ABOUT DEPAUL UNIVERSITY

DePaul is the largest Catholic university and the 13th-largest private, not-for-profit institution of higher learning in the country. The university enrolls about 23,800 students in 10 colleges and schools and offers a wide range of academic and professional programs on four Chicago-area campuses. DePaul’s reach extends internationally, from degree programs offered in Kenya to study-abroad opportunities around the globe. With Chicago, the metropolitan area and the world as its classroom, DePaul has a reputation for innovative courses and personalized instruction. The university is the hub of an innovative and diverse community that enables students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends to advance personally, professionally and intellectually.

Founded by Vincentian Fathers in 1898 to teach the children of immigrants, DePaul remains committed to students from a broad range of cultural backgrounds, especially first-generation and non-traditional students. Named for and inspired by the life of St. Vincent de Paul, the university has a distinctive mission: to foster through higher education a deep respect for the God-given dignity of all persons, especially the materially, culturally and spiritually deprived; and to instill in its students a dedication to the service of others.

DePaul’s distinguished colleges and schools are known for the excellence of their academic programs and the achievement and success of their students. The College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences encompasses more than 45 undergraduate and graduate degree programs and is home to 10 centers and institutes. Students can pursue studies in such areas as media art, creative or professional writing, ethics, geographical information systems, forensic archaeology, international relations, public health, or a second language. They develop communication and problem-solving skills as well as intercultural competencies valued highly by prospective employers.

DePaul established the College of Science and Health in the 2011–12 academic year. The college departments include the natural sciences, health science, mathematics, nursing and psychology, as well as five centers, including the Center for Community Research and the DePaul Family and Community Services. Students pursue programs that take advantage of opportunities in science and health care fields.

The College of Law has been a prominent part of the Chicago legal community for more than a century. Nationally known for its intellectual property law, health law and public interest programs, the college offers a robust curriculum including three full-time JD programs and a variety of certificates, joint degrees and graduate programs. Through its academic centers, students and faculty work together in a wide range of disciplines to advance the law.

The Driehaus College of Business and its Kellstadt Graduate School of Business offer respected programs of business study that provide real-world knowledge and connections for career advancement. The college houses programs that are nationally recognized, including three top-10 rankings for its accountancy programs based on a TaxTalent survey of hiring managers and top-25 rankings for its undergraduate and graduate entrepreneurship programs from the Princeton Review.

The College of Computing and Digital Media offers a wide range of practical and innovative undergraduate and graduate degree programs. The college houses the School of Computing, which features cutting-edge

technical degrees in computing, security, and computer game and web development; the School of Cinematic Arts, which showcases cinema, animation and screenwriting degrees; and the School of Design, which features degrees in graphic, game and web design.

The College of Education’s primary mission is to prepare students to become teachers, educational leaders and counselors. Partnerships with the Chicago Public Schools, the archdiocese, charter and private schools as well as with social service agencies have enhanced the experiences of faculty, our students and those Chicagoland individuals whose lives they touch.

The School for New Learning is an internationally recognized leader in educating adults, offering flexible undergraduate and graduate programs. It pioneered individualized degree programs, online learning for adult students, the assessment of learning outside the classroom, and competence-based education. Its inventive approach to education has been used as a model around the world.

Dedicated to excellence in music teaching and performance, the School of Music’s distinguished faculty includes members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Lyric Opera.

The Theatre School, founded as the Goodman School of Drama, is one of America’s oldest and most respected theatre training schools. A new facility to house The Theatre School opened in 2013 as part of DePaul’s ambitious redevelopment of its Lincoln Park Campus.

The College of Communication offers programs in areas such as relational, organizational and intercultural communication, journalism, media and cinema studies, and public relations and advertising. A diverse and prestigious roster of faculty with extensive academic, industry and international experience, along with cutting-edge curricula and award-winning programs and student-led organizations, have positioned the college as one of the top places to study communication.

The university’s tradition of educational achievement is complemented by a strong commitment to public service. DePaul’s Irwin W. Steans Center for Community-based Service Learning has earned national accolades for integrating academics and community service. The center supports more than 3,400 service-learning students a year in more than 180 courses from across DePaul’s colleges and schools.

DePaul’s 15 intercollegiate men’s and women’s athletic teams are members of the NCAA Division I, BIG EAST Conference. In 2015, the women’s basketball team won its second BIG EAST tournament championship and marked its 13th consecutive appearance in the NCAA tournament. Undefeated in the regular season, the 2014 women’s soccer team claimed the BIG EAST tournament championship and advanced to the program’s third NCAA tournament. Numerous DePaul teams claimed BIG EAST Team Academic Excellence Awards in recent years.

This year’s graduates and DePaul’s more than 167,000 living alumni are linked by more than the valuable degrees they receive on commencement day. DePaul’s graduates have succeeded in a learning environment that values both academic achievement and community responsibility—values that will remain with them throughout their lives and careers as they carry on the heritage of St. Vincent de Paul.

6 | DEPAUL UNIVERSITY

THE VINCENTIAN CHARACTERDePaul, a Catholic, Vincentian and urban university, takes its name from Saint Vincent de Paul. The religious community founded by Saint Vincent, commonly known as “Vincentians,” established the university and endowed it with a distinctive spirit: to foster in higher education a deep respect for the God-given dignity of all persons, especially the materially, culturally and spiritually deprived, and to instill in educated persons a dedication to the service of others. The women and men of DePaul have retained this spirit as a highly valued heritage and a vital influence in every succeeding generation of the university’s development.

SAINT VINCENT DE PAULSaint Vincent de Paul (1581–1660), for whom the university is named, lived in seventeenth century France. He was a compassionate and deeply spiritual priest who dedicated his life to serving the poor. He founded the Congregation of the Mission, commonly known as the Vincentians. This is the Roman Catholic religious community that established and continues to sponsor DePaul University.

Vincent brought together and inspired groups of like-minded women and men to join him in addressing the needs of the poor and the reasons for their poverty and marginalization.

Vincent also was a man of wisdom who believed in the power of education to transform the world for the better. He believed in the sacredness of life and the God-given dignity and inestimable value for each person. He is aptly known as the “Apostle of Charity.”

THE COAT OF ARMSThe main section of the shield consists of nine panes forming a heraldic cross, the symbol of the Christian faith. The center pane holds a heart, which represents Saint Vincent de Paul, for whom the university is named. Because he spent his life in the service of God and people, especially the poor, Saint Vincent is considered to be the Apostle of Charity. The pane above the heart holds a crescent symbolizing Mary, the Immaculate Conception, the patroness of the United States.

The upper section contains a fleur-de-lis, symbol of France, Vincent’s homeland. Three are shown, representing the Trinity. This section also carries two symbols of Chicago. A line suggestive of the wall of a fort represents Fort Dearborn. The phoenix rising from the flames atop the shield is both a symbol of the Resurrection of Christ and the resurrection of the City of Chicago after the Great Fire of 1871.

The inscription 1898 refers to the year DePaul was first chartered by the State of Illinois as St. Vincent’s College. In 1907 a new charter was granted in the name of DePaul University.

The motto of DePaul University, “Viam sapientiae monstrabo tibi,” is taken from the biblical book of Proverbs (4:11) and is translated, “I will show you the way of wisdom.”

THE TREE OF WISDOMThe symbol expresses the university’s integration of education and religion by combining the forms of a tree and a cross. Central to the symbol is a modified cruciform, suggestive of the Catholic

roots of the university. This cruciform also is expressive of the human form, with arms uplifted and outstretched to give spirit and life to the environment. The figure stands erect and balanced suggesting a strength of knowledge and values.

