Welcome from the President

COMMENCEMENT 2021 5

Commencement is the high point of the academic year and has always been a special day at Tus.

While this year’s virtual celebration makes us less anxious about the weather forecast, this moment is no less

extraordinary and no less distinguished.

Aer a period of rigorous study, intellectual pursuit, and personal growth, our students stand ready to graduate

from their respective academic programs and this great university. Today, we celebrate their achievements and

recognize all those who have helped make this day possible.

I do not need to remind you of the challenges this past year has brought for our graduates. They have navigated

changing guidelines and varied forms of instruction. They have practiced personal discipline amidst restrictive

recommendations. And they have overcome bouts of emotional and mental fatigue and loneliness. All of

our graduates have also experienced some form of loss. However, through it all, they have shown grace and

resilience that have led to the triumph of this day.

As we confer their degrees today, it is important to recognize the role of all those who have supported these

students to reach this moment of success during this particularly trying year. The family members, friends,

faculty, and sta who have all worked together to ensure that these graduates were well-equipped to address

the myriad challenges in their path, not only this past year but during their entire time at Tus, deserve our

thanks and appreciation.

Today’s graduates arrived at Tus with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences. As they pursued

rigorous courses of study, they also acted as agents of social change who have le their mark on this university

and will undoubtedly leave their mark on our society soon aer they have departed our campuses.

Finally, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the high standards today’s graduates have set during

their time at Tus. Their resourcefulness in navigating unforeseen circumstances, caring for and liing each

other up, and ghting for the rights of all those who are marginalized in our society have set the bar high for

future generations of students. We are proud of you and how you have lived your lives as members of the

Tus community.

Congratulations to our graduates. I wish all of you the very best and look forward to welcoming you back on

campus as alumni.

Sincerely,

Anthony P. Monaco

President

Dear Alma Mater

Leo R. Lewis A1887

We con beside thy knee,

Dear Alma Mater,

Earth’s book of mystery,

Dear Alma Mater,

We track the storied past,

Dear Alma Mater,

Over plains of learning vast,

Dear Alma Mater,

Speed on thy sunlit way,

Dear Alma Mater,

We vow new faith today,

Dear Alma Mater!

May glory light thy name,

Dear Alma Mater,

All thy children sing thy fame,

Dear Alma Mater, for aye!

Tuftonia’s Day

Elliot Wright Hayes A1916

Steady and true, rush along, Brown and Blue.

Raise a mighty score today.

Fearless tear down the field and never yield!

Brown and Blue, Brown and Blue for aye!

Hammer them hard, boys, and break through their guard.

That is old Tuftonia’s way.

And our glorious banner once again will wave o’er

Tuftonia’s Day.

T-u-f-t-s, T-u-f-t-s, Hurrah! Hurrah! for dear old Brown

and Blue!

Refrain:

Up on the Hill tonight all will be gay.

Victorious in the fight, we’ll raise the standard of dear old

Tufts to glory!

Pile up a mighty score.

It’s bound to soar.

Now one goal more!

Nothing can stop us; it’s Tuftonia’s Day.

Academic Mace

Ceremonial maces were originally carried as a symbol of royal

authority, dating back to the Middle Ages. The academic mace

is a symbol of the authority invested in the president by the

university’s governing body. Tufts’ mace is adorned with a

medallion engraved with the official seal of the university and

is carried before the president in academic processions in

formal ceremonies such as commencement and inaugurations.

The mahogany stand displaying the mace was designed and

built by students from Medford Vocational Technical High

School and was presented to President Monaco in April 2015.

Academic Regalia

Traditional academic regalia has been worn by the Tufts faculty

since the Commencement of 1906. The gown for the bachelor’s

degree has pointed sleeves and is designed to be worn closed.

The master’s gown has elbow-length, pointed sleeves; the

doctor’s gown has bell-shaped sleeves; both may be worn open

or closed. The doctor’s gown is faced, and the sleeves are

trimmed with velvet. By its color and arrangement, the hood

worn with the gown indicates the wearer’s highest advanced

degree, the field in which it was awarded, and the school from

which it came. The lining of the hood carries the school’s colors,

brown and blue in the case of Tufts. The velvet edging on the

hood, wider for the doctor’s degree than for the master’s degree,

signifies by its color the field in which the degree was designated.

