COMMENCEMENT 2014 | 2 Commencement Traditions

THE SEAL The West Virginia University Board of Regents adopted the seal on June 15, 1869. The Regents’ original, handwritten resolution is located in the University Archives at the Wise Library. The Greek motto inscribed in the inner circle translates to: “Add to your faith virtue and to virtue knowledge.” The Latin verse inscribed on the outer circle translates to: “Seal of the West Virginia University. Established 7 February, 1867.” The hills depicted behind Woodburn Circle reflect the institution’s stability, and a rising sun indicates its prosperity.

THE MACE The mace is a symbolic tradition that originated during the Middle Ages. The University Marshal brings this ornamental staff of authority to the platform and taps it three times to signify the beginning of the ceremony. It represents the official authority of the University president and precedes him or her during Commencement and inauguration. Smaller batons are used to signify the designation of authority when the president is not in attendance.

THE REGALIA The history of academic regalia worn today dates to the Middle Ages. The oldest universities of northern Europe evolved from ecclesiastical institutions where both faculty and students were regarded as part of the clergy and dressed in clerical garb. The head covering of modern academic costume was developed from the skullcap worn by the clergy in cold weather to protect their tonsured heads. At universities, this skullcap acquired a point on top, which gradually evolved into a tassel. The bonnet with tassel is still worn by some, but the mortarboard is more common.

The gown worn today evolved from the habit worn by Benedictine monks. No trimming is found on bachelor’s or master’s gowns, but for those holding doctoral degrees, the gown is faced down the front and trimmed on the sleeves with velvet.

Today’s hood is colored according to the scholarly field of the individual and bears the official colors of the institution that conferred the degree.

THE ACADEMIC PROCESSIONAL The sequence of the processional is as follows: members of the platform party, deans, faculty, degree candidates, honored guests, and the University president.

THE MARSHALS The tradition of academic marshals comes from storied English universities. The Grand Marshal is the chief protocol officer who coordinates the ceremonial traditions of Commencement, including the processional and recessional. The Grand Marshal is also responsible for the school’s relics, including the mace and batons. Marshals are typically members of the faculty. Student marshals may be selected to help facilitate individual ceremonies.

COMMENCEMENT 2014 | 3 Congratulations from President Gee

Dear Graduates,

Congratulations on reaching this important milestone in your life’s journey.

Since you arrived at West Virginia University, you have taken on and conquered every challenge that came your way. You navigated through requirements and electives, early morning English classes, and late-night calculus study marathons. You have worked tirelessly for years with this day in mind.

You came here in need of something we possess. You leave here possessing something for which there is a desperate need.

You possess not only facts and figures, but the faith and freedom to seek new answers and to ask new questions. Your task will not be easy, but my confidence in you is full and complete.

In my short time on campus, I have already witnessed your remarkable passion and curiosity, your devotion to ideas, and willingness to take action. With those qualities, and your education, you will go far.

Wherever life takes you, always remember your alma mater.

We will not forget you.

E. Gordon Gee President

STEPHEN P. COONTS Born in Morgantown and raised in Buckhannon, Stephen P. Coonts graduated from West Virginia University in 1968 with an A.B. degree from the College of Arts and Sciences, where he majored in political science, with minors in English, history, and economics.

He immediately went into the United States Navy and was designated a naval aviator in August 1969. He made two combat cruises to Vietnam in the final years of that war flying A-6 Intruders from the deck of USS Enterprise. He left active duty in 1977 and attended the University of Colorado School of Law. He was admitted to the bar in West Virginia and Colorado.

In 1986 his first novel, Flight of the Intruder, was published and spent 28 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. He has been a professional novelist ever since, with 26 books to his credit, 16 of them bestsellers. He is also the coauthor of an additional nine novels. His latest novel is Saucer: Savage Planet. His works have been translated into 26 languages and published around the world.

He and his wife, Deborah Jean Coonts, reside in Colorado.

FRED T. TATTERSALL Fred T. Tattersall graduated with honors from West Virginia University’s College of Business and Economics with a bachelor of science in finance in 1970. He was elected to Beta Gamma Sigma his junior year. He was a senior vice president of what is now Bank of America, and then became a partner at Lowe, Brockenbrough, Tierney and Tattersall, where he began to build an institutional fixed income division.

After a successful spinoff in 1997, which created the Tattersall Advisory Group (TAG), he was the sole proprietor of a registered investment advisor with over $6 billion in assets under management. TAG was sold to First Union Bank in 1999, and Tattersall stayed on as CEO. When Tattersall retired from the company in 2004, the firm was managing over $18 billion in assets.

Tattersall is now chairman of 1607 Capital Partners, a Richmond-based investment management company established in 2007. The firm manages over $2.8 billion in assets, specializing in investing in closed-end funds.

Tattersall has served as the past chair of the Community Foundation serving Richmond and Central Virginia, the University of Richmond Trustee Board as a member of the executive committee and chair of the investment committee, the Virginia Museum Board of Trustees, and the WVU Foundation Board of Directors, where he serves as a member of the executive committee and chairs the investment committee.