Viewing the symbol as a single unit, one sees our “Tree of Wisdom” resting firmly on the ground, with its square base and raised limbs in symmetry. It has age and fullness in its trunk and limbs, suggesting tradition; and youth and simplicity in its internal negative spaces, representing leaf forms suggestive of sapling growth.

Typographically, the symbol incorporates and combines the lower case letterforms d, p and u. The “u” form extending upward from the trunk is a true arc, a section of a perfect circle. Its position relative to the figure represents support, rather than containment, just as the university supports the human spirit in the pursuit of knowledge and the deepening of religious values.

THE BANNERS OF DEPAUL UNIVERSITY

DePaul University and each of its 10 colleges and schools have a distinctive heraldic banner. These banners play a prominent ceremonial role in the university’s commencement ceremonies.

The university banner features DePaul’s colors, red and blue. The interrelationship between the university and the city is illustrated by the skyline motif.

The banners of each of DePaul’s 10 colleges and schools are shown below, in the order in which they became a part of DePaul.

COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND HEALTH

Academic Colors: Yellow for the sciences and sage for health

The alternating panes of color symbolize the interrelationship of the diverse courses of study in the sciences and health.

COLLEGE OF COMMUNICATION

Academic Colors: Silver grey (communication studies) and crimson (mass communication)

The arrows call to mind early communication models representing sender and receiver, but depicted here in a dynamic geometric model that acknowledges the complexity of human and mediated communications.

COLLEGE OF COMPUTING AND DIGITAL MEDIA

Academic Color: Yellow

The triangular shapes represent the three primary areas of emphasis in the school, and the reversal of colors of the triangles in the squares the fundamental binary nature of computing.

THE THEATRE SCHOOL

Academic Color: Brown

The “lozengy,” or two-color diamond pattern, symbolizes the arts and also is reminiscent of the harlequin of the Commedia dell’Arte, theatre of the Italian Renaissance.

SCHOOL FOR NEW LEARNING

Academic Color: Yellow green

The “gyronny,” a heraldic pattern of eight lines radiating out from the center, symbolizes the school’s wide-ranging programs of study.

COLLEGE OF EDUCATION

Academic Color: Light blue

The “saltire” (a corner-to-corner cross) is the heraldic symbol illustrating change and growth, the dual results of the educational process.

COLLEGE OF LAW

Academic Color: Purple

The double-reversed chevrons illustrate the traditional scales of justice associated with the field of jurisprudence.

SCHOOL OF MUSIC

Academic Color: Pink

Heraldic bars of white against a pink field represent the 10 lines of the musical staff, a translator of the musical language.

DRIEHAUS COLLEGE OF BUSINESS

Academic Color: Taupe

The “party per cross” design uses two tinctures to impart the quantitative nature of business enterprise.

COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES

Academic Colors: White for the arts and letters, citron for the social sciences

The alternating panes of color symbolize the interrelationship of the diverse courses of study in the arts and social sciences.

THE DEPAUL UNIVERSITY MACEDePaul University has created, as part of its permanent institutional academic regalia, a university mace. The mace was commissioned by the Office of Mission and Values.

Originally used as a weapon in medieval warfare, the mace has been used ceremonially since the 12th century. Traditionally bearing coats of arms or other heraldic images, the mace was borne in procession—always on the right shoulder—as a symbol of civil, ecclesiastical and academic authority and jurisdiction.

Designed by the renowned liturgical artist Joseph Luiz Rameriz of Axis Mundi Studios in Chicago, the DePaul University mace has been hand-crafted utilizing the finest materials and the talents of crafts-persons on two continents. The silversmith for the work was Huseyin Baykal, a distinguished Turkish artist. The silver work of the mace is called repoussage. It is a process of beating sheets of silver on dense beds of tar. The silversmith taps the silver thousands of times with steel punches to bring forth the intricacies of the envisioned design.

Measuring approximately 48 inches long, the mace is made of hand-turned yew wood. Covering the yew wood are twining silver rose stems and buds symbolizing the passage of time and the renewal of life.

Surmounting the mace is a phoenix from the university’s coat of arms. The phoenix rising from the flames is both a symbol of the Resurrection of Christ and the resurrection of the City of Chicago after the Great Fire of 1871. Also at the top of the mace are enameled pendants of hearts and the crescent moon. These symbols also are taken from the coat of arms. The heart represents Saint Vincent de Paul. The crescent symbolizes Mary, the Immaculate Conception and patroness of the United States.

8 | DEPAUL UNIVERSITY

ACADEMIC DRESSThe tradition of academic dress dates back to the Middle Ages, when gowns were a common form of attire in early European universities. Since those universities were founded by the church, students were required to wear the prescribed gowns at all times. They represent an adaptation of the cape or mantle worn by religious dignitaries in processions.

The traditional color of academic gowns has been black, but over the years, other colors and styles were adopted. In 1896, the colleges and universities of the United States adopted a uniform code governing academic dress.

The style of gown varies according to the academic degree awarded. The color of the lining of the hood indicates the college or university of the wearer’s degree.

For graduates of DePaul University, sky blue with a red chevron is used. The border of the hood is trimmed in a color indicating the field of study. Below is a list of the most common academic colors.

Dark Blue Philosophy

GRADUATION WITH HONORThe bachelor’s degree with honor is conferred upon candidates who have achieved exceptional scholastic proficiency. The distinction “Summa Cum Laude” is conferred upon those candidates who have demonstrated remarkable scholastic ability by attaining a 3.85 grade point average. The distinction “Magna Cum Laude” is conferred upon those candidates who have demonstrated definite superior ability by attaining a 3.7 grade point average. The distinction “Cum Laude” is conferred upon those who have distinguished themselves by attaining a 3.5 grade point average.

The level of honor is verified after spring quarter. The honor notation is recorded on the student’s diploma and academic record.

VIA SAPIENTIAE AWARDIn 1961, DePaul University established the Via Sapientiae Award to honor individuals who have served devotedly the purposes and ideals of the university. It takes its name from the university’s motto: “Viam Sapientiae Monstrabo Tibi,” taken from the Book of Proverbs and translated from the Latin as, “I will show you the way of wisdom.” This defines the university’s highest function and provides the criteria for evaluating the contributions of those persons who have spent their lives in the university’s service.

PLEDGE OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYThose graduates wearing green ribbons on their gowns today have made a personal commitment to practice social responsibility in their life and work.

THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDALLIONThe presidential medallion symbolizes the authority conferred as a sacred trust by the Board of Trustees upon the president as the chief executive officer of the university. By virtue of his office, the president is personally entrusted with the responsibility of promoting the mission and values that underlie DePaul University’s service to its students and its distinctive identity as a Catholic, Vincentian and urban institution.

Created in 2004 by the renowned Chicago silversmith William N. Frederick, the DePaul University presidential medallion is in the form of the university seal, cast in silver and suspended from a chain with links to the heraldic symbols of each of the university’s 10 schools and colleges.

The new medallion was commissioned by the Office of Mission and Values and the Office of Academic Affairs in honor of the inauguration of the Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider, C.M., as the university’s eleventh president.

COMMENCEMENT 2015 | 15

Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, PhD, has engaged great societal questions that explore the nobility of teaching, the centrality of good schools in the advancement of a nation’s people and the wisdom to be found in intense listening and intelligent probing. An educator and sociologist, she has spent her distinguished career applying the conceptual practices of sociology to examining the culture of schools, the patterns and structures of classroom life, socialization within families and communities, and the relationships between culture and learning styles. Dr. Lawrence-Lightfoot has also greatly influenced social science research by pioneering portraiture, an innovative methodology that bridges science and art. Her work has profoundly enriched and shaped the field of education.

