6 HONORARY DEGREE: VAUGHN VANDEGRIFT, PhD

Vaughn Vandegrift, PhD, committed 38 years of service to higher education with stops at Illinois State University, , Montclair State University, Georgia Southern University, and finally, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.

As the chancellor of SIUE from 2004-2012, he was a catalyst for change. His vision for SIUE was to be nationally recognized as a premier University for the excellence of its programs, and development of professional and community leaders.

Under his leadership, SIUE experienced significant growth as he spearheaded more than $300 million in infrastructure and building projects, including the construction of a new residence hall, Evergreen Hall; the Science Building Complex; Student Success Center; Lukas Annex; the School of Dental Medicine Laboratory; the School of Pharmacy building; and renovations to the , Engineering Building, and Art and Design Building.

With his focus on the University competing nationally, he transitioned SIUE to NCAA Division I intercollegiate athletics with memberships in the Ohio Valley, Missouri Valley and Southern Conferences.

Academically, Vandegrift led development of several new degree programs, including a master’s program in industrial engineering, doctoral programs in educational leadership and nursing practice, and a dual diploma program with Istanbul Technical University. His also established a University-wide advising plan, organized the Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities program, and developed a new general education plan.

In fall 2011, the chancellor announced that SIUE had attained record enrollment with 14,235 students. This record was surpassed in fall 2015 with the enrollment of 14,265 students. This is a testament that his efforts in promoting SIUE to higher levels of academic excellence are still being felt.

Outside of the University, Vandegrift served the St. Louis metropolitan area through involvement on several boards. He was a member and past president of Leadership Council Southwestern Illinois. Additionally, he served as a member of St. Louis Civic Progress, Innovate St. Louis, St. Louis Regional Chamber, United Way of Greater St. Louis and the Southern Illinois Collegiate Common Market.

Vandegrift has been honored with numerous awards, including the St. Louis Business Journal Influential St. Louisan award (2006-2012); the 2011 Lewis and Clark Council: Boy Scouts of America Distinguished Citizen award; the 2009 Freedom Fund Higher Education Leadership Award; Leadership Council Southwestern Illinois awards in 2007, 2010 and 2012; and the 2012 Edwardsville/Glen Carbon Chamber of Commerce Synergy Award.

7 DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD: SENATOR WILLIAM “BILL” HAINE

William “Bill” Haine is the senator for the Illinois 56th Senate district, which covers most of Madison County, including Alton, Wood River, Edwardsville and part of O’Fallon. Senator Haine has committed his entire adult life to serving the public. In 1967, immediately after receiving his bachelor’s degree from Saint Louis University (SLU), he enlisted in the United States Army. He served until 1969 and earned a Bronze Star for his combat service as a member of the 1st Cavalry Division during the Vietnam War. In 1978, nearly 10 years after his military service ended, and four years after receiving his juris doctor degree from SLU, his career in politics began after he was elected to the Madison County Board. He went on to serve 14 years as Madison County state’s attorney until 2002, when he was elected to the State Senate. Senator Haine has been a champion for issues for working-class families throughout the region, including numerous efforts to bring jobs into his district, rallying for key infrastructure upgrades to the Metro East levee system and Interstate 255, and formally demanding that Congress and the President review the national tariff policy on steel goods when U.S. Steel in Granite City announced it was going to close. The Senator has also been a trailblazer for statewide issues of insurance and criminal law while keeping an eye on the communities he represents. A true advocate of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and other institutions across the state of Illinois, he fought against potential cuts to higher education funding in the Senate. He was one of SIUE’s strongest supporters in the Senate during the state budget crisis. Aside from advocating for the University, he also served on the Dean’s Advisory Board for the SIU School of Dental Medicine. The Senator’s passion for serving both his local community and his country sparked his involvement in several organizations, including the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion Post 204, where he is a past commander; Knights of Columbus; and the Alton Cemetery Board of Trustees. Throughout his career, the Senator has shown a deep commitment to pushing the state forward and stimulating growth throughout the region. Though his term in office is slated to come to a close in January 2019, the impact he has made on this University, our region and the state will be seen well into the future. Senator Haine and his wife, Anna, live in Alton. They have seven children—five daughters and two sons—and 32 grandchildren. TEACHING EXCELLENCE AWARD: SANDRA WEISSINGER, PhD

31 HOODING

Hooding is a special recognition for doctoral candidates during which the Dean of the School of Pharmacy places the doctoral hood upon the shoulders of each graduate, signifying his or her success in completing the pharmacy program. Hooding allows students to share the accomplishment of earning the professional doctorate with family, friends and the School of Pharmacy faculty and staff.

A tradition dating to the Middle Ages, the olive green velvet facing of the hood denotes the wearer’s pharmacy discipline. The red and white color of the lining represents the institution from which the degree was awarded, in this case Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. The velvet tam, rather than the traditional mortarboard cap, is commonly worn by doctorate holders.

5 p.m. C 5 p.m. 36 To Our Guests Commencement is the premier academic ceremony. This formal conferral of degrees marks the graduates’ mastery of SIUE curricula – undergraduate, graduate, doctoral and professional. At its best, it is an occasion of dignity, recognition and celebration. To preserve the decorum of the event, please exercise etiquette appropriate for the occasion and express your excitement in ways that will not prevent others from hearing the speakers and enjoying the ceremony. The University requests that all photographs be taken from your seat or following the ceremony.

For your convenience, we have made arrangements with GradImages™ for a professional photographer to record the moment graduates receive their diploma covers. Students receive by mail a passport‑sized, full‑color image approximately one week after the ceremony. There is no obligation to purchase, and students will have the option of ordering several enlargement packages via website, phone, facsimile or mail. This service enables each student to have a photograph of the ceremony. Family members and friends are requested to remain in their seats and enjoy the ceremony. Professional photographs are available for all students. GradImages™ guarantees complete satisfaction with the photographs or a full refund will be given with no questions asked. The transaction is between the student and the photographer; SIUE will not be involved. Photos will be available to view and order as soon as 48 hours after the ceremony by visiting gradimages.com.

In keeping with the occasion, we ask that all guests stand when the processional begins. After the ceremony has been completed, there will be a recessional of the platform party. Please remain in your seats until the platform party has cleared the Commencement area.

** The Commencement program was printed with accurate graduation records as of 9 a.m., Wednesday, April 25, 2018. A final version with full records will be available the week following the ceremonies at siue.edu/commencement.
