The Alma Mater
In the heart of dear old EmoryWhere the sun doth shine,
That is where our hearts are turning’Round old Emory’s shrine.
We will ever sing thy praises,
Sons and daughters true.Hail we now our Alma Mater,
Hail the Gold and Blue!
Tho’ the years around us gather,
Crowned with love and cheer,Still the memory of Old Emory
Grows to us more dear.
We will ever sing thy praises,Sons and daughters true.
Hail we now our Alma Mater,Hail the Gold and Blue!

drafted legal memoranda for the Southern Regional Office of Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund on behalf of LGBT and HIV-positive individuals, researched Islamic law and interna-tional human rights issues for the School of Law, and organized an important panel discussion for Emory’s Office of LGBT Life. Schladt has made enormous contributions to the School of Law, the university as a whole, and the larger community—informing Emory students and delivering legal services to historically under-served Atlanta communities. In the best tradition of Brittain Award recipients, Schladt has dedicated herself to “service performed without expectation of reward or recognition.”
Presentation of the University Scholar/Teacher Award
Chosen by the university president from nominations by the deans on behalf of the United Methodist Church Board of Higher Education and Ministry.
Michelle LamplCharles Howard Candler Professor of Human HealthDirector, Center for the Study of Human Health
A physician-scientist, Michelle Lampl has developed and shaped programs such as Predictive Health and the Study of Human Health, which distinguish Emory on the national stage. Her research represents an exciting paradigm shift in the science of human growth, proving that we grow in spurts instead of con-tinuously. Lampl established the science behind the saltatory nature of growth by developing a methodical sequence of investigations involving descriptive human and animal studies, analytic method development, and innovations in noninvasive approaches that can be applied to children as they grow in real time. At the forefront of work that is fundamentally interdisciplinary in nature, Lampl has collaborated with colleagues both close to home and international. With early growth recognized as a cornerstone of health across the life span, Lampl and an Emory colleague are investigating “smart clothing,” which will enable real-time assessment of body dimensions and a noninvasive approach to measuring growth. Smart clothing would permit assessment of growth among the most vulnerable individuals in need of this science—preterm infants. This exciting and far-reaching research has led to invita-tions to speak worldwide as well as extensive media interest. Fostering participation and creative expression in the classroom, Lampl is recognized as a pedagogical master who was called upon to deliver the Distinguished Faculty Lecture in 1999 and earned the Emory Williams Distinguished Undergraduate Teaching Award in 2003. A model for many of her peers, Lampl sparks student imagi-nation by pushing hard at the edges of the speculative, never failing to acknowledge the partnership between teacher and student in unearthing new knowledge. In addition to deep support of gradu-ate research, she has advised more than a dozen undergraduate research projects. Her ample service record extends to the university’s most sig-nificant committees, including tenure and promotion and strategic planning. Beyond her preeminence as a scholar and teacher, Lampl is an institution builder of the first order.
Presentation of the Marion Luther Brittain Service Awards
This award, symbolic of all honors bestowed on students by the university, is an expression of gratitude for service performed without expectation of reward or recognition. The award was established at Emory in 1942 through a bequest from a distinguished Emory alumnus, former President Brittain of the Georgia Institute of Technology. The Brittain Award is presented annually to two students, one each representing Emory’s undergraduate and graduate student bodies.
Jalyn G. Radziminski 18CUndergraduate Recipient
Jalyn Radziminski, a graduating senior majoring in linguistics and interdisciplinary studies with a human rights focus, has been named the 2018 undergraduate recipient of the univer-sity’s highest student honor, the Marion Luther Brittain Service Award, recognizing meritorious service to the institution. Radziminski is a member of the first cohort of the 1915 Scholars program, which provides support for first-generation students. A trailblazer in her family, she is also a trailblazer in the Emory com-munity through her tireless commitment to the university and her fellow students—serving, for example, as a peer mentor to encour-age and support other 1915 Scholars. As an activist, Radziminski helped lead Emory’s first Racial Justice Retreat and founded the Black Mental Health Ambassadors, a program that connects communities of color with mental and emotional health resources. Through her leadership in Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority, Multiethnic Racial Group at Emory, and Issues Troupe, she executed social justice initiatives and dialogues around multiracial identity, intersectionality, and solidarity among communities. During her internship with the Emory Alumni Association, Radziminski fostered alumni engagement and improved student recruitment. She also served as outreach chair for Students for Prison Education and Resistance and as a representative to the Emory University Senate. Throughout her Emory experience, Radziminski has embraced numerous opportunities to serve and lead and to enhance the Emory experience for all students. In so generously sharing her time, talent, and commitment, she encouraged others to do the same, bequeathing an extraordinary legacy of “significant, merito-rious, and devoted service to Emory University.”