Dr. Lawrence-Lightfoot’s parents instilled the importance of education in her at a young age. Both earned the highest degrees available in their professions—a PhD for her father and MD for her mother—at Columbia University. Both also connected their academic lives to social activism and became involved in civil and human rights. Exposure to their dual paths of academics and activism inspired Dr. Lawrence-Lightfoot to cross boundaries in her own career—joining theory and practice to create scholarship that influences social justice.

Harvard University has been the home of Dr. Lawrence-Lightfoot’s entire professional career. She joined the faculty as an assistant professor after earning her doctorate in the sociology of education in 1972. Several years later, she published the first of her 10 books, “Worlds Apart: Relationships between Families and Schools,” an examination of the interactions between families and schools and suggesting strategies for easing children’s transition from their homes to their classrooms. In the 30 years since it was published, her book “The Good High School: Portraits of Character and Culture” remains a trusted reference for educators and scholars interested in improving and transforming schools and supporting student achievement and opportunity.

Dr. Lawrence-Lightfoot researched “The Good High School” and several of her other books using portraiture, the social science methodology that she pioneered that joins art and science, aesthetics and empiricism in documenting the complex layers of culture and human experience reflected in everyday life. A researcher using portraiture pays close attention to context as an important tool for interpreting meaning and interviews and observes subjects closely to build a narrative storyline that is at once informative and inspiring and speaks to diverse audiences of people. Today, portraiture is recognized, by scholars and researchers, as one of the most innovative and productive social science methodologies for exploring the deep meanings of human experience.

To honor her signature scholarship, the MacArthur Foundation awarded Dr. Lawrence-Lightfoot a prestigious MacArthur fellowship, known as the “genius grant,” in 1984. It was among the first of her numerous honors. Harvard awarded her the 1993 George Ledlie Prize for research that makes the “most valuable contribution to science” and

“the benefit of mankind.” In 1995, the Spencer Foundation named her a Spencer Senior Scholar; and in 2008, the Academy of Political and Social Sciences named her the Margaret Mead Fellow. In 1998, Harvard bestowed on her the Emily Hargroves Fisher Endowed Chair; upon her retirement, it will become the Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot Chair, making her the first African-American woman in Harvard’s history to have an endowed professorship named in her honor.

A staunch advocate for supporting teaching and improving education, Dr. Lawrence-Lightfoot lends her knowledge to organizations outside the academy. She serves as deputy chair of the board of Atlantic Philanthropies, which awards grants to advance opportunity and lasting change for those who are unfairly disadvantaged or vulnerable to life’s circumstances. For five years, she served as chair of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, of which she was a longtime board member.

By devoting her life to understanding and improving education, Dr. Lawrence-Lightfoot has provided educators and parents, scholars and academics with invaluable tools for bettering children’s educational access and opportunity. America’s schools are better places because of her work.

CITATIONSara Lawrence-Lightfoot, PhD, you spent your entire professional career turning your keen sociologist’s eyes onto educational settings to find ways to improve children’s school experiences. Principals, teachers and parents trust your scholarship to guide their understanding of and enhancements to school culture. In the service of developing your body of work, you pioneered portraiture, an innovative social science methodology that joins art and science, seeks to inform and inspire, and speaks to diverse audiences through beautiful narratives that impart deep meaning. Your lifetime devotion to improving education encompasses the ideals of this university’s namesake, St. Vincent de Paul. For these reasons and more, DePaul University is privileged to confer upon you the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa.

COMMENCEMENT 2015 | 31

World-renowned pianist and composer Muhal Richard Abrams has been at the forefront of the contemporary music scene for 68 years. Dr. Abrams is a co-founder of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, or AACM, founder of the AACM School of Music and president of the AACM’s New York City chapter. Dr. Abrams was the first recipient of the grand international jazz award, the JazzPar Prize, which the Danish Jazz Center awarded to him in 1990 in Copenhagen. In 1999, Dr. Abrams was presented a proclamation by Richard M. Daley, Mayor of the City of Chicago, declaring April 11, 1999, as Muhal Richard Abrams Day in the city. In 2009, United States Artists selected him as a USA Prudential Fellow. In 2010, Dr. Abrams was chosen by the National Endowment for the Arts to be an NEA Jazz Master and he was inducted into Downbeat Magazine’s Jazz Hall of Fame. In May 2012, he received the degree of Doctor of Music, honoris causa, from Columbia University. In October 2012, the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation presented Dr. Abrams with the BNY Mellon Jazz Living Legacy Award. In 2014, Dr. Abrams received a Doris Duke Impact Award.

Except for a brief period of study at Chicago Musical College and Governors State University in Chicago, where he studied electronic music, Dr. Abrams is predominately a self-taught musician who as a result of many years of observation, analysis and practice as a performing musician has developed a highly respected command of a variety of musical styles both as a pianist and composer. He and members of the AACM are responsible for some of the most original new music approaches of the last four decades.

Dr. Abrams’ compositions include “String Quartet #2,” performed by the Kronos Quartet on November 22, 1985, at Carnegie Recital Hall; “Piano Duet #1,” performed by Ursula Oppens and Frederic Rzewski for Music at the Crossroads on February 11, 1986; “Saturation Blue,” performed on March 14, 1986, by the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra Chamber Ensemble; “Folk Tales ’88,” performed by the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra on July 9, 1988; “Transversion I Op. 6,” performed February 22 and 23, 1991, by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra; “What A Man,” dedicated to the late Chicago Mayor Harold Washington and performed by the Black Repertory Ensemble; “Impressions 1,” performed by the S.E.M. Ensemble in 1997; “2000 Plus the Twelfth Step,” performed by the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band in 1999; “Tomorrow’s Song, As Yesterday Sings Today,” performed by the American Composers Orchestra in 2000; and “Mergertone,” performed by the Janacek Philharmonic Orchestra in 2009 in the Czech Republic.

In addition to teaching privately, Dr. Abrams has taught composition and improvisation classes at the Banff Center in Canada, Columbia University, Syracuse University, the New England Conservatory in Boston, the BMI Jazz Composers Workshop in New York City and the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland.

CITATIONMuhal Richard Abrams, throughout your musical career, you have shown the utmost dedication to music. Your trust in the power of music to inspire others has driven you to share your talents with people throughout the world. As a co-founder of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, you have made contributions to the arts whose acknowledgement is beyond the reach of words. You have served as a mentor to many and your works will continue serving as inspiration for many years to come. Your commitment to sharing your talent and mentorship with others demonstrates Vincentian ideals prized at DePaul. For these reasons and more, DePaul University is privileged to confer upon you the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa.

COMMENCEMENT 2015 | 41

Inspired by her love of God and devotion to her country, Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe, S.H.S., works tirelessly to restore the lives of girls and young women who have survived extreme violence at the hands of Ugandan rebels. By championing the teaching of practical skills, Sister Rosemary empowers survivors of kidnappings and violence to reclaim their dignity. She has achieved international renown for operating thriving schools for women in Uganda and South Sudan and for advocating worldwide on behalf of the marginalized. Her work has energized a network of supporters to bring awareness to the ongoing violence in parts of Africa. With Sister Rosemary’s guidance, women uncover their inner strength and reclaim their bright futures.

