DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD: GYO OBATA World-renowned architect Gyo Obata co-founded Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum (HOK), the largest United States-based architecture/engineering firm, in 1955. His architectural mastery has led to an illustrious career that has achieved him local, regional and national prominence. In the early 1960’s, Obata was commissioned to design the new Southern Illinois University Edwardsville campus. Using a blank slate of more than 2,600 acres, he conceived the idea of a centralized campus, likened to a small college square, with all facilities located within a circle. He designed each of the buildings to have three stories plus a basement, with flat roofs and maroon brick. Guided by his architectural design philosophy of understanding a client’s needs and finding functional solutions, Obata created the master plan that remains the foundation of SIUE development. After 60 years in business, HOK’s values of sustainability, technical advancement, creativity and practical innovation stand out from other architectural firms. HOK’s architectural designs are fixtures in the St. Louis area, including the Planetarium at the St. Louis Science Center, the St. Louis Zoo’s Living World and Children’s Zoo, the St. Louis Abby Church’s Priory Chapel, St. Louis Union Station and the Boeing Leadership Center. Obata’s national projects include: Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, National Air and Space Museum, and the Great American Tower at Queen City Square. Numerous honors have celebrated Obata’s career, including induction as a Fellow in the American Institute of Architects in 1969, recipient of the American Institute of Architects St. Louis Gold Award Honor in 2002, induction into the St. Louis Walk of Fame in 1992, and recipient of an SIUE Honorary Degree in 1999. The Japanese American National Museum gave its lifetime achievement award to Obata in 2004.

7 DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD: JOHNETTA RANDOLPH HALEY Ask anyone who has worked with Johnetta Randolph Haley to describe her, and the reply will most often be, “She’s committed.” Committed to making her community better, to preparing students to become productive citizens of society and to always strive for excellence.

That approach guided Haley during her more than two decades of service to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. After earning a Master of Music at SIUE in 1972, she joined the department as an assistant professor of music. A decade later, she moved into administration, overseeing the University’s East St. Louis Center, which provided educational and social services. Haley’s vision was to fully integrate the campus into the total University community and ensure that it delivered a comprehensive support system to all residents, from infants to senior citizens.

To accomplish that, she enhanced academic programs, established or expanded initiatives, and strengthened ties with the Edwardsville campus. Under Haley’s leadership, the Center launched an award-winning Head Start/Early Head Start program that has become one of the largest in the country. She and University administrators partnered with the University of Missouri-St. Louis to open an eye clinic. Dental services were provided through SIU School of Dental Medicine. Haley also secured funding for several programs to benefit minority students, including an Upward Bound Science Awareness Program. She also oversaw the development of educational programs targeted to area children in protective custody.

In recognition of Haley’s commitment, SIUE renamed its state-funded program for minority students the Johnetta Haley Scholars Academy. The program awards more than 100 scholarships annually.

In 1993, the University’s Department of Music named Haley, who had reached full professor rank nine years earlier, Professor Emerita.

Haley says she was motivated by a sense of duty she learned from her mother, who was also an educator, and her father, who was a minister. “You’re put on this earth to do something good for people,” she said. At 94, she wonders daily, “What have I accomplished today?”

In addition to her career at SIUE, Haley is a member of and has served in national positions with The Links, Inc.; has served on numerous boards, including the American Red Cross, the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges and the St. Louis Metropolitan YWCA. She was the first woman to become president of the Board of Curators at her alma mater, Lincoln University (Jefferson City, Mo.); was an 18-year board member of Stillman College in Tuscaloosa, Ala.; and has held national leadership positions within her sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., of which she is a Golden Life Member. Haley is the proud mother of Karen Douglas and Michael Haley (deceased) and grandmother of Johnathan Douglas.

32 * cum laude ** magna cum laude *** summa cum laude H Honors Scholars 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 web site, 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., Thursday, April 20, 2017. A final version with full records will be available the week following the ceremonies at siue.edu/commencement.
