O Colorado College fair, O Colorado College fair, We sing our praise to you; Long may your fame be known; Eternal as the Rockies, May fortune smile upon you, that form our western view; and honor be your own; Your loyal sons and daughters Our Alma Mater always, will always grateful be; Your loyal children we; The college dear to all our hearts Together let us face the future, is our C.C. Hail C.C. AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL (“O Beautiful for Spacious Skies”) Music written by Samuel A. Ward (1847–1903) Words written by Katharine Lee Bates (1859–1929) (S ELECTED STANZAS )

In 1893, Katharine Lee Bates was a visiting professor of English literature in Colorado College’s summer session. Bates and a group of faculty members went by prairie wagon and mules to the summit of Pikes Peak. There, inspired by the magnificent panorama, the poet conceived the initial verses of “America the Beautiful.” It was published in 1895 to national acclaim. Song Leaders: Robin Hinson ’15 , Ellement Johanna Jensen ’16 , Room 46 O beautiful for spacious skies, O beautiful for pilgrim feet For amber waves of grain, Whose stern impassioned stress For purple mountain majesties A thoroughfare for freedom beat Above the fruited plain. Across the wilderness. America! America! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, God mend thine every flaw, And crown thy good with brotherhood Confirm thy soul in self-control, From sea to shining sea. Thy liberty in law.

Audience: Please join us in singing

www.coloradocollege.edu/commencement JANE LUBCHENCO ’69

ANE LUBCHENCO is a marine ecologist and environmental scientist J with expertise in oceans, climate change, and interactions between the environment and human well-being. She served as administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) from 2009 –2013 after being nominated by President Obama in December 2008 as part of his “Science Dream Team.” Under her leadership, NOAA focused on restoring fisheries to sustainability and profitability, restoring oceans and coasts to a healthy state, ensuring continuity of the nation’s weather and environmental satellites, developing a “weather-ready nation,” promoting climate science and delivering climate information and services to inform understanding and adaptation, and strengthening science and ensuring scientific integrity.

Following her resignation from NOAA, she returned to academia and is now University Distinguished Professor and Advisor in Marine Studies at OSU. She received her B.A. in biology from Colorado College, M.S. in zoology from the University of Washington, and Ph.D. in ecology from Harvard University. Her academic career as a professor began at Harvard (1975 –1977) and continued at Oregon State University until her appointment as NOAA administrator. Lubchenco and her husband Bruce Menge pioneered a ‘split position’ arrangement in which they each held half-time but tenure-track positions so each could remain active in teaching and research while also spending quality time with their young children.

Lubchenco is one of the most highly cited ecologists in the world; eight of her publications are recognized as “Science Citation Classics;” she is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences. She has served as president of the American Association for Advancement of Science (AAAS), and on the Pew Oceans Commission, the Joint Oceans Commission Initiative, the Aspen Institute Arctic Commission, Council of Advisors for Google Ocean, and the Blue Ribbon Panel for the World Bank’s Global Partnership for Oceans.

Lubchenco has received numerous awards including a MacArthur “genius” award, 19 honorary doctorates, the Heinz Award for the Environment, and the Blue Planet Prize. She was named 2010 Newsmaker of the Year by the scientific journal Nature . She promotes the concept of ‘a social contract for scientists’ in which scientists pursue and share knowledge that is relevant to society’s most pressing problems, and do so with transparency, honesty, and humility. She co-founded three organizations that enhance communication of scientific knowledge to the public, policy makers, media, and industry: The Leopold Leadership Program, the Communication Partnership for Science and the Sea (COMPASS), and Climate Central. JERRI MARR

ERRI MARR was the forest supervisor of the Pike and San Isabel National J Forests, and the Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands during one of the most devastating wildfires in Colorado history. Her career in forestry began in high school through participation in 4H leadership camps and an internship with the U.S. Forest Service in Oregon. Marr graduated from the University of Tennessee in 1992 with a Bachelor of Science in Forestry and Natural Resource Management. Prior to coming to Colorado in 2010, she worked as the deputy forest supervisor on the Monongahela National Forest in West Virginia.

Marr has been credited as a hero for her actions during the 2012 Waldo Canyon fire when she became the “face of the fire.” Her reassuring and empathetic leadership comforted the residents of our region during one of its most destructive and trying times. Her exceptional compassion, care, and sharing of information was essential to the well-being of our Colorado community.

