8 9 The University Mace and Batons The mace and batons are symbols of the authority and history of the University and are made from balusters from the original main staircase of Old Main, erected in 1875, the oldest University building now standing. The batons are carried by members of the faculty who are serving as marshals.

Marshals’ Gowns The gowns worn by the marshals are of the traditional University color, cardinal red.

Honor Stoles White or cardinal stoles denote students who are candidates for University Honors. Cardinal represents Honors (cum laude) and white represents High Honors (magna cum laude). White stoles with cardinal and white cords represent Highest Honors (summa cum laude).

The University Song In 1909 a prize of fifty dollars was offered for the best poem relating to the University of Arkansas that should be capable of being set to music and used as a college song. Out of many entries, that of Mr. Brodie Payne, 1906, of Hot Springs won the prize. The words were set to music by Professor H. D. Tovey, Director of the Conservatory of Music and Art at the University.

Academic Regalia The styles of gowns differentiate degree level. Trim of doctoral gowns indicates nature of degree (black or royal blue — Ph.D.; light blue — Ed.D.). Certain members of the faculty wear distinctive gowns and hoods authorized by their doctoral institutions. The lining of the hood denotes the color(s) of the institution awarding the degree. The official colors of the University of Arkansas are cardinal and white.

The color of the velvet band around the hood designates the academic degree of the wearer. Some examples are listed below: Agriculture...... Maize Fine Arts ...... Dark Brown Medicine...... Green Public Health...... Salmon Pink Architecture...... Blue Violet Forestry...... Russett Music...... Pink Science...... Gold Arts And Letters...... White Human Envi. Sci...... Maroon Nursing......

Wilhelmenia Christine Hinton-Lee

Chris Hinton-Lee grew up in rural Mississippi, dreaming of becoming an architect. She didn’t have much support for that dream, but if she’s had one guiding principle in her life it’s that “I would not let naysayers tell me what I could not do.” She attended the University of Arkansas, and in 1975 she became the first African American woman to graduate with a degree in architecture. This was the first of many “firsts” in her life and career. She moved to Maryland after graduation and became the first African American woman to be licensed as an architect in that state. She had a successful 37-year career in the Army Corps of Engineers, where she was the first woman and first African American in virtually every leadership position she attained. Among those positions were chief of architecture, chief of design branch and chief of construction quality assurance; strategic planner for a district commander; and co-chair of the Assistant Secretary of the Army’s task force for Army family housing privatization. Hinton-Lee later served as project director in the Corps’ Medical Facilities Office, managing the $1.2 billion Department of Defense medical facilities construction program. She was named chief of engineering and construction at the Transatlantic Center, where she directed a staff of 80 architects and engineers in the design and construction of a multimillion dollar program in the Middle East, Africa and Russia. In 2003 she was selected to the Army’s Senior Executive Service, making her the first African American female and the first architect to achieve this highest civilian rank, traditionally held by engineers. She was assigned to serve as director of regional business at the Corps’ Lakes and River Division. The following year she was appointed by the Commanding General to be Chief Architect of the entire Corps of Engineers. Hinton-Lee deployed to Iraq in 2006 to serve as director of reconstruction programs for the Gulf Region Division, where she directed the efforts of 500 personnel in the execution of the $13 billion Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund mission to rebuild war-torn Iraq. For her exemplary service there, she was honored with the prestigious Presidential Rank Award. In 2007, Hinton-Lee joined the Corps’ South Atlantic Division as director of regional business, responsible for designing and building barracks, hospitals, office buildings, commissaries and other facilities at 11 major Army posts and 13 Air Force bases in the Southeast. She retired in 2012 and has enjoyed nonstop world travel ever since. Hinton-Lee is a past president and vice president of the Society of American Military Engineers, a member of the American Institute of Architects, the National Organization of Minority Architects, the National Technical Association and a University of Arkansas Charter member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. She is a graduate of the Army Management Staff College. She holds a National Council of Architectural Registration Boards certification and is a registered architect in the states of Maryland and Georgia and in the District of Columbia. With former husband, Nick Lee, she has one son, Nicholas Micah Lee.

