Cosnv You return to your native Pennsylvania today known the world over as a genius entertainer, but also as a glfted educaror, a visionary philanthropist and a committed social justice and civil rights activist. ln a career that has spanned five different decades, few entertainers have performed so brilliantly and had such a profound impact on their own national culture. Born and raised in Philadelphia, we leamed much about the challenges and hijinks of your youth through the chronicles you shared of life with Fat Albert, Old Weird Harold, Dumb Donald, Weasel and the rest of the Cosby Kids. Completing your high school education through a correspondence course while in the United States Nalry', you became a distance learner long before it became the popular and preferred vehicle for lifelong leaming that it is today Following your discharge from the service, you retumed to Philadelphia and enrolled at Temple University where you completed your undergraduate degree, and where work and school provided forums for you to reveal your gift of bringing laughter to people's lives. Begrnning your entertainment career as a stand-up comedian you soon made your way to media where you have enjoyed unparalieled the recording studio and then on to television success. Your portrayal of Alexander Scott on "I Spy," in the mid 1960's, was groundbreaking, as you were the first black actor to play the lead role in a television dramatic series. Your most successful series, "The Cosby Show," has been described as archetypal in is positive portrayal of African-American family life. You have broken attendance records at Radio Ciry Music Hall and are an influential force in the publishing world. Your 1986 book, Fatherhood, became the - fastest selling hardcover of all time. With more than 20 albums recorded, you have eamed eight Gold Records and four Grammy Awards. You have won numerous Emmy and People's Choice Awards and the prestigious Springam Medal from the NAACP You were awarded the Pennsylvania Society's Gold Medal, and honored by the Kennedy Center for your lifetime achievement. ln 1994 you were inducted into the Academy of Television Ars and Sciences Hall of Fame and were awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2002. Success as an entertainer afforded you the opportunity to pursue graduate study at the Uni.versity of Massachusetts-Amherst, where you eamed both masters and doctoral degrees. Your educational endeavors have always encouraged the healthy and emotional growth of children and their families. Your dedication to young people and your passion for lifelong learning command the respect and admiration of parents and professional educators alike. Your educational vision is equaled by the commitment you and your wife, Camille, have made to disadvantaged young people by assuring that finances and educational services not impede their opportunity for success. You are advocates of African-American an and curators of its excellence. Your perpetuating gifts to Education and the Arts assure that future generations are able to appreciate and learn from their cultural heritage. By sharing your time, talent and treasure you seek the goodness in all young people so their knowledge and talent, their hopes and dreams, may be transformed into deeds and action that strengthen community, that preserve and grow knowledge, and affirm the dignity of all individuals. Every culture needs its stoqrtellers, and you are one of ours. The values you extol transcend generations and serve to remind us of the common good in all of us. Through your spoken and written words, we have come to understand and appreciate the joy and tears that can accompany our daily successes and challenges. Yours is a positive message that enables persons and groups to look past barriers and achieve their fu1l potential. With admiration and great appreciation for the life you lead, we celebrate today your wisdom, your vision, and your compasslon. By the power vested in me by the Board of Tiustees of Wilkes University, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I hereby confer upon you, William H. Cosby, the doctorate of humane letters, Honoris Causa, with all the rights and privileges thereto appertaining. �ti AMARDS THE MABLE SCOTT WANDELL AND STERLING LEROY WANDELL AWARDS SaneH LucH BnaNor '04 Emc P Eurslsn'04 Nu<olrJ.

