Le Moyne College Campus at nine-thirty in the morning

Le Moyne College Mission Statement

Le Moyne College is a diverse learning community that strives for academic excellence in the Catholic and Jesuit tradition through its comprehensive programs rooted in the liberal arts and sciences. Its emphasis is on education of the whole person and on the search for meaning and value as integral parts of the intellectual life. Le Moyne College seeks to prepare its members for leadership and service in their personal and professional lives to promote a more just society.

1 Academic Regalia

The origin of academic caps, gowns and hoods dates to the 12th century and the rise of the universities, which were originally under the auspices of the church, and whose faculties were comprised of churchmen. These scholars wore clerical robes, hoods and capes as much for warmth during the long, cold European winters as for distinction. Today the standard academic regalia worn in the United States are of three types. The bachelor’s gown is characterized by its simplicity of line and long, pointed sleeves, distinguishing it from the master’s gown, best recognized by its rectangular, “wing-like” sleeves. The doctor’s gown, with full, bell-shaped sleeves, is faced in front and back with velvet and has three velvet bars across the sleeves. In addition, the tassel on the doctor’s cap may be gold. The hood is the most symbolic part of the academic regalia. Its size and shape indicate the level of the degree held, its lining shows the colors of the institution granting it, and the color of its velvet border corresponds to the general academic program of the degree. Thus, all Le Moyne hoods are lined with green and gold, the College colors. Among the hoods worn by Le Moyne graduates and faculty, most have borders of one of the following colors: white (arts and letters) for those with the degree of Bachelor of Arts or Master of Arts; golden yellow (science), corresponding to the degree of Bachelor of Science or Master of Science; and dark blue (philosophy), worn by faculty holding the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in various academic disciplines. Other colors worn by Le Moyne faculty and administrative personnel, indicating the master’s or doctor’s degree they hold, include crimson (theology), purple (law), drab (business administration) and light blue (education).

All student regalia is made in the USA from 100 percent post-consumer plastic bottles.

Stoles, cords and pins signify academic honors, membership in an academic honor society, or significant engagement in co-curricular activities, exemplifying Le Moyne’s mission to educate the hearts and minds of students in inspiring them to become persons for others.

Alma Mater

39 Senior Giving 2018

Each year, the graduating class of Le Moyne College supports a student initiative or cause. The Class of 2018 focused on the Matt Shaw Fund. Matt was a member of the class of 2012, a leader and an integral force at Le Moyne. He studied finance on the Heights, and planned to pursue a master’s degree in economics at the State University of New York at Albany. Shortly after his graduation, Matt was killed in a random act of violence near his home in Harlem, N.Y. In memory of Matt, this fund helps to level the playing field so that all students, regardless of their economic circumstances, can participate in programs that strengthen the education they receive at Le Moyne. The following students gave to the Class of 2018 Senior Giving initiative in memory of Matt Shaw ’12:

Sean Kirst

For many New Yorkers, anything north of White Plains is a no-man’s land, a spot on a map, poised above a famed metropolis, filled with snow and flannel, apples and decent cheese. When they describe upstate, it’s usually in relationship to some other destination. Ask them about Syracuse and they may say that we’re four and a half hours from New York City, four hours from Montreal, four hours from Toronto, and five hours from Boston. As accurate as these estimates may be, they’re also a little embarrassing. What city or town wants to be known by how long it takes to get somewhere else? It’s like being popular for having a pretty sister or a next-door neighbor with a swimming pool. Sean Kirst – native of Dunkirk, N.Y., educated at Fredonia University, a journalist in Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo – draws the map of upstate New York with sharper, finer tools. Sean is one of our own. In his 40-year career as a professional writer, Sean Kirst has revealed to the world the beauty of upstate, the nobility of the people who live and work here, and the power of their stories. As a reporter, Sean has attended his fair share of glittering events, written about star athletes and coaches, political luminaries and artists. But those aren’t the stories that most interest him. For decades now, Sean has been inspired by the quotidian heroics that make a city like Syracuse run. He has written about the stalwart souls who teach our children, plow our streets, walk a beat in the night, or drive a bus in the morning, people like his own parents, Jean and James. Among the many awards Sean Kirst has earned, including the New York State Associated Press Award for Column Writing and the U.S. Department of Justice Award for Sensitivity to Victims of Violent Crime, one in particular stands out: The Ernie Pyle Award for Human Interest Writing. Like Ernie Pyle, Sean seeks out the front lines, and stands there alongside his readers, his neighbors, and friends, as they work, and struggle, and persevere, often without acclaim or reward. For these unsung citizens, Sean Kirst has been their poet and they have been his muse. Like Mark Twain, Ida B. Wells, Stephen Crane, John Steinbeck, or E.B. White, a few of the many American writers who crafted their prose in the pressure cooker of a daily newspaper, Sean Kirst takes what’s transitory – a random shooting on a street corner, a home run on a baseball field, the closing of a toll booth – and he discovers truths that are profound and lasting. In The Death of a Salesman, Arthur Miller describes his iconic character: “Willy Loman never made a lot of money. His name was never in the paper … But he’s a human being … So attention must be paid.” This, finally, is the great service Sean Kirst has performed for us. More than just putting our names in his columns, he’s seen – in all the triumphs and sorrows that too often go unseen – our humanity, and he’s woven that humanity into the stories he’s told. In other words, he’s paid attention. In his book The Soul of Central New York, Sean thanks his readers for the privilege of being their narrator, and he points to the loyalty and trust they’ve given him. Today we return that thanks. For 40 years Sean Kirst has been our literary cartographer. He’s shown to the world what’s lyrical, what’s enduring, what’s powerful and poignant, what’s central to and in Central New York. Sean Kirst put us on the map. With deep appreciation for his contributions to the world of journalism and the arts, for his dedication to the citizens of upstate New York, Le Moyne College is honored to bestow upon

Sean Kirst the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters – honoris causa. May 20, 2018

45 Oren Lyons

Oren Lyons’ belief in our responsibility to one another – and to the earth of which we are a part – occupies the center of his life. A student of the world and a man proud of his Haudenosaunee heritage, Oren was taught to consider carefully how his actions would impact others a full seven generations into the future. He takes seriously the duty bestowed upon him by his ancestors to act responsibly on behalf of people who will occupy the planet hundreds of years from now. He has traveled the globe on behalf of Mother Earth, communicating to all who need to hear how humans have impacted the environment and how endangered our shared home is. As he has said, “All things are bound together. All things connect. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the children of the earth.” As the faithkeeper of the Turtle Clan of the Onondaga Nation, Oren has used his thoughtful, powerful voice to serve as an advocate on behalf of the Haudenosaunee people, and has represented them in numerous worldwide forums. In 1977, he attended a critical United Nations meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, where he and other indigenous leaders spoke eloquently about the rights of native people, climate change and sustainable development. Their work was preserved for history in the book Basic Call to Consciousness. Oren went on to address the General Assembly of the U.N. as it launched the International Year of the World’s Indigenous People and to lead a delegation of Native American leaders to meet with President George H.W. Bush at the White House. Decades of tireless work bore fruit in 2007 when the U.N. General Assembly passed the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The Haudenosaunee continue to advance this work today, and the influence they have had on Central New York and the nation is remarkable. They established a democratic government that inspired the founding fathers in drafting the Constitution, advocated on behalf of women’s rights, and shared with the world the game of lacrosse. Oren himself has a fascinating and varied life story. As a young man, he served in the U.S. Army. He went on to study fine arts at Syracuse University, where he was named an All-American lacrosse player. After his graduation, he spent several years as a commercial artist in New York City before returning home at the request of the Clan-mother to be raised as a faithkeeper of the Turtle Clan. Since that time, Oren has remained a clear and respected voice for the Haudenosaunee and for indigenous people around the world. In addition to his work as a faithkeeper, he is a caring, dedicated teacher, having served as a faculty member in the Department of American Studies at the State University of New York at Buffalo for more than 35 years. The accolades that Oren has earned for his work as an environmentalist, ambassador, educator, artist and athlete are many and well deserved. They include an honorary Doctor of Law degree from his alma mater, the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, the National Audubon Society’s Audubon Medal, the Earth Day International Award of the United Nations, and the Elder and Wiser Award of the Rosa Parks Institute for Human Rights. In 1993, he was inducted into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame. Oren accepts this most recent award on behalf of all of the Haudenosaunee people. With profound gratitude and deep appreciation for his wisdom, leadership and commitment to preserving our Mother, the earth, for future generations, Le Moyne College is honored to present to Oren Lyons the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters – honoris causa.

