Message from the Dean BARBARA K. RIMER, DrPH, MPH Many of you also worked one or more jobs. On top of that, you held leadership roles in Student Government, Student Global Health Committee, Minority Student Caucus and other organizations. You served on our Diversity and Inclusion Task Force. You led the 32nd annual Minority Health Conference and raised funds for important causes. You played public health bingo, cleaned up the environment at home and abroad, and volunteered with many service organizations. We hope you will continue to volunteer; you will be important members of your communities.

Dear Graduates and Guests, Congratulations, new graduates of the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health! You did it! We welcome you as alumni and colleagues and are proud of your accomplishments. Thanks to the parents, faculty members, staff, relatives, classmates and friends who helped you.
You exemplify global citizenship with a 21st century twist — the ability to fuse global and local in a seamless manner. You are John F. Kennedy’s "citizens of the world." With your degrees and 21st century communication tools, your words and actions can echo around the world. Nelson Mandela said, "Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world." You now are armed with the knowledge, skills, passion and commitment to change the world for the better — to make it safer, healthier and more just. Wherever you go, the Gillings School of Global Public Health is your home forever. Tell us what you are doing, let us know how we can help you, mentor our students, support the School, and please, come back and visit. I have really enjoyed getting to know some of you. We will miss you! With best wishes for your journey forward,
Today is a poignant mix of endings and new beginnings. Savor this moment. Celebrate your accomplishments! The future is not certain nor has it ever been. Yet, it is a world that has become acutely aware of the need for public health. Never have you been needed more than today. You are amazing. You make things happen; you solve problems. Like our School, you accelerate solutions to public health problems in North Carolina and around the world. You conducted inspiring research. You mastered courses, passed difficult exams, presented at major conferences, authored and co-authored papers that were published in peer-reviewed journals, and wrote master’s theses and doctoral dissertations. You competed in student academic case competitions and took home prizes. You were recognized by your departments, School, University and communities.

When Dr. Regina Benjamin established a medical clinic for uninsured residents of a small fishing village along the Gulf Coast of Alabama in 1990, she could not have predicted the storms she would weather or the obstacles she would conquer on her way to becoming the 18th surgeon general of the United States. After Hurricane Georges destroyed the clinic in 1998, Dr. Benjamin made house calls in her pickup truck while the clinic was rebuilt. Hurricane Katrina destroyed the clinic again in 2005, and one day before the scheduled reopening in 2006, a devastating fire destroyed it a third time. Often putting up her own money to cover expenses, Benjamin persevered, and today the clinic resides in a small brick building next to City Hall. When President Barack Obama nominated her for the position of surgeon general in 2009, he said she had survived "floods and fires and severe want" and "refused to give up."
In 1995, she was the first physician under age 40 and the first African-American woman to be elected to the American Medical Association’s board of trustees. In 2002, she became president of the Medical Association of the State of Alabama, making her the first AfricanAmerican female president of a state medical society in the United States. She also has been on the boards of dozens of academies and organizations. Dr. Benjamin’s accolades are many. In 1998, she received the Nelson Mandela Award for Health and Human Rights. She was named by Time magazine as one of the “Nation’s 50 Future Leaders Age 40 and Under,” chosen as “Person of the Week” on ABC’s World News Tonight with Peter Jennings and selected “Woman of the Year" by CBS’ This Morning. In 2008, she was tapped for the MacArthur “Genius” Fellows Program. Nationally prominent for her business acumen, humane approach to preventive medicine and work to overcome health disparities, Benjamin aims to provide the public with the best scientific information available to help individuals improve their health and the health of the nation. In addition, she oversees the operational command of 6,500 uniformed health officers who serve the U.S. Public Health Service in locations around the world to promote, protect and advance the health of the American people.
The first member of her family to attend medical school, Dr. Benjamin stated, “I had never seen a black doctor before I went to college.” She earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Xavier University in New Orleans, her medical degree from the University of Alabama in Birmingham and a master’s degree in business administration from Tulane University. Benjamin’s credentials go far beyond the bayou, however. She also attended Morehouse School of Medicine, completed her family medicine residency in Macon, Ga., and received eleven honorary doctorates through the years. She has served as associate dean for rural health at the University of South Alabama’s College of Medicine and was chair of the Federation of State Medical Boards, a national nonprofit organization representing the 70 medical boards in the United States and its territories.

Notes on Academic Dress The following information, condensed from An Academic Costume Code and Ceremony Guide published by the American Council on Education, may be helpful in identifying academic attire worn during today’s ceremony. The bachelor’s gown, designed to be worn closed, has pointed sleeves. The master’s gown, which may be worn open or closed, has an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist, that hangs nearly to the ground; the back part of its oblong shape is cut square and the arc in the front is cut away. Bachelors’ and masters’ gowns are untrimmed. The doctor’s gown may be worn open or closed, and has bell-shaped sleeves. Doctors’ gowns are usually faced with black velvet, with three bars across the sleeves, although the color of the velvet may vary according to the field of study. Some doctoral candidates may wear a unique Carolina blue gown that features dark blue facings and crossbars outlined in white piping and bearing the University’s shield supported by torches of learning. Hoods, which differ in length for the three degrees, are lined with official colors of the university or college that conferred the degree, usually with one color forming a chevron pattern over the other. Hoods also are edged and bound with velvet in the color appropriate to the field of study. The colors in the hoods and gowns of faculty represent the following fields in which degrees were earned: Apricot: Nursing Brown: Fine Arts Citron: Social Work Crimson: Journalism Dark Blue: Philosophy Golden Yellow: Science Green: Medicine Lemon Yellow: Library Science Light Blue: Education Lilac: Dentistry Olive Green: Pharmacy Orange: Engineering Peacock Blue: Public Administration Pink: Music Purple: Law Sage Green: Physical Education Salmon Pink: Public Health Scarlet: Theology Yellow Brown: Commerce, Business, Accountancy White: Arts, Letters, Humanities

Principles of the Ethical Practice of Public Health These principles were developed by the Center for Health Leadership & Practice, Public Health Institute, members of the original Public Health Leadership Society Ethics Work Group, and the current Public Health Leadership Society standing committee on Public Health Ethics (www.phls.org). The American Public Health Association has adopted these principles.
1. Public health should address principally the fundamental causes of disease and requirements for health, aiming to prevent adverse health outcomes.
7. Public health institutions should act in a timely manner on the information they have within the resources and the mandate given to them by the public.
2. Public health should achieve community health in a way that respects the rights of individuals in the community.
8. Public health programs and policies should incorporate a variety of approaches that anticipate and respect diverse values, beliefs, and cultures in the community.
3. Public health policies, programs, and priorities should be developed and evaluated through processes that ensure an opportunity for input from community members. 4. Public health should advocate and work for the empowerment of disenfranchised community members, aiming to ensure that the basic resources and conditions necessary for health are accessible to all. 5. Public health should seek the information needed to implement effective policies and programs that protect and promote health. 6. Public health institutions should provide communities with the information they have that is needed for decisions on policies or programs and should obtain the community’s consent for their implementation.
9. Public health programs and policies should be implemented in a manner that most enhances the physical and social environment. 10. Public health institutions should protect the confidentiality of information that can bring harm to an individual or community if made public. Exceptions must be justified on the basis of the high likelihood of significant harm to the individual or others. 11. Public health institutions should ensure the professional competence of their employees. 12. Public health institutions and their employees should engage in collaborations and affiliations in ways that build the public’s trust and the institution’s effectiveness.
Universal Declaration of Human Rights United Nations, 1948 preamble
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world, Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people, Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law… For the rest of the preamble and its 30 articles, visit http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/.