The established community of scholars the Faculty conyene to recognize fficially the newest group oJ proven scholars the Graduates and welcome them in fellowshrp. Graduates don the attire thatfor yearshas symbolized scholarly dttainment. - - - Dunng the Middle Ages those seehing an education traveled to European centers oJ learning. Centers of learning and uniyersities were closely allied with the clencs of the time , andthe scholars donned garb similar to thatwornby the clergy. This evolvedinto the academic uniform, alongblach gown,hood, and cap, which proved useful Jor studyingin unheated and'draJty buildings. Thehood seryed simultaneously as ahead coveing, a coins and alms and the t'orerunner oJ the modern day boohbag. The hood was adorned with the colors of the university and designated the young scholar\ school or repository Jor unitersity ffiliation. By their distinctive clothing the students were set apart and distinguishedfrom the citizens oJ the town;hence the ongin of the phrase "town and gown." Amencan colleges and uniyersities adopted the weanng of the traditional apparel in Colonial times, and a common code t'or academic apparel was established in the midnineteenth century. The hood is the most distinctive feature of academic regalia. The inside of the hood is lined with the official colors oJ the institution; today you see Wilhes graduates weaing hoods lined with the blue and gold colors oJ the tJniversig. The velvet tnm around the outside of the hood designates the degree or field oJ study of the graduates. The velvet colors wornby today\ graduates signtfu the following: GoldenYellow 'White Drab Pinh Brown Olive - Science Afts, Letters, Humanities Business Administration Music Fine Arts Pharmacy The style oJ the gown distinguishes graduatesby the degree they haw earned. Those earning the bachelor\ degree wear d simple blach gown with elongated pointed sleeves. Holders oJ the master's degree wear gowns with alonger, closed, squore cut slene. The doctoral gown is timmed with velyet stipes on the sleeves and panels of ttelvet on the front closure of the gown. Ameican uniyersities haye adopted doctoral gowns in their distinctiye colors. lJnitersig of Pennsylttania, the bnghtblue of the lJniversig oJ Michigan. Some You will notice the slate oJ Columbia, the red of Cornell, the burgundy of the To have earned the pnvilege oJ weanng academic costume regalia signifies not only the cornpletion oJ a program oJ studies, but entrance into the comradery of scholarshrp. )Z �The University Mace and Presidential Chain of Office The mace and the presidential chain of ffice used in academic celebrations represent traditions dating to the skteenth century. The mace symbolizes the authoity of the university and the chain of ffice designates the presidentialleadershtp oJ the academy. The Wilhes lJnitersity mace and presidential chain of olfice were glfts oJ local donors and were first used in 1970 at the inauguration oJ the second president of Wilhes. They were designed by Ottie Hill Chwaleh'61 and executed by lturt MatzdorJ, a nationdlly recognized gold and sihersmith t'rom the State Universi$ of New Yorh at New Paltz. TheUnfuersity Mace The sterling silyer mace has a gilthnob at its base and a gllt circle at the top beaing the insciption "Wilhes College 1933." The bowl, ising above the nech oJ the mace , signioJ people fies Wilhes-Barre\ role as a meltingpot, t'orming a new and vigorous community from many difJerent bachgrounds. This theme is reiterated in the insciption oJ the IJniversig\ motto "IJnity Amidst Diversity" which surrounds the upper part of the bowl. The gtlt flame symbolizes the enlightenment gained fromhigher education, while the piece of anthracite coal set in the center oJ the flame commemorates the ongin oJ the Universi$ in a communig hnown Jor its coal mining past. The Presidential Chain of Office The Presidential Chain oJ OfJice, created t'rom sterling silver, has alternatingbowls and gllt flames, repeating the motiJ of the mace. On the Jront of the Jour-Joot chainhangs a gilt seal oJWilheswhichis suspendedfrom a cluster of oahleaveswith acorns, sugesting the strength and sturdiness of Juture generations. On the bach oJ the Presidential Chain oJ Office is a silver portrait of Dr. Eugene S. Farley, the first President oJ Wilhes.

