Przirembel Vice President for Research and Economic Development Clayton D. Steadman _____________ General Counsel HONORARY DEGREE JOHN A. ALLISON IV DOCTOR OF HUMANITIES John Allison has a head for business and a heart for humanity. The purpose that drives his life's work and his life's passion is a genuine desire to make a better world for the people of the South, the nation and beyond. As chairman and chief executive officer of BB&T Corporation, Allison leads a financial enterprise that was born in the late 1800s out of love and distress over the state of the people and the times. Notwithstanding the tremendous business success the $100+ billion financial-holding company has enjoyed under Allison, BB&T has never lost sight of its humble beginnings or noble purpose. Allison began his service with BB&T in 1971 and has managed a wide variety of responsibilities throughout the bank. He became president of BB&T in 1987 and was elected chairman and CEO in July 1989. A native of Charlotte, N.C., Allison is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration (1971). He received his master's degree in management from Duke University (1974 ). He is also a graduate of the Stonier Graduate School of Banking at Rutgers University and received honorary doctoral degrees from East Carolina University (1995) and Mount Olive College (2002). Service to his profession, education and community is a hallmark of Allison's life. He is a member of the American Bankers Association and The Financial Services Roundtable. He serves on the Board of Trustees of Appalachian State University, the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center Board of Visitors, and the Board of Visitors at the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University and the Kenan-Flagler Business School at UNC- Chapel Hill. He also is a member of the boards of directors of The Financial Clearing House, Independent College Fund and the Global TransPark Foundation. Allison has long been a friend of Clemson. Most notably, he spearheaded a partnership between BB&T and the University that developed from a shared commitment to improving the quality of education and the economic environment of the region. With a $1 million gift to Clemson's John E. Walker Department of Economics, the financial institution has established the BB&T Center for Economic Education and Policy Studies to help people better understand markets in practical and ethical terms. For his longtime commitment to public service, Allison was recognized in 1998 with the Ellis Island Medal of Honor. Officially sanctioned by both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, the Ellis Island Medal of Honor ranks among this country's most prestigious awards. The award honors not only individuals but also the pluralism and democracy that have enabled our ancestry groups to maintain their identities while becoming integral parts of the American way of life. The award epitomizes Allison's deep commitment to the preservation of a society that thrives on liberty and reason. Clemson University holds John Allison's remarkable life of service and his support of and commitment to education in the highest regard. It is with great honor and pleasure that we recognize John Allison with the honorary degree, Doctor of Humanities The Academic Procession The Academic procession is composed of the faculty, staff, officers, trustees, and honored guests of the University. Faculty enter by college and each college is preceded by its marshal, a senior faculty member, with the college baton, described under University Regalia. The college banners are placed on the stage. Each banner is a combination of colors that declare the disciplines taught in that college. These colors, which were established by the American Council on Education, are as follows: College Colors Discipline Agriculture, Forestry, and Life Maize Agriculture Sciences Brown Forestry Golden Yellow Life Sciences Architecture, Arts, and Lilac Architecture Humanities Brown Arts White Humanities Dark Blue Philosophy Business and Behavioral Science Drab Accounting and Business Copper Economics Peacock Blue Public Administration Cream Social Sciences Engineering and Science Orange Engineering Golden Yellow Science Health, Education, and Human Light Blue Education Development Apricot Nursing Cream Social Sciences Library Lemon Yellow Library Staff Purple and Orange Academic Support Faculty Senate Purple and White Instruction Collegiate faculty follow their marshal in order of academic rank wearing academic costumes of medieval origin.
