During his time in Congress (1993–2011), he worked to bring the common-sense approach of Delaware's bipartisan legislating to Washington, D.C. He built bridges and formed coalitions to find pragmatic, bipartisan solutions to some of the most pressing problems facing the country and believed strongly in returning the Congressional agenda to issues that really matter to the American people. Mike Castle played a key role in enacting many important laws that improve the lives of all Americans, including welfare reform, the balanced budget act, the Crime Bill, No Child Left Behind, vocational education, campaign finance reform, medical research and intelligence reform. Castle consistently used his leadership as a negotiator to improve legislation before it went to the House floor, including ensuring important social programs like health and education did not suffer unnecessary funding cuts. Castle served as the chair and then ranking Member on the Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary and Secondary Education which has jurisdiction over pre-school through high school education, including vo-tech education. He also served on the Higher Education Subcommittee. Some of Castle’s priorities included obesity prevention and child nutrition, Head Start and the recruitment of highly qualified teachers. the hon. michael n. castle Mike Castle also served on the House Committee on Financial Services, which has jurisdiction over banking and the securities and insurance industries. He chaired the Subcommittee on Domestic and International Monetary Policy and served on the Capital Markets and Financial Institutions Subcommittee. In this capacity, Castle authored legislation to protect sensitive data to shield consumers from identity theft, worked to ensure the viability of low income housing programs, examined the impact of Sarbanes-Oxley on corporations and studied ways to help more consumers have access to the credit they need. He also sponsored legislation that would require a study on the hedge fund industry and make recommendations regarding hedge fund disclosure requirements. As a senior member on this committee, he collaborated on Congressional proposals to halt the foreclosure and mortgage crisis and strengthen American economic visibility. Recently, Castle’s bill to create a Presidential Dollar Coin program, based on his successful 50 State Quarter program, debuted with images of the Nation’s Presidents. A follow-up program to the 50 State Quarter program, depicting our National Parks in each state (with a Wildlife Refuge in Delaware, the only State without a National Park), also debuted. Mike Castle was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware where he currently lives with his wife Jane. He is a graduate of Tower Hill School, Hamilton College and Georgetown University Law School. He is a member of the Delaware Bar and is presently employed as a partner with the law firm of DLA Piper. Alma Mater Hail to thee proud Delaware, In loyalty we stand. We give thee thanks for glorious days Beneath thy guiding hand. Full often will we praise thy name, Thy colors proudly bear; We lift our voices now to sing All hail to Delaware.

Warner and Alexander J. Taylor Sr. Award Recipients University of Delaware Honorary Degree carol a. ammon doctor of science Admired and respected entrepreneur, a graduate of Central Connecticut State University, you began your career as a lab technician in DuPont’s pharmaceutical division but soon found yourself pursuing a management track, gaining experience in a variety of areas of the company and eventually rising through the ranks to President of the U.S. Pharmaceuticals Division of DuPont Merck. Along the way you earned an MBA at Adelphi University and completed the Advanced Management Program at Harvard University. In 1997 you led a management buyout team and purchased 37 pharmaceutical products from DuPont Merck to form Endo Pharmaceuticals. Inc. The company you formed is engaged in the research, development, sale, and marketing of branded and generic pharmaceuticals used to treat and manage pain. You recognized from the outset that the underserved pain management market was both a way to succeed in a competitive industry and a way to make a real difference in people’s enjoyment of life. In 2003, just five years after it was launched, Endo Pharmaceuticals was named Company of the Year by the Eastern Technology Council. You, too, have been honored numerous times. In 2003 you received the Greater Philadelphia Entrepreneur of the Year Award in the Health Sciences. The following year, you were named CEO of the Year by the Eastern Technology Council. And in 2005 you received the Paradigm Award, the Philadelphia region’s most prestigious award for businesswomen. Creative and independent CEO, as you had at DuPont, you brought your own breed of management style to Endo Pharmaceuticals. In interviews for the Philadelphia Inquirer, employees and colleagues have described you as “accessible,” “considerate,” “persistent, “effervescent,” “demanding but sensitive” and “proof that the nice girls do get the corner office.” You never failed to credit your employees’ part in making the company a success. When you stated your five principles for leadership, as you often did, three of those principles related to employees: hire the best people, listen to what they say, and reward them for good work. The other two principles relate directly to your own leadership style: to have a clear vision about where you are going and to be passionate about whatever you are doing. Great leadership, you have said, “is not just a business principle; it is a life principle.” And, indeed, you have demonstrated that you live your life by these principles. Generous and quiet philanthropist, you stepped down from your position as CEO at Endo Pharmaceuticals in 2005, and two years later you retired from your role as Chairman of the Board. It was time, you said, to focus on your philanthropic activities. Before and after you retired, you have served on the boards of museums, academic institutions, and health care organizations. Locally, these include the Hagley Museum, the Delaware Art Museum, Winterthur Museum and Christiana Care Health System, where you are currently Board Chair. You established the Carol A. Ammon Foundation, which has given generously to institutions and projects related to