95TH ANNUAL
Commencement Ceremony Saturday, May 12, 2018 Times Union Center, Albany, New York
There’s no place like Saint Rose.
Congratulations, Graduates! WELCOME, CLASS OF 2018! The College of Saint Rose is proud of you. Today you become part of a vast international community of Saint Rose alumni more than 42,000 strong. You will transform lives by teaching, leading organizations, influencing public policy, writing novels, reporting the news, creating art or music, building IT systems, conducting groundbreaking scientific research, or running your own companies. Be fearless, trust your instincts, learn to laugh, and savor each moment as you did at Saint Rose. You are now all proud Saint Rose alumni.
History of the College The College of Saint Rose was founded in 1920 by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet as a Roman Catholic college for women. Its founders selected the name of Saint Rose to honor the first canonized saint in the Americas. The primary academic purpose of the College was the full development of the person through a strong liberal arts curriculum. Initially, emphasis was placed on the professional training of teachers, and this emphasis was later expanded to include preparation for business and other professions. As needs in the Albany area increased, the College revised its programs to meet those needs. An evening division was developed in 1946 to support World War II veterans and reinstituted in 1974 to provide for continuing education. In 1949, a graduate school was added to provide master’s degree programs. Men were admitted to both the original evening and the graduate division and, in 1969, the College became fully coeducational. In 1970, the Board of Trustees was expanded to include laypersons in addition to the Sisters of St. Joseph. With the formal transfer of control to this Board, The College of Saint Rose became an independent college sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, Albany Province.
Mission Statement The College of Saint Rose community engages highly motivated undergraduate and graduate students in rigorous educational experiences. In the progressive tradition of the founding Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, we welcome men and women from all religious and cultural backgrounds. In addition to developing their intellectual capacities, students have the opportunity to cultivate their creative and spiritual gifts in a diverse learning community that fosters integrity, interdependence, and mutual respect. The College delivers distinctive and comprehensive liberal arts and professional programs that inspire our graduates to be productive adults, critical thinkers, and motivated, caring citizens. Our engagement with the urban environment expands the setting for educational opportunities and encourages the Saint Rose community’s energetic involvement and effective leadership in society.
Integrity Statement Honesty, trust, respect, fairness, responsibility, and the free exchange of ideas form the foundation of integrity that supports the entire community at The College of Saint Rose. Faculty, staff, administrators, and students embrace these ideals in all their interactions and communications. Members of the Saint Rose community are committed to developing and implementing clear and fair institutional policies, standards, and practices, applied equitably and humanely. In keeping with its mission, The College of Saint Rose creates a culture that continually fosters the development of personal integrity and promotes ethical behavior throughout the larger society.
Statement of Values The College of Saint Rose values an environment which: Promotes academic excellence; Nurtures respect for, and commitment to, lifelong learning; Strives to achieve a caring, diverse community; Fosters the development of the whole person; Empowers individuals to improve themselves and the world around them; and Reveres its Catholic history, heritage and respect for other traditions.