The established community oJ scholars the Faculty conyene to recognize fficially the nauest group of proven scholars the Graduates andwelcome them infellowshtp. Graduates don the attire that for years has symbolized scholarly attainment. - - Dunng the Middle - Ages those seehing an education trayeled to European centers of learning. Centers of learning and universities were closely allied with the clencs of the time, and the scholars donned garb similar to that worn by the clergy. This evolved into the academic uniJorm, alongblach gown, hood, and cap , which proved useful for studying in unheated and draJty bulldings. The hood seryed simultaneously as ahead coveing a repository for coins and alms and the Jorerunner of the modern day booh bag. The hood was,qdornedwith the colors oJ the university and designated the youngscholar\ school or university ffiliation. By their distinctive clothing the students were set dpart and distinguished Jrom the citizens oJ the town; hence the ongin oJ the phrase "town and gown." Amencan colleges and universities adopted the weanng of the traditional apparel in Colonial times, and a common code Jor academic apparel wds established in the midnineteenth century. The hood is the most distinctive feature of academic regalia. The inside oJ the hood islinedwith the fficial colors of the institution; today you seeWilkes gradudtes weanng hoods lined with the blue and gold colors of the lJnittersity. The yelyet tim around the outside of thehood designates the degree or f.eld oJ study of the graduates. The yelyet colors wornby today's graduates sryrb the t'ollowing: GoldenYellow Drab Pinh Brown Olive White Science Arts, Letters, Humanities Business Administration Music Fine Arts Pharmacy The style of the gown distinguishes graduatesby the degree they have earned. Those earning the bachelor's degree wedr a simple blach gown with elongated pointed sleeyes. Holders oJ the master's degree wedr gowns vtith alonger, closed, square cut sleeve. The doctoral gown is timmed with velyet strtpes on the sleeyes and panels of velvet on the front closure of the gown. Some Amencan universities have adopted doctoral gowns in their distinctiye colors. You will notice the slate oJ Columbia, the red of Cornell, the burgundy of the LJniversity oJ Pennsylvania, thebrightblue oJ the lJnittersity of Michigan. To have earned the pnvilege oJ weanng academic costume regalia signifies not only the completion oJ a program of studies, but entrance into the comradery of scholarshtp. 28 �The LJniversity Mace and Presidential Chain of Office The mace and the presidentiol chcun oJ ffice used in academic celebrations represent traditions dating to the skteenth century.

InterJ aith ......Handel/Leidzen �HONORARY DEGREE DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERS............ ....... Meru-Er MettN Born and raised in Morton Grove, Illinois, it was clear from an early age that you are a special person, with special gifts, who would lead an extraordinary 1ife. The decisions your parents made for you early in your childhood set the stage for your success as an actress, a role model and advocate, and your most cherished role that of mom to Sarah, Brandon, Tyler and Isabelle. You encourage us to count our blessings, to celebrate what makes each of us unique and to see possibility in the most difficult of circumstances. In the midst of the most challenging situations, you have learned to find the serendipitous. Your professional career is already one of merit and distinction. At age 2L, you became the youngest recipient of the Best Actress Oscar for your role in "Children of a Lesser God." As one of only four actresses to receive that honor for a film debut, you were also awarded a Golden Globe by the Hollywood Foreign Press for Best Actress in a Drama. With four Emmy Award Nominations for your work on Seinfeld, Pichet Fences, The Practice and Law and Order:S\rU, you have been honored with two other Golden Globe nominations, a nomination for a CableACE Award, and a nomination for a People's Choice Award. Known for your devotion of time and energy to numerous organizations, your influence and contributions extend well beyond your artistic accomplishments. In 1994, President Clinton appointed you to the Board of Directors for the Corporation for National Service, and in 1995 you were honored in a White House Rose Garden ceremony for your work as Chairperson for National Volunteer Week. As a national celebrity spokesperson for the American Red Cross, you also serve on the national boards for Easter Seals and the Children Affected by Aids Foundation. Your considerable talents, first-hand experiences and unwavering commitment to bettering the quality of life have made you not only a champion for the hearing-impaired community but also a model world ci[izen for us all. Your testimony before Congress was instrumental in getting federal legislation passed requiring all televisions manufactured in the United States be equipped with close-captioning technologr. While your artistic endeavors alone might be reason enough for the recognition we bestow today, we take this special opportunity to salute your eloquent advocacy that creates genuine opportunities for those who are differently-abled. You provide inspiration and hope so that they are able to live their lives with dignity, optimism and the promise that they might achieve their fullest potential. By the power vested in me by the Board of Tiustees of Wilkes University, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I hereby confer upon you, Marlee Matlin, the doctorate of humane letters, Honoris Causa, with all the rights and privileges appertaining thereto. �A}VARDS THE MABLE SCOTT WANDELL AND STERLING LEROY WANDELL AWARDS ,07 E.

