Established by the Office of the President in 2013, this is the highest honor the institution bestows upon an alumni in recognition of professional accomplishments and service to the College. The recipient for this year’s award is Elaine Melnick. Elaine is the kind of individual all instructors hope to have in their classes; and employers hope to hire. She’s intelligent, curious, driven, committed, is amiable, and has an exceptional work ethic. Elaine has taken the initiative to successfully navigate several levels of postsecondary education. She exemplifies the concept of pathways as a core value to LWTech. The principle of a pathways approach is to provide students with the ability to access and start at any level of education, leave the institution with workforce ready skills, return to enhance their skills, or to prepare for transfer to another college. 4 Dr. Amy Morrison Goings is Lake Washington Institute of Technology's ninth president. She joined LWTech in July of 2013. Prior to coming to LWTech, Dr. Morrison Goings served for nearly ten years in vice presidential roles including advancement as well as campus operations at Clover Park Technical College in Lakewood, Washington. Morrison Goings also served as adjunct faculty. She received her doctorate in Higher Education Administration at the University of Nebraska Lincoln in December 2013 as part of the National Community College Leadership Cohort. She received her Masters of Public Administration at The Evergreen State College and her undergraduate degree at Mills College. Dr. Morrison Goings serves on the Boards of One Redmond and Seattle Goodwill, and is a member of Redmond Rotary. Jim began as a student at LWTech in 1994, bringing seven years’ experience in the US Navy as a Data Systems Technician and a BA from Chapman University earned during that time. From 1980 to 1993 he worked in the computer mainframe industry for Burroughs and Unisys Corporations. He was hired that same year (1994) to teach Electronics, Data Communications and Operating Systems in the Computer Field Service program for an evening workforce cohort, and aided in the transition to the college credit curriculum that became Computer Security and Network Technology. He is a Tenured Faculty, holds A+ and Security+ certifications, and has added Linux and PowerShell scripting to the CSNT offerings. Jim is currently the Faculty Federation president, and serves as LWTech’s representative to the state Faculty Association of Community and Technical Colleges (FACTC). Robert spent the first part of his life growing up in Fairbanks Alaska where he enjoyed snowboarding and spending summers fishing in the mountains of the Brooks Range. He then moved as a teenager to Kirkland Washington and graduated from B.E.S.T. Alternative High School where his love of art grew strong. After struggling with many challenges during his early 20's he found himself working in the Seattle art community, hanging art in galleries and museums and working selling the supplies to glassblowers. During his mid 30's he decided to make a life change and he found himself choosing Lake Washington Institute of Technology as a college to complete a degree. Today Robert is receiving an Associates of Arts in Funeral Services Education, the only program of its kind in Washington State. 5 Congresswoman Suzan DelBene represents Washington’s 1st Congressional District, which spans from northeast King County to the Canadian border, and includes parts of King, Snohomish, Skagit, and Whatcom counties. First sworn into the House of Representatives on November 13, 2012, DelBene brings a unique voice to the nation’s capital, with more than two decades of experience as a successful technology entrepreneur and business leader in the private sector. Growing up, Suzan saw her parents struggle to make ends meet. Determined to arm herself with a quality education, with the help of student loans and financial aid, Suzan worked her way through college and earned a bachelor's degree from Reed College in Portland, Oregon. She later received a Master's in Business Administration from the University of Washington. After college and graduate school, Suzan became a leader in technology and innovation. Suzan embarked on a 12-year career at Microsoft. Among just a handful of women serving at the executive leadership level at Microsoft, Suzan worked as a corporate vice president running worldwide sales, marketing, and product management for the company's mobile technology business. She served as CEO and president of the startup company Nimble Technology. Beyond her private sector experience, public service has always been central to Suzan's story. It is a key reason she decided to seek public office in the first place. She was an advisor to Global Partnerships, a microfinance nonprofit focused on providing needed loans to help create economic opportunities for people living in poverty. She has worked with the YWCA to build programs to provide transitional housing and job training to women and families struggling to get back on their feet. In 2010, Suzan was appointed by Governor Gregoire to be the Director of the Washington State Department of Revenue. During her tenure, Suzan proposed reforms to cut red tape for small businesses. She also enacted an innovative tax amnesty program that generated $345 million to help close the state’s budget gap, while easing the burden on small businesses. Through her role on the House Judiciary Committee, DelBene has been at the forefront of issues relating to technology and privacy, and has become a leading voice in the House calling for greater transparency and oversight of the NSA to restore American’s privacy rights. She is also focused on advancing common-sense immigration reform. DelBene was appointed to serve on President Obama’s Export Council, the President’s advisory committee on international trade. She also serves as co-chair of the New Democrat Coalition’s 21st Century Job Skills Working Group, and co-chair of the Women's High Tech Caucus, Internet of Things Caucus, Trademark Caucus, and Aluminum Caucus. DelBene was named a Champion of Main Street Businesses by the Washington Retail Foundation, and received the 2014 Distinguished Community Health Advocate Award from the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) for her work to expand access to care for our nation’s most vulnerable communities. She was also awarded the President’s Award from the NAACP for her work on behalf of veterans and their families. Her works focuses on ensuring that our nation and this region lead in creating high-wage 21st century jobs—great educational opportunities for our children and ongoing training for adults; a financial system that is fair, strong, and transparent; incentives that foster research, innovation, and entrepreneurship; and a health care system that works for everyone. 6 Dear Graduates, Congratulations!