health, education, and helping children with physical or mental disabilities. The management consultant Peter Drucker has famously said, “Wherever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.” Fourteen years ago, you made the courageous decision to leave your long-time employer and start your own company. Having achieved success in business, you undertook a new goal—to use your talent and riches to give back to your community. Therefore, under the authority of the Board of Trustees of the University of Delaware, I have the pleasure and honor of conferring upon you, Carol A. Ammon, the degree of Doctor of Science and do declare you entitled to all the rights, honors and privileges to that degree appertaining throughout the world. In testimony thereof, I am pleased to present to you this diploma. A. Gilchrist Sparks III May 28, 2011 The honorary degree is the highest honor the University of Delaware bestows and is presented to individuals whose contributions to the public good warrant exceptional recognition. v University of Delaware Honorary Degree michael n. castle doctor of laws Delaware native and committed public servant, you were born in Wilmington and graduated from Tower Hill School. You left the state to attend Hamilton College in New York and the Georgetown University School of Law in Washington, D.C., but immediately after earning your degrees you returned to your beloved roots. In 1965, just one year out of law school, you began your career in public service as deputy attorney general of Delaware. You were soon elected to the state House of Representatives and then the state Senate, following that up in the early 1980s with a term as lieutenant governor of Delaware. In 1985 you were elected to the first of two terms as the First State’s governor, an eight-year period in which the state enjoyed growth, prosperity and progress. You were elected to your second term as governor by an impressive 71 percent of the vote. You left the statehouse after reaching your term limit as governor but continued to serve the residents of Delaware as the state’s sole U.S. Representative for nine consecutive terms. Your success in Delaware politics is all the more impressive given that you are a Republican in a state where registered Democrats constitute a decided majority. Champion of education, from your earliest years in elected office until the end of your final term, you made it a priority to support the funding and improvement of education for Delawareans and later for all Americans. As Governor, you set in motion a long-term overhaul of public education in Delaware that was later recognized in the U.S. Department of Education’s Race to the Top competition as an exemplar for the nation. On the national stage, you helped write the historic No Child Left Behind Act to reform K–12 education through testing students, increasing flexibility, providing for professional development, and, most importantly and successfully, narrowing the gap between disadvantaged students and their better-off peers. You also authored legislation to improve education results for children with special needs. Your many accomplishments in the area of education have encompassed the full spectrum of learning, from early childhood through higher education. Wise and responsible economic leader, while Governor of Delaware, you worked to improve the business climate in the state and bring in more jobs for Delawareans. You lowered personal income taxes while balancing the budget. You brought that same drive for fiscal responsibility to Washington, where you led the effort to ensure that tax cuts would not come before the federal government balanced its budget. You also worked to establish new rules whereby increased spending or decreased taxes would be paid for by savings in other areas of the budget, thus seeking to lessen the national debt. In addition to education and finance, the many areas in which you have contributed to the betterment of our country include campaign finance reform, environmental protection, homeland security, safe communities, and better healthcare. Nationally respected centrist leader, you have earned accolades from Republicans and Democrats alike for your independence of thought and your reasoned approach to governing. Your colleagues, the press, your constituents in Delaware, and the entire country knew that your votes were never based on blind allegiance to your party. Instead when making decisions you brought to bear all of your knowledge and wisdom, heart and conscience. President John Quincy Adams once said of governing, “Above all, let us never forget, in the most fervent heat of our party conflicts, that there is a cause, embracing and transcending all others . . . the cause of our country.” Truly we can say, Representative Castle, that in all your years of governing, you always put the cause of our country and its people first. Therefore, under the authority of the Board of Trustees of the University of Delaware, I have the pleasure and honor of conferring upon you, Michael N. Castle, the degree of Doctor of Laws and do declare you entitled to all the rights, honors and privileges to that degree appertaining throughout the world. In testimony thereof, I am pleased to present to you this diploma. A. Gilchrist Sparks III May 28, 2011 vi University of Delaware Honorary Degree david c. driskell doctor of fine arts Acclaimed visual artist, after completing the art program at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine, you earned a B.A. from Howard University and an M.F.A. from the Catholic University of America. You furthered your study of art history at the Netherlands Institute for the History of Art in The Hague, and studied African and African American cultures independently in Europe, Africa, and South America. You began your career as an artist in the 1950s. You create primarily in paint and collage, but you also have worked with printing, drawing, sculpture, and stained glass. Your art has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and in the far reaches of the world. Your work is owned by individual art collectors and major American museums such as the Corcoran Museum of Art, the Smithsonian’s National Gallery of Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Thanks to the beneficence of the late Paul R. Jones, the UD University Museums also boasts your work in our