Born in Northern Uganda, Sister Rosemary joined the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus at age 15. The religious order serves populations of Ugandans who have encountered firsthand the brutality of a violent rebel group that has been responsible for the murder, abduction or displacement of millions of their fellow citizens over the past 20 years. As Sister Rosemary and the sisters in her congregation reached out to those who managed to escape from the rebel group, they realized that many of the survivors lacked basic literacy or practical skills that would allow them to live productive lives. The religious women also encountered survivors who were young girls in desperate need of care for emotional and psychological trauma. Recognizing that vocational skills would allow these girls to become economically self-sufficient, Sister Rosemary revamped the curriculum of St. Monica’s Girls School in Gulu, where she is the director. The school added work skills training, as well as counseling, psychological support and free medical care. More recently, Sister Rosemary has opened a second school in Uganda and one in South Sudan.

With a curriculum in place, St. Monica’s Girls Tailoring Center began to offer a variety of skills training, including practical courses. Sister Rosemary and other sisters from her religious order strengthened their community outreach efforts to attract more people into its programs. Since 2002, enrollment has surged from 31 to more than 300 mothers and babies each year. Training offered at the school includes lessons in knitting sweaters, tailoring school uniforms, agriculture, hair styling and catering. Some of the boys at St. Monica’s create supplies that are used to build houses by filling plastic bottles with sand. Students are renowned for baking and decorating the most beautiful cakes in the region and for creating purses made from soda pop tabs that are sold worldwide to support the women for the work they produce. The majority of the women leave St. Monica’s with permanent jobs, and some women find employment at St. Monica’s as well.

Sister Rosemary’s advocacy work has attracted widespread attention to St. Monica’s and the plight of its students. She travels worldwide to spread the word about the school, gather support for its mission and bring awareness to the unspeakable trauma that Ugandans still face at the hands of rebels. Working with different international organizations, such as the Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund, St. Monica’s addresses the educational and health needs of both mothers and babies on one compound. St. Monica’s partners with Pros for Africa and Sisters United, United States-based nonprofits that help sell purses and jewelry made by St. Monica’s students and rally professionals to lend support to the school. Sister Rosemary also works with the Starkey Hearing Foundation in the United States to supply hearing aids to Ugandans and the nonprofit Water4 to provide clean water to people in Northern Uganda.

Her work has not gone unnoticed. Last year, she was one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people and the Gulf Coast Chapter of UN Women presented her the Impact Award at the Sarasota Film Festival. In 2013, DePaul awarded Sister Rosemary an honorary degree in Kenya, where the School for New Learning offers an undergraduate degree program in partnership with Tangaza University College. Sister Rosemary was named a CNN Hero in 2007 for her work with St. Monica’s. U.S. President Bill Clinton and his daughter Chelsea met Sister Rosemary during a visit to Uganda and praised her mission and determination. She is the subject of “Sewing Hope,” a 2013 documentary film narrated by the actor Forest Whitaker. A book with the same title is available online.

Sister Rosemary remains focused on empowering Ugandan women and girls to rely on their own strength and skills. Through the educational programs at St. Monica’s, they can weave a new beginning, free from the violence they endured, and with hope for a better future for their children. Fueled by her faith, Sister Rosemary is repairing the harm done to her country, one survivor at a time.

COMMENCEMENT 2015 | 53

Peter J. Stang, PhD, has become one of the world’s leading scientists by driving advances in organic chemistry and pioneering the field of “supramolecular chemistry.” Over the past five decades, he has led a team of molecular architects who rearrange chemical building blocks to produce new and better products to advance medicine, information storage and energy. Earning his bachelor’s degree from DePaul marked the first step of his distinguished journey in the field of organic chemistry.

Dr. Stang was born in Nuremburg, Germany, but lived most of his childhood in Hungary. He became fascinated with science at a young age. In school, he took demanding science and mathematics classes, and at home he performed his own science experiments. In 1956, during his sophomore year of high school, Dr. Stang and his family fled Hungary during the Soviet Union invasion. The family relocated to Chicago—the first stop along the way to leaving his mark on the science world.

Although he entered the United States with limited knowledge of the English language, he did not let it slow his path to success. Dr. Stang persevered and was admitted to DePaul, where in 1963 he earned his bachelor’s degree in chemistry. With encouragement from one of his DePaul professors, he then pursued a PhD in chemistry at the University of California-Berkeley, which he earned in 1966.

In 1969, Dr. Stang moved to Salt Lake City to join the faculty at the University of Utah, where he remains a distinguished professor of chemistry today after more than 40 years of teaching and scholarship. For the past 20 years, he has focused his research on molecular architecture and supramolecular chemistry with a focus on self-assembly: the study of how simple molecules—the Lego building blocks of chemistry—spontaneously form into complex molecules. His research has practical applications in such diverse areas as the oil refinery process, nanotechnology and biomedicine. He shared his knowledge with the science community by authoring or co-authoring more than 500 scientific publications. In 1982, he joined the Journal of the American Chemical Society as an associate editor and became the journal’s editor-in-chief in 2002. During the course of his research, he has mentored nearly 100 undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral fellows, whom he humbly credits with his success.

For his contributions to the advancement of science, Dr. Stang has received some of the highest awards available in his field and recognition worldwide. In 2011, Times Higher Education in Britain ranked him 69th

on a list of the world’s top 100 chemists, based on the significant impact his published work has made in the world of science. In December 2011, President Barack Obama awarded him the National Medal of Science, the highest honor bestowed by the president upon a scientist, engineer or inventor. The following year, the American Chemical Society, the world’s largest scientific group, presented Dr. Stang with its highest honor, the Priestley Medal, considered a lifetime achievement award for chemists. He serves as a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Working with chemical systems built from molecular components, Dr. Stang has changed the world for good by discovering innovative methods that have led to the advancement of many areas of science. By mentoring chemistry students, he has influenced the next generation of scientists and has opened new opportunities for them to thrive. He serves as an inspiration to future scientists, and, as a DePaul alumnus, to all DePaul students as well.

CITATIONPeter J. Stang, PhD, throughout your renowned career you have proven that opportunity and achievement can blossom through adversity. Your perseverance and courage triumphed over obstacles that stood before you. Your dedication to the research of molecular architecture and supramolecular chemistry has fundamentally changed the field of organic chemistry. With the new knowledge you have brought into the world, science has reached new heights in order to serve crucial needs. You have embodied Vincentian values through your commitment to higher education and the mentorship of students, which allowed them to reach their full potential. As a DePaul alumnus, you serve as a model for all students through your diligent efforts to improve the lives of others. For these reasons and more, DePaul University is privileged to confer upon you the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa.

On the path to becoming a medical professional, students build knowledge upon foundational courses that many times inspire them to pursue particular career paths. For 22 years at DePaul, students in the sciences encountered some of these basic courses with James F. Masken, PhD. Many of his students went on to medical school, dental school, veterinary school and graduate school.

In June 1945, Dr. Masken was drafted into the Army. When he finished his service, he used the G.I. Bill to become the first in his family to attend college. He graduated from New York University, and went on to earn a PhD from Colorado State University. For the next 34 years, he worked at Colorado State University as a professor of physiology.

Once retired, he relocated to Chicago and became an adjunct professor at DePaul in 1992. Students benefited greatly from the tremendous knowledge and experience Dr. Masken brought to his role. He taught some very popular courses in the Department of Biological Sciences, including anatomy, vertebrate physiology, histology, introduction to endocrinology, pharmacology and several non-majors courses. Dr. Masken took great pride in his teaching and great joy in working with students. He advised many of these students and wrote many letters of recommendation to encourage their careers.

His colleagues in the Department of Biological Sciences appreciated the active role he took in the department and the insight he shared at faculty meetings. He served as a thesis advisor for some graduate students and served as a thesis committee member for many others. Ever the educator, he cherished the successes of his students and continued to teach until fall of 2014.

Dr. Masken passed away in April at age 88.

