Felker 27 THE OSTEOPATHIC OATH 4 I do hereby affirm my loyalty to the profession I am about to enter. I will be mindful always of my great responsibility to preserve the health and the life of my patients, to retain their confidence and respect both as a physician and a friend who will guard their secrets with scrupulous honor and fidelity, to perform faithfully my professional duties, to employ only those recognized methods of treatment consistent with good judgment and with my skill and ability, keeping in mind always nature’s laws and the body’s inherent capacity for recovery. I will be ever vigilant in aiding in the general welfare of the community, sustaining its laws and institutions, not engaging in those practices which will in any way bring shame or discredit upon myself or my profession. I will give no drugs for deadly purposes to any person, though it be asked of me. I will endeavor to work in accord with my colleagues in a spirit of progressive cooperation, and never by word or by act cast imputations upon them or their rightful practices. I will look with respect and esteem upon all those who have taught me my art. To my college I will be loyal, and strive always for its best interests and for the interests of the students who will come after me. I will be ever alert to further the application of basic biologic truths to the healing arts, and to develop the principles of osteopathy which were first enunciated by Andrew Taylor Still. College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific DO CLASS OF 2015 VISION STATEMENT 4 We, the Class of 2015, in the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific, representing the California and Oregon campuses: • Commit ourselves to our profession by serving our community with integrity, compassion, empathy, and humility. • Devote ourselves to being culturally aware, understanding, and respectful of the diversity within our communities. • Pledge to provide quality health care and education for all people, especially the underserved and underprivileged. • Maintain a positive outlook by keeping sight of the reasons we chose to become physicians. • Recognize the importance of interprofessional teamwork and collaboration to better serve our patients and communities. • Dedicate ourselves to developing and maintaining balance throughout our community, amongst our colleagues, and within our families and personal lives. • Finally, we promise to embody the heritage and philosophy of osteopathic medicine, while simultaneously laying the foundation and revolutionizing the future of health care. 28 UNIVERSITY AWARDS COMMITTEE 4 Beverly A.

THE GOWN — Although it may originally have been worn as protection against unheated medieval buildings, the academic gown today symbolizes the democracy of scholarship because it covers any dress of rank or social standing underneath. It is usually black. THE CAP — When Roman law freed the slave, he won the privilege of wearing a cap. The academic cap is a sign of the freedom and responsibility of scholarship. The color of the tassel is black, with the exception of the doctor’s tassel, which is gold. THE HOOD — The hood is lined with the official color of the college or university. The color of the facing denotes the discipline represented by the degree. Colors associated with different degrees are: Arts, white; Business, drab; Dental Medicine, lilac; Economics, copper; Education, light blue; Engineering, orange; Fine Arts, brown; Hospital Administration, salmon; Journalism, crimson; Law, purple; Medicine, kelly green; Music, pink; Nursing, apricot; Optometry, sea foam; Pharmacy, olive; Philosophy, dark blue; Physical Therapy, sage green; Podiatric Medicine, nile green; Public Administration, peacock blue; Science, golden yellow; Social Service, citron; Theology, scarlet; and Veterinary Medicine, gray. HONORS CORDS — Honors cords are worn to signify academic achievement and/or membership in an honor society. Purple/Gold honors cords are worn by graduates in the top 3% of their class and who have been awarded University Highest Honors. Green/Gold honors cords are worn by graduates in the top 4-10% of the class who have been awarded University Honors. Graduates must also have a cumulative grade point average of 3.75 or above to qualify for University Honors or Highest Honors. Lavender/White cords indicate membership in Phi Alpha, a chapter of the Sigma Theta Tau National Nursing Honor’s Society. Purple/White cords represent membership in Rho Chi, the National Pharmacy Honor Society. Burnished Gold cords designate membership in Sigma Sigma Phi, the National Honorary Osteopathic Service Fraternity. Gold/Silver cords denote membership in Phi Zeta, the National Honor Society of Veterinary Medicine. Green/White cords represent membership in the Alpha Eta Society, the National Honor Society for the Allied Health Professions. Gold cords represent membership in Beta Sigma Kappa, an International Optometric Society. Navy Blue/Silver cords notate membership in the Lambda chapter of Pi Delta, a National Honor Society for Podiatric Medicine. Lilac cords represent membership in Omicron Kappa Upsilon, a National Dental Honor Society. 43 THE UNIVERSITY MACE 4 The University mace is identified with the Office of the President and is carried in academic processions at commencement and convocation ceremonies. The University Marshal has the honor of serving as the macebearer at these events. Historical maces date back to the 13th century, when they were first carried as ceremonial symbols of royal authority at events attended by English kings. The university mace was first used at the charter class graduation of the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific (COMP) in 1982. The mace depicts the university seal, with the torch of knowledge coiled by a single serpent in the fashion of the Rod of Asclepius, set before a range of mountain peaks representing the pinnacle of academic achievement. The crowning ornament is a brass orb. Engraved upon a band encircling the mace shaft are the words: “EDUCATING HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS IN THE OSTEOPATHIC TRADITION.” The founding year of the University’s founding college is also engraved on a band in Roman numerals. The mace is permanently displayed in the President’s office. THE PRESIDENT’S MEDALLION AND COLLAR 4 The President’s medallion is in the form of the University Seal and is made of solid sterling silver with 22-karat gold overlay. The President’s Collar consists of black velvet with gold trim. It serves as a field for six medals that depict memorable milestones and significant aspects of Western University of Health Sciences, including the founding of the original college, the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific (COMP), in September 1977; the graduation of the charter class in June 1982; and the transition of COMP to Western University of Health Sciences in August 1996. Other medals on the President’s Collar include one of WesternU’s slogans, To Teach, To Heal, Together; WesternU’s core values: Caring, Compassion, Scientific Excellence; and a medal commemorating “National Influence and Leadership.” THE FLAGS 4 The 15 flags on stage represent the Western states that the institution was originally established to serve. Since then, WesternU has grown to provide health care education worldwide. Alaska Arizona California Colorado New Mexico North Dakota Oregon South Dakota Hawaii Idaho Montana Nevada 44 Utah Washington Wyoming ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 4 Western University of Health Sciences pays tribute to the parents, spouses and significant others of the Class of 2015 for their support, dedication and sacrifice. Today’s commencement exercises would not have been such a memorable experience for our graduates, families and guests without the hard work and great dedication of the many individuals who diligently worked behind the scenes. Thank you to the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, the University Commencement Committee, WesternU staff who served as commencement assistants, and the departments of University Student Affairs, Special Events, Facilities and Physical Plant, Classroom and Media Services, Public Affairs, Publications, Harris Family Center for Disability and Health Policy, WesternU Bookstore, Eyes and Ears Productions, and a special thanks to the Commencement Detail Team. 45 MEMORIES 4 46 MEMORIES 4 47 MEMORIES 4 48
