, and nothing more.” In spite of this advice, several later generations of students instructed their audiences in the ancient tongues. *graduated august 2011 *graduated december 2011 * Academic Dress and Customs Academic dress goes back to the founding of European universities, which were the products of the intellectual revival of the twelfth century. All medieval students were clerks and consequently wore the dress of clergy. This is the academic costume we wear today, with certain changes introduced in the sixteenth century by Protestant reformers. The oldest articles of academic wear were the robe, over which was worn the habit, usually a kind of tunic with short, wide sleeves. The medieval hood was lined with fur or inexpensive skins and could be gathered around the neck or pulled up on the head as a turban. There were four kinds of caps: the round cap, reserved for doctoral dignity; the tena, a round cap with strings tied under the chin, worn by jurists; the square cap; and the Tudor bonnet. At Oxford University in 1565 the square cap became the norm, but the faculties that had become laicized adopted the Tudor bonnet. This is still worn by doctors of law, medicine, and music. It is uncertain when different colors became associated with different degrees. The basic design of all academic costume in the United States was first established in 1895 and was first used at Emory by the Class of 1902. The bachelor’s gown is without ornamentation and has long, pointed, open sleeves. The master’s gown has longer sleeves, which are closed at the bottom with openings about midway for the hands. The doctor’s gown has full-length lapels of velvet and bell-shaped sleeves with three horizontal velvet bars. Tassels for bachelors and masters are black; tassels of gold thread may be worn by doctors. Gowns and caps are usually black, although Emory and some other schools have specified that their doctors may wear gowns of distinctive colors. Yale’s deep blue doctoral gown, Harvard’s crimson, Columbia’s dark blue, and Emory’s blue and gold are a few that may be seen in the procession. The hood varies for the respective degrees, the doctor’s hood being longer and fuller than the others. The field of study can be determined from the velvet facing on the hood according to the following color scheme: white, the arts; goldyellow, science; purple, law; apricot, nursing; green, medicine; scarlet, theology; salmon, public health; and dark blue, doctors of philosophy. The hood is lined with silk in the colors of the degree-granting institution. For Emory graduates the lining is blue with a chevron of gold. The president of Emory University wears a badge of office given to the university in 1965 by the Emory chapter, Gamma of Georgia, of Phi Beta Kappa. Designed by Eric Clements of Birmingham, England, and executed by the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths in London, the solid gold badge is an open teardrop enclosing the raised seal of the university and is suspended on a gold chain. Emory University Commencement 2012 49 A Commentary on Commencement The chief marshal and fourteen deputy marshals lead the academic procession. The faculty marshals and the secretary of the university jointly manage the forming of the procession, the seating of commencement participants, and the planning of other aspects of commencement exercises. Marshals are identified by their unique blue tunics, which are sleeveless and lined with gold. The Quadrangle stage with blue canopy was named the University Marshals’ Stage in honor of the dedication and service provided by Emory’s chief marshals throughout history. The university mace is carried in the procession by the immediate past president of the Student Government Association. Academically the mace is the symbol of a university as a corporate body of scholars possessing its own jurisdiction and its own legally constituted authority. Traditionally the mace is borne in procession immediately before the chief officer of a university and is placed before him or her during formal academic ceremonies. The mace of Emory University, a gift from D.V.S., an Emory College senior honor society, was designed by Eric Clements and executed in silver and gold by the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. In the teardrop at the apex of the mace, against a background of oxidized silver, is a freestanding representation in gold of a human skeleton. This is Dooley, the “spirit” of Emory, who traditionally “rises” once each fall and for a week rules campus. Immediately below the skeleton, in an open teardrop, is a gold sphere divided (by stippling) into eight segments. Topping the sphere is a simple cross, symbolizing the relationship of Emory University to the Methodist church. The seal of the university is sculptured in gold within the circular base. Before each school in the procession, the school’s student marshal carries its gonfalon, a banner in the color associated with the respective school’s degree: medicine, green; public health, salmon; nursing, apricot; theology, scarlet; law, purple; and business, khaki. The gonfalon of the graduate school is gold representing Emory’s gold, and the gonfalons of Emory College and Oxford College represent Emory’s blue. Emory Alumni Legacy Medallion Graduating students who have a parent, grandparent, and/or sibling who is also an Emory graduate are wearing specially commissioned medallions hanging from blue and gold ribbons. The medallions are expressions of the university’s gratitude to those families who have chosen to continue the Emory education tradition throughout the generations. 50 Emory University Commencement 2012 The Commencement Setting Spectators on the Quadrangle are seated facing Pitts Theology Library, one of the two oldest buildings on the Atlanta campus. Designed by the distinguished Pittsburgh architect Henry Hornbostel (1867–1961), Pitts Theology Library was the original theology building in 1916. It was renovated in 1975 by architect Paul Rudolph to house the expanded library collection of Candler School of Theology. Directly behind the spectators are Carlos Hall, the other original campus building, and the expanded Michael C. Carlos Museum. Formerly home to the School of Law, Carlos Hall was renovated in 1986 according to a design by Michael Graves to house the museum and the Department of Art History. The museum is named for the philanthropist who donated most of the cost of the facility. It was designed to maintain the classic symmetry and proportion of the surrounding buildings, which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Bowden Hall, east of the museum, was constructed in 1951 in the same style as the original campus buildings. Originally the History Building, it was renamed in 1991 in honor of the late Henry L. Bowden, former chair of the Board of Trustees of Emory University. To the southeast of Bowden Hall is the Center for Library and Information Resources. The center joins the tall, red-tile-crowned Robert W. Woodruff Library and is linked to the Asa Griggs Candler Memorial Library at the east end of the Quadrangle. Candler Library was dedicated in 1926 in honor of the man who donated the land for the campus and who provided the university with strong leadership in its early years. Next to Pitts Library is the Loula Walker and Ely Reeves Callaway Sr. Memorial Center. Thanks to a generous gift from alumnus Ely R. Callaway Jr. in honor of his parents, this center joins the former Humanities Building with the original Physics Building, which was constructed in 1919. At the west end of the Quadrangle is the Administration Building (1955), a gift of Charles Howard Candler. Like his father, Asa, Charles chaired the Board of Trustees for many years. Between the Administration Building and Pitts Library sits the more modern White Hall, the main classroom building of Emory College. Above the trees of the north side of the Quadrangle are the curved red roof of the William R. Cannon Chapel—designed by Paul Rudolph and dedicated in 1981—and the towers of Emory University Hospital to the east. *graduated august 2011 ** graduated december 2011 *graduated august 2011 *graduated december 2011 * Emory University Commencement 2012 51 PARKING & 52 Emory University Commencement 2012 *graduated august 2011 ** graduated december 2011
