T A VIS S MILEY Doctor of Humane Letters

Saluted among the most promising young leaders in America by Time and hailed by Newsweek as one of the “20 people changing how Americans get their news,” Tavis Smiley is a broadcaster and political commentator, best-selling author, talk show host, philanthro- pist, and a strong voice for social change. He is the first American ever to concurrently host signature talk shows on both public television and public radio. Smiley experienced hardship firsthand growing up in a large family in rural Indiana. He attended Indiana University, where he studied policy and administration, as well as law and public policy, and served in his senior year as an intern for Los Angeles mayor Tom Bradley. He went on to political commentary, first with a 60-second radio newscast called The Smiley Report and later as an analyst for national news outlets such as CNN and for the widely syndicated black-oriented radio program The Tom Joyner Morning Show. He was executive producer and host of the current affairs program BET Tonight with Tavis Smiley on Black Entertainment Television and became the first African American to host his own talk show for National Public Radio. That success was followed by the launching of his PBS television program, Tavis Smiley. Smiley developed and hosts The State of the Black Union, C-SPAN’s series of town hall meetings about issues affecting the African- American community. Later this year, Smiley will bring to the air two unprecedented prime-time forums in which the presidential candidates of the major parties will discuss issues of concern to people of color. Smiley has authored or edited several books on economic and social empowerment, including the Covenant with Black America, a series of essays by black scholars, activists, and political figures that became a political phenomenon and reached No.1 on the New York Times Best-Seller List without mainstream exposure. The book lays out a blueprint of what individuals, the community, and the body politic can do to ensure that no one is left behind socially, politically, or economically. He has also written a memoir entitled What I Know for Sure: My Story of Growing Up in America. In 1988, Smiley founded a communications corporation dedicated to human rights and empowerment issues. His self-named foundation works to enlighten, encourage, and empower African-American youth through the development of leadership skills. His philanthropic work has resulted in the establishment of schools for communications and professional media studies at Texas Southern University, ongoing scholarships to African- American high school and college students, and other charitable contributions. Smiley has received numerous awards for his role as a voice for social change, work as a broadcaster, and philanthropy, including an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from his alma mater.

J OAN L EBSON B ILDNER Doctor of Humane Letters Joan Lebson Bildner and her husband, Allen, were owners of Kings Super Markets, Inc., for many years and owners of the SME Co., a family management and investment firm. Their business successes and desire to help people have enabled the Bildners to demonstrate an extraordinary commitment to developing programs that further justice, equality, and diversity. At Rutgers, the Bildners founded the Allen and Joan Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life, which has stimulated the development of Jewish studies at Rutgers and promoted scholarship, research, public education, and prejudice reduction. To date, the Bildners and their foundation have supported more than 20 different initiatives at Rutgers, including the Paul Robeson Cultural Center, the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum, and the Institute on Ethnicity, Culture, and the Modern Experience. Joan Bildner served for 12 years on Rutgers’ Board of Governors and Board of Trustees, and in June 2006, she was elected a Rutgers Trustee Emerita in recognition of her distinguished service. She is currently a member of the Board of Overseers of the Rutgers University Foundation. She was appointed founding co-chair of the New Jersey-Israel Commission and is either a past or current board member or senior executive with such organizations as the Paper Mill Playhouse, Prevent Blindness New Jersey, the Waterloo Foundation for the Arts, the Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, and the Theresa Grotta Rehabilitation Center. She has received the prestigious Volunteer of the Year Award from the New Jersey Chapter of the National Society of Fund Raising Executives, and both she and her husband were honored with the Rutgers Medal for Philanthropic Excellence.

D ONALD T. DI F RANCESCO Doctor of Laws Fifty-first governor of New Jersey and a long-time member of the state senate, Donald T. DiFrancesco served the citizens of New Jersey for nearly 30 years. His career in public service began with his election to the New Jersey General Assembly in 1975. A November 1979 special election saw him elected to the state senate, where he represented the 22nd legislative district. In 1992, he was chosen to serve as president of the senate, going on to set the record as the longest serving state senate president. On January 31, 2001, following the resignation of Governor Christine Todd Whitman, he became the first New Jersey legislator since the 1947 State Constitution to serve in the dual role of governor and senate president. He served with distinction, providing New Jersey with outstanding leadership, particularly during the difficult period following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. A strong advocate for higher education throughout his career in public service, his efforts led to a vastly improved technology infrastructure as well as key additions to and improvements in the capital facilities at New Jersey’s higher education institutions. He also sponsored legislation to establish the New Jersey Better Educational Savings Trust, a state- managed program designed to encourage saving for college. In 2003, he served as a guest lecturer at Rutgers’ Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy where his years of experience in state government and keen insight into the political process provided Rutgers students with an invaluable perspective on public service in the modern era. Today, he is a partner in a law firm and a member of the board of directors of Commerce Bancorp.