Nicole J. Schladt 18LGraduate Recipient
Nicole Schladt, candidate for the juris doctor at Emory’s School of Law, has been named the 2018 graduate recipient of the Marion Luther Brittain Service Award. With a master of philoso-phy in international relations and politics from the University of Cambridge, Schladt came to Emory on a Woodruff Fellowship. Even in a community of leaders such as Emory, Schladt is distin-guished by her extraordinary commitment to leadership and service on behalf of those who are underserved. She has provided signifi-cant support for a range of Emory’s public service organizations including OUTLaw, the Legal Association for Women Students, the Emory Law Diversity and Inclusion Coalition, and the Emory Public Interest Committee, among others. When Schladt decides to address a problem, no matter how daunting, she finds a way. For example, she was instrumental in launching Emory LGBTQ Legal Services, helped prosecute felony cases with the Office of the DeKalb County District Attorney,

Charles E. MooreProfessor of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck SurgerySchool of MedicineChief of Otolaryngology, Grady Memorial Hospital
Dedicated to the underserved of Atlanta, Charles Moore founded the HEAL (Health Education Assessment and Leadership) program in 2004 as a mobile educational resource. Initially focused on head and neck cancer, he soon expanded his efforts to other areas of medicine and eventually secured a home base: the HEALing Community Center, which provides health education and primary and specialty care in the neediest West Atlanta zip codes. The recipient of federal funding, thanks to Moore, the center serves as a teaching base for a variety of Emory units—the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health; Emory College; Laney Graduate School—as well as partners at Morehouse School of Medicine, Mercer School of Nursing, and Georgia Institute of Technology. As codirector of the Urban Health Initiative, which advances equity in health and well-being throughout metro Atlanta, Moore obtained a $1 million grant to support operations. And before investing, Moore never fails to ask people what they need. Access to healthy food is one, and in response, the Urban Health Initiative created a community garden alongside a Super Giant grocery store. Highly respected by his peers, Moore is a member of the Board of Governors of the American Academy of Otolaryngology and of the American Cancer Society. He is also president-elect of the American Association for Cancer Education. At Emory, Moore has been honored with the Faculty Excellence Award, the Hidden Gem Award, and the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Award. In 2015, the American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery chose him for the Jerome C. Goldstein, MD Public Service Award and, in 2017, he was the recipient of the Atlanta Hawks Inspiration Award for Excellence in Community Service. To Moore, though, the highest honor came from a patient at the HEALing Community Center, who said, “This is a lifesaver to me—a complete game changer.”

The following awards will be presented during the diploma ceremony at the school of each recipient.
The Emory Williams Awards for Distinguished Teaching

(1954), with Dorothy Dandridge, and Odds Against Tomorrow (1959), with Harry Belafonte. In 1954, she made her Broadway debut in House of Flowers, written by Truman Capote with music by Harold Arlen. Her career includes dancing in ballets created for her by Lester Horton, Geoffrey Holder, Alvin Ailey, Glen Tetley, John Butler, and Agnes de Mille. De Lavallade succeeded her cousin Janet Collins as the principal dancer with the Metropolitan Opera and was a guest artist with American Ballet Theatre. She has choreographed for Dance Theatre of Harlem, Philadanco, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and the productions of Porgy and Bess and Die Meistersinger at the Metropolitan Opera. She has also had an extensive acting career, performing in numerous off-Broadway productions, including Death of a Salesman and Othello. She taught movement for actors at Yale and was a member of the Yale Repertory Company and the American Repertory Theatre at Harvard. De Lavallade and her late husband, Geoffrey Holder, were the subjects of the film Carmen and Geoffrey (2005), which chronicled their sixty-year partnership and artistic legacy. Her most recent work includes 651 ART’s FLY: Five First Ladies of Dance (2009), Step-Mother by Ruby Dee (2009), Post Black by Regina Taylor (2011), and the Broadway production of A Streetcar Named Desire (2012). She toured a dance/theater work about her life titled As I Remember It, which premiered in June 2014. De Lavallade received the Dance Magazine Award in 1964, an honorary doctorate of fine arts from the Juilliard School in 2007, the Duke Ellington Fellowship Award, and the Dance USA Award in 2010. She was honored for her contributions as a dancer and choreographer at the fortieth annual Kennedy Center Honors gala in 2017. She has transcended the once-restrictive realms of American theater and ballet and continues to inspire generations of artists and audiences. Ms. de Lavallade will be presented by Michael A. Elliott, dean of Emory College of Arts and Sciences.