Tattersall’s greatest contributions outside of business have been to The First Tee organization, focused on impacting young people by providing educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values, and promote healthy choices through the game of golf. Tattersall serves as a National Trustee and was the founder of the local Richmond chapter, where he has served as president since 1998. He was recently appointed to the national organization’s board of directors.

Fred and his wife, Roddy, have two children and five grandchildren.

Dianne Dubetz Anderson is the first executive director of the Great Lakes Energy Institute at Case Western Reserve University. Since 2008, Anderson has been inspiring faculty to aim their research toward the world’s most pressing energy problems, having herself spent 30 years working in energy. Case Western has quadrupled its level of energy-related research since the launch of the institute.

Anderson previously worked for BP for 25 years and was appointed president, U.S. West of Rockies Fuels, in 2006. Having joined BP in 1983, she progressed through roles in upstream exploration and downstream transportation fuels, natural gas, and electricity. Anderson held several global leadership positions over her career, across the United States and internationally in London and Krakow, Poland. In a variety of strategic and operating roles, Anderson brought clean fuels to market with the enactment of the Clean Air Act and managed natural gas and electric-power regulatory affairs for Canada and the United States.

Anderson graduated magna cum laude from West Virginia University in 1983 with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. She completed senior-executive development programs at Harvard, Cambridge University, and Northwestern University, and was a visiting faculty member in Stanford University’s program on Customer Focused Innovation. Anderson currently serves as a member of the Statler College’s Engineering and Computer Science Enterprise Visiting Committee. She and her husband, Jim, who is also a WVU graduate, live in Cleveland, Ohio.

COMMENCEMENT 2014 | 32 The Justitia Officium Award The WVU College of Law Justitia Officium Award recognizes outstanding contributions and service to the legal profession and is the highest honor the WVU College of Law bestows. Established in 1978, in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the WVU College of Law, the Justitia Officium Award is presented annually. A bronze plaque bearing the recipient’s name and year awarded is mounted in the lobby of the WVU College of Law.

Forest “Jack” Bowman Forest “Jack” Bowman is the Jackson & Kelly Professor of Law Emeritus at the West Virginia University College of Law. He taught at WVU Law for 23 years, retiring in 2002. During his tenure, he was named Professor of the Year by seven graduating classes and University Professor of the Year in 1998. In 1988, he was named Professor of the Year for all of higher education in the state by the Faculty Merit Foundation of West Virginia.

Professor Bowman is a fellow of the American Bar Foundation, an honor bestowed upon only one-third of one percent of all America’s lawyers. He is a member of the first class of fellows inducted in 1999. He is the only three-time recipient of the Certificate of Merit, the highest award the West Virginia State Bar can bestow on one of its members. While on the faculty of the College of Law, he developed a continuing legal education seminar business which took him to 31 states and two Canadian provinces, lecturing lawyers on legal ethics, lawyer malpractice, time management, stress management and professionalism. In 1995, the American Bar Association and the American Law Institute awarded him the Harrison Tweed Award for outstanding contributions to continuing legal education in America.

In 2003, Professor Bowman was inducted into WVU’s Order of Vandalia and, in 2011, he was named the University’s Outstanding Alumnus. He is also a former president of the West Virginia Bar Association and is a past chair of the Board of Visitors of the Salvation Army’s Evangeline Booth College in Atlanta, Georgia. Professor Bowman is a former captain in the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps. After leaving the Army, he served a four-year term as Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army for West Virginia. In 1970, he was named the first full-time executive director of the West Virginia State Bar and, in 1975, he was appointed the first administrative director of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia.

A native West Virginian, Professor Bowman was the first person in his family to attend college. He is a 1960 graduate of West Virginia University, where he served as student body president in 1959-60 and as Summit of Mountain (then the ranking WVU men’s honorary) in 1960-61. He earned his J.D. from the WVU College of Law in 1963 and in 1977 was named a graduate fellow of the Institute for Court Management.

Professor Bowman lives in Morgantown where he continues his work with the law, serving as special ethics counsel to the Pittsburgh-based law firm of Burns White. He is married to the former Myla Woodford of Belington, West Virginia. They have two sons and three grandchildren.

The Honorable O.C. Spaulding The Honorable O.C. “Hobby” Spaulding was Judge for the 29th Judicial Circuit serving Putnam and Mason counties for 19 years. He retired at the end of 2011 due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS.

Judge Spaulding was born in Fairmont and raised in Huntington. He graduated in 1967 from the University of Kentucky with a bachelor’s degree in business. He earned his J.D. from the West Virginia University College of Law in 1973. Before attending WVU Law, Judge Spaulding was a systems engineer at IBM in Baltimore, Maryland. He credits Willard Lorensen, former dean of the College of Law, for setting him on a path in criminal law. In his second semester at WVU Law, at the request of Dean Lorensen, Judge Spaulding worked undercover in organized gambling in Morgantown.

Following graduation, Judge Spaulding established a practice in Hurricane and served as general counsel to the Putnam General Hospital. From 1977 to 1987, he was the full-time prosecuting attorney for Putnam County. He began serving as circuit judge for Putnam and Mason Counties in 1993. Over the course of his career, Judge Spaulding was appointed 14 times to fill in as a justice of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia. A past president of the West Virginia Judicial Association, he served during the year when Governor Manchin appointed a commission to study the selection of state judges.