The established convene to recognize fficially the newest group communig oJ scholars the Faculty andwelcome theminJellowship. Graduates don of proven scholars the Graduates the attire that for yearshas symbolized scholarly attainment. Dunng the Middle Ages those seehing an education traveled to European centers of learning. Centers of learning and uniyersities were closely allied with the clencs of the time, and the scholars donned garb similar to that worn by the clergt. This evolved into the academic uniform, alongblach gown, hood, and cap, which prov ed useiul for studying in unheated and drafty buildings. The hood served simultaneously as ahead cotenng, a coins and alms and the t'orerunner oJ the modern day booh bag. The hood was adornedwith the colors oJ the university and designated the youngscholar\ school or repository Jor universig ffiliation. By their distinctive clothing the students were set apart and disnnguishedfrom the citizens of the town;hence the ongln of the phrase "town and gown." Amencan colleges and uniyersities adopted the weanng of the traditional apparel in Colonial times, and a common code t'or academic apparel was established in the midnineteenth century. The hood is the most distinctive feature of academic regalia. The inside of the hood is lined with the official colors oJ the institution; today you see Wilhes graduates weanng hoods lined with the blue and gold colors of the lJnittersig. The velvet tim around the outside oJ the hood designates the degree or field of study of the graduates. The velvet colors wornby today\ graduates signtJy the Jollowing: GoldenYellow Drab Pinh Brown Olive White Science Arts, Letters, Humanities Business Administration Music Fine Arts Pharmacy The style of the gown distinguishes graduatesby the degree they have earned. Those earning the bachelor's degree wear a simple blach gown with elongated pointed sleeves. Holders of the master\ degree wear gowns with a longer, closed, square cut sleeve. The doctoral gown is tnmmed with velvet stnpes on the sleeves and panels of telvet on the front closure of the gown. Some Amencan uniyersities haye adopted doctoral gowns in thar distinctive colors. You will notice the slate of Columbia, the red oJ Cornell, the burgundy of the Untuersity oJ Pennsylvania, thebnghtblue oJ the Unittersity oJ Michigan. To have earned the pittilege of weaing academic costume regalia signifies not only the completion oJ a program oJ studies,but entrance into the comradery oJ scholarship. )L �The l-Jniversity Mace and Presidential Chain of Office The mace and the presidentral chain of office used in academic celebrations represent traditions dating to the sixteenth century. The mace symbolizes the authoity of the unittersity and the chain of office designates the presidential leadershtp oJ the academy. The WilhesUniversity mace andpresidential chain of ffice were giJts of local donors and were first used in 1970 at the inauguration oJ the second president of Wilhes. They were designed by Ouie Hill Chwaleh '61 and executed by l{urt Matzdorf , a nationally recognized gold and silversmith Jrom the State unittersity of New Yorh at New Paltz. TheUniyersity Mace The sterling silver mace has a gilt hnob at its base and a glt circle at the top bearing the inscnption "Wilhes College 1933." The bowl, nsing above the nech of the macd, signif.es Wilhes-Barre\ role as a melting pot, Jorming a new and vigorous community oJ people from many differentbachgrounds. This theme is reiterated in the inscnption of the Unittersity\ motto "Unity Amidst Diversig" which surrounds the Wper part oJ the bowl. The giltJlame symbolizes the enlightenment gainedfromhigher education, while the piece of anthracite coal set in the center oJ the flame commemorates the ongln of the Unitersity in a communig hnownJor its coal miningpast. ThePresiilential Chain of Office The Presidential Chain oJ Office, created from sterling silver, has alternatingbowls and glltJlames, repeatingthe motiJ oJ the mace. On the front oJ the four-foot chainhangs a gllt seal of Wilhes which is suspended from a cluster of oah leaves with acorns, suggesting the strength and sturdiness of future generations. On the bach of the Presidential Chain oJ Office is a silyer portrait of Dr. Eugene S. Farley, the first President of Wilhes.