POSTHUMOUS CITATIONJames F. Masken, PhD, devoted his life to educating the next generations of doctors, veterinarians, dentists and researchers. After retiring as a professor at another university, he chose to share his time and considerable knowledge with DePaul as an adjunct professor in the Department of Biological Sciences. From 1992 until fall of 2014, he guided students through the foundational courses that, for many, would come to influence the rest of their careers. A natural mentor, he placed great care in advising students along their diverse academic paths. His eager participation in the department well into his retirement—until months before his death—served as an inspiration for faculty colleagues and students alike. For these reasons and more, it is a privilege to present the family of James F. Masken the Via Sapientiae Award, DePaul University’s highest honor for faculty and staff.

COMMENCEMENT 2015 | 55

It is a remarkable and increasingly rare legacy to spend one’s entire professional career serving a single institution. Tom Paetsch did just that, retiring in 2014 after 45 years of distinguished service at DePaul. In that time, he devoted himself to improving the student information system and witnessed significant technological advancements in that area. Through conscientious service to students, he demonstrated how effective behind-the-scenes work contributes mightily to a well-run university.

Mr. Paetsch came to DePaul as a student in 1962, commuting from Blue Island, Illinois, and participating in the university’s ROTC program. It was at DePaul, as he sat in a classroom taking a Spanish class, that he met his future wife, Mary, who was taking a French class across the hall. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in sociology in 1966 and receiving a commission as a 2nd lieutenant, he served in the Army in the Vietnam War.

Upon his return to Chicago in 1969, he contacted DePaul’s placement office about finding a job. They presented him leads at several businesses and mentioned open positions at the university. Mr. Paetsch recalls that DePaul made him feel welcome in an era when returning veterans were not treated with the appreciation and respect that they are today, and so he began his DePaul career as the supervisor of registration. Through the years, he served in a variety of positions in the registrar’s office and played a key role in modernizing the university’s registration and records system. Early in his tenure, registration was in-person and long lines were the norm. Mr. Paetsch worked on a team that expanded the registration process to both campuses and later developed mail-in registration. From there, Mr. Paetsch helped DePaul adopt systems that removed the paper registration process altogether and allowed students to register via telephone; this set the stage for the web registration system that exists today. For the last two decades, he was a data administrator, working with student data and systems and attending with care and diligence to vital student information.

In addition to his professional responsibilities, Mr. Paetsch supported the university in his personal endeavors. He returned to school to earn his MBA and sent three children into bachelor’s and master’s programs. He also served on numerous committees, including 18 years as a member of the university’s athletic board.

Mr. Paetsch truly made DePaul his life’s work, as did his late brother, Gerry, for whom the university’s annual award for outstanding advising is named because of all the students he served so well. The brothers’ decades of service to DePaul shows a devotion that few other employees can claim.

Mr. Paetsch’s work made a great difference in the quality of the student experience and the outcomes of their college years. The students never saw the headaches avoided, the snafus preempted and the roadblocks removed in their various enrollment and registration processes because of Mr. Paetsch’s diligent, tireless and often thankless attention to the integrity and accuracy of their records and the systems that manage them.

CITATIONTom Paetsch, your 45-year career at DePaul produced a legacy of service to the university. You came to DePaul as a student, and later, as a military veteran returned home from war. Through more than four decades, you witnessed tremendous growth and helped introduce technological advances in student systems that brought DePaul into the modern era. Your lifelong care for students was evident in the tireless care and diligence with which you performed all of your duties. With your deep connections to the university through your wife, who you met here as an undergraduate, children, who now attend or graduated from DePaul, and late brother, who was a beloved longtime student advisor, DePaul forever will be an integral part of your family history—and you of our history. For these reasons and more, it is a privilege to bestow upon you the Via Sapientiae Award, DePaul University’s highest honor for faculty and staff.

COMMENCEMENT 2015 | 93

Richard Edelman is president and CEO of Edelman, the world’s largest public relations firm, and an industry innovator whose work has helped to redefine the meaning of public relations.

Born in Chicago, Mr. Edelman graduated from business school and joined the firm founded by his father, marketing and public relations pioneer Daniel Edelman. At the helm since 1996, he has burnished his father’s legacy—today Edelman employs more than 5,000 employees in 65 cities, as well as affiliates in more than 35 cities—and pioneering work in reputation management and marketing. The agency’s work with corporations in more than 25 industries around the world has greatly advanced the role of communication in business.

As the creator of the annual Edelman Trust Barometer, he is recognized as one of the foremost authorities on trust in business, government, media and non-governmental organizations. He speaks on this topic at several conferences, including the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, where he regularly leads discussions among global heads of business, government and media conglomerates. Media publications and academic journals around the globe widely cite the firm’s research connected to the Trust Barometer.

Under his leadership, Edelman has developed public relations campaigns that have changed the entire industry and earned the firm numerous top accolades, including “PR Agency of the Decade” by both Advertising Age and The Holmes Report.

Richard Edelman topped PRWeek’s list of most powerful executives in 2013 and was recognized as the third-highest-rated CEO by Glassdoor in 2014. That same year, he was named by his peers as an inductee to the Arthur W. Page Society’s Hall of Fame, one of the highest recognitions honoring men and women whose esteemed careers have taken them to the summit of the public relations field.

An industry thought leader, Mr. Edelman posts weekly to his blog, 6 A.M., created in 2004. It has since become a must-read for students and practitioners.

Mr. Edelman constantly challenges practitioners to think of their responsibilities in new ways—including the early recognition of marketplace opportunities in areas such as digital—that showcase the importance of communication to corporate leaders around the world. His contribution to the industry is immeasurable and enduring.

He serves on the board of directors of the Ad Council, the Atlantic Council, the Children’s Aid Society, the 9/11 Museum and the Arthur Page Society. He is a member of the World Economic Forum and PR Seminar. An active ambassador for The Children’s Aid Society,

Mr. Edelman serves on the board of trustees as co-chair of the development committee and advocate for corporate social responsibility. The society, which provides comprehensive support for more than 70,000 low-income children and families in New York City each year, presented Mr. Edelman with the society’s Promise Award for his commitment to serving the city’s neediest children.

Through inspiring leadership and a relentless pursuit of innovation, Mr. Edelman has shown that building trust can produce competitive advantage and societal benefit the world over.

CITATIONRichard Edelman, your pioneering work in reputation management and marketing with corporations in more than 25 industries around the world has greatly advanced the role of communication in business and cemented your reputation as one of the industry’s most influential leaders. As creator of the annual Edelman Trust Barometer, you are recognized as one of the foremost authorities on trust in business, government, media and non-governmental organizations. Under your stewardship, Edelman has become the largest public relations firm in the world and has earned many of the industry’s top accolades. You have embodied Vincentian values as an ambassador for The Children’s Aid Society and through your tireless advocacy for corporate social responsibility. Your contributions to the industry are immeasurable and enduring. For these reasons and more, DePaul University is privileged to confer upon you the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa.

The studies of philosophy and computer science may appear to be totally disjointed, yet they are bound by an important connection: the use of logic. This shared characteristic drew Martin Kalin, PhD, to both disciplines and led him to become a tenured professor first in DePaul’s Department of Philosophy and later in the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems. Dr. Kalin played a major part in building the latter from its beginnings to its current form: the College of Computing and Digital Media.

In 1969, he joined the DePaul faculty as an assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy. A scholar specializing in the study of German philosopher Immanuel Kant, he was drawn to the analytic philosophy tradition and believed that students seeking degrees in philosophy should have a solid grounding in logic, including mathematical logic. In 1973, he achieved tenure and in 1979 became a full professor, later serving for one year as chair of the department.