Gay J. McDougallAttorney and Human Rights Advocate Doctor of Laws, honoris causa Gay J. McDougall, an attorney who has been instrumental in crafting human-rights legislation for emerging democracies, is an Atlanta native. She holds a JD from Yale Law School and an LLM from the London School of Economics. She received a BA from Bennington College and attended Agnes Scott College as the first African American woman to integrate the school. McDougall is engaged in human-rights advocacy, litigation, and training activities in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Her contributions to the fight against apartheid in South Africa have been both innovative and highly effective. As director of the Southern Africa Project of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, she worked closely with South African human rights attorneys, defended political prisoners, worked with South African negotiators to evaluate constitutional options, and suc-cessfully lobbied the US Congress to pass the Anti-Apartheid Act. McDougall’s efforts were so effective, and her network of lawyers and supporters so extensive, that when South Africa established the Independent Electoral Commission to organize and oversee the country’s first nonracial democratic election, she was one of only five non–South Africans—and the only American—appointed to the sixteen-member commission. It was in that capacity that she accompanied Nelson Mandela as he voted on April 27, 1994, in the election that would result in his becoming South Africa’s first black head of state and that country’s first elected in a representa-tive democratic election. After McDougall stepped down as director of the Southern Africa Project in 1994, she continued her human rights work in a

As a charter member of Feeding America, the national network of food banks, Bolling was instrumental in the creation of food banks across the country. He is a frequent speaker on topics related to hunger, poverty, regionalism, affordable housing, and public policy reform.

Michael Dubin 01C Alumnus and Entrepreneur Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa
Emory alumnus Michael Dubin, cofounder and chief executive officer of Dollar Shave Club, is a creative entrepreneur, exec-utive, and trailblazing brand builder. Under Dubin’s leadership, Dollar Shave Club revolutionized the razor industry, growing to become the second-largest men’s razor seller in the US. The company gained atten-tion in 2011, after Dubin’s YouTube marketing campaign went viral for its unique brand of humor. The company made a name for itself as a direct-to-consumer subscription razor blades service, cutting costs and passing on savings to consumers. It has been recognized with several prestigious designations and awards, including two Webbys, a CLIO Image Award, several Internet Retailer Excellence Awards, and an American Business Award. The company was acquired by Unilever in July of 2016 for $1 billion in one of the largest deals in ecom-merce history. Under Dubin’s leadership, the company has expanded into more than thirty products across five categories. He has been recognized by Ernst & Young as the 2016 Entrepreneur of the Year, in Fortune’s 40 Under 40, and in Business Insider’s 30 Most Creative People in Advertising. Dubin, who received a BA in history from Emory in 2001, was the keynote speaker at the first Emory Entrepreneurship Summit, orga-nized and hosted by Goizueta Business School in April 2015. He was an inaugural recipient of the Emory Alumni Association’s 40 Under Forty Alumni Recognition program in 2017. Dubin grew up in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, and began his career in New York as an NBC page, followed by an editorial stint at MSNBC. He then transitioned to digital marketing, developing cus-tom content for brand advertisers, including Gatorade and the video game company EA, and on behalf of properties such as Time Inc. and SI.com. Just before founding Dollar Shave Club, Dubin worked in the video seeding space, creating and driving engagement to branded content made by companies such as LG, Ford, Capital One, and Taco Bell. Dubin is passionate about content, comedy, and entertainment. He studied improv and sketch comedy for more than eight years at the Upright Citizens Brigade in New York. He currently resides in Venice, California. Mr. Dubin will be presented by Erika James, dean of Goizueta Business School.

Emory University Commencement 2018 53
Emory College of Arts and Sciences originated from a concern for higher education in a Christian setting on the part of the Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Chartered in 1836 in Oxford, Georgia, the college was named after John Emory (1789–1835), bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1964 the college at Oxford was named Oxford College of Emory University.