This evolved into the academic unit'orm, alongblach gown, hood, and cap, which proved useful t'or studying in unheated and draJty buildings. Thehood served simultaneousU ot ohead cotteing, a coins and alms and the Jorerunner oJ the modern day booh bag. The hood was adorned with the colors oJ the university and designated the young scholar's school or repository for university ffiliation. By their distinctive clothing the students were set apdrt dnd distinguishedfrom the citizens of the town;hence the ongln of the phrase "town and gown. Ameican colleges and universities adopted the weanng in Colonial times, and a common code oJ the traditional apparel Jor academic apparel was established in the mid- nineteenth century. The hood is the most distinctive feature of academic regalia. The inside oJ the hood is lined with the offcial colors oJ the institution; today you see Wilhes gradudtes weanng hoods lined with the blue and gold colors oJ the Universig. The velvet tnm around the outsideof thehooddesignatesthe degree orfieldoJstudy of thegraduates.Thevelvetcolors wornby today's graduates sryib the Jollowing: GoldenYellow Letters, Humanities White -Science Drob -Arts, Business Administration - Music Pinh - Fine Arts Brown - Pharmacy Olive - The style of the gown distinguishes graduatesby the degree thq have earned. Those earning the bachelor's degree wear a simple blach gown with elongated pointed sleeves. Holders oJ the master's degree wear gowns with alonger, closed, squore cut sleeve. The doctoral gown is timmed with velvet stipes on the sleeves and panels of velvet on the front closure oJ the gown. Some Amencan uniyersities have adopted doctoral gowns in their distinctive colors. You will notice the slate of Columbia, the red of Cornell, the burgundy of the Universig of Pennsylttania, thebnghtblue of the University of Michigan. To have earned the pivilege of weanng academic costume regalia signifies not only the cornpletion of a program of studies, but entrance into the comradery oJ scholarshrp.

JoHN Bnooxs SleucurEn A renowned engineer, educator, scholar and citizen, you have been an ambassador o[ science and technology, dedicating much of your life in distinguished service to helping others find and live up to their full potential. Your tireless and selfless advocacy has served to highlight the goodness in all young people so that their knowledge and talent, when inspired by their hopes and dreams, can be transformed into deeds and action that strengthen community, preserve and grow knowledge and affirm the dignity of all individuals. With a vision to see what is possible and how to achieve it, you have created institutions that are more inclusive, provide a greater range of opportunities and are better equipped for our future. You are a renaissance thinker whose vision, patience and perseverance have enabled you to cut to the heart of complex problems to find elegant and workable solutions in the most challenging of circumstances. Born in Topeka, Kansas, you earned the Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from Kansas State University in 1956 and went on to work as an electrical engineer for General Dyramics, the U.S. Naly Electronics Laboratory and the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington. Your reputation as a researcher took you to the National Science Foundation, as assistant director for oceanographic and atmospheric sciences in 1977. Appointed as Provost at Washington State University in 1979,yor subsequently returned to the National Science Foundation, appointed by President Carter, to be the Foundation's director - the preminent science post in our nation.

Following your service as the Irving R. Melbo Professor of Leadership in Education at.the University of Southern California, you became President of the National Action Council for Minorities in Education (NACME) in 2000. In your current role as President and CEO of NACME, you are raising millions of dollars and creating awareness and opportunities that will send more Black, Hispanic and Native American students to engineering school. Holding honorary degrees from 28 institutions, you were the winner of the Martin Luther King, Jr., National Award in 1997 and UCllb Medal of Excellence in 1989.

