At Alma, where he was a Barlow Trophy finalist, he edited the Pine River literary journal and worked on The Almanian for four years. He received his M.F.A. in creative writing from Bowling Green State University, and has spent the last 40 years teaching at Carnegie Mellon University as the Thomas Stockham Baker University Professor of English. At Carnegie Mellon, he received the Ryan Award for Excellence in Teaching, the Elliott Dunlap Smith Award for Teaching and Educational Service, the Mark Gelfand Service Award for Educational Outreach, and the Faculty Service Award from the Alumni Association. This summer, he joins the faculty of Alma College’s first graduate program, a low-residency M.F.A. in creative writing. His most recent books include Gun/Shy, poetry; RESPECT: The Poetry of Detroit Music, antholo- gy; and The Perp Walk, fiction. Overall, he has authored 30 collections of poetry, six collections of fiction, four produced screenplays, and edited or coedited six anthologies. He is a recipient of two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and two from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. His books have won four Michigan Notable Book Awards, the Brittingham Prize for Poetry, the Blue Lynx Prize for Poetry, the Tillie Olsen Creative Writing Award, the Milton Kessler Award, and three Gold Medals in the Independent Publisher Book Awards, among oth- ers, and his films have won numerous awards in film festivals around the world. He has read his poetry on Garrison Keillor’s “Prairie Home Companion,” and his poems have been frequently fea- tured on Keillor’s “Writer's Almanac.” Poet laureates Billy Collins, Ted Kooser and Tracy K. Smith have all showcased his writing as part of their work to bring poetry to average Americans — in Collins’ Poetry 180 anthologies, Kooser’s American Life in Poetry series, and on Smith’s poetry podcast, The Slowdown. During his long career, he has warmed up for singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams at the Three Rivers Arts Festival, had his poem “Factory Love” displayed on a race car, and is sending poetry to the moon with the Moon Arts Project. A native of Detroit, he currently lives in Pittsburgh. HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT Julius C. Chatman ’28 Julius Chatman was the first Black student to attend Alma College. Originally a standout track athlete at Detroit Northwestern High School, in 1924 he was recruited by college officials to play on the Alma football team. During Mr. Chatman’s time at Alma, the team won two Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association championships, in 1926-27. Mr. Chatman was considered by many to have been one of the fastest football players in the state and was named to the All-MIAA team for his play on both offense and defense. Although he experienced success in athletics, Mr. Chatman faced hardships in the classroom, ultimately causing him to leave the college before completing his degree. He went on to become a small business owner in the St. Louis, Michigan, area, before passing away in 1983. Mr. Chatman will posthumously receive the honorary Doctor of Letters degree during today’s commencement ceremony. 3 ACADEMIC GOWN HISTORY The custom of wearing academic gowns, caps and hoods dates back to about the 12th century. It probably began in France where the wearing of the cap and gown marked the formal admission of the “Licentiate” to the body of Masters. The cold buildings of medieval times, in which the masters taught, required robes and hoods, patterned after the prevailing dress. Since a large number of the scholars were clerics, the garb resembled the appearance of monks’ dress. The hoods were fashioned after the monks’ cowls and were attached to the gowns so that they might be drawn over the head. Later the hood was displaced by the skull cap. The skull cap evolved into a pointed cap which is evidenced today in the mortarboard with its tassel worn on the left side; the tassel may be gold if the wearer has a doctor’s degree. A great variety of styles and usages soon emerged. For uniformity, an Intercollegiate Code for Academic Costumes was adopted in 1895 by practically all of the leading institutions of learning. The code calls for three types of gowns. The bachelor’s gown, designed to be worn closed, has pointed sleeves; the master’s gown, which may be worn open or closed, has an oblong open sleeve. The doctor’s gown with bell-shaped sleeves may be worn open or closed. The color of the gown may be established by the university; otherwise it is black. Bachelor’s and master’s gowns are untrimmed. Doctor’s gowns are faced with black velvet and have three bars across the sleeves. The color of the velvet may represent the degree matching the edging of the hood. The hoods, differing in length for the three degrees — bachelor’s, master’s and doctor’s — are lined with the official colors of the university or college conferring the degree, usually with one color forming a chevron pattern over the other. Hoods are edged and bound with velvet of the color appropriate for the degree.

    Art Exhibitions MSU College of Law We are pleased to present three exhibitions by Charlee Brodsky (photographs) and Jim Daniels (poetry) The Rocks 3rd floor gallery American Patriot 4th floor gallery atrium From Milltown to Malltown 4th floor elevator area January 7, 2017 - May 2017 Meet & Greet Charlee and Jim Wednesday, February 22, 2017, starting at 6pm Poetry Reading at 7pm Castle Board Room Charlee Brodsky, a fine art documentary photographer and a professor of photography at Carnegie Mellon University, describes her work as dealing with social issues and beauty. Her book, I Thought I Could Fly... Portraits of Anguish, Compulsion, and Despair (2008) is a collection of her photographs and personal narratives by people living with mental disorders. Her book, Street (2005) is a collection of her photographs and Jim Daniels’ poems. In 2003, the University of Pittsburgh Press published Knowing Stephanie, a book about Stephanie Byram's life with breast cancer featuring Brodsky’s photographs. Brodsky also photographed the former steel town of Homestead, Pennsylvania and, together with anthropologist Judith Modell, this project resulted in A Town Without Steel, Envisioning Homestead (2008 University of Pittsburgh Press). Brodsky has also curated exhibitions dealing with the history of photography in Western Pennsylvania culminating in a book and exhibition at the Carnegie Museum of Art (1997) titled Pittsburgh Revealed curated with Linda Benedict-Jones. Brodsky’s continuing interest in Homestead and working with poets Jane McCafferty and Jim Daniels, resulted in Milltown to Malltown – a Western Pennsylvania community that evolved from its steel mill town where blast furnaces once stood to a town with a mall.