After developing a strong interest in computer science, he began taking master’s level courses in the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems, which DePaul formed in 1981, to gauge whether he would prefer teaching in that area. In 1983, he decided to make the switch, but insisted that he not retain his full professor rank in his new department. Rather, Dr. Kalin earned it over the next 13 years and was promoted to full professor a second time.

In his new discipline, Dr. Kalin immersed himself in all facets of computer science. On the theoretical end, he helped develop the master’s level artificial intelligence curriculum. He also mastered the technical aspects of computer science and eventually published 10 books on foundational programming languages, specifically Java, C++ and ANSI C. He was just as eager to share this knowledge with students to help them expand their skill sets. While staying at the forefront of technology, he taught advanced courses in nearly every area as well as programming at the introductory level. He was a devoted instructor in the Institute for Professional Development, which offers certificate programs in the College of Computing and Digital Media for professionals who wish to learn new technologies and upgrade their skills.

Dr. Kalin helped the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems grow into the School of Computer Science, Telecommunication and Information Systems, known as CTI, and, in 2008, the College of Computing and Digital Media. Along the way, he generously gave his time to serving on vital university committees. As the first CTI representative on Faculty Council, his experience in the Department of Philosophy and knowledge of the university allowed

him to serve as a bridge between the new school and more established colleges. Among his other committee work, he served as chair of the task force on reorganizing the Liberal Studies Council and on the steering committee for the Office of Suburban Campuses and Lifelong Learning. In 2001, he became an associate dean of the College of Computing and Digital Media, a position he held until his retirement.

His curiosity and deep interest in computer systems led to projects outside of his official duties. In 2010, he and several DePaul colleagues built the website for the nonprofit Zafén, which facilitates loans to small businesses in Haiti; the group completed this service project in conjunction with activities commemorating the 350th anniversary of St. Vincent de Paul’s death. He also has consulted on projects in the steel and automotive industries, some of which he later featured in scholarly works.

A gifted multisport athlete, Dr. Kalin served as head coach of the women’s tennis team in 1982-83.

CITATIONMartin Kalin, PhD, your 46-year career at DePaul was marked by scholarly versatility, generous service and a commitment to student learning. As a professor in the Department of Philosophy for 14 years, you taught students the value of a strong background in logic. Always eager for an intellectual challenge, you decided to cultivate your interest in computer science by joining DePaul’s Department of Computer Science and Information Systems, which at that time had been in existence for two years. Over the next 32 years, you were instrumental in the department’s growth into a school, and later, the College of Computing and Digital Media. As comfortable with the theoretical side of computer science as you were with the exacting nature of programming languages, you taught a wide variety of courses to students at all levels, including instructing many courses in the Institute for Professional Development’s certificate programs. You also lent your wisdom to many university committees, including Faculty Council. For these reasons and more, it is a privilege to bestow upon you the Via Sapientiae Award, DePaul University’s highest honor for faculty and staff.

Barbara Speicher, PhDAssociate Professor, College of Communication

A university derives much of its strength from extraordinary faculty and staff who care greatly about students and the future of the institution. For 27 years, Barbara Speicher, PhD, has been one such person. A linguistics scholar, Dr. Speicher took her citizenship in the DePaul community very seriously and devoted as much time to working one-on-one with students on challenging material as she did to the numerous committees on which she served to improve the university. Her scholarship, classroom instruction and service helped the College of Communication thrive.

After completing her PhD in linguistics and cognition in 1988, Dr. Speicher came to DePaul at a time when the College of Communication was still a department. In 1995, she was promoted from assistant to associate professor. Though she specialized in linguistics, she also taught courses in multicultural and intercultural communication and crossed paths with many communication students by teaching core courses. Her research examined language attitudes, discourse analysis, and communication patterns within and between groups in the multicultural U.S. Most recently, she investigated language attitudes and language policies as they relate to language and immigration. Her work has been published in Language in Society, The Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, Curriculum Inquiry, The International Journal of Diversity in Organizations, Communities and Nations and The Howard Journal of Communication.

Dr. Speicher was strongly committed to contributing her time and wealth of knowledge to numerous university, college and department committees. For decades, she served in a broad array of roles on Faculty Council, including as secretary and College of Communication representative. Her vast institutional knowledge, consensus-building nature, commitment to fairness and willingness to serve on challenging task forces and committees contributed to the council’s success. She encouraged the success of other faculty members by serving as a new faculty mentor and helped the university maintain its curricular excellence with her service on curriculum committees.

She led the Department of Communication as chair from 2002 until 2007—the year the College of Communication was formed. As the transition occurred, she was a trusted voice in shaping the new college’s curriculum and showed her devotion to the university by placing the needs of the college first. As the new college took shape, she was a culture-strengthening force. Her colleagues in the college appreciated her enthusiasm for organizing social events and activities that made new faculty members feel welcome and bonded long-time faculty members. She also served for many years on the college’s personnel committee, spending considerable time and energy guiding faculty through the tenure and promotion process.

In the classroom, Dr. Speicher was invested in making students better writers and thinkers. She set high standards and challenged them to draw deeper insights. Throughout nearly three decades at DePaul, her colleagues commonly saw her working individually with students to make complicated linguistics concepts accessible. She was committed to helping students see how language could empower others and how language can influence people in ways they might not notice. To support budding academics, she served on nine dissertation committees and 19 master’s thesis committees, providing valuable and detailed feedback that helped students bolster their scholarship.

CITATIONBarbara Speicher, PhD, you spent 27 years at DePaul giving your best to students, your department and college, and the institution as a whole. As a linguistics scholar, you published research consistently in noteworthy academic journals and you were committed to showing students how language could empower others. You took a real stake in the university’s success and generously gave your time and talents to serving on committees, task forces and Faculty Council. With your passion and commitment to fairness and justice, you were a trusted voice on matters that were important to your colleagues and the university. By placing the university’s needs first, you demonstrated true selfless leadership and provided an honorable example to all. You also led the Department of Communication at a critical time in its history and helped it blossom into the College of Communication. For these reasons and more, it is a privilege to bestow upon you the Via Sapientiae Award, DePaul University’s highest honor for faculty and staff.

HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT & SPEAKER

Kate MaehrExecutive Director and CEO of the Greater Chicago Food Depository

Kate Maehr is chief executive officer of the Greater Chicago Food Depository where since 1999 she has employed all the skills of the corporate world to address hunger in Cook County. Ms. Maehr’s leadership is demonstrated by a number of strategic initiatives and significant accomplishments.

Under Ms. Maehr’s guidance, the Food Depository has vastly expanded operations and distribution to meet rising demand throughout Cook County. Over the last four years—since the economic downturn of 2008—the Food Depository has increased its distribution by more than 18 million pounds of food while developing programs to better serve priority populations.

Ms. Maehr has overseen the creation and growth of multiple innovative programs. Her vision for the organization led to the development and current implementation of a five-year strategic plan—Growing the Field—that launched in 2010. With this plan, the Food Depository is increasing access to nutritious food, strengthening community responses to hunger, mobilizing the public to end hunger, implementing new outcome measurements and strengthening its infrastructure. Significant progress already has been achieved, including the expansion of produce distribution to 33 percent of all food.

Ms. Maehr has overseen the creation and growth of several innovative programs. In 2007, the Mobile Pantry program was launched to distribute fresh and shelf-stable food to communities with high need and limited local resources. That same year, the Food Depository started distributing food boxes to older adult residences. In 2009, the Food Depository began offering SNAP Outreach services to help families and individuals apply for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps. In 2010, the Food Depository launched its Lunch Bus program to deliver nutritious lunches to children during the summer months. In 2013, the Food Depository partnered with Jesse Brown VA Medical Center to open one of the nation’s first food pantries in a VA hospital. This model was replicated the following year at Hines VA Hospital.

