Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave? ALMA MATER ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY Where the bold saguaros Raise their arms on high, Praying strength for brave tomorrows From the western sky; Where eternal mountains Kneel at sunset’s gate, Here we hail thee, Alma Mater, Arizona State. —Hopkins-Dresskell MAROON AND GOLD Fight, Devils down the field Fight with your might and don’t ever yield Long may our colors outshine all others Echo from the buttes, Give em’ hell Devils! Cheer, cheer for A-S-U! Fight for the old Maroon For it’s Hail! Hail! The gang’s all here And it’s onward to victory! Students whose names appear in this program have completed degree requirements.

It is a time of celebration and reflection for students, families, friends, faculty and staff. It brings together a diverse community to share in the joy of accomplished goals. Arizona State University continually demonstrates its dedication to efficiency, technology and sustainability. The full University Commencement program is available to graduates on a reusable external flash drive. This change aligns with our growing institutional efforts to enhance sustainability practices, and our broader endeavors to employ technology in heightened service to our students. The reusable external flash drive, combined with the abridged program distributed at fall ceremonies, yielded a 4.5 million page reduction in the amount of printed materials distributed at ceremonies over the week of graduation activities. To order copies of the final book with all graduates names listed, email your request to [email protected] and someone will respond with payment instructions and order details. 7 MESSAGE FROM THE ARIZONA BOARD OF REGENTS Dear Graduates, On behalf of the Arizona Board of Regents, we congratulate you today on a mo- mentous achievement: your college graduation.

Since then it has become a recognized function of degree granting institutions. Honorary degrees are an opportunity for universities to single out people who have made contributions to society. At ASU, honorary degree recipients are nominated by faculty members. The six-member Academic Affairs Honorary Degrees Committee reviews faculty nominations for the Honorary Degree. It then recommends candidates to the president. The committee is appointed by and responsible to the president. Commencement Commencement Name or Convocation Name or Convocation Frederick M.
