COMMENCEMENTI SPRING2022THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNERUAA ALMA MATEROh, say, can you see,By the dawn’s early light,What so proudly we hailedAt the twilight’s last gleaming?Whose broad stripes and bright stars,Through the perilous fight,O’er the ramparts we watched,Were so gallantly streaming?And the rockets’ red glare,The bombs bursting in air,Gave proof through the nightThat our flag was still there.Oh, say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet waveO’er the land of the freeAnd the home of the brave?Francis Scott KeyALASKA’S FLAG SONGEight stars of gold on a field of blue,Alaska’s flag, may it mean to you;The blue of the sea, the evening sky,The mountain lakes and the flow’rs nearby;The gold of the early sourdough’s dreams,The precious gold of the hills and streams;The brilliant stars in the northern sky,The “Bear,” the “Dipper,” and, shining high,The great North Star with its steady light,O’er land and sea a beacon bright,Alaska’s flag to Alaskans dear,The simple flag of a last frontier.MUSICUniversity SingersChristabel SosaLydia SmithJaden ReedBenji WredeConducted by Dr. Grant Cochran, Professor of Musicii

COMMENCEMENTI SPRING2022HONORARY DEGREE AWARDVELMA WALLISHonorary Doctor of Humane LettersBringing the stories of Alaska to the world, the writing of Velma Wallis hasbroadened our connection with the wider community. Wallis draws from herGwich’in Athabaskan tradition and upbringing, translating rare oral stories orsharing deeply personal experiences to weave tales compelling to contemporaryreaders.Growing up in Fort Yukon, Wallis lived for years in her late father’s hunting cabin,subsisting on what the land and the river provided. Her mother taught her traditional skills and stories.These experiences form the basis for her best-selling books.Wallis’s first book, 1993’s Two Old Women