Her concern for her community extends beyond her professional duties. Marr is active in her work with youth and women in the Pikes Peak Region. She’s worked with various community organizations to speak at events such as Women Helping Women and the Women’s Community Leadership Initiative about self- confidence and determination. During the Waldo Canyon fire she created Smokey Cares — an outreach project to comfort children affected by the fire. Her civic engagement and commitment to her profession has resulted in national notoriety. She’s received awards, commendations, and praise from the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force Academy, National Association of Black Journalists, and the City of Colorado Springs. Most recently, Jerri Marr has accepted the position of national assistant director of recreation, business, heritage, and volunteer resources for the U.S. Forest Service at its national headquarters in Washington, D.C.

We thank her for her service and wish her the best in her future endeavors.

— Manya Whitaker , Assistant Professor of Education ED ROBSON ’54

D ROBSON has played many roles in his life: son, father, grandfather, E entrepreneur, mentor, athlete, pilot, and author, to name a few. The one role that has most defined Ed Robson throughout his life is student. Robson is a true example of the impact higher education can have on life beyond the classroom. His biography “Outrageous Good Fortune” describes his passion for the enduring power of learning, and it highlights the skills he developed through his liberal arts education and used to achieve entrepreneurial success: critical thinking, creativity, the ability to synthesize ideas, a willingness to fail, and a determination to continue moving forward.

After graduating from Colorado College in 1954 with a degree in business and banking, Robson was a member of the 1955 U.S. Olympic hockey team and served for five years as a helicopter pilot in the U.S. Marine Corps. He started his career in real estate with Coldwell Banker in 1960 and then joined the Del Webb Corporation. Always a student, Robson says, “I can’t say Webb was like a mentor to me, but I learned a heck of a lot from him.”

Today, Ed Robson is considered one of the most influential and successful real estate developers in our country. In 1972, he started his first active adult community, Sun Lakes, near Phoenix. Several developments in Arizona and one in Texas followed, and Robson continues to lead and inspire his company. Several periodicals, including Fast Company in 2012, have featured stories of his success. He has been the recipient of numerous honors recognizing his achievements, including the Entrepreneur of the Year Award from Arizona State University and the Outstanding Business Leader Award from Northwood University. He was recognized as an “Icon of the Industry” by the National Association of Home Builders and received the “Ellis Island Medal of Honor.”

Robson’s philanthropy is boundless: Colorado College, Phoenix Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs, St. Josephs’ and Barrow Neurological Foundation, Arizona State University, the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, St. Luke’s Foundation, and the American Heart Association, among many others.

Ed Robson loves and cares for Colorado College, his alma mater. He is grateful for his time here and the rewarding life that has followed. A former member of the Board of Trustees, he is invested in our future and continues to be a generous donor of time, money, and the wisdom he has developed as a lifelong learner.

— Mike Edmonds , Dean of Student s/Vice President for Student Life ROBERT SCHOCK ’61

OBERT SCHOCK , a 1961 graduate of the Colorado College Geology R Department, was most recently the director of studies for the World Energy Council in London and a consultant to industry, laboratories, and governments worldwide. He has dedicated his career to understanding and promoting environmentally responsible energy use around the world.

Through his numerous roles at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, starting in 1968, and continuing currently as senior scientific advisor for their Center for Global Security Research, Schock initiated and led programs in high-level nuclear waste disposition, environmental restoration and waste management, alternative magnetic-fusion energy concepts, hydrogen fuels, and energy policy analysis.

Schock has played a leading role in examining the application of new technology to the proliferation resistance of civilian nuclear power, including U.S.-Russian bilateral discussions, and verification of the Agreed Framework with North Korea. He has testified before the U.S. Congress on pending legislation and is the author of more than 100 scientific papers and technical reports.

Schock was one the coordinating lead authors for the Energy Sources section of the 4th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, commonly known as the IPCC. This work, along with other co-authors and Vice President Al Gore, was recognized with the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. In the report, Schock’s group stated clearly and definitively that:

“Without the near-term introduction of supportive and effective policy actions [by governments], energy-related GHG emissions, mainly from fossil fuel combustion, are projected to rise by over 50 percent by 2030.”

Their IPCC section also cautioned that:

“To continue to extract and combust the world’s rich endowment of [fossil fuels] at current or increasing rates, and so release more of the stored carbon into the atmosphere, is no longer environmentally sustainable [unless carbon dioxide capture and storage technologies currently being developed can be widely deployed].”