collection. You draw your inspiration from nature and life, and from Western, African, and Black American traditions. You make art, you have said, to free yourself, to give a new dimension to your own life, and you hope, to other people’s lives as well. Most assuredly, you have succeeded in the latter endeavor. Esteemed educator, you taught studio art and art history for more than four decades, serving on the faculty at Talladega College, Howard University, Fisk University and the University of Maryland, College Park, where you retired as Distinguished University Professor Emeritus in 1998. Your visiting appointments have taken you from small colleges in the U.S. to a large university in Nigeria. You have lectured extensively throughout the world. When you retired from university teaching, the University of Maryland at College Park honored your life’s work by establishing The David C. Driskell Center for the Study of Visual Arts and Culture of African Americans and the African Diaspora. Groundbreaking scholar and curator, you are known the world over as one of the leading authorities on the subject of African American art and the black artist in American society. Your revolutionary 1976 exhibition, “Two Centuries of Black American Art: 1750–1950,” laid the foundation for the field of African American Art History. In 1990, the exhibition became the basis for a television film, further disseminating knowledge of African American art. The catalog that you penned, “Hidden Heritage,” became an invaluable text to art scholars. You have, in addition, written and co-written books and essays and published more than 40 catalogues for exhibitions you curated, adding immeasurably to the world’s understanding and appreciation of African American Art. Your innumerable honors and awards include the National Endowment for the Humanities Medal. In bestowing the medal upon you in 2000, President Clinton noted that you have “opened our eyes to the beauty, poignancy and power of African American art.” In 2006 the National Academy honored your outstanding reputation in the art community by electing you a National Academician. Writer, educator, and activist Joseph S. Cotter, Jr., once advised us, “Train your head and hands to do, your head and heart to dare.” David C. Driskell, throughout your esteemed and varied career, you have used your head, your hands, and your heart to bring knowledge and beauty to this world, and we are all richer for it. Therefore, under the authority of the Board of Trustees of the University of Delaware, I have the pleasure and honor of conferring upon you, David C. Driskell, the degree of Doctor of Fine Arts and do declare you entitled to all the rights, honors and privileges to that degree appertaining throughout the world. In testimony thereof, I am pleased to present to you this diploma. A. Gilchrist Sparks III May 28, 2011 vii University of Delaware Honorary Degree richard f. heck doctor of science Winner of the 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, you were honored with this most prestigious award “for palladium-catalyzed cross couplings in organic synthesis,” which the Nobel Committee recognized as “one of the most sophisticated tools available to chemists today.” You began experimenting with using palladium as a catalyst for joining carbon atoms while you were a researcher at Hercules in the 1960s, and you continued to refine and expand on your research while a professor at the University of Delaware. Your early breakthroughs set the stage for research in the 1970s by other chemists, including Ei-ichi Negishi and Akira Suzuki, with whom you shared the Nobel Prize. In the decades since, scientists worldwide have recognized the widespread applicability of the Heck reaction. Palladium-catalyzed cross coupling, the Nobel Committee noted, is now used widely in research, as well as in the commercial production of pharmaceuticals and molecules used in the electronics industry. Researcher with real-world impact, your findings in the laboratory have made possible pharmaceuticals such as antibiotics that work on drug-resistant bacteria; Taxol, a potential anti-cancer drug; steroids; the antiinflammatory Naproxen; and the asthma drug Singular. Your work allowed the automation of DNA mapping, which made possible the Human Genome Project. Your research has made affordable the large-scale industrial production of computer chips and has helped lead to thinner computer screens. It has impacted the all-important development of new energy technologies ranging from organic LEDs to sugarbased fuel cells. The Heck reaction itself provides economic and environmental benefits such as reduced use of materials and waste. Esteemed University of Delaware Professor, you earned both your bachelor of science degree and your doctorate at the University of California Los Angeles. After postdoctoral work, you joined Hercules in Wilmington, Delaware. In 1971 you began your career in the chemistry department at the University of Delaware. You taught here for nearly two decades, retiring in 1989 as the Willis F. Harrington Professor Emeritus. To honor you, in 2004 the University established the Heck Lectureship, an annual award given in recognition of significant achievement in the field of organometallic chemistry. And just this week the University hosted a scholarly symposium in your honor. The Delaware section of the American Chemical Society has bestowed upon you the Wallace H. Carothers Award for creative applications of chemistry that have had substantial commercial impact. You received as well the Herbert C. Brown Award for Creative Research in Synthetic Methods from the American Chemical Society. Dr. Robert Jarvik, the inventor of the first permanent total artificial heart, has said, “The most powerful forces that change the way we live are the applied sparks of insight that we call invention.” Without question, Professor Heck, your research and inventiveness have dramatically changed for the better the way we all live. Therefore, under the authority of the Board of Trustees of the University of Delaware, I have the pleasure and honor of conferring upon you, Richard F. Heck, the degree of Doctor of Science and do declare you entitled to all the rights, honors and privileges to that degree appertaining throughout the world. In testimony thereof, I am pleased to present to you this diploma. A.