Parisa Khosravi, Honorary Degree Recipient Retired Senior Vice President for International News Gathering, national news gathering and global relations, CNN Worldwide Founder and President, Payam Global Strategies, global speaking and consulting As a leader of international news for CNN, Parisa Khosravi oversaw coverage of the world’s most dramatic, often tragic, stories. She met with presidents and popes and worked hard to get her reporters safely in and out of war zones, areas of humanitarian crisis, and natural disasters. In her 28-year career at CNN, Khosravi played a key role in coverage that earned numerous Edward R. Murrow Awards, Peabody Awards, Emmys, and other honors. CNN has said that no one has done more to expand its international reach and influence than Khosravi. Khosravi helped open the world’s eyes to the first Gulf War; the fall of the Berlin Wall; the attempted coup in the Soviet Union; the protest in Tiananmen Square; and the Rwandan genocide. She directed coverage of the earthquake in Haiti and the tsunami in South Asia. CNN’s focus on unrest in Syria, which Khosravi directed, represented what the Peabody Awards called “unmatched eyewitness documentation, analysis and context.” Khosravi left CNN in 2015 to start a consulting and global speaking practice that allows her to draw from her experience as an executive, journalist, immigrant, and mother. She has talked about compassionate leadership at NASA, the United Nations, and Delta Airlines. In 2015, she took part in the opening of the Saint Rose Center for International Programs. Her talks examine a wide range of topics, including international affairs and the changing role of the media. They are often personal, as well. Khosravi has said that her greatest challenge has been the one at home.
“I was a journalist for nearly three decades. My joy and passion in journalism was giving voice to the voiceless,” she said during a widely-viewed TedX Talk last year titled, “The Power of Finding Your Voice.” “The irony was that at home I had a much tougher responsibility. My kind and gentle son had no voice.” Khosravi described the years of trying to get her son, Payam, to communicate. Diagnosed with autism at age three, he was non-speaking. Dozens of specialists, using numerous modalities, were unsuccessful. At age 14, however, Payam shocked her when he used a letter board to spell out his thoughts. Today, he uses the letter board and the keyboard to communicate. “Finally, a window has opened up for him to express himself and be able to share his empathy and compassion for others,” said Khosravi, who remains active in helping those on the autism spectrum communicate with the world around them. Born in Tehran, Khosravi’s family immigrated to Chicago in 1979, just before the Iranian revolution. She decided to study journalism while watching reporters cover the release of the American hostages from Iran in 1981. Khosravi earned a bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism from Columbia College in Chicago, and within days went to work at CNN. Starting as a video journalist, she was promoted to playback — loading tape for the air. She moved to assistant assignment editor on the international desk and kept advancing. Under her leadership, CNN opened bureaus and built a highly diverse stable of correspondents throughout the Middle East, South America, Africa, Asia, and Southeast Asia. Khosravi was called “Mother Parisa” at CNN, because of the care and attention she gave for her reporters’ safety and well-being while in war zones and hostile environments. She oversaw the CNN Freedom Project, which exposes modern-day slavery.
“I was a journalist for nearly three decades. My joy and passion was giving voice to the voiceless.” Khrosravi said in a TedX Talk
Today, she is a board member for Callanwold Fine Arts Center and serves on the advisory board for Child Spring and the Iranian – American Women Foundation. Khosravi contributes to Saint Rose as a member of the International Programs Leadership Council, which helps guide global initiatives.
IN RECOGNITION Parisa Khosravi, in a broadcast career that stretched three decades, you shined a light on parts of the world Western news cameras had rarely visited. You opened news bureaus across the continents and enlisted people on those continents to report their stories. As an immigrant, you are aware of the rewards of sharing our perspectives, rather than clashing over them. As a journalist, you have used diplomacy to meet heads of state to ensure reporters are able to travel safely in and out of dangerous areas. As a mother, you have been open in sharing struggles that are familiar to countless people of all ages and nationalities. For giving voice to the voiceless, far away and close to home, The College of Saint Rose is pleased to confer upon you, Parisa Khosravi, the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa, with all its rights and privileges.

The Carondelet Medal This medal is awarded to an individual who, through working in the community, has enabled others to move toward a fuller development of their personhood. Thus is the larger human family nourished. The recipient has shown a commitment to striving for excellence, as well as supporting equal access to education, in keeping with the College’s founding vision. In addition, the recipient is one committed to the Saint Rose tradition of the liberal arts, understood here as education of the whole person, and to those moral and religious values that are consistent with Judeo-Christian tradition. Finally, in conferring this medal, The College of Saint Rose recognizes the individual for exceptional contributions to education, which, in the broadest sense of the word, is the passing on to others that which one has received.

Academic Heraldry The history of academic dress reaches back to the days of the oldest European and British universities. From the basic design of this attire, the American colleges devised a suitable symbolism for academic apparel. The bachelor’s gown has long pointed sleeves, whereas the master’s gown is distinguished by long oblong sleeves; the doctor’s gown is faced along the front with broad velvet panels and has full bell-shaped sleeves, each bearing three horizontal bars of velvet. It is the hood that gives color to the academic costume and identifies the degree awarded. The hood is silk-lined with the colors of the institution conferring the degree. Gold and white are the official colors of The College of Saint Rose. The hood is bordered with velvet of a prescribed width and color to signify respective fields of learning. For example, white for bachelor and master of arts, and golden yellow for bachelor and master of science. Caps worn with bachelor’s and master’s gowns generally have black tassels.

The Road Home, Stephen Paulus Tell me where is the road I can call my own That I left, that I lost so long ago All those years I have wandered, Oh when will I know There’s a way, there’s a road that will lead me home
After wind, after rain, when the dark is done As I wake from a dream in the gold of the day Through the air there’s a calling from far away There’s a voice I can hear that will lead me home
Rise up, follow me, come away is the call With love in your heart as the only song There is no such beauty as where you belong Rise up, follow me, I will lead you home.