Judge Spaulding has long valued his role as a mentor to others and was a frequent continuing legal education teacher. He began teaching criminal law to his fellow prosecutors and his activities as a mentor accelerated upon becoming a judge, especially when it came to explaining Supreme Court decisions on criminal cases. Judge Spaulding is also a longtime advocate of recording the entire police interrogation process as a means of minimizing false confessions, ensuring that suspect rights are observed, and using these detailed recordings to aid judges during pre-trial suppression hearings. Judge Spaulding has been generously assisting WVU Law students in the West Virginia Innocence Project to draft legislation to mandate recording of the interrogation process. He sees his work with law students as the capstone to his distinguished legal career.

In January 2014, Judge Spaulding was named the recipient of the Mayo Lester Community Service Award, which recognizes an individual who has demonstrated outstanding community leadership in Putnam County. In 2013, the Putnam County Youth Reporting Center was renamed the O.C. Spaulding Training Center in his honor.

COMMENCEMENT 2014 | 37 Chris Sarandon Chris Sarandon is an American actor who is best known for playing Prince Humperdinck in Rob Reiner’s film,The Princess Bride, as well as the vampire Jerry Dandridge in Fright Night and Detective Mike Norris in the first entry of theChild’s Play series. He provided the speaking voice of Jack Skellington in Tim Burton’s animated Disney film,The Nightmare Before Christmas, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Leon in Dog Day Afternoon.

Sarandon was born and raised in Beckley, West Virginia, the son of restaurateur Chris Sarandon, Sr. and Cliffie. His mother’s parents were Greek immigrants, and his father, whose surname was originally Sarandonethes, was a Greek immigrant as well. He graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in Beckley and went on to West Virginia University, where he earned a bachelor of fine arts degree in speech and drama, graduating magna cum laude. He earned his master’s degree in theater from the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.

After graduation, Sarandon toured with Catholic University’s National Players, playing Shakespeare and Moliere and acting as a lighting designer and truck driver. He worked at an improv company in Washington, D.C., before becoming involved in regional theatre, making his professional debut in The Rose Tattoo in 1965. In 1968, Sarandon moved to New York, where he landed his first television role as Dr. Tom Halverson on The Guiding Light, a role he played until 1973. He then appeared in the primetime television movies The Satan Murders and Thursday’s Game, before landing the role of AI Pacino’s transsexual wife in Dog Day Afternoon, a performance that earned him nominations for Best New Male Star of the Year at the Golden Globes and Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards.

Sarandon appeared in The Rothschilds and The Two Gentlemen of Verona on Broadway, as well making regular appearances at Shakespeare and George Bernard Shaw festivals in the United States and Canada. He also appeared in a series of television roles that mirrored his affinity for the classics and took roles in films opposite the late Margaux Hemingway, both in the 1976 thriller,Lipstick , and as an attorney-turned-demon in the 1977 shocker, The Sentinel.

In the 1980s, Sarandon took on a wide range of roles, including the title role in the made for-television movie, The Day Christ Died, and as Thomas Wolfe in You Can’t Go Home Again. He received accolades for his dual portrayals of Sydney Carton and Charles Darnay in a made-for-television version of A Tale of Two Cities. He then co-starred with Dennis Hopper in The Osterman Weekend, which was based on the Robert Ludlum novel of the same name, and with Goldie Hawn in Protocol. These films were followed by another mainstream success playing the vampire-next-door in the teen horror film, Fright Night.

In 1992, he played the dual roles of Joseph Curwen and Charles Dexter Ward in The Resurrected. He then reprised his role as Jack Skellington in the Capcom sequel to the original film,Oogie’s Revenge, in the Disney/Square video games, Kingdom of Hearts and Kingdom of Hearts II, and in Halloween Screams and the Haunted Mansion Holiday, a three-month overlay of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland.

Sarandon went on to work in television again with a recurring role as Dr. Burke on NBC’s long-running medical drama, ER, and as a recurring character on The Practice. In the 2000’s, he made guest appearances on many television series, notably as the necromancer demon, Armand, in Charmed and as the superior court judge, Barry Krumble, in six episodes of Judging Amy. More recently, he has appeared as a guest star on Law and Order SVU and The Good Wife.

He returned to Broadway in 2006 playing Signor Naccarelli in the six-time Tony award-winning musical, The Light in the Piazza at Lincoln Center. He has recently appeared in Cyrano de Bergerac as Antoine de Guiche, alongside Kevin Kline, Jennifer Garner, and Daniel Sunjata. He is currently directing a play about sexual assault on women that has had a series of readings in New York.

Sarandon met his wife, Joanna Gleason, daughter of Monty Hall, while performing on Broadway in 1991 in the short-lived musical, Nick & Nora. The two married in 1994 and, between them, have four grown children and two grandchildren. They have appeared in a number of films together, includingEdie & Pen, American Perfokt, and Let the Devil Wear Black.

He currently sits on the advisory board for the Greenbrier Valley Theatre in Lewisburg, West Virginia.
