They have recently shown how modifying the profile of immune cell infiltration can facilitate or prevent tissue repair and have demonstrated the power of harnessing mouse genetic diversity to identify new genetic pathways in the varied response to cardiovascular disease. Since 2019, they have turned their expertise in mouse genetics toward creating more precise mouse models for SARS-CoV-2.

Honorary Degree Recipient JoAnn Fritsche JoAnn Fritsche of University Place, Washington was the University of Maine’s first director of equal opportunity and director of the Women’s Development Program. Her vision and leadership transformed the curricula to be more inclusive, and led to the creation of a women’s studies program. The longtime educator and advocate for persons with disAbilities and their families understood that advancing equity and diversity required important changes in practice, such as equal salary, more diverse job candidates, accessible buildings and classrooms, and equitable treatment of and facilities for women student-athletes, as well as a change in culture. Her initiatives were catalysts for cultural changes that still benefit UMaine, including curricula that incorporate the knowledge and experience of underrepresented people into courses and in all fields. In 1972, Fritsche began her professional career at UMaine. She advised the university’s administrators and faculty about how to comply with Titles VI and Titles VII of the Civil Rights Act, and Title IX of the Education Amendments. After the Rehabilitation Act was amended in 1973, she also assumed responsibilities for helping ensure compliance with Sections 503 and 504 to support employees and students with disAbilities. She was a cooperating associate professor of English. Fritsche led an initiative to achieve a more gender- and racially balanced curricula at UMaine in light of scholarship and perspectives of women, as well as men, of diverse racial, ethnic, national and class backgrounds. This work led to the founding of the Women in the Curriculum (WIC) Program in 1982. WIC established a planning committee for a women’s studies program, now the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program. In addition, Fritsche launched a Leadership in Educational Equity Project and wrote the 1985 book, “Toward Excellence & Equity: The Scholarship on Women as a Catalyst for Change in the University.” Fritsche established the Women’s Development Project to reflect the “university’s recognition and support of women’s efforts in economic and human development.” Fritsche moved to the West Coast in 1986 to begin a career in fundraising and volunteer consulting for nonprofits. Since 2020, she has served on the board of directors of the Center for Independence, which promotes service, advocacy and community by people with disabilities, for people with disabilities.

Outstanding Teaching Karl Kreutz

PAST RECIPIENTS

Karl Kreutz is a University of Maine alumnus who joined the faculty in 2000 and was named director of the School of Earth and Climate Sciences in 2021. He teaches both graduate and undergraduate courses, including a first-year Research Learning Experience course focused on geoscience from the Maine coast to Mount Katahdin.

Director and Professor of the School of Earth and Climate Sciences

Kreutz is an internationally recognized researcher in the Climate Change Institute and was recently named University of the Arctic Chair in Arctic Ice, Climate and Environmental History. His research focuses on paleoclimate, glaciology and abrupt climate change. Current projects include high-resolution climate reconstructions in the Arctic, Antarctic and North Atlantic — global research that informs his teaching. In the classroom, in the laboratory and in the field, Kreutz’s objective is to empower students to be lifelong learners, understanding and appreciating scientific habits — from systems thinking and scientific argumentation to open, interdisciplinary collaboration and experiential learning — that they can then put into practice and use beyond the classroom. Students recognize Kreutz’s depth of research experience, and they appreciate his approach to instructor-facilitated, in-class problem-solving and peer dialogue. The methodology helps students, including those involved in research throughout the world, develop the problemsolving and critical thinking skills essential in making their own contributions to today’s profound climate and environmental challenges. Throughout his 20-year teaching career, Kreutz has championed experiential learning and best practices in all levels of teaching, pre-K to graduate level. That level of dedication ranges from collaborating on a Boston Museum of Science immersive exhibition, “Arctic Adventure: Exploring with Technology,” and teaching an online class, ERS107: Energy, Environment and Climate, serving a wide range of students, including Early College students and those fulfilling GenEd requirements, to establishing a statewide partnership with high school Earth science programs to leading this semester’s new 400-level course, Sea-to-Sky Experience, that will take students to Southeast Alaska and the Canadian Yukon in May.

Research and Creative Achievement Xudong Zheng

PAST RECIPIENTS*

Xudong Zheng, who joined the UMaine community in 2012, conducts internationally recognized research in biofluid mechanics and computational fluid dynamics with the potential to inform a range of biological and medical applications. Zheng has developed and utilized advanced computer modeling techniques to improve understanding of the biophysics of various flow-related functions in humans and animals, including the mechanics of speech production.

Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering

His pioneering research in the past decade has led to the development of the first-of-its-kind high-fidelity multiphysics voice production model — computer modeling of phonation to better understand the mechanics of speech production. The biomechanical speech production simulations of flow-related phenomena to understand the underlying physics have long-term implications for the way physicians diagnose and treat speech disorders. Zheng’s research also contributes to fundamental understanding of the relationship between vocal fold biomechanics and voice outcomes, informing voice disorder diagnosis and treatment. His long-term goal is to understand the mechanism that is responsible for the range, complexity and uniqueness of the human voice in order to provide personalized voice care. Zheng’s biophysics research to improve human voice health and to develop innovative simulation-assisted voice care treatment technologies has received funding from the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation and the Novo Nordisk Foundation. His computational modeling and analysis of flow structureacoustics interactions can have multiple applications beyond voice production, such as the detection of heart murmurs generated by the flow-induced motion of heart valves, and the reduction of noise due to the blade-vortex interactions in wind turbines. He has developed innovative computer modeling techniques to study the flow structure-acoustics interaction in the biolocomotion of fish and flying insects that could lead to development of swimming and flying robots, and in collaboration with UMaine researcher Qian Xue, Zheng is investigating the hydrodynamic sensing mechanism associated with seal whisker geometry.