The established community oJ scholors the Faculty convene to recognize fficially the newest group oJ proven scholars andwelcome theminfellowship. Graduates don the Graduates the attire thatJor yearshas symbolized scholarly attainment. - - - Duing the Middle Ages those seehing an education traveled to European centers oJ learning. Centers of learning and universities were closely allied with the cleics of the time, and the scholars donned garb similar to that worn by the clerg. This evolved into f o r study ing simultaneously as ohead cownng, a repository Jor coins and alms and the t'orerunner of the modern day boohbag. The hood was adorned with the colors of the university and designated the young scholar\ school or university affilianon. By thar dtstinctive clothingthe studurts were set apart and disnnguished from the citizens of the town;hence the ongln of the phrase "town and gown." th e ac ademic unif o rm, a lo ng bl ach gow n, ho o d, and c ap, which p r ov e d us eful in unheated and draJty buildings. Thehood ser"',ed Amencan colleges and uniyersities odopted the weaing of the traditional apparel code for academic apparel was establishedin the mid- in Colonial times, and a common nineteenth century. The hood is the most distinctfue Jeature of academic regalia. The inside of the hood islinedwith the fficial colors oJ the institution; today you seeWilhes grddudtes weanng hoods lined with the blue and gold colors of the Universig. The velvet tim around the outside of thehood designates the degree or field oJ study oJ the graduates. The velvet colors wornby today's graduates sWtfy the GoldenYellow following: Drab Pinh Brown Olive 'V/hite Science Arts, Letters, Humanities Business Administration Music Fine Arts Pharmacy The sgle of the gown distinguishes graduatesby the degree they have eorned. Those eorning the bachelor's degree wear d sirnple bloch gown with elongated pointed sleeves. Holders oJ the master\ degree wear gowns with alonger, closed, square cut sleeve. The doctoral gown is timmed with velvet stipes on the sleeves and panels of velvet on the front closure oJ the gown. Some Amencan uniyersities haye odopted doctoral gowns in their drstinctive colors. You will notice the slate oJ Columbia, the red of Cornell, the burgundy oJ the University of Pennsybania, thebnghtblue of the University of Michigan. To haye earned the pnvilege oJ weanng academic costume regalia signifies not only the cornpletion of a program of studies, but entrance into the comradery of scholarship. 33 �The LJniversity Mace and Presidential Chain of Office The mace and the presidutnal chain oJ ffice used in academic celebrafians represant traditions dating to the srxteenth century.

ReNoell As a two-term district attorney for Philadelphia County, a two-term mayor of the City of Philadelphia and as a two-term Governor o[ Pennsylvania, you have served with great distinction and produced extraordinary results. As the 45'h Governor you invested strategrcally in the Commonwealth's economy, revital2ed communities, greatly improved education, protected the environment, expanded health care for all children and pror,rded affordable prescription drugs to older adults. As the 12I" Mayor of Philadelphia, you achieved one of the most remarkable turnarounds in recent American urban history restoring credibility and fiscal responsibility by eliminating a $250 million deficit, creating innovative public/private partnerships, balancing the City's budget and creating five consecutive budget surpluses. Every region needs its champion and you have been ours in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Small city investment has been a cornerstone of your administration. The lessons learned from recreating a lively and livable downtown Philadelphia are now being used to transform downtown districts all over the Commonwealth. The impact is already visible in Wilkes-Barre. Your downtown initiatives have created an enhanced quality of student life for all of the graduates who sit before you. Whether it is the downtown streetlights program, your $5.2 million investment in our River Common, your administration's advocacy to make possible the sale of the Call Center to Wilkes to create our University Center on Main, or the ambitious theater project all of these initiatives have worked together to create a resilient and energized downtown. Generous not only to Wilkes-Barre, your irsight, instincts and unflagging loyalty have resulted in decisions flor Northeastem Pennsylvania that will impact us positively for generations to come. Yours is a positive message that has enabled us as a region and a Commonwealth to look beyond our barriers and reach our fullest potential. With enormous appreciation for your distinguished service to the Commonwealth, we celebrate your unwavering commitment to Pennsylvania's success and your vision that all of her citizens should be able to live in dignity, with optimism and good health. By the power vested in me by the Board of Tiustees of Wilkes University, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I hereby confer upon you, Edward G. Rendell, the doctorate of laws, Honoris Causa, with all the rights and privileges thereto appertaining. .{ ! l 1 l I �AWARDS THE MABLE SCOTT WANDELL AND STERLING LEROY WANDELL AWARDS These awards are presented to the a,terage Jor K.
