Commencement Speaker The Reverend Dr. Karen L. Wood Chaplain, Willamette University
After 19 years, Dr. Wood joins the Class of 2021 in saying goodbye to Willamette at the end of this academic year. Karen Wood became Willamette University’s chaplain and associate professor of religious studies in June 2012 following ten years as associate chaplain for vocational exploration and director of the Lilly Project for Theological, Ethical and Spiritual Exploration of Vocation. In that role, Wood worked with students to discern purpose and meaning for their lives. As Willamette’s spiritual leader, Wood has been referred to by many as the “heart and soul” of the Willamette community. She is known for her compassion and for holding the institution accountable to the ideals of justice and equity.

In addition to her work as University Chaplain, Wood has taught courses in Religious Studies and has led the Convocation class that organizes lunchtime discussions for the community around big ideas. In 2019, she chaired the task force that created the First-Year Experience, a network of classes, programming, and relationships that help first-year students develop skills and habits that will enable their success and belonging at Willamette. She is a past president of the National Association of College and University Chaplains, and has served as a mentor for chaplains in higher education. Before coming to Willamette, Wood served as dean of students at Union Theological Seminary in New York City and at the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland. An ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, she holds a B.A. from Brown University and an M.Div. and Th.D. from Harvard University. After graduating with the Willamette Class of ’21, she will be spending more time in the mountains and desert, searching for the elusive North American Bearcat.

Honorary Degree Recipient and Commencement Speaker John B. Cobb, Jr. Author
John B. Cobb, Jr. is an American philosopher, theologian and environmentalist who is often cited as one of the most important North American theologians of the 20th century. Author of more than 50 books, he is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, one of the nation’s highest honors. He is also a founding co-director of the Center for Process Studies and Professor Emeritus of Claremont’s School of Theology and Graduate University. A unifying theme of Cobb’s work is his emphasis on ecological interdependence— that every part of the ecosystem is reliant on all the other parts. Cobb argues humanity’s most urgent task is to preserve the world on which it lives and depends, an idea which his primary influence, Alfred North Whitehead, describes as “world-loyalty.”
Senior Class Speaker
In 1971, he wrote the first single-author book in environmental ethics, “Is It Too Late? A Theology of Ecology,” which argued for the relevance of religious thought in approaching the ecological crisis. In 1989, he co-authored with Herman Daly, “For the Common Good: Redirecting the Economy Toward Community, Environment, and a Sustainable Future,” which critiqued current global economic practice and advocated for a sustainable, ecology-based economics. He has written extensively on religious pluralism and interfaith dialogue, particularly between Buddhism and Christianity, as well as the need to reconcile religion and science.

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.

Song of Willamette Text compiled from the Freshman Glee archives and the Alma Mater. Music by Dylan Librande ’16. Ending adapted from Ode to Willamette by F.S. Mendenhall Hail to our dear Willamette, to the card’nal and the gold. Glory to our Alma Mater blest with memories untold. Your teaching in the years to come will guide in all we do, and to your praise we’ll always sing, for we’re Willamette too.
So hail, our dear Willamette! Hail the car’nal and the gold! Glory to our Alma Mater blest with memories untold! Sing, oh, sing of dear Willamette, sing while hearts are young and true, sea to sea the chorus swelling. Hail to thee, Willamette U!
There are those who’ve gone before us, still more to carry on. Year by year we add new voices to swell our mighty song. Hopes and fears through out the year we’ll never face alone, for old Willamette we will hear you calling us back home.

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, is currently working with a research firm in Washington, D.C.

In Memoriam George Marc Choate
Larry Oberg
October 7, 1939 – September 11, 2020
June 20, 1933 – November 6, 2020
Marc Choate was Emeritus Professor of Economics and Finance at the Atkinson Graduate School of Management. His students and colleagues describe him as quirky (in a good way) and intelligent, a committed teacher and colleague. They cite him as having had an enormous influence on the development of AGSM . His research and teaching in health care financial management benefited the larger community through his service on the board of trustees of Salem Hospital. His obituary lists amongst his survivors "his many graduate students, primarily from Atkinson Graduate School of Management, who have enriched his life and for whom he has always wished a good life."
Written by Karen Wood for BOT meeting: Larry was the University Librarian from 1992 to 2003, a time of much change and growth for the Hatfield Library. Under Larry's guidance and spirit of innovation, the library embraced technology. He brought Willamette into consortia with other libraries and played an active role in his profession, writing many frequentlycited articles. In 2001 he was recognized by the Association of College Research Libraries for having produced two of the one hundred most highly cited publications in academic library literature. His Hatfield colleagues remember and appreciate him for his support of staff and his wit.
Robert Smith ’53
Gary Gislason
June 16, 1931 – September 21, 2020
January 1, 1942 – December 11, 2020 Following his retirement as professor of mathematics at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Gary taught for another ten years as an adjunct faculty member at Willamette. During his time at UAF, Gary was instrumental in the math department’s innovative Distance Education effort, which involved travel to remote villages in northern Alaska to teach.
Susan Hammer JD ’76 December 14, 1948 – August 26, 2020 Susan served on Willamette’s Board of Trustees from 1999-2012 and was a devoted supporter of the university, particularly the College of Law, and served in many capacities to support and further the work of the law school. In 1991, she was honored by Willamette with an Alumni Citation for Distinguished Achievement in Law & Public-Service. She served on the boards of Oregon Public Broadcasting and the Pacific Northwest College of Art and in 2007 Oregon Business named her one of the 50 Great Leaders for Oregon. Planned Parenthood Columbia-Willamette’s Susan Hammer Award for Transformational Leadership was named in her honor to recognize her leadership as chair of the organization’s board during a time when they grew from five to nine health care centers.
