G-(031700 rUniversitp of ®reg-on {yonvocation UNIVERSITY OF OREGON CONVOCATION SEPTEMBER 28 , 2008 The president's centennial medallion, shown above, was commissioned in 1975 and is worn by the president as a badge of office during formal university ceremonies. Paul Buckner, professor emeritus of the Department of Art, created and executed the design. The university seal, shown on the cover, was created by Judge Matthew P. Deady, first president of the UO Board of Regents, and was approved by that body in 1878. In its center is a representation of Mount Hood as a symbol of the state. Around its edge is the university's motto. Mens agitat mo/em-mind moves the mass. Welcome Welcome to the University of Oregon's Convocation 2008. The word "convocation" comes from the Latin convocare, which means "to call together." In the broader sense, we are called together here at the University of Oregon in the belief that education can make a difference in the lives of men and women and in the quality of our state, nation, and world. Long a meaningful tradition of academic communities, this convocation offers a chance to celebrate the beginning of the academic year. It offers an opportunity for members of the faculty, staff, and student body to focus on the rich academic heritage we share as a community of learners. I encourage each of you to take a few moments to think about your own intellectual pursuits and how they contribute to our society. This work-as teachers, researchers, and scholars-is what we as a university community celebrate today. Dave Frohnmayer President of the University of Oregon University Mace In medieval times the mace was usually carried into battle by kings, bishops, and other leaders for use as a weapon. Later on it came to be used more for ceremonial occasions. Today it is a symbol of authority. Designed and created by C. Max Nixon, Department of Arl, the university mace combines copper, bronze, and silver in the four­ sided spherical head atop an oiled walnut shaft. The sphere is made up of four university seals joined at a common axis. The outer rims of the seals are copper. The university's name and motto, in Latin, are in bronze. The mountain at the center of the sphere is in silver, and the forests and hills are in bronze. Surmounting the linked seals is a replica of Deady Hall , the university's first building, cast in bronze. At the top of the oiled walnut shaft and within th sphere created by the s als is ·the university's founding date. Al the base of the shaft is a finial ornament in bronze, finished with a stylized pine-cone pattern. Embedded in its tip is the seal of the state of Oregon, also in bronze. Academic Costume The history of academic dress goes back several centuries to the chilly universities where such apparel was needed for covering and warmth. Subsequently, this has become a ceremonial costume with certain standardized features. The hood is lined with the official colors of the degree-conferring institution; for the University of Oregon, yellow and green. The color of the trimming of the hood and tassel signify the subject in which the degree is conferred: maize: agriculture blue-violet: architecture white: arts, letters, humanities drab: commerce, accounting, business lilac: dentistry copper: economics light blue: education orange: engineering brown: fine arts russet: forestry crimson: journalism purple: law lemon: library science green: medicine pink: music apricot: nursing silver gray: oratory, speech olive green: pharmacy dark blue: philosophy sage green: physical education peacock blue: public administration salmon pink: public health golden yellow: science citron: social work scarlet: theology gray: veterinary science Platform Party Dave Frohnmayer President, University of Oregon Steven Pinker Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology, Harvard University James Bean Senior Vice President and Provost Frances Dyke Vice President, Finance and Administration ; Chief Financial Officer Richard Linton Vice President, Research and Graduate Studies; Dean, Graduate School Robin Holmes Vice President, Student Affairs Peter Gilkey President, University Senate Sam Dotters-Katz President, Associated Students of the University of Oregon Order of Exercises MARSHAL Scott Coltrane Dean, College of Arts and Sciences The academic procession is led by the university marshal, who carries the university mace.

Colby Assistant Professor, Religious Studies. Ph.D., Duke University, 2002. Frederick Colby's research focuses on a story that Muslims tell about how the Prophet Muhammad was taken on a miraculous journey from Mecca to Jerusalem, to the heavens and back, all in the course of a single night. He studies how versions of this story developed and expanded over the first few centuries of Islamic history. He has shown that what had been considered a marginal strand of Muslim storytelling is actually key to understanding how pious stories of Muhammad's journey are recounted by many Muslims. By bringing to light unknown and/or understudied texts (many still unpublished). Colby forces reconsideration of Islamic ascension narratives and the very sources of Muslim sacred biographies.

Her research seeks to understand this transformation, specifically with regard to the creation of millions of low-wage, insecure, and dead-end jobs for female workers that did not exist in the Communist era. Her research examines how the rise of markets is linked to the creation of a feminized labor force. Aliya Rachel Saperstein Acting Assistant Professor, Sociology. Ph.D., University of California at Berkeley, 2008. Aliya Saperstein's research focuses on race, ethnicity and inequality­ particularly income and health disparities in the United States.

M.F.A., Iowa State University. 2002. The primary goal of Kyu-Ho Ahn's research is to develop a design assessment-application model describing human behavior within a built-in environment and its relationships to environmental taxonomy controllable by designers. The model conceptualizes how people perceive a built-in environment emotionally and how emotion contributes to behavioral reactions. This model suggests assessment methods for designing a store environment while giving designers maximum creativity. Lighting in commercial environments, human­ computer interaction, and design for special populations are related research areas. Phaedra Livingstone Assistant Professor, Arts and Administration.