10 11 COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT

Alvertis Isbell

Born Alvertis Isbell in Brinkley, Arkansas, Al Bell is the former chairman and owner of Stax Records, where he helped chart the direction of American soul music while guiding the careers of iconic performers like Isaac Hayes, the Staple Singers, Johnnie Taylor, Sam and Dave, Booker T and the MGs, the Bar-Kays, Otis Redding, The Emotions, William Bell, Carla Thomas, Rufus Thomas and Albert King. Bell has written more than 200 songs. Perhaps the best known was written in North Little Rock in 1971. Bell was at his home after attending the funeral of his murdered brother. He remembers he began to hear music, then words – “I know a place/ Ain’t nobody crying/ Ain’t nobody worried/ Ain’t no smilin’ faces/Lying to the races.” The song, “I’ll Take You There,” produced by Bell and released by Stax, became a classic and the first national No. 1 hit for the Staple Singers. Bell used his innovative promotional and marketing talents to help Hollywood reach an uptapped African American audience for movies like the groundbreaking Shaft. His marketing also helped Isaac Hayes win an Oscar for Best Original Song for “Theme from Shaft.” Hayes was the first African American to win an Academy Award in a non-acting category. In 1972, Al Bell supervised the Wattstax festival, a day-long concert featuring Stax artists and held in Los Angeles in support of the African American community in Watts. The 1973 documentary film Wattstax was produced by the label’s new corporate film division. Stax Records was valued by Price Waterhouse at $82 million in 1975, making it one of the largest minority-owned businesses in the United States. In the 1980s Bell served as president of another large minority-owned business: the Motown Records Group. In the early 1990s Bell again had his own label, Bellmark. He discovered the music group Tag Team and released “Whoomp! (There It Is),” which sold over 5 million copies worldwide. When Prince asked Bell to put out his single “The Most Beautiful Girl in the World,” after Warner Brothers Records turned it down, Bell released it on Bellmark and gave Prince a major international hit. Today, Bell is the chairman and chief executive officer of Al Bell Presents LLC, presenting a unique new paradigm of business innovation within the greater music industry. In 2011, Bell received the highest honor the music industry bestows, the Grammy Trustees Award. He has been inducted into 30 halls of fame, including the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame, the Arkansas Business Hall of Fame, the Arkansas Entertainers Hall of Fame and the Official Rhythm & Blues Music Hall of Fame in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Bell received the W.C. Handy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2002, the Arthur A. Fletcher Lifetime Achievement Awards from the National Black Chamber of Commerce in 2008, the National Association of Blacks in Higher Education in 2012 and the National Association of Black Accountants in 2012.

34 35 OUTSTANDING ALUMNI AWARD

Arthur L. Neal, Jr. 2019 Outstanding Alumnus Award

Arthur L. Neal, Jr., who serves as deputy administrator of the Transportation and Marketing Program in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service is Bumpers College’s Outstanding Alumnus for 2019.

To help accomplish his agency’s mission of facilitating competitive and efficient marketing of agricultural products, Neal provides leadership and direction for awarding more than $120 million dollars in grant programs supporting the development and growth of local and regional food systems. Those funds also aid economic research and technical assistance addressing marketing challenges for a wide array of agriculture industries. In 2018, Neal led the USDA team that developed and published the country’s first National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard, which regulates how manufacturers must disclose bioengineered information to retail consumers.

Neal is a proponent of supporting agriculture of all sizes and scale. Before joining the Transportation and Marketing Program, he spent more than 10 years at USDA’s National Organic Program (NOP) where he was associate deputy administrator and played a leading role in the development and enforcement of regulations for the organic industry. He also fostered international relationships that helped open doors for foreign trade of organic products. In addition, he served several years with the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, strengthening relationships between Historically Black Land-Grant Universities and USDA, and resolving cases related to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act.

Neal, the son of a farmer and a native of Louisiana, graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in agriculture economics from Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and earned his master’s degree in agricultural economics from U of A’s Bumpers College.

