6 Commencement Traditions at West Virginia University

The Seal West Virginia University’s seal was adopted by the WVU Board of Regents on June 15, 1869. The center of the seal includes an outline of the campus (then only Woodburn Circle), hills behind the buildings to reflect the institution’s stability, and a rising sun to indicate its prosperity. The motto in the inner circle in Greek translates to: “Add to your faith virtue and to virtue knowledge” (from 2 Peter 1:5 in the King James Bible). The outer circle in Latin translates to: “Seal of the West Virginia University. Established 7 February, 1867.” The Regents’ original, handwritten resolution adopting the seal is located in the University Archives in the WVU Wise Library. The Mace The mace is a symbolic tradition that originated during the Middle Ages. The ornamental staff of authority is brought to the platform by the University Marshal who, to signify the beginning of the ceremony, taps it thrice and places it in the holder. The mace used in official ceremonies at West Virginia University was handcrafted by a WVU professor. It represents the official authority of the University president and precedes him or her at academic ceremonies, including Commencement and inaugurations. When the president is not in attendance, smaller batons are used to signify the designation of authority. 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. University marshals are typically members of the faculty body. Schools and colleges may also select their own faculty and student marshals to help facilitate their individual ceremonies.

Robbins Andrew Shiemke Joann Siegrist Gail VanVoorhis Robert A. Waterson Jack C. Watson ACADEMIC PROCESSIONAL AND REGALIA The sequence of the processional is as follows: members of the platform party, deans, faculty, degree candidates, honored guests, and presiding officer, such as the University president or provost. The history of the academic regalia worn today at American college exercises dates back in its essential features to the Middle Ages. The oldest universities of northern Europe evolved from ecclesiastical institutions, and during the early days, both faculty and students were regarded as part of the clergy. Hence they wore clerical garb, largely borrowed from the monastic dress of their day, not merely on special occasions, but as their regular costume. The head-covering of the academic costume was developed from the skullcap worn by the clergy in cold weather to protect their tonsured heads. In the universities this skullcap acquired a point on top, which gradually evolved into a tassel. The bonnet with tassel is still worn by some; however, for the most part it has been replaced by the more familiar mortarboard. The gown worn today seems to have been borrowed from the habit worn by Benedictine monks. No trimming is found on the bachelor’s and master’s gowns. 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, on the inner liner, the official colors of the institution that conferred the degree. The West Virginia University ceremonial regalia consists of a blue gown with blue velvet trim, a gold and blue hood, and a blue hat. This regalia is worn by members of the platform party, special guests, and members of the University administration.

7 2011 Honorary Degree Recipients

At Commencement, West Virginia University recognizes the contributions of distinguished persons by conferring honorary degrees upon them.

George B. Bennett West Virginia University would like to recognize Dr. George B. Bennett with an honorary degree. Dr. Bennett has been a leading thinker and entrepreneur bringing his background in engineering and analytics to consult on national and global issues; including healthcare and education. Dr. Bennett earned a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering from West Virginia University in 1967 and a master’s degree (1970) and doctoral degree (1971) in industrial administration from Carnegie Mellon University. In 1982, Dr. Bennett was inducted into the WVU Distinguished Alumni Academy of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering. Dr. Bennett serves on the board of directors of a number of organizations, including the Disease Management Association of America, the National Youth Science Foundation; and Urban Imrov, a Boston-based not-for-profit organization focused on improving the odds for Boston’s inner city youth. For more than 35 years Dr. Bennett has been a successful serial entrepreneur. Early in his career in 1973, he co-founded Bain and Company, a large top-tier international consulting firm, and Braxton Associates in 1976, a boutique strategy consulting firm with a reputation for innovation and creativity. Both companies are two highly regarded international strategy consulting firms that have dramatically impacted Fortune 500-scale firms around the world. Later in 1985, he co-founded Symmetrix, a management consulting firm that specialized in helping firms translate innovative strategies into cost-effective operating practices. He served as Symmetrix’s chairman and chief executive officer from 1985 to 1996. Dr. Bennett also co-founded Health Dialog Services Corporation in 1997. The firm is a leading healthcare services company that is having a dramatic impact on the way healthcare is delivered in the U.S., several European countries; and Australia. Dr. Bennett served as both the CEO and chairman of the board from 1997 until January 2008 when the firm was sold to Bupa, a large British- owned global provider of healthcare services. He currently serves as chairman of the firm’s board of directors. In the early 1980s, Dr. Bennett spent a year in Washington as a member of the Grace Commission, a commission created by President Ronald Reagan, to bring state-of-the-art business practices to the federal government. Bennett has remained active in Washington and has been an active participant in the ongoing debate regarding health reform. West Virginia University feels that Dr. George B. Bennett has attained national and international pre-eminence in his field while provided distinguished leadership in society and philanthropic support of engineering at WVU