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey May 16, 2007 9 S HIRIN E BADI Doctor of Laws An Iranian lawyer and human rights activist, Dr. Shirin Ebadi began her career in the mid- 1970s as Iran’s most accomplished female jurist. In 1975, she became president of the city court of Tehran, the first woman in Iranian legal history to head a legislative branch. Following the Iranian Revolution in 1979, she was forced to resign her position when con- servative clerics insisted that judgment by women is forbidden in Islam. She eventually established a law practice, taking on many politically sensitive cases that few other Iranian lawyers were willing to touch. Jailed in Iran herself on a number of occasions, Ebadi is known throughout her country and the world for her defense of victims of the Iranian con- servative faction’s attack on free speech and political freedom. She is credited with being a driving force behind the reform of family law in Iran by seeking changes in divorce and inheritance legislation. She is also an activist for refugee rights, as well as those of women and children. She is the founder and leader of both the Association for Support of Children’s Rights in Iran and the Centre for Defence of Human Rights. An advocate of Reformed Islam, Ebadi argues for a new interpretation of Islamic law in harmony with vital human rights such as democracy, equality before the law, religious freedom, and freedom of speech. Her work has earned her the admiration of human rights groups around the world. In 2003, she became the 11th woman in history to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, awarded for her significant and pioneering efforts for democracy and human rights, especially for the rights of women and children. She was the first Iranian and the first Muslim woman to receive the Peace Prize.

A LBERT R. GAMPER J R . Doctor of Humane Letters Albert R. Gamper Jr., outgoing chairman of the university’s Board of Governors and a 1966 graduate of Rutgers’ University College–Newark, is a true Rutgers loyalist and champion. While a student at Rutgers, Gamper worked at Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company and rose steadily up the corporate ladder. In 1987, he was chosen to serve as chairman and chief executive officer of the CIT Group, Inc., following its acquisition by Manufacturers Hanover. His leadership at CIT helped the firm become one of the nation’s largest commer- cial and consumer financing companies. He retired as chairman of the board of CIT in 2004. Citing his Rutgers degree as a key to his success, Gamper translated his gratitude to his alma mater into a $1 million gift, matched by CIT, to endow a chair at Rutgers Business School–Newark and New Brunswick. He and his wife, Janice, have also given generous financial support to many other Rutgers programs, such as student scholarships, the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum, and the Scarlet R Club, to name just a few. Gamper began his board service at Rutgers on the Board of Overseers of the Rutgers University Foundation in 1993 and was elected to the Board of Trustees the following year. He was appointed to the Board of Governors in 1996 and became chairman in 2004. Beyond Rutgers, Gamper is chairman of the board of Saint Barnabas Health Care System, a trustee of Fidelity Investments, and a director of the Public Service Enterprise Group. He currently or formerly has served on numerous other boards in the areas of business, public television, and the arts. He was inducted into Rutgers’ Hall of Distinguished Alumni in 1999 and received the Rutgers Alumni Federation’s Award for Meritorious Service in 2000.

10 Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey May 16, 2007 F ATHER E DWIN D. LEAHY, O.S.B. Doctor of Humane Letters Edwin D. Leahy began his career as a teacher at St. Benedict’s Preparatory School in Newark in 1967. The monks of the Newark Abbey had educated boys at St. Benedict’s since 1868, but by the early 1970s, waning enrollment, declining student achievement, and financial difficulties forced operations to be suspended. Father Edwin was appointed head- master with a mission to lead efforts to reopen the school. Under his energetic and charismatic guidance, St. Benedict’s reopened in 1973 with 89 students, 14 faculty members, and renewed determination to ready young men from the Newark area for higher education and productive careers. Students soon found that Father Edwin had set high standards of personal discipline, social responsibility, and moral integrity, which were reinforced in the classroom and by a strong peer support system. Strenuous athletic and extracurricular activi- ties were also encouraged. Father Edwin earned a reputation as a “hands-on” headmaster, one who was always there for his students as a counselor and friend. Today, 34 years after its new beginning, St. Benedict’s is flourishing. Its enrollment has grown to 584 students, most from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and there are 67 faculty members. The school’s graduation rate is high, and 95 percent of its graduates go on to college. Its campus includes an academic-athletic center, library, field house, athletic playing fields, new gymnasium, and residence hall that houses 75 students. While funding challenges remain, St. Benedict’s now has a $30 million endowment and a highly effective fundraising program. Proud alumni point to the school’s environment, which owes so much to the efforts of Father Edwin, as a key ingredient in setting them on the course to successful lives.