By 1765 the school had been moved to Newark where, in 1769, it received a charter as the Academy of Newark from Thomas and Richard Penn. On February 5, 1833, the General Assembly of the State of Delaware passed an act establishing a perpetual charter for a college at Newark. New Ark College opened as a degree-granting institution in 1834 and the Academy was merged with it. The institution was renamed Delaware College in 1843, and in 1921 an act of the Delaware General Assembly created the University of Delaware with two colleges—Delaware College and the Women’s College. The first Commencement was held on September 23, 1836, for five young men. Graduating classes remained small for several years and on occasion numbered only one or two students. No commencements were held in 1837 and 1850 because there were no students prepared to graduate. On four occasions, 1847, ’51, ’53, and ’71, only master’s degrees were awarded. The College was closed in 1859 for financial reasons and the impending Civil War. The Board of Trustees continued to meet and by means of the Morrill Land-Grant Act the College reopened in 1870, graduating its first new class in 1873. In the years before 1873 there were sixteen years in which no degrees were awarded. Since that time, however, annual commencements have continued uninterrupted. academic costume The use of the academic costume, which seems to have originated in the English universities of Oxford and Cambridge, has been traditional in university life since the medieval times. In England and other European countries academic attire generally is distinctive with each university so that very colorful ensembles of diverse styles are commonly used abroad. Unlike European academic apparel, the academic costume of American universities follows a regular pattern, the styles and colors having been established by an intercollegiate agreement in 1895. Cap, hood, and gown are prescribed in style. Color variations indicate differences in the field of knowledge presented and the conferring institutions. The mortarboard cap is identical for holders of associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees. For holders of the doctorate, the cap may be made of velvet and the tassel may be gold. Candidates for the associate and bachelor’s degrees wear the tassel on the right of the cap, changing it to the left side after the degree has been conferred. The associate and bachelor’s gowns are designed with full sleeves. The master’s gown, designed with sleeves closed at the base and slit at the elbow, appears to have half-sleeves that leave the forearm uncovered. The doctor’s gown has bell-shaped sleeves with velvet bars and is faced with velvet around the collar and down the front edges. Hoods representing the four levels of degrees differ primarily in size. The colors of the hood lining are characteristic of the conferring college. For example, University of Delaware colors are blue and gold; University of Pennsylvania, red and blue; Columbia University, blue and white; etc. The color of the velvet border for the hood indicates the branch of knowledge represented. the mace and chain of office The mace—the ornamental staff carried at the lead of the Commencement procession—was historically a weapon of war. Traditionally used by horsemen and warriors to unseat battle opponents and smash heavy armor during tournaments, it was typically made entirely of metal and was crafted to include a grooved head with lethally sharp spikes. After abandoning its barbaric roots for more genteel pursuits in the Middle Ages, the mace became associated with high-level state occasions and eventually gained prominence as a modern-day symbol of power, authority and dignity, according to a booklet published by the University Archives. The University acquired its mace in 1971 during a resurgence of interest in this tradition on the part of American universities. In keeping with its current symbolism, the University’s mace, which has the elaborate features of an early 14th-century model, is carried before the President and members of the platform party by the University Marshal in academic processions. The wearing of the chain in conjunction with the mace indicates that the President temporarily embodies “the power, authority, autonomy, immunity, and sovereignty” vested in the institution he represents. The mace of the University of Delaware is 42 inches long and weighs nine and one-half pounds. The head of the mace is 10 inches in diameter and displays eight diamond-shaped, enamel-and-gold-plated silver panels that alternate the Blue Hen and the American holly—Delaware’s state bird and state tree, respectively. The chain of office of the University of Delaware is 48 inches long and displays alternating panels of Blue Hens and holly clusters on a diamondshaped background. From the chain hangs a medallion bearing the seal of the University surrounded by holly leaves and berries. The recurring diamond theme used in the mace and chain salutes Delaware as “The Diamond State,” a designation that refers to Delaware’s worth in relation to its size. As handcrafted works of art, the mace and chain of office are part of the University’s Permanent Art Collection. xiii Directions from delaware stadium to all Convocations heading north on college ave.