68 69 COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER

Dominique Scott Professional Athlete

Dominique Scott is a professional middle-distance runner for Adidas International, born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa. In 2011 she came to the United States to run and study at the University of Arkansas. While at her alma mater, Dominique was a five-time NCAA Champion, ten-time SEC champion and eight-time All American in Cross-Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track. She was named the 2015 NCAA Indoor Runner of the Year, and the 2014- 2015 SEC Triple Crown Runner of the Year. She currently holds six running records at the University of Arkansas.

As a senior in 2016, Dominique capped off her collegiate career by winning the 5000m/10000m double at the NCAA Championships, helping Arkansas secure the overall team title. Dominique graduated from the Walton College of Business with a degree in Business Marketing and a minor in Enterprise Resource Planning.

Following her successful career in collegiate racing, Dominique signed an endorsement deal with Adidas, before competing in her first Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Her success in collegiate running has been followed by an outstanding professional career, including competing in the 2018 World Indoor Championships in Birmingham, UK in the women’s 1,500m and 3,000m and breaking the South African records in the indoor 1,500m, mile and 3,000m.

In addition to her running, she has worked to give back to her community. Women’s Running magazine recognized her work, naming her one of 21 women who are changing the world through running. She founded “The Dom Squad,” an educational running program targeting middle school girls to help them with both physical activity and their self-esteem. She also started an initiative to bring the local running community together here in Fayetteville, “NWA Runners Unite.” Under this title, Dominique has hosted two social runs, free for all ages and abilities, where the aim is to meet new local runners, making new running partners and friends.

Despite her global presence in the running community, she makes Fayetteville her home with her husband, Cameron Efurd, who himself is a graduate of the College of Education and Health Professions with a major in Kinesiology.

Fayetteville Jazz Collective

The Fayetteville Jazz Collective is a traditional 18 piece jazz big-band featuring some of the finest musicians in Northwest Arkansas. The FJC per- forms an exciting and energetic mix of old standards and new favorites, from the classics of the swing era to the modern age of bigband music.

Through grass-roots promotion and consistently stellar live performances, the band continues to expand its fan-base with every gig. The FJC’s diverse cat- alog of music includes a wide range of styles spanning the past seven decades; from the enduring classics of the Count Basie and Duke Ellington bands, to the boundary-pushing 1960’s work of Gil Evans and Thad Jones, and on to the contemporary styles of Gordon Goodwin and the Clayton-Hamilton band, as well as Latin Jazz material from composers like Tito Puente and Victor Lopez.

Mary Harmon Managing Director/ Tax Counsel (retired) Goldman Sachs

Mary Harmon, a native of Sherwood, Arkansas, received a Bachelor of Business Administration in accounting from Walton College in 1976. Upon graduation, she joined the Arkansas Division of Legislative Audit as a field auditor. During her tenure there, Harmon attended UALR Law School part time, receiving her juris doctorate with high honors in 1984. She then attended the NYU’s Master of Laws program, where she completed her Master of Laws in tax and was subsequently honored by being named acting assistant professor for the program. After teaching for two years, Harmon practiced law at Cleary Gottlieb. In 1990, she was appointed special counsel to the IRS chief counsel, which is a personal highlight of her career. She was principal advisor to the chief counsel on interpretation and development of the tax law.

Harmon then returned to practice law at Hogan and Hartson, prior to moving to New York to become managing director and tax counsel for Bankers Trust. In 1999, she moved to Goldman Sachs, where she served as a managing director and head of the Tax Planning Group until her retirement earlier this year.

Harmon has been an active participant and frequent voice in discussions of tax law and policy. She is active in industry associations and has been a frequent speaker at New York and American Bar meetings, Tax Executives Institute, NYU Institute and PLI. Harmon served as a board member of the NYU International Tax Program and on the executive committee of the NYSBA tax section. She was honored to assist Professor Jim Eustice with the fifth addition of the Bittker and Eustice treatise and his book, The Tax Reform Act of 1984, A Selective Analysis.

Harmon was a founding member of the Garrison Financial Institute advisory board at the Walton College and is currently a member of Walton’s Dean’s Executive Advisory Board. She resides in New York City with her son.