Gold and silver together indicate summa cum laude (highest honors). Gold cords indicate magna cum laude (high honors). Silver cords indicate cum laude (honors). Gold stoles are worn by Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society members. White cords are worn by Associated Student Government officers. Red cords are worn by TRiO Project graduates. Light Blue cords are worn by graduates of the LWTech High School Academy. Triple blue cords are worn by graduates of Human Resources Management students. *** Summa Cum Laude (4.0 GPA) ** Magna Cum Laude (3.7—3.99 GPA) * Cum Laude (3.5—3.69 GPA) † Phi Theta Kappa members + Associated Student Government The origins of academic dress date back to the 12th and 13th centuries, when universities first took form. The ordinary dress of the scholar, whether student or teacher, was the dress of a cleric. With few exceptions, medieval scholars took at least minor orders, made certain vows, and were occasionally tonsured. Long gowns were worn and may have been necessary for warmth in unheated buildings. Hoods seem to have served as cover for the tonsured head until superseded for that purpose by the skull cap. The assignment of colors to signify certain faculties was a much later development, and one which was standardized only in the United States in the late 19th century. White, taken from the white fur trimming of the Oxford and Cambridge B.A. hoods, was assigned to arts and letters. Red, one of the traditional colors of the church, went to theology. Green, the color of medieval herbs, was adopted for medicine, and olive, because it was so close to green, was given to pharmacy. Golden yellow, standing for the wealth which scientific research has produced, was assigned to the sciences. The caps and gowns worn today are the official and traditional regalia designed for graduation. A student wears a long, full-flowing robe and a tight-fitting skull cap attached to a stiff piece called a mortarboard, with a tassel dangling from a button placed in the center of the mortarboard. Some of the participants may wear a cape or hood lined with colored silk and trimmed with velvet. Most collegiate caps, gowns and hoods are black. The cut of the robe and its sleeves, as well as its trimming, indicate various academic degrees. In 1884, the Intercollegiate Commission set the standards of academic regalia in the United States. 8 Awarded upon the completion of a minimum of 90 credits of upper division coursework, this degree is designed to prepare graduates to lead and collaborate with teams of creative and technical professionals. Students enter with an Associate Degree in a design-related field and must complete all coursework with a minimum of a 2.0 grade point average. Awarded on completion of a minimum of ninety and a maximum of one hundred and twenty credits of lower division courses, this degree must contain a minimum of twenty credits of academic core courses. Thirty percent of credits must be completed at Lake Washington Institute of Technology and the student must receive a minimum passing grade of 2.0 or higher in each course, with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0. An Associate of Science MRP/DTA is awarded to students studying specific pathways leading to transfer to specific majors at the baccalaureate level. These degrees are awarded upon completion of a minimum of ninety credits. Thirty percent of credits must be completed at LWTech and the student must receive a minimum passing grade of 2.0 or higher in each course, with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0. A Certificate of Proficiency is awarded to students meeting technical program requirements of forty- five to eighty-nine credits in length. At least 15 credits of academic core courses are required. Thirty percent of credits must be completed at LWTech and the student must receive a minimum passing grade of 2.0 or higher in each course, with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0. A Certificate of Completion is awarded to students who satisfactorily complete the competencies and requirements for programs of less than one academic year; less than forty-five credit hours in length. All public high school students are required to meet statewide graduation requirements in order to earn a diploma. Requirements to earn a high school diploma include: earn high school credit, pass state tests or approved alternatives to those tests, complete a Culminating Project, and Complete a High School and Beyond Plan. General Education Development is a series of four tests developed by the American Council on Education to enable persons to obtain the equivalency of a high school diploma. Earning a GED® provides greater access to employment, advancement, and higher education opportunities. 9 Kristina Marie Adbo CC Human Resources Natalie J.