UNIVERSITY OF MAINE DEGREES The University of Maine offers curricula in a wide variety of academic fields leading to baccalaureate, master’s and doctoral degrees. The baccalaureate or bachelor’s degree is awarded to undergraduate students who complete the required program in their respective departments. Master’s and doctoral degrees are awarded to students who complete prescribed graduate study. A Certificate of Advanced Study (C.A.S.) is available for specified graduate study beyond the master’s degree. Undergraduate degrees with Latin honors are conferred at Commencement for the following attainments of rank: summa cum laude: 3.7 GPA; magna cum laude: 3.5 GPA; cum laude: 3.3 GPA. The university bases the GPA on the student’s work at the University of Maine, and that must amount to at least 60 credits or 50 percent of the total degree credits required in the program of study, whichever is greater. Students graduating from the Honors College are conferred baccalaureate degrees with the designation of honors, high honors or highest honors. In order to receive a degree with honors, a student must complete the honors general education curriculum, which includes the four-course civilizations sequence, as well as a tutorial and two semesters of research leading to the successful defense of the honors thesis. Degrees are awarded at the end of the semester or session in which degree requirements have been completed, not necessarily accompanied by Commencement ceremonies.

HONORS COLLEGE First-year students are invited to join the Honors College at the University of Maine based on academic achievement in high school. In their first and second year preceptorials taught by a diverse faculty, students gain a broad knowledge base and critical thinking skills that are hallmarks of a liberal education. They also lay the foundation for more specialized work in their disciplines in the last two years. The Honors College curriculum culminates in a thesis completed during the senior year that focuses on an independent project in the student’s major area of interest. Following successful completion of the Honors College curriculum, student work is formally recognized with the designation of honors, high honors or highest honors. Honors College graduates wear a medallion with the honors logo and Latin motto Studium eruditionis ardescens — igniting a passion for learning.

ACADEMIC REGALIA As early as the 12th century, the first modern universities at Bologna and Paris were the centers of European learning. The usual garb of the time for both churchmen and laymen was a long gown, necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings of the day. Scholars, generally members of church orders, wore such robes, as well as hoods to protect their shaved heads. Later, skull caps were worn on the head and the hood became a cape that could be pulled over the head in unpleasant weather. The hood was also sometimes used to collect alms from the more affluent members of the community. As more universities were founded, distinctive forms of the gown and hood were adopted by their faculties. Variations indicated various ranks within the institutions. Strict rules were published, and sometimes tailors who departed from the authorized design were punished.

or schools of the institution. The gonfalon for each college usually precedes the graduates as they enter the ceremony. Distinguished graduates or faculty may carry gonfalons for their specific colleges. At UMaine, they represent the colleges, Maine Business School, the Division of Lifelong Learning and the Graduate School. The University Crest on the gonfalon embodies the history of the University of Maine and its position as the state’s flagship university. THE MACE Originally a weapon of offense used in medieval warfare, the mace has been refined into a symbolic device used on ceremonial occasions. The design of the University of Maine’s mace was suggested by members of the Department of Art’s spring 1996 sculpture class. The mace is carried in an upright position into the ceremony. During the ceremony, the mace rests in its stand in full view of the assembly as the emblem of authority. At the recession, the mace is carried in a downward position to represent the completion of the ceremony.

The academic hat was a later development adapted from the headdress of ordinary people. Academically, it was originally worn as a symbol of the master’s degree and existed in various forms: some were round, some square, and some had a tuft in the center. The flat, square mortarboard of today originated in Oxford.

THE CAP The mortarboard cap, worn flat on the head with one corner of the square facing the front, has a tassel that may be black or the color assigned to the field of study. Doctors in all fields may wear a tassel of metallic gold. Some institutions have adopted the biretta or tam (for doctoral degrees) instead of the mortarboard.

Academic costume came to America in 1754 with the founding of King’s College, now Columbia University. Styles became quite varied, as they were in Europe, but in 1895, a group of American college and university representatives met to establish a uniform system of academic apparel for this country. This led to the establishment in 1902 of an “Intercollegiate Code of Academic Costume.” The American Council on Education formed a committee in 1932 to review the code, and it was again reviewed and revised in 1960.

THE HOOD The institution by which the degree was awarded and the field of study in which the degree was earned are represented by the hood. The lining of the hood identifies the institution that awarded the degree. The length of the hood and the width of its border vary in relation to the degree held.

THE GONFALON The gonfalon is a flag or banner that hangs from a crosspiece or frame. It originated in the medieval states of Italy as an ensign of state or office. It is used in many university ceremonies to designate the various colleges

THE GOWN The cut of the gown indicates whether the wearer holds a bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree. The bachelor’s gown is a simple, unornamented robe with bell-shaped sleeves. The master’s gown is more elaborate with long sleeves closed at the end, with the arm passing through a slit above the elbow. The doctoral robe is ornamented with three bars on each sleeve and panels on the front. The standard color of the robe is black, although some institutions have adopted other colors.