Master of science and doctor of science hoods are trimmed

in yellow; Engineering in orange; Medicine in green; Dental

Medicine in lilac; Doctor of Philosophy in blue; and Veterinary

Medicine in gray. The mortarboard or Oxford-type cap is the

one usually worn, but of late, the soft cap, which resembles

an oversized beret, has come into favor because of its comfort.

Tassels, other than the universally accepted black, may indicate

by the various colors the field of learning in which the degree

is earned, while the gold tassel generally signifies a doctoral

degree. Many foreign universities show great diversity, following

traditions that extend back for centuries.

Recipients of Honorary Degrees

COMMENCEMENT 2021 11

With a distinguished career in service to country that

began during her years as an undergraduate student on

the Hill, Major General MARIA B. BARRETT, J88, is

today the commanding general of the U.S. Army Network

Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM) at Fort

Huachuca, Arizona, where her organization secures,

operates, and defends the U.S. Army’s global enterprise

networks. Her keen understanding of military tactics and

her expertise in communications ensure information

superiority and freedom of access to the network in all

phases of military operations.

Barrett began her military career as a second lieutenant

in Tufts University’s Army ROTC program. She served

in the Gulf War as a first lieutenant and platoon leader.

She also served in both Kuwait, as a colonel in support

of Operation Iraqi Resolve, as well as in the war in

Afghanistan.Promoted in 2015 to brigadier general,

she joined the Army Cyber Command, where she was

responsible for Department of Defense information

networks, militarycyberspace operations, and U.S.

freedom of action in cyberspace.

A recipient of the Bronze Star Medal, the Defense

Superior Service Medal, and the Legion of Merit, Barrett

has earned numerous decorations and awards. In addition

to her bachelor of arts degree in international relations

from Tufts, she also holds a master of science degree in

national resource strategy from Industrial College of the

Armed Forces (now the Dwight D. Eisenhower School for

National Security and Resource Strategy), and a master

of arts degree in telecommunications management from

Webster University.

In a milestone for the U.S. Army, Barrett and her sister,

Brigadier General Paula Lodi, have been recognized by the

Army as the first pair of sisters in the history of the service

to become generals.

Barrett will receive an honorary Doctor of Public

Service degree.

Physician, medical researcher, and academician

WILLIAM BAZEYO is a tireless advocate for

interdisciplinary One Health education in Africa. As

professor of occupational medicine at Uganda’s Makerere

University, he has served the university in a variety of

roles over the years, including as deputy vice chancellor

and dean of the school of public health.

Bazeyo brings expertise to bear on tackling the most

daunting challenges in his nation and region. He has

contributed his innovative leadership to One Health

initiatives across central and eastern Africa and to the

support of government efforts to control tobacco use.

Beneficiaries of his efforts include ResilientAfrica Network,

which leverages science and technology to strengthen the

resilience of African communities against natural and

manmade stresses, and the Monitoring and Evaluation

Technical Support Program, which employs an evidence-

based approach as part of Uganda’s response to HIV.

Bazeyo’s work has been funded by USAID, the Centers

for Disease Control, and the Bill and Melinda Gates

Foundation, among others.

Bazeyo is also active globally, including playing a

critical role in Strategies to Prevent Spillover, a five-year

program led by Tufts to strengthen institutions in countries

across Africa and Asia as they curb the risk and spread of

zoonotic spillover. Most recently, Bazeyo was a member of

the team of Ugandan scientists who invented a homemade

COVID-19 rapid-testing kit, now being used in schools and

hard-to-reach parts of the country.

He also chairs several professional boards and

committees both in Uganda and regionally, including

Uganda’s National Research and Innovation Fund under

the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation.

He is a recipient of Uganda’s highest civilian honor, the

Gold Medal.

Bazeyo holds a bachelor of medicine and bachelor

of surgery degree from Makerere University, a master of

medicine degree with a specialty in occupational health

from the National University of Singapore, and a Ph.D.

from Atlantic International University.

Bazeyo will receive an honorary Doctor of Science degree.