G ORDON H. SATO Doctor of Humane Letters A lifetime of achievement in the sciences—as an accomplished research biologist and a member of the National Academy of Sciences, author or coauthor of more than 150 scientific papers, faculty member at such institutions as the University of California, and director of the W. Alton Jones Cell Science Center—helped prepare Dr. Gordon H. Sato for one of the most rewarding projects in his life: cultivating mangrove trees along the coast of Eritrea, a drought-stricken African nation. There, in one of the world’s poorest and driest nations, sustainable, affordable agricultural practice is a constant struggle, and famine is frequent. Sato recognized that mangrove trees, already growing along some of the country’s coast, could be made to tolerate and even flourish in the brackish tidal wash of coastal Eritrea. Beginning in 1988, Sato and his nonprofit Manzanar Project—named after the camp in which he, his parents, and many other Americans of Japanese ancestry were interned during the early days of World War II—have planted thousands of mangroves. The leaves of the plants provide fodder to raise enough animals to feed several thousand people. Local Eritreans use the mangrove branches for fuel, and the roots of the plants create the perfect natural environment for fish farming. There in the shallow water, crab, shrimp, and fish all thrive on the plankton, algae, and organisms that grow among the mangrove roots. Since 1988, Sato has invested more than $500,000 of his own money in the Manzanar Project. A 2002 recipient of the prestigious international Rolex Award for Enterprise and the 2005 Blue Planet Award, Sato has created one of the world’s most remarkable humani- tarian projects and is working to help impoverished, coastal Eritrean communities develop a low-technology, sustainable agricultural economy.

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey May 16, 2007 11 E UGENIE C. SCOTT Doctor of Science Dr. Eugenie C. Scott, a physical anthropologist and internationally recognized advocate of scientific literacy, is the founding director of the National Center for Science Education (NCSE), established in 1987 to defend the teaching of evolution in public school science classes. The NCSE is composed of scientists, teachers, and other professionals working to improve the teaching of evolution and promote the view of science as a classical educational “way of knowing.” Scott earned her Ph.D. degree at the University of Missouri and has taught at the University of Kentucky and the University of Colorado. She is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a former president of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists. She is a leading expert on creationism— including intelligent design—and one of its strongest critics. Deeply committed to the separation of church and state, she believes that while instructors must respect their students’ religious views, science and evolution are not de facto antireligious, and schools should only allow science to be taught in science classes. She has served on many occasions as an adviser to and advocate for parent and educator groups opposing the actions of school boards, legislators, and others seeking to promote the teaching of creationism as a science. In 1980, Scott led efforts to block a school board in Kentucky from including creationism in its curriculum. One of her most visible recent efforts has been the six-year fight against the Kansas State Board of Education’s decision to remove evolution from that state’s testing standards. Her efforts have earned her such honors as the public service awards from both the National Science Board and the Geological Society of America, and the Distinguished Service Award from the California Science Teachers Association. Undergraduate Speaker

F RAIDY R EISS Class of 2007 University College–New Brunswick Each year, a committee of faculty and staff members chooses from among nominees put forward by the deans of Rutgers’ undergraduate colleges an outstanding graduating senior to deliver the undergraduate commencement address. This year, Fraidy Reiss of Lakewood, New Jersey, has been selected for this honor. Like most students of University College, Rutgers’ undergraduate college for adult and part-time students, Reiss balanced academic studies with personal and pro- fessional responsibilities. While raising two daughters, serving as president of the parent-teacher organization of her children’s school, and working as a freelance reporter, she pursued a journal- ism degree and maintained a 4.0 grade-point average. She also served as editor-in-chief of the University College literary magazine, worked on the college yearbook, and interned at the Press of Atlantic City. An article she wrote for an investigative journalism class spurred nationwide debate and led to her appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Graduating with honors, Reiss is now a reporter with the Asbury Park Press.

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey May 16, 2007 67 A stained glass window with the university’s motto, “Sun of righteousness, shine upon the West also.” Kirkpatrick Chapel, Old Queen’s Campus. The University Seal

The university seal is the official imprimatur of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. As such, it appears on official documents, such as contracts and deeds, and, most notably, on the diplomas issued to graduates of the university. The outer ring contains the name of the university. The inner ring includes the date of Rutgers’ founding, 1766, as Queen’s College, the eighth institution of higher learning established in the American colonies. The university’s motto, “Sun of righteous- ness, shine upon the West also,” appears in Latin in the inner ring, surrounding a stylized sunburst. The motto is an adaptation of the motto of the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands, connoting the original college’s early affiliation with the Dutch Reformed Church. It is today interpreted as a request for the enlightenment of learning to shine equally upon the New World.