Emory College became Emory University by virtue of a char-ter granted by the Superior Court of DeKalb County on January 25, 1915. Although classes on the Atlanta campus were begun in the schools of law and theology as early as 1916, the college did not move to Atlanta until 1919. The university now includes nine schools, most tracing their origins to years before the chartering of the university itself. These schools are Emory College and Oxford College (1836), the School of Medicine (1854), Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing (1905), Candler School of Theology (1914), the School of Law (1916), Roberto C. Goizueta Business School (1919), the James T. Laney School of Graduate Studies (1919), and Rollins School of Public Health (1990).
The intent of the founders is perpetuated by the university’s vision statement: A destination university internationally recognized as an inquiry-driven, ethically engaged, and diverse community, whose members work collaboratively for positive transformation in the world through courageous leadership in teaching, research, scholarship, health care, and social action.
A Short History of Commencement at Emory
This is Emory’s 173rd commencement. The exercises witnessed today represent an imposition of medieval academic tradition on an institution that had its roots in the nineteenth-century frontier. The first Emory commencement was held in 1840, four years after Emory College had been chartered and two years after the college’s first classes. That first ceremony, however, was without graduating students, as there were no graduates until the following year. Then, as now, sermons and addresses had a central focus in the exercises, though rarely have these addresses been so crucial as in 1849, when all fifteen members of the graduating class were assigned speaking places and spoke for as long as half an hour each.
Early commencement audiences sat for up to four hours in the midsummer heat to listen to the numerous student and fac-ulty orations on such topics as “Our Government Unfavorable to High Attainment in Literature,” “Social Equality,” and “Modern Refinements.” These addresses in the early days were in English, contrary to the practice at many other institutions. As President A. B. Longstreet argued in 1842, speeches in Latin and Greek were “worthy of the name pedantry, and nothing more.” In spite of this advice, several later generations of students instructed their audi-ences in the ancient tongues.
Academic Dress and Customs
Academic dress goes back to the founding of European universi-ties, which were the products of the intellectual revival of the twelfth century. All medieval students were clerks and consequently wore the dress of clergy. This is the academic costume we wear today, with certain changes introduced in the sixteenth century by Protestant reformers. The oldest articles of academic wear were the robe, over which was worn the habit, usually a kind of tunic with short, wide sleeves. The medieval hood was lined with fur or inexpensive skins and could be gathered around the neck or pulled up on the head as a turban. It is uncertain when different colors became associated with different degrees.
There were four kinds of caps: the round cap, reserved for doc-toral dignity; the tena, a round cap with strings tied under the chin, worn by jurists; the square cap; and the Tudor bonnet. At Oxford University in 1565 the square cap became the norm, but the facul-ties that had become laicized adopted the Tudor bonnet that is still worn by doctoral candidates today. The basic design of all academ-ic costume in the United States was first established in 1895 and was first used at Emory by the Class of 1902. The bachelor’s gown features an embroidered Emory University seal in gold thread and has long, pointed, open sleeves. The master’s gown has longer sleeves, which are closed at the bottom with openings about mid-way for the hands. Beginning in 2014, the bachelor’s and master’s gowns are made of fabric spun from molten plastic pellets from recycled water bottles. An average of twenty-three post-consumer plastic bottles are used to create each gown, furthering Emory’s commitment to sustainability initiatives. The doctor’s gown has full-length lapels of velvet and bell-shaped sleeves with three hori-zontal velvet bars. Tassels for bachelor’s and master’s caps are black; tassels of gold thread may be worn by doctors. Gowns and caps are usually black, although Emory and some other schools have specified that their doctors may wear gowns of distinctive col-ors. Yale’s deep blue doctoral gown, Harvard’s crimson, Columbia’s dark blue, and Emory’s blue and gold are a few that may be seen in the procession.
The hood varies for the respective degrees, the doctor’s hood being longer and fuller than the master’s. The field of study can be determined from the velvet facing on the hood according to the following color scheme: white, the arts; gold-yellow, science; purple, law; apricot, nursing; green, medicine; teal, physical therapy; scarlet, theology; salmon, public health; drab, business; and dark blue, doctors of philosophy. The hood is lined with silk in the colors of the degree-granting institution. For Emory graduates the lining is blue with a chevron of gold.
The president of Emory University wears a badge of office given to the university in 1965 by the Emory chapter, Gamma of Georgia, of Phi Beta Kappa. Designed by Eric Clements of Birmingham, England, and executed by the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths in London, the solid gold badge is an open teardrop enclosing the raised seal of the university and is suspended on a gold chain.
