Willamette University Commencement 2018
Theodore R. Kulongoski Former Governor of Oregon Theodore R. (Ted) Kulongoski served as the 36th governor of Oregon and has the rare distinction of having served in all three branches of the Oregon state government. While practicing law, he was elected to the Oregon House of Representatives in 1975 and the State Senate in 1978. In 1987, he was appointed Oregon Insurance Commissioner. He was elected Oregon attorney general in 1992 and to the Oregon Supreme Court in 1997, where he served until mid-2001.
Kulongoski was sworn in as governor in January 2003 and re-elected to the position in 2006. Kulongoski changed the way Oregon budgets, building a principlebased budget designed to establish fiscal stability while delivering measurable returns. He took the lead on renewable energy by pushing for generous tax subsidies for wind farms and solar manufacturers and by establishing a new standard that will require 25 percent of the state’s electricity to come from renewable sources by 2025. He won passage of bills that prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gave broad rights to same-sex couples in civil unions and also increased money for college scholarships. In addition, his “healthy kids” plan provided coverage for more than 60,000 uninsured residents under the age of 19.

Willamette University Commencement 2018
Commencement Speaker and Honorary Degree Recipient Thomas M. Lauderdale Honorary Doctor of Fine Arts Thomas Lauderdale is a musician known largely for his work with the Portlandbased band he founded, Pink Martini. He has appeared as soloist with numerous orchestras and ensembles, including the Oregon Symphony, the Seattle Symphony, the Portland Youth Philharmonic, Chamber Music Northwest and Oregon Ballet Theatre. Lauderdale has been active in Oregon politics since he was a student at U.S. Grant High School where he was student body president. In 1991, he worked under Portland City Commissioner
Gretchen Kafoury on the drafting and passage of the city’s civil rights ordinance. He graduated with honors from Harvard with a degree in History and Literature in 1992. Instead of running for political office, Lauderdale founded the “little orchestra,” Pink Martini, in 1994 to provide more beautiful and inclusive musical soundtracks for political fundraisers for causes such as civil rights, affordable housing, cleaning up the Willamette River, funding for libraries, public broadcasting, education and parks. Crossing genres of classical, jazz and pop, Pink Martini performs its multilingual repertoire on concert stages and with symphony orchestras throughout the world. Lauderdale currently serves on the boards of the Oregon Symphony, Pioneer Courthouse Square, the Oregon Historical Society, Confluence Project with Maya Lin and the Derek Rieth Foundation.
Honorary Degree Recipients Theodore R. Kulongoski
Honorary Doctor of Public Service
Honorary Doctor of Laws
Hazel Patton is a community leader, activist and historic preservationist who has inspired and motivated thousands in the Salem community for over forty years.
Theodore R. (Ted) Kulongoski served as the 36th governor of Oregon and has the rare distinction of having served in all three branches of the Oregon state government.
Patton was instrumental in establishing four historic districts in Salem. She is considered “Mother of the Elsinore” for her work saving the downtown historic theater from demolition. She also halted plans to level the Oregon State Hospital building and then helped create the museum there. Patton’s passion for connecting people to the Willamette River that runs through Salem is evidenced by her cofounding Movies in the Park; her work as chair of Friends of Two Bridges that resulted in bicycle and pedestrian bridges connecting Riverfront and Wallace Marine parks; and founding the crown jewel of the park, Salem’s Riverfront Carousel — a six-year project that involved hundreds of volunteer carvers, painters, architects, contractors, builders, writers and fundraisers.
While practicing law, he was elected to the Oregon House of Representatives in 1975 and the State Senate in 1978. In 1987, he was appointed Oregon Insurance Commissioner. He was elected Oregon attorney general in 1992 and to the Oregon Supreme Court in 1997, where he served until mid-2001.
Patton was recognized as a Distinguished Service Award recipient by the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce in 1994 and in 2014 she received the chamber’s First Citizen Award for her legacy of community service and leadership.
Kulongoski was sworn in as governor in January 2003 and re-elected to the position in 2006. Kulongoski changed the way Oregon budgets, building a principle-based budget designed to establish fiscal stability while delivering measurable returns. He took the lead on renewable energy by pushing for generous tax subsidies for wind farms and solar manufacturers and by establishing a new standard that will require 25 percent of the state’s electricity to come from renewable sources by 2025. He won passage of bills that prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gave broad rights to same-sex couples in civil unions and also increased money for college scholarships. In addition, his “healthy kids” plan provided coverage for more than 60,000 uninsured residents under the age of 19.

Academic Regalia The style of academic regalia most commonly worn in the United States dates back to colonial times, although it was not formally adopted until near the end of the 19th century, when it was chosen as appropriate attire by the Intercollegiate Commission. It has remained the general standard in America since, although some variations occur at individual institutions. THE GOWN The gown has become symbolic of the democracy of scholarship, because it covers any dress of rank or social standing. In the United States, black is the traditional color for academic gowns, although some institutions allow holders of doctoral degrees to wear robes in the university’s colors. Gowns have pointed sleeves for the bachelor’s degree, long closed sleeves with a slit in the arm or wrist for the master’s degree, and full bell double sleeves for the doctor’s degree. Bachelor’s and master’s degree gowns have no trimming. For the doctor’s degree, the gown is often faced down the front with velvet,
with three bars of velvet across the sleeves usually in black or of a color distinctive of the faculty or discipline to which the degree pertains. THE CAP When Roman law freed a slave, it accorded the privilege of wearing a cap. And so the academic cap is a sign of freedom of scholarship and the responsibility and dignity with which scholarship endows the wearer. The cap of scholarship is square to symbolize the book. The color of the tassel denotes the discipline. THE HOOD The hood is trimmed with one or more chevrons of a secondary color on the ground of the primary color of the college. The color facing of the hood denotes the discipline represented by the degree; the color of the lining designates the university or college from which the degree was granted.

Willamette University President Stephen E. Thorsett was raised in Salem. He earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics, summa cum laude, from Carleton College and his doctoral degree in physics from Princeton University. As an astrophysicist, he helped develop two of NASA’s orbiting telescopes, and he and his team discovered the oldest known planet, called Methuselah. He has held research and teaching positions at Caltech, Princeton and the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he was dean of the science division and founder of their California Teach program for training new math and science teachers.
Since 2011, Thorsett has been the president of Willamette University, where as a teenager he worked in the dishroom. At Willamette, his goals include strengthening the university’s historic connections to Oregon and the Northwest, solidifying its position as a leader in our region for rigorous, high quality undergraduate, management and legal education, and raising the resources needed to provide access to a Willamette education for the most talented high school graduates, regardless of their financial means. Thorsett lives in Salem with his wife, Rachel, also a physicist. Their daughter, Laura, will graduate from Harvard Collegein May.