STACEY B. GABRIEL is pushing the boundaries of

the genomic frontier as senior director of the Genomics

Platform at Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Under her

far-sighted guidance, the Genomics Platform is one of the

largest gene-sequencing centers in the world as it explores

and defines the future of genomics technology. Her early

work provided foundational research for the International

HapMap Project, which created a map of the human

genome by haplotype (that is, by groups of genes inherited

together from a single parent).

A major focus of her research is using genomic techniques

to understand the genetic basis of common diseases. She

has served on the steering committee for the 1000 Genomes

Project, the world’s largest public catalog of human variation

Recipients of Honorary Degrees

12 TUFTS UNIVERSITY

and genotype data; the landmark Cancer Genome Atlas;

and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s TOPMed

program, which targets disease treatments tailored to an

individual’s unique genes and environment.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Gabriel

developed and executed the viral diagnostic effort of the

Broad Institute. Under her leadership, the lab rapidly

became the largest testing lab in New England, and one

that also contributes substantially to testing numbers for

the entire nation. Tufts is one of the many communities

that has benefited from the lab’s robust testing output,

allowing for enhanced infection-rate monitoring and

keeping transmission numbers low. For having helped to

set a new standard for COVID-19 testing, she was named

by The Boston Globe in 2020 as a “Bostonian of the Year.”

Gabriel has been recognized by Clarivate Analytics

six years in a row as one of the world's most highly cited

scientists in molecular biology and genetics. She received

a bachelor of science in molecular biology from Carnegie

Mellon University and a Ph.D. in human genetics from Case

Western Reserve University.

Gabriel will receive an honorary Doctor of Science degree.

A widely acclaimed public interest lawyer, BRYAN

STEVENSON has dedicated his career to helping

the poor, the incarcerated, and the condemned. He

is the founder and executive director of the Equal

Justice Initiative (EJI), a human rights organization in

Montgomery, Alabama. Under his leadership, EJI has won

major legal challenges eliminating excessive and unfair

sentencing, exonerating innocent death row prisoners,

confronting abuse of the incarcerated and the mentally ill,

and aiding children prosecuted as adults.

Stevenson found his calling while a student at Harvard

Law School when he worked for Stephen Bright’s Southern

Center for Human Rights, which provides representation

for death row inmates throughout the American south.

He joined the Atlanta-based center full-time upon his

Harvard graduation in 1985. In 1989, he moved to Alabama

to run a branch of the center in Montgomery, which would

become EJI.

At the time of EJI’s founding, Alabama was the only

state that did not provide legal assistance to people on death

row, and still has no statewide public defender program.

The cause of people sentenced to the death penalty became

more dire in 1995 after Congress eliminated funding for

death-penalty defense for lower-income people. Through

EJI, Stevenson guaranteed a defense to anyone in Alabama

sentenced to the death penalty.

Stevenson has argued and won multiple cases at the

United States Supreme Court, including a 2019 ruling

protecting condemned prisoners who suffer from dementia

and a landmark 2012 ruling that banned mandatory life-

imprisonment-without-parole sentences for all children 17

or younger. He and his staff have won reversals, relief, or

release from prison for more than 135 wrongly condemned

prisoners on death row and won relief for hundreds of

others wrongly convicted or unfairly sentenced.

Dedicated to anti-poverty and anti-discrimination

efforts, Stevenson led the creation of two highly acclaimed

cultural sites that opened in 2018 in Montgomery: the

Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace

and Justice. These new national landmark institutions

chronicle the legacy of slavery, lynching, and racial

segregation, and the connection to mass incarceration and

contemporary issues of racial bias.

A MacArthur Foundation “Genius” Prize recipient,

Stevenson has received numerous awards and medals for his

work in civil rights and international human rights. He was

inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in

2014 and won the Lannan Cultural Freedom Prize, which is

awarded for a lifetime of remarkable achievement.

He is the author of the critically acclaimed New York

Times bestseller,Just Mercy, which was recently adapted as

a major motion picture. A graduate of Harvard Law School

and the Harvard Kennedy School, Stevenson is also a

professor of law at the New York University School of Law.

Stevenson will receive an honorary Doctor of Laws degree.