46 Ruth Johnson Colvin

Reading has the power to transport us to far-flung places, to introduce us to novel ideas, and to concretely impact our lives. The written word inspires creativity, deflects loneliness, and preserves memories. In short, it connects us to one another. Nonetheless, nearly 800 million people around the world struggle to read and write. For more than 50 years, these individuals have enjoyed no greater ally than Ruth Johnson Colvin. As the founder of Literacy Volunteers Inc. (now ProLiteracy Worldwide), Ruth has dedicated herself to combatting illiteracy across the globe, beginning in her adopted home of Syracuse. When asked why she has chosen to take on this challenging work, Ruth has a simple yet profound answer at the ready: “I can’t believe in a life without reading.” The seed for ProLiteracy was first planted in 1962. On one day that year, Ruth opened her local newspaper and was startled to read that approximately 11,000 of her neighbors in the City of Syracuse were functionally illiterate. She immediately wondered: Who were these people? Why couldn’t they read? and What could she do to help? After inviting community leaders to her home to discuss the issue, Ruth founded Literacy Volunteers Inc. She focused her energy on building community networks to empower adult learners, and on developing tutor training programs and materials. Ruth personally visited more than 60 nations to promote literacy training and wrote several books on the subject, including Tutor and I Speak English. In 2002, Literacy Volunteers of America merged with Laubach Literacy International to form ProLiteracy Worldwide. Today, ProLiteracy supports 1,000 member programs in the U.S. and 25 countries worldwide that provide adult literacy instruction. In the decades since she began this important work, Ruth has discovered that you do not need great wealth in order to effect great change. After all, in its early years, Literacy Volunteers was housed in Ruth’s living room and a broken refrigerator doubled as the organization’s bookcase. You simply need to meet a need with passion and an open mind. It is also helpful, Ruth discovered, to have faith and family to guide you. She acknowledges being particularly blessed in this respect, having shared much of her life with her husband of 73 years, the late Robert Colvin; their children, Terry and Lindy; and their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Dedicated, tenacious and energetic at the age of 101, Ruth believes that a life well lived is one in which physical, emotional and spiritual health are prioritized. She continues to serve as a lifetime member of the board of directors of ProLiteracy and is an honorary member of the board of directors of Literacy New York. A native of Chicago, Ill., Ruth earned an associate degree in business from Thornton Junior College in Harvey, Ill. and attended Moser Business College and Northwestern University – both also in Illinois. She later received a bachelor’s degree in business from Syracuse University. Ruth is the recipient of seven honorary degrees (soon to be eight) and has been recognized for her life’s work with numerous awards, including the Women’s Day National Award, the Rotarian International Harris Award, and the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 1993, she was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame. Philosopher and author Thomas Carlyle wrote: “All that mankind has done, thought, gained or been … is lying as in magic preseveration in the pages of books.” With profound appreciation for a life committed to aiding others in exploring new worlds through the written word, Le Moyne College is proud to present to Ruth Johnson Colvin the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters – honoris causa.