Thomas E. Menighan West Virginia University would like to recognize Thomas E. Menighan with an honorary degree. His contributions as a prominent pharmacist have positively impacted the health care industry in America. Thomas E. Menighan is the Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of the American Pharmacists Association, assuming this position in July 2009. Mr. Menighan received his Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy (BSPharm) in 1974 from West Virginia University School of Pharmacy and a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) in 1990 from Averett College. In May 2010, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Science degree by the University of Charleston (WV). Mr. Menighan is also a Fellow of the American Pharmacists Association. Prior to rejoining APhA, Mr. Menighan was President of SynTegra Solutions Inc., in Germantown, Maryland. The company provides supply chain and chargeback auditing and consulting in risk management, 340B Systems, anti-counterfeiting, and the technology of medication information. Mr. Menighan founded SymRx, Inc., and developed CornerDrugstore.com©. Throughout his career, Mr. Menighan has served volunteer roles within the profession of pharmacy, including president of APhA from 2001 to 2002 and a member of the APhA Board of Trustees between 1995 and 2003. He was a senior staff member of APhA from 1987 to 1992. While on staff as Senior Director of External Affairs, he managed state affairs, public relations, new business development and practice management issues. Other professional experiences include management of the PharMark Corporation, creator of RationalMed©, and licensed systems for states to conduct Drug Utilization Review for millions of state Medicaid enrollees. Mr. Menighan also founded and was a 20-year Medicine Shoppe owner in Huntington, West Virginia, and is a partner in Pharmacy Associates, Inc., a multi-state specialty pharmacy that today serves patients in much of the United States. West Virginia University feels that Thomas E. Menighan has attained national pre-eminence in the health care industry and has routinely supported his alma mater through his past and current activities and is deserving of an honorary degree from the institution.

Please join us for a reception to congratulate our graduates immediately following the ceremony in the Shell Building beside the Coliseum.

West Virginia University would like to recognize Dr. George B. Bennett with an honorary degree. Dr. Bennett has been a leading thinker and entrepreneur bringing his background in engineering and analytics to consult on national and global issues; including healthcare and education. Dr. Bennett earned a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering from West Virginia University in 1967 and a master’s degree (1970) and doctoral degree (1971) in industrial administration from Carnegie Mellon University. In 1982, Dr. Bennett was inducted into the WVU Distinguished Alumni Academy of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering. Dr. Bennett serves on the board of directors of a number of organizations, including the Disease Management Association of America, the National Youth Science Foundation; and Urban Imrov, a Boston-based not-for-profit organization focused on improving the odds for Boston’s inner city youth. For more than 35 years Dr. Bennett has been a successful serial entrepreneur. Early in his career in 1973, he co-founded Bain and Company, a large top-tier international consulting firm, and Braxton Associates in 1976, a boutique strategy consulting firm with a reputation for innovation and creativity. Both companies are two highly regarded international strategy consulting firms that have dramatically impacted Fortune 500-scale firms around the world. Later in 1985, he co-founded Symmetrix, a management consulting firm that specialized in helping firms translate innovative strategies into cost-effective operating practices. He served as Symmetrix’s chairman and chief executive officer from 1985 to 1996. Dr. Bennett also co-founded Health Dialog Services Corporation in 1997. The firm is a leading healthcare services company that is having a dramatic impact on the way healthcare is delivered in the U.S., several European countries; and Australia. Dr. Bennett served as both the CEO and chairman of the board from 1997 until January 2008 when the firm was sold to Bupa, a large British- owned global provider of healthcare services. He currently serves as chairman of the firm’s board of directors. In the early 1980s, Dr. Bennett spent a year in Washington as a member of the Grace Commission, a commission created by President Ronald Reagan, to bring state-of-the-art business practices to the federal government. Bennett has remained active in Washington and has been an active participant in the ongoing debate regarding health reform. West Virginia University feels that Dr. George B. Bennett has attained national and international pre-eminence in his field while provided distinguished leadership in society and philanthropic support of engineering at WVU.