The University Coat of Arms

The shield of the Rutgers coat of arms appears on the university gonfalon, which is borne by a faculty member at the head of all university processions. The shield is quartered to represent in armorial bearings the founding and the growth of the 241-year-old university. The first quarter (dexter, or right upper quarter of the shield as one would carry it) bears the arms of Nassau, the House of Orange, and recognizes the Dutch settlers who founded the college under the aegis of the Dutch Reformed Church. The armorial devices in the upper sinister quarter are those of George III combined with Queen Charlotte’s. George’s arms represent his dominions of England, Scotland, and Ireland; and the two small escutcheons, centered, his ancestral right to bear the arms of Brunswick and Saxony. The crest on the dexter small escutcheon is the Crown of Charlemagne, which George III as Treasurer of the Holy Roman Empire was entitled to show. It was George III who granted the Charter of 1766 to Queen’s College, named in honor of Charlotte of Mecklenburg, King George’s consort. The arms shown on the sinister half of this quarter are Queen Charlotte’s and represent the German states ruled by the House of Mecklenburg. The third quarter, dexter, is the emblem from the Great Seal of the State of New Jersey, which Rutgers as the state university is entitled to show. Fittingly, the plows depicted also symbolize Rutgers’ designation as one of the original land-grant colleges. The fourth quarter, sinister, is the coat of arms of Colonel Henry Rutgers, an early benefactor of what was then known as Queen’s College. Colonel Rutgers was a descendant of Rutger Van Schoenderwoerdt, who settled in New York in the seventeenth century. The family name was changed to Rutgers in 1636. The name of the college was changed in 1825 to honor Colonel Rutgers, trustee and benefactor.

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey May 16, 2007 69 The Academic Costume

The wearing of academic dress dates back to the early days of the oldest universities in the world. In the American Council on Education’s book entitled American Universities and Colleges, it is suggested that “Gowns may have been counted necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings frequented by medieval scholars. Hoods seem to have served to cover the tonsured head. . . .” Throughout the years, European universities have continued to show great diversity in their academic dress. American universities, on the other hand, when they decided to adopt academic dress, immediately established a code of regulations that today is followed by almost all American institutions. The establishment of this code has made it possible to distinguish the bachelors, masters, and doctors and, at the same time, recognize the uni- versity that has given them the degree. Gowns: The bachelor’s gown has pointed sleeves and is worn closed. The master’s gown, worn open or closed, has oblong sleeves, the front part of which frequently is cut away at the elbow. The doctor’s gown has bell-shaped sleeves. It is worn open or closed. Cotton poplin or similar material is used for the bachelor’s and master’s degrees, and rayon or silk ribbed material is used for the doctor’s degree. At Rutgers, members of the Board of Governors and Board of Trustees, as well as those who hold a doctoral degree from the university, wear the Rutgers gown, which is scarlet with black velvet front panels framed on the outer edge with gold cord braid. The velvet panels are embroidered with a crown and the year 1766 at the neck, signifying the university’s founding as one of the original colonial colleges under King George III of England. Hoods: The hoods vary in size: 48 inches for the doctor’s degree, 42 inches for the master’s, and 36 inches for the bachelor’s. All hoods are lined in silk in the academic color or colors of the institution conferring the degree. If the institution has more than one color, the colors are shown in divisions using chevrons. The binding or edge of the hood is usually made of velvet in the color designating the subject in which the degree was granted.

The University Mace

The university mace, an ornamental staff symbolizing the authority of the presi- dent, is borne before the president in academic processions by the secretary of the university. The design of the Rutgers mace incorporates signs of the institution’s tradi- tions and present status as New Jersey’s state university. The head of the mace bears the university’s coat of arms and its seal worked in colored enamel and gold on silver, all surmounted by a facsimile of the crown of Queen Charlotte, for whom the university was originally named “Queen’s.” The long shaft is made of stained wood and silver on which are engraved intertwining ivy leaves, symbolizing learn- ing; red oak leaves, representing New Jersey’s state tree; and violets, the state flower.

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey May 16, 2007 71 On the Banks of the Old Raritan

My father sent me to old Rutgers, And resolv’d that I should be a man; And so I settled down, in that noisy college town, On the banks of the old Raritan.

Then sing aloud to alma mater, And keep the Scarlet in the van; For with our motto high, Rutgers’ name shall never die On the banks of the old Raritan.

From New Jersey’s northern lakes and mountains, To our southern pines and gleaming shore; Learning’s fair and hallowed place, joins us, every creed and race, And we praise the name of Rutgers evermore.

Chorus: On the banks of the old Raritan, my friends, Where old Rutgers evermore shall stand; For has she not stood since the time of the flood, On the banks of the old Raritan.

Following the Alma Mater, members of the audience are requested to resume their seats and to remain seated until the recessional has concluded.