The chief marshal and deputy marshals lead the academic procession. The faculty marshals and the secretary of the university jointly manage the forming of the procession, the seating of com-mencement participants, and the planning of other aspects of com-mencement exercises. Marshals are identified by their unique blue tunics, which are sleeveless and lined with gold.
The Quadrangle stage with blue canopy was named the University Marshals’ Stage in honor of the dedication and service provided by Emory’s chief marshals throughout history.
The university mace is carried in the procession by the imme-diate past president of the Student Government Associa tion. Academically the mace is the symbol of a university as a corporate

body of scholars possessing its own jurisdiction and its own legally constituted authority. Traditionally the mace is borne in procession immediately before the chief officer of a university and is placed before her or him during formal academic ceremonies.
The mace of Emory University, a gift from D.V.S., an Emory College senior honor society, was designed by Eric Clements and executed in silver and gold by the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. In the teardrop at the apex of the mace, against a background of oxidized silver, is a freestanding representation in gold of a human skeleton. This is Dooley, the “spirit” of Emory, who traditionally “rises” once each spring and for a week rules campus. Immediately below the skeleton, in an open teardrop, is a gold sphere divided (by stippling) into eight segments. Topping the sphere is a simple cross, symbolizing the relationship of Emory University to the Methodist church. The seal of the university is sculptured in gold within the circular base.
Before each school in the procession, the school’s student mar-shal carries its gonfalon, a banner in the color associated with the respective school’s degree: medicine, green; public health, salmon; nursing, apricot; theology, scarlet; law, purple; and business, drab. The gonfalon of the graduate school is gold representing Emory’s gold, and the gonfalons of Emory College and Oxford College represent Emory’s blue.
Emory Alumni Legacy Medallion
Graduating students who have a parent, grandparent, and/or sibling who is also an Emory graduate are wearing specially commissioned medallions hanging from blue and gold ribbons. The medallions are expressions of the university’s gratitude to those families who have chosen to continue the Emory education tradition throughout the generations.
The Commencement Setting
Spectators on the Quadrangle are seated facing the former Pitts Theology Library, one of the two oldest buildings on the Atlanta campus. Designed by the distinguished Pittsburgh architect Henry Hornbostel (1867–1961), the Old Theology Building was the original theology building in 1916. It was renovated in 1975 by architect Paul Rudolph to house the expanded library collection of Candler School of Theology. The building is under renovation again, scheduled to reopen in 2019 as a community gathering space and to welcome visitors and members of the campus com-munity alike as they meet with the university’s president and other leaders.
Directly behind the spectators are Carlos Hall, the other original campus building, and the expanded Michael C. Carlos Museum. Formerly home to the School of Law, Carlos Hall was renovated in 1986 according to a design by Michael Graves to house the museum and the Department of Art History. The museum is named for the philanthropist who donated most of the cost of the facility. It was designed to maintain the classic symmetry and proportion of the surrounding buildings, which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Bowden Hall, east of the museum, was constructed in 1951 in the same style as the original campus buildings. Originally the History Building, it was renamed in 1991 in honor of the late Henry L. Bowden, former chair of the Board of Trustees of Emory University. To the southeast of Bowden Hall is the Center for Library and Information Resources. The center joins the tall, red-tile-crowned Robert W. Woodruff Library and is linked to the Asa Griggs Candler Memorial Library at the east end of the Quadrangle. Candler Library was dedicated in 1926 in honor of the man who donated the land for the campus and who provided the university with strong leadership in its early years.
Next to the Old Theology Building is the Loula Walker and Ely Reeves Callaway Sr. Memorial Center. Thanks to a generous gift from alumnus Ely R. Callaway Jr. in honor of his parents, this cen-ter joins the former Humanities Building with the original Physics Building, which was constructed in 1919.
At the west end of the Quadrangle is the Administration Building (1955), a gift of Charles Howard Candler. Like his father, Asa, Charles chaired the Board of Trustees for many years. Between the Administration Building and the former Pitts Library sits the more modern White Hall, the main classroom build-ing of Emory College. Above the trees on the north side of the Quadrangle are the curved red roof of the William R. Cannon Chapel—designed by Paul Rudolph and dedicated in 1981—and the towers of Emory University Hospital to the east.