Raised in a dairy-farming family in a small village in

eastern Turkey, HAMDI ULUKAYA is the founder and

CEO of Chobani. In fewer than five years of its founding,

Chobani became the top-selling Greek yogurt brand in the

United States—and an organization that has been lauded as

a “Change the World” company by Forbes. Other honors for

the company include a Salute to Greatness Award by The

Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change

and its having been named one of the Best Places to Work

for LGBTQ Equality by the Human Rights Campaign.

Ulukaya has a vision for industry leadership imbued

with compassion and humanitarianism. From the

beginning, Chobani has donated a portion of its profits to

charitable causes, many of them in Idaho and New York,

where its products are made. A champion of reducing

Recipients of Honorary Degrees

COMMENCEMENT 2021 13

income and wealth inequality nationwide, Ulukaya raised

the starting hourly wage to at least $15 an hour—more

than double the federal minimum wage. He also took the

rare step in manufacturing of instituting a six-week, fully

paid parental leave program for all mothers and fathers

employed by the company.

In 2016, Ulukaya launched the Chobani Food

Incubator to mentor and support socially responsible

food entrepreneurs and further the company’s commitment

to food accessibility. Ulukaya also founded the Tent

Partnership for Refugees to mobilize the private sector

to improve the lives and livelihoods of the more than

25 million refugees around the globe. He also signed the

Giving Pledge and committed the majority of his personal

wealth to the cause. For these efforts, he was named an

Eminent Advocate by the United Nations Refugee Agency

and received the United Nations Foundation Global

Leadership Award, among other honors.

Ulukaya sits on the board of Catalyst, a nonprofit

dedicated to building inclusive workplaces for women

and is a member of B Team, a collective of global leaders

working to inspire dialogue and business action for

a fairer, greener, and more human economy. An avid

fan of independent films and the Turkish soccer team

Fenerbahce, Ulukaya lives in New Berlin, New York.

Ulukaya will receive an honorary Doctor of Humane

Letters degree.

A member of the Tohono O’odham Nation, educator and

activist OFELIA ZEPEDA has dedicated her career to

the preservation of O’odham (the language spoken by

the Tohono O’odham, Akimel O’odham, and Hia C-ed

O’odham) and its culture. She co-founded and directs the

American Indian Language Development Institute at the

University of Arizona, where she is a Regents’ Professor

of Linguistics. Through the institute, Zepeda has worked

with more than 2,000 students—Native American language

educators, researchers, advocates, and activists, most of

whom return to their tribal communities.

A powerful voice for the reclamation and preservation of

Indigenous tongues and for ensuring the rights of Indigenous

peoples to speak their languages, Zepeda was nominated

to serve on the international taskforce for the UNESCO

International Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022–2032),

as the group’s sole representative for the Indigenous people

of the United States. Her advocacy is credited as helping

drive forward the Native American Languages Act of 1990,

a law that has inspired others to revitalize and support

Indigenous languages around the world.

For a lifetime of work devoted to education about,

maintenance of, and recovery of languages belonging

to Indigenous people, she has been awarded a

MacArthur Fellowship.

Zepeda is the author of three books of poetry: Ocean

Power: Poems from the Desert, Jewed I-Hoi/Earth Movements,

and Where Clouds Are Formed. She also wrote Tohono

O’odham Grammar and co-edited Home Places, a celebration

of 20 years of publication of the Sun Tracks series, a book

series publishing Native American authors. Her poems

and essays have appeared in numerous anthologies and

journals, and her work was recently published in When the

Light of the World Was Subdued, Our Songs Came Through,

edited by U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo.

Zepeda will receive an honorary Doctor of Letters degree.

this covenant:

I will respect the hard-won scientic gains of those physicians in

whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine

with those who are to follow.

I will apply, for the benet of the sick, all measures, which

are required, avoiding those twin traps of over-treatment and

therapeutic nihilism.

I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science,

and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh

the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug.

I will not be ashamed to say, “I know not,” nor will I fail to call

in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a

patient’s recovery.

I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not

disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I

tread with care in matters of life and death.

I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, or a cancerous

growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may aect the

person’s family and economic stability. My responsibility includes

these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.

I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable

to cure.

I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special

obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind

and body, as well as the inrm.

If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected

while I live and remembered with aection thereaer.

May I always act so as to preserve the nest traditions of my

calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who

seek my help.