The Food Depository has conducted a number of studies under Ms. Maehr’s leadership to identify and connect priority populations and communities with the nutrition they need. In 2010, the Food Depository began highlighting community food insecurity data in unprecedented detail. The same year, the Food Depository and the Social IMPACT Research Center examined nutritional access for Cook County children in the study Running on Empty. In 2012, the Food Depository released the study Hunger Among Seniors in Cook County.

A leading voice in the fight to end hunger, Ms. Maehr is co-chair of the Illinois Commission to End Hunger, and a board member of Feeding Illinois, the state’s coalition of food banks. Ms. Maehr is also a member of the Economic Club of Chicago and The Chicago Network. In 2013, Feeding America presented Ms. Maehr with the Dick Goebel Public Service Award, which is given annually to one individual in the national network of food banks.

Ms. Maehr holds a bachelor’s degree from Macalester College and a master’s degree in public policy and administration from the University of Wisconsin. She received an honorary doctorate from Knox College in 2011.

CITATIONKate Maehr, under your leadership, the Greater Chicago Food Depository has responded to a critical need in the community by providing more men, women and children in Cook County with access to nutritious food. By creating programs that connect people with healthy food resources, you have given people hope that they can rise above their challenges. Your strong advocacy on anti-hunger issues has spurred people to action, whether they are donors, volunteers or legislators. With a strategic vision, you are influencing how food banks throughout the world approach helping the hungry. Your dedication to the most vulnerable members of society and your determination to treat the root causes of hunger exemplify this university’s Vincentian mission. For these reasons and more, DePaul University is privileged to confer upon you the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa.

Nina Diamond, PhDAssociate Professor, Department of Marketing

Consumer behavior helps businesses understand how customers connect with products and brands by studying how people think and feel when contemplating purchases, and how they are affected by the cultures in which they live. In 17 years of showing DePaul students the power of consumer insights to inform business decisions, Nina Diamond, PhD, brought a unique perspective to her lessons. She blended success as a marketing executive with a PhD in human behavior research to build an academic career that capitalized on her practical experience, passion for research and enthusiasm for teaching.

Dr. Diamond’s career in marketing began in academics, studying and teaching psychology and human behavior research. After completing an Executive MBA program for PhDs, she transitioned into brand management at The Pillsbury Company. She also worked at a division of Dow Chemical, where she rose to vice president of Marketing and vice president of Organizational Development, and then served as a corporate officer and general manager at Whirlpool Corporation.

With a successful career in corporate marketing and previous academic experience, Dr. Diamond was a natural fit for DePaul. She joined the Department of Marketing in 1997 as an executive in residence and took the opportunity to re-engage in academic research, which led to DePaul hiring her as a tenure-track assistant professor in 2002. She earned tenure and was promoted to associate professor in 2008. At the undergraduate and graduate levels, she taught courses in consumer behavior, new product management, marketing strategy, consumer culture and qualitative research methods.

Dr. Diamond is a talented teacher, earning consistently positive student reviews and a Ryan Distinguished Undergraduate Teaching Award in 2011. A respected academic, she has published research in premier journals, including the Journal of Marketing, Journal of Retailing and Journal of Marketing Education. Her research on the American Girl line of dolls, books and accessories resulted in a series of journal articles and book chapters examining socio-cultural branding and themed brandstores. This includes a 2009 Journal of Retailing paper “Why Are Themed Brandstores So Powerful? Retail Brand Ideology at American Girl Place.” The article won a Davidson Award honorable mention for Best Paper Contributing to Theory and Practice in Retailing, as well as the Executive Review Board Citation of Excellence from Emerald Publishing for being one of the top 50 of 15,000 management articles published that year. The Journal of Marketing article, “American Girl and the Brand Gestalt: Closing the Loop on Sociocultural Branding,” has been cited more than 120 times since its publication in 2009, and a Journal of Marketing Education article “Uniting Active and Deep Learning to Teach Problem Solving Skills: Strategic Tools and the Learning Spiral,” won the 2008 Sage best paper award.

Dr. Diamond devoted her leadership skills to DePaul through extensive service commitments at every level of the university. She served extended terms on the Committee on Academic Policy and the Liberal Studies Council, was a member of three separate university strategic planning task forces and served on the College of Business Graduate Curriculum Committee, among other university, college and department committees. Widely admired by her peers and students, Dr. Diamond’s practical experience as a marketing executive and her presence on the marketing faculty made her a role model for female students. She spent many hours counseling students about curricular and career choices, and provided links to many jobs.

Dr. Diamond lives DePaul’s Vincentian mission by volunteering for leadership roles in several nonprofit organizations. For many years, she has worked with ACCION Chicago, a nonprofit microfinance organization that provides loans and counsel to small business owners in Illinois and Indiana who do not have access to bank capital, currently serving as a director and member of the Executive Committee. She also helped found MayaWorks, an organization that helps empower indigenous women in Guatemala by providing a market for their products and access to small loans and education.

CITATIONNina Diamond, PhD, in your 17-year career at DePaul, you exhibited a dedication to students, commitment to a spirit of inquiry and passion for service—both to the university and Chicago community. You came to the Department of Marketing following a successful career as a marketing executive at several major corporations. First as an executive in residence and later as an associate professor at DePaul, you dedicated yourself to academia and contributed valuable, award-winning research to your field. Your broad practical experience and enthusiasm for teaching and learning made you a role model for colleagues and students alike. Whether you were assisting university committees, connecting students with jobs or volunteering your time and expertise with charitable organizations, you demonstrated the many ways a DePaul professor can make an impact on the university and community. For these reasons and more, it is a privilege to bestow upon you the Via Sapientiae Award, DePaul University’s highest honor for faculty and staff.

Animesh Ghoshal, PhDProfessor, Department of Economics

In today’s global economy, it is imperative that modern-day business students find international studies woven into their curriculum and that they are presented with opportunities to experience international business practices firsthand. At DePaul, Animesh Ghoshal, PhD, was among the earliest educators in the College of Business to sense the importance of a global education. In his 33-year career, he helped establish international education opportunities for DePaul students in countries throughout the world.

In 1981, Dr. Ghoshal joined the Department of Economics as a faculty member. DePaul promoted him to full professor in 1987. His experience in working in Italy, Canada and Liberia helped him contribute extensively to the international mission of the university, as did his teaching in Bahrain, El Salvador, Finland, Hong Kong and Mexico. For many years, he led the European Business Seminar, which gave DePaul students the opportunity to get firsthand exposure to businesses in Europe, and to learn about European business in meetings with senior executives. From 2012-14, he participated in the University Comprehensive Internationalization Committee, which coordinates with faculty various aspects of the internationalization process of DePaul.

Graduate and undergraduate students appreciated Dr. Ghoshal’s ability to help them value the importance of often-complex lessons. He was elected Professor of the Year by the MBA/IMF class of 2002 and again by the class of 2004; he also won the university’s Excellence in Teaching award in 2002. His openness with other cultures and deep interest in international economics encouraged students to learn outside of their own life experiences. DePaul students became more prepared to launch international careers because of his guidance. He also supported students’ academic interests by inviting them to collaborate with him on academic research and co-authoring several papers with them.

Throughout his career, Dr. Ghoshal steadily published research that examined international trade, economic crises in various countries, the globalization of markets and exchange rates. His work has been published in esteemed academic journals such as International Journal of Emerging Markets, International Trade Journal and Latin American Business Review. Dr. Ghoshal regularly refereed for the Academy of International Business, the International Trade Journal and Management International Review. He remains active in presenting his research at conferences and symposiums. Since retiring, he has published two papers in academic journals.