He continues to teach an undergraduate engineering course each year, and is currently supervising four Ph.D. students with support from National Science Foundation grants. Dr. Yang is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the American Society for Engineering Education, and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He has received numerous awards for his research, teaching, and service, including the Benjamin Garver Lamme gold medal from the American Society of Engineering Education and the 2008 Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials Award from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

I pledge: To give the utmost of performance; To participate in none but honest enterprise; To live and work according to the laws of man and the highest standards of professional conduct; To place service before profit, the honor and standing of the profession before personal advantage, and the public welfare above all other considerations. In humility and with need for Divine Guidance, I make this pledge.

Dr. franklin e. boteler Franklin E. Boteler (Frank) currently serves as the Assistant Director of the Institute of Bioenergy, Climate and Environment (IBCE) in the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture. IBCE programs advance science through awarding approximately $300 million per year in grants to support research, education, and extension in sustainable bioenergy, adaptation/mitigation of agriculture and natural resources to climate change and variability, sustainable natural resources, and environmental concerns.

Previously, Dr. Boteler held progressively responsible positions with the North Carolina, Idaho, and Washington State Parks Systems. In Washington he functioned as the chief operating officer responsible for 1000 FTE’s (including 250 commissioned park rangers), 125 parks, a $100 million operating budget, and an $80 million capital development budget. He regularly participated in cabinet meetings of Governor Locke in Washington and Governor Andrus in Idaho, prepared briefing documents and gave presentations to policy setting boards and commissions, and testified before state legislative committees.

Dr. Boteler was a tenured associate professor in the West Virginia University Division of Forestry performing research and teaching in forest resources management. His research work was supported by the National Park Service, the USDA Forest Service, and the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources which he worked with in setting the original carrying capacity and safety regulations for whitewater use of the Cheat, New, and Gauley Rivers.

Dr. Boteler holds a doctorate and masters from the Pennsylvania State University School of Forest Resources and a B.S. in psychology from the University of Maryland. He has completed substantial executive management training including a four week in-residence training on executive leadership at Federal Executive Institute, two weeks in residence at the Washington State Executive Managers Program, the North Carolina Certified Public Manager Program, and numerous courses from the Kennedy School of Government Studies at Harvard and the Brookings Institution.

Frank is an avid outdoors person who enjoys skiing in British Columbia, mountain climbing, road biking, backpacking, and river running. He has climbed Mt. Rainier and is currently in training to climb Mt. Denali. His wife, a WVU graduate, is a reference librarian and their son, born in the WVU Hospital, is a recent graduate of Western Washington University.

William Mase earned his doctorate in public health from the University of Kentucky College of Public Health. He earned his Master of Public Health degree from The Ohio State University in health services, management, and policy and a Master of Arts degree in sociology from West Virginia University. He completed duel bachelor’s degrees, psychology and sociology, at Wright State University. At WVU, Mase’s research focused on crime and justice studies with an emphasis on criminality and gender- based differences, specifically developing models to better understand female criminality. Dr. Mase joined the University of Cincinnati faculty in 2008, serving as an assistant professor and director of the MPH Program in the College of Medicine, Department of Public Health Sciences. Prior to joining the UC faculty, he served on the faculty of the Wright State University School of Medicine for 16 years. In 2010, Mase received a five-year Health Research Services Administration grant award as co-principal investigator with colleagues at The Ohio State University to advance statewide efforts with the Ohio Public Health Training Center (2010 – 2014). Additional grant funding in 2010-2011 included: an award from Proctor and Gamble to advance workforce-based health promotion initiatives, a technology-based educational grant in collabora- tion with the University of Cincinnati and The Ohio State University, a contract from the Association of Health Commissioners to evaluate state-wide H1N1 response, and a contract from the Ohio Department of Health to conduct a Workforce Competency- based Needs Assessment. Additionally, Mase has received two Public Health Systems and Services Research grants from the University of Kentucky and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Dr. Mase’s research focuses on public health workforce development. In 2007 and 2008, he was awarded two investigator initiated research grants from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to study the relationship between employee-supervisor trust relationships and differential effects of race, ethnicity, and gender. His work in community and public health has been supported through grants from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Ohio Department of Health, the Ohio Board of Regents, the Ohio Department of Mental Health, the Corporation for National Service, the United States Department of Education, and a number of community and non-profit foundations. He has published in a number of public health journals and currently has an epidemiology book chapter in-press.

