GIG University 18TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE Hosted by The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga October 13-16, 2012 at the Chattanoogan Hotel Working Together Works 1 WELCOME Dear Higher Education Colleagues, We at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga are honored to welcome you to the 18th Annual CUMU Conference. Anyone familiar with the story of Chattanoo- ga’s renaissance from “the dirtiest city in America” to what Outside magazine called the “Best Town Ever” and the accompanying renaissance of the University knows that we speak from experience when we say, “Working Together Works: Partnering for Progress.” That’s why this is the perfect theme for this year’s conference. The partnership between our community and our campus demonstrates perfectly the synergy and success that result from effective partnerships, and we believe par- ticipants in the conference will gain valuable insight into translating Chattanooga’s success for their own communities. Chattanooga offers a perfect setting to discuss how shared visioning, strategic plan- l-r: Dr. Grady Bogue and Dr. Roger Brown ning, and community planning come together to create a sustainable, vibrant, and progressive city in which to work, live, play, and learn. During the conference, we guarantee you a behind-the-scenes view through candid panel discussions, tours, and insightful presentations on what it takes to create a suc- cessful city and what role a university must play in the process. We hope you find the speakers, presentations, and panel discussions as well as special events planned before and during the conference to be informative and engaging. CUMU’s 18th Annual Conference promises a rich opportunity for leaders from urban and higher education circles to share strategies and successes, and we guarantee you will not be disappointed by your visit to our wonderful city. We hope you enjoy your visit to Chattanooga!

  • 2020 Commencement Program
    COMMENCEMENT Saturday, May 23, 2020 20 20 Tradition and Renewal Tradition holds that for untold generations, Tanana Athabascans used the ridge the Fairbanks campus is built on, Troth Yeddha’, to pick wild potato. It was a meeting place and a place of sustenance, and it is still a place where people work together and find intellectual nourishment. The University of Alaska Fairbanks is proud of the students who have continued this tradition of collaboration and learning. Commencement is a special time for graduates and their families and friends who share this momentous occasion. This ceremony represents an ending, a time of reward for academic endeavor successfully completed. In another sense it is truly a commencement, a beginning, for the learning process is an unending one, to which the years of formal schooling are only a prelude. Along with our graduates, the University of Alaska Fairbanks acknowledges with pride the contributions of those who will receive honorary degrees or meritorious service awards. The university also expresses gratitude to the dedicated faculty and staff who are retiring this year. Each has made a distinct contribution to the quality and reputation of this institution. In today’s 98th commencement ceremony, more than 1,300 graduates will be recognized for their success. We honor you, the Class of 2020, for your achievement today. Congratulations! UA President James R. Johnsen Dear 2020 Graduates, This commencement is not like any other the world has experienced in our lifetime. Although we cannot be together to celebrate your accomplishments in person, in spirit we are all together as a university community honoring your hard work and dedication to pursue the worthwhile goal of a higher education.

As a major sector of society, higher education can play an important leadership role in accelerating U.S. energy independence and freedom from dependence on foreign oil by moving towards a clean energy economy. Higher education has the intellectual capital, moral position, and research capacity to take on such a leadership role. And leading society to such a low carbon and more energy-secure economy fits squarely within its educational, research, and public service missions. Higher education has made a strong commitment to exert this leadership, as exemplified by The American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment. This high-visibility, joint and individual commitment to reduce and eventually neutralize campus greenhouse gas emissions has now been signed by nearly 500 colleges and universities.