Dr. Ghoshal contributed to the university through service on committees. Most notably, he served on the Faculty Handbook Committee, playing a key role in shaping the university’s system of shared governance.

CITATIONAnimesh Ghoshal, PhD, in 33 years at DePaul, you were a committed academic and an early leader of expanding opportunities abroad for business students. Your pursuit of educational opportunities in countries throughout the world helped link DePaul to international organizations and universities. Students are better prepared to operate in a global workforce because you had the foresight to encourage international education. With a deep intellectual interest in international economics, you published research in esteemed academic journals and assisted several respected journals by serving as a referee reviewing others’ work. In your academic work and international outreach, you represented DePaul admirably. For these reasons and more, it is a privilege to bestow upon you the Via Sapientiae Award, DePaul University’s highest honor for faculty and staff.

Robert D. O’Keefe, PhDProfessor, Department of Marketing

In 40 years at DePaul, Robert O’Keefe, PhD, committed himself fully to the many roles in which professors can serve. Time and again, the university recognized him for prolific scholarship and teaching excellence. Yet he also dedicated himself to extensive service, granting his time generously on a host of committees at all levels of the institution and improving the College of Business through service in administrative positions.

Dr. O’Keefe joined DePaul in 1975 as an assistant professor. By the time he became a full professor—six years later—he had published a dozen academic articles and chapters, as well as 10 conference proceedings. Throughout his tenure at the university, he remained a prolific researcher. He made a practice of reaching out to junior faculty for collaboration, which frequently resulted in publications. In recent years, his publications addressed pedagogical issues and assessment. In 2004, the university named him a St. Vincent de Paul Professor to honor his commitment to teaching while engaging in a productive program of scholarship. Last year, DePaul presented Dr. O’Keefe the Spirit of Inquiry Award to recognize his scholarly achievements and commitment to creative inquiry, which the university endeavors to inspire in students.

In the classroom, Dr. O’Keefe taught the entire marketing curriculum over the years. Most recently, he primarily taught Principles of Marketing, the introductory course required of all undergraduate business majors that introduces the subject of marketing to students and often leads them to select marketing as a major. The quality of Dr. O’Keefe’s teaching has been recognized with three teaching awards: the Lawrence V. Ryan Distinguished Undergraduate Teaching Award in 1988 and 1999, and the Excellence in Teaching Award in 1996.

Through several administrative positions he held in the College of Business, Dr. O’Keefe played a part in shaping the college into what it is today. From 1978-81, he served as associate dean and director of the Graduate School of Business, and from 1992-96 he served as associate dean for academic and professional programs. In 1996, he organized the college’s accreditation report for the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, including its first report on assessment of student learning. He also developed proposals for a Full-time MBA Program and Weekend MBA Program, both of which remain in existence.

Dr. O’Keefe’s care for the university as a whole was evident in his extensive service on a wide range of committees. He was the first chair of the College Promotion and Tenure Committee and was instrumental in developing fair and consistent guidelines for the committee. His service on other committees include the Commerce Curriculum Committee, Commerce Long-range Planning Committee, University Senate, Faculty Council, Commerce Assessment Committee, University Athletic Board and the President’s Committee on DePaul as a Vincentian University. In 2003, the university presented Dr. O’Keefe the Spirit of DePaul Award to recognize his leadership and service in the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul. The university is a better place because he generously lent his time and wisdom on so many levels.

CITATIONRobert D. O’Keefe, PhD, in your exemplary career at DePaul, you demonstrated how a professor can balance rigorous academic scholarship with a strong dedication to teaching and university service. During your four decades here, you steadily published research in academic journals and books, most recently on the subjects of pedagogy and assessment. At the same time, you committed yourself to excellence in the classroom for which you have been recognized with several DePaul teaching awards. In teaching the entire marketing curriculum, you inspired many students to pursue careers in marketing. Your dedication as an administrator in the College of Business led to service as an associate dean during two periods of time and included your proposals for the Full-time MBA and Weekend MBA Programs. Numerous university committees throughout the institution benefited from your loyal participation. Your generosity and dedication to the success of others and to DePaul exemplify the Vincentian ideals of this university. For these reasons and more, it is a privilege to bestow upon you the Via Sapientiae Award, DePaul University’s highest honor for faculty and staff.

Margaret Oppenheimer, PhDProfessor, Department of Economics

Universities are complex institutions that rely on participation and guidance from students, alumni, faculty and staff to help shape culture and assure its future. In nearly 40 years at DePaul, Margaret Oppenheimer, PhD, devoted countless hours of service to the university in the interest of preserving and improving an academic culture that she has held dear. Because of her willingness to serve and the intellectual power she brought to everything she did, DePaul is a stronger institution.

Dr. Oppenheimer came to DePaul in 1976 as an assistant professor of economics. Three years later, she was promoted to associate professor with tenure, and she became a full professor in 1998. She specialized in several areas of economics, including economics and gender, labor economics, microeconomics, managerial economics, labor markets in transition countries, and law and economics. Through four decades, she maintained a steady pace of research, publishing articles in academic journals and presenting at conferences until her retirement. Though she taught complex topics, students thrived under her instruction.

The largest impact she made on DePaul came through her service on an extensive list of committees on the college and university levels. With a devotion to represent the faculty voice, Dr. Oppenheimer frequently volunteered to serve on some of the most challenging committees. As president of Faculty Council from 1992 to 1995, she handled stressful situations with balance, intelligence and a sense of humor. In addition to her time as president, she served as a Faculty Council representative for more than 10 years and volunteered for task forces related to compensation, university governance and contingent faculty. She held several roles, including president, in the DePaul chapter of Phi Kappa Phi, an academic honor society. She helped guide the university’s future by serving on the University Strategic Planning Coordinating Committee from 1993 to 1995. On the college level, she lent her wisdom to the Graduate Curriculum Committee for six years, including two terms as chair, and served on the Long-range Planning and Positioning Committee. From 1995 to 2001, she led the Department of Economics as chair. Moreover, she generously shared her time with master’s level students as a student advisor and thesis advisor.

Dr. Oppenheimer also expressed her devotion to DePaul by participating in activities that helped enhance the university’s Vincentian heritage. In 2004, she became an inaugural member of the Society of Vincent de Paul Professors, an organization of faculty with the goal of enhancing the educational mission of the university in ways consistent with its distinctive values. Later, she served on the society’s membership committee. From 1999 to 2006, she was a board member of the Vincentian Endowment Fund, which finances grant projects that directly enhance the identity of DePaul as a Catholic, Vincentian and urban university with special attention to the Catholic and Vincentian aspects of this identity.

Her career has been a model that colleagues and students alike can emulate.

CITATIONMargaret Oppenheimer, PhD, your exemplary 38-year career at DePaul was marked by care of students, enthusiasm for research and love of service to the university. Through four decades, you taught and encouraged students in the field of economics. You produced and published research on labor economics, the economics of gender, law and economics and labor markets in transition countries. You served as chair of the Department of Economics, president of Faculty Council and on numerous Faculty Council committees that explored issues that were important to your fellow faculty members and their careers. Your colleagues appreciate the balanced perspective you brought to challenging situations, and your willingness to serve no matter the circumstances. You helped DePaul strengthen its Vincentian values through your membership in the Society of Vincent de Paul Professors and your service on the board of the Vincentian Endowment Fund. For these reasons and more, it is a privilege to bestow upon you the Via Sapientiae Award, DePaul University’s highest honor for faculty and staff.