Bob Huggins (‘78 MS) Bob Huggins, a native of Morgantown, W. Va., is a two-time Academic All-American, and graduated from the College of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences, magna cum laude, in 1977. He received his master’s in health administration from WVU in 1978. Hug- gins was a three-year letterman for the Mountaineers from 1975-1977 and was named MVP helping the basketball team to an 18-11 record, the team’s highest win total in nine seasons. Bob Huggins was introduced as WVU’s 21st men’s basketball coach in April of 2007. In his first season at WVU, Huggins took the Mountaineers to the NCAA Sweet 16, becoming the first Mountaineer coach to take a team that far in NCAA tournament play in his first season. With 26 victories, he won more games in his first year than any other coach in WVU history. After finishing the season with a No. 17 ranking, Bob Huggins was named state coach of the year by the W. Va. State Sportswriters Association. In 2008-2009, Bob Huggins led the Mountaineers to 23 victories in his second season at WVU, advancing to the NCAA tournament for the second year in a row. Last year, Huggins guided West Virginia to one of the most memorable seasons in school history. The Moun- taineers reached the NCAA Final Four for the first time since 1959 and won their first BIG EAST championship. WVU recorded a school record 31 victories and also posted a school-best 13 BIG EAST victories, finishing the season ranked No.3 in the final ESPN/ USA Today Coaches’ Poll. For the third year in a row, Huggins was named state coach of the year by the West Virginia State Sports Writers Association. Bob Huggins, 57, has compiled a 670-241 (.736) record entering his 29th season as a head coach, which includes stints at Walsh College (1980-83), Akron (1984-1989), Cincinnati (1989-2005), Kansas State (2006-07) and West Virginia (2007-present). He ranks fourth in total victories and 10th in winning percentage among active Division I head coaches. A proven success as a program builder, recruiter and game strategist who has won 670 games as a collegiate head coach, Bob Huggins has directed his alma mater to 80 victories, the 2010 NCAA Final Four, the 2010 BIG EAST championship and back-to-back-to-back appearances in the NCAA tournament during his first three seasons in Morgantown.

95 BROOKE GLADSTONE

Brooke Gladstone started out in print journalism, writing on defense policy, strip-mining, broadcasting and cable TV. Her freelance pieces have appeared in the London Observer, the Boston Globe, the Washington Post and the American Journalism Review among others. She also covered public broadcasting for Current and wrote and edited theater, film and music reviews for The Washington Weekly. In 1987, NPR’s Scott Simon asked Gladstone to fill in as senior editor for his still-new program, “Weekend Edition Sat- urday.” Eventually they gave her the job, and she soon became senior editor of the NPR newsmagazine, “All Things Consid- ered.” Gladstone was awarded a Knight Fellowship at Stanford in 1991, and a year later she was in Russia, reporting on the bloody insurgency of the Russian Parliament and other stories for NPR. In 1995, NPR created its brand new media beat and gave it to Gladstone, who covered it for six years from NPR’s New York bureau in midtown Manhattan, until she was tapped by WNYC several subway stops downtown to help re-launch “On the Media.” The program was reborn in January of 2001. “On the Media” has since more than tripled its audience and won several awards, including the Edward R. Murrow Awards for feature reporting and investigative reporting, the National Press Club’s Arthur Rowse Award for Press Criticism and a Peabody Award for its body of work. Gladstone also has won several awards, including an Overseas Press Club Award, a Peabody and the Milwaukee Press Club’s Sacred Cat Award for lifetime achievement. She plans to release her new book, “The Influencing Machine: Brooke Gladstone on the Media,” in May 2011.
