Please meet your graduate outside on the Tacoma Dome plaza.

Congratulations to the UW Tacoma class of 2017! You are stepping into the front ranks of more than 20,000 UW Tacoma alumni. You are more than 1,700 strong, and your strength is reflected in the diversity of your backgrounds and your experiences. No matter where you have come from, no matter how you got here, this is your red-letter day.

Each of you—bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral—through your time as a student at UW Tacoma, is the recipient of a gift that keeps on giving: the vital distillation of a community’s ambition for public higher education in the South Sound.

And now, you, newly-minted University of Washington degree-holders, have a responsibility to fuel the fire of that ambition. You will go out into the community—as workers, voters, parents, caregivers, partners, and maybe even as students again—and you will be the sparks that ignite another round of aspirations.

We who applaud you today know that you will do this, and it is what makes us so proud of you. We have been changed by your journey through UW Tacoma, just as you have, and we thank you for that.

Welcome

community engagement AWARD

Dr. Christine Stevens, Associate Professor, Nursing and Healthcare Leadership, uses participatory research to examine how structural disadvantages affect health, housing and food security, especially among low-income and adolescent populations. She develops long-term relationships with communities and partners with residents to develop interventions that are relevant at the local level.

Dr. Stevens’s projects are representative of the highimpact, community-engaged practices at the center of UW Tacoma’s mission. Recently she has applied her expertise to the challenges of homelessness and food insecurity among UW Tacoma students. Her experience with these issues in the broader community has proved invaluable in delineating the scale and scope of the problem, and identifying the resources to address it.

DISTINGUISHED research AWARD

Dr. Marian Harris, Professor, Social Work and Criminal Justice, has established herself as an effective national-level leader and scholar in the discipline of social work with research on the disproportionate number of children of color and their families involved in the child welfare system. Her research has shaped policy addressing racial disproportionality in child welfare in the state of Washington.

More recently, Dr. Harris received a $7.5 million grant to support re-entry programming and services for parents during and after incarceration to lower their rates of recidivism and facilitate healthy parenting. In 2016 she was recognized by the National Association of Social Workers with the Educator of the Year Award.

DISTINGUISHED teaching AWARD

Dr. Divya McMillin, Professor, School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences, is the executive director of the Institute for Global Engagement and the Global Honors Program. Her courses focus on media globalization, children and television, gender, ethnicity, class and the media, and media ethics.

Dr. McMillin has shown an impressive leadership role in advancing the needs of UW Tacoma students. She developed multiple courses and recruited several faculty for UW Tacoma’s communication major. As the founding executive director of the Institute for Global Engagement, she has overseen the development of the IGE Student Engagement Program, a series of community engagements and experiential learning opportunities intended to enrich students' understanding of real-world dynamics.

HOnorary degree

Honorary degrees recognize those who have made profound and enduring contributions to scholarship, culture, and improved quality of life in society at large. This is the first honorary degree bestowed by UW Tacoma.

The honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters will be conferred upon William W. Philip, Tacoma civic leader, philanthropist and visionary founding supporter of the University of Washington Tacoma.

Mr. Philip, who recently turned 90, has humbly and quietly commanded the respect of every UW Tacoma chancellor and of the leading citizens of Washington for many years. Widely regarded as a founding father of the UW Tacoma, Mr. Philip attended the University of Washington, became a successful banking executive and in the 1980s was among a small group of civic leaders who spearheaded the effort to persuade the Legislature and the UW to establish a new campus in Tacoma.

Student speaker (Purple ceremony)

Titania “TK” DeBell graduates today with a B.A. in Healthcare Leadership. She is a first-generation college student, and a single mom with two boys who works full time while going to school. She transferred to UW Tacoma from Green River College. She serves as the Family Programs Coordinator for the Student Activities Board, and has an internship with HopeSparks, the Pierce County social services agency. TK’s dream is to get an advanced degree in the field of pediatrics. She has a simple mantra, which gets her over the many obstacles life attempts to put in her way: “I am determined. I believe I can do it.”

Chancellor’s Medal

The Chancellor’s Medal recognizes an individual who has been a consistent source of inspiration for faculty and fellow students alike, and who has overcome significant obstacles in order to complete a degree.

Regina Harper graduates today with a degree in criminal justice. Her life took a radical turn when she was diagnosed in 2013 with a chronic illness that ended her heathcare career. Enrolling at UW Tacoma in order to retool herself, she followed her passion for equity and justice among disadvantaged populations. Her journey included internships and volunteerism with Pierce County’s juvenile justice center, the Tacoma Rescue Mission and the state Department of Social and Health Services. She received a Study Abroad Award and spent time studying crime and delinquency in the Netherlands. In 2016, she was named to the Husky 100, a tri-campus honor that recognizes students who are making the most of their time at UW.

Student speaker (GOLD CEREMONY)

Madeline Claire Pattin graduated in March 2017 with a B.A. in Business Administration from the Milgard School of Business and a minor in Nonprofit Studies. Maddie has been a volunteer at FISH Food Banks (now known as Nourish Pierce County), the largest network of food banks in Pierce County, since sixth grade. She served an internship with the Tacoma Rescue Mission, and, as part of UW Tacoma’s board governance class, she served on the board of the Children’s Museum of Tacoma. She has also been a longtime volunteer with Young Life, a Christian youth ministry. With her degree in nonprofit management, she hopes to pursue a career in the field of social services.

president’s Medal

The President’s Medal recipient is selected from graduating seniors with the most distinguished academic record. This year’s medalist earned a 3.97 GPA.

Taylor Claussen Jones graduates today with a doublemajor B.A. in Sustainable Urban Development and Communication, and a certificate in Geographic Information Systems. She intends to pursue a career in urban planning. While at UW Tacoma, she served on Civitas and Project Earth, two student organizations, and worked on conceiving, developing and fundraising for the SHED (a sustainably-constructed education center) in the Giving Garden. She served as a member of the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Sustainability and worked as a research assistant for the campus’s Carbon Challenge Project. Most recently she interned for the City of Tacoma long-range planning department, developing an industrial lands inventory and a report on manufacturing trends in the city’s port lands.

ABOUT THE MACE

University of Washington ceremonial occasions begin with the entrance of the University Mace, carried by the faculty marshal, Associate Professor J. Mark Pendras of Urban Studies. A mace was originally a weapon used by mounted knights for protection. It since has become a symbol of authority indicating that the proceedings to follow have official sanction. The current mace was presented to the University by the Alumni Association in 1961.

ACADEMIC REGALIA

The academic dress worn by scholars originated in the Middle Ages. When European universities were taking form in the 12th and 13th centuries, the scholars usually were clerics as well, and they adopted dress similar to that of their monastic orders. Buildings were cold and drafty, so caps and warm, floor-length capes with hoods were necessities. As control of education passed from the churches, the dress was modified in various ways, and there was great diversity in the color and style of cap, gown and hood worn at different institutions. In 1895 a standardized code of academic dress was established that is followed by most colleges and universities in the United States.

At the University of Washington, the bachelor’s and master’s gowns are black. The doctoral gowns are purple with purple and gold hoods and are distinguished by three velvet chevrons on each sleeve. The matching mortarboard or tam has a long tassel, and is worn over the left side of the cap. The colors of tassels or hoods are distinctive of the candidate’s academic program (in most cases). Honor cords identify students who are graduating with academic honors and are worn loosely around the neck and hang down in the front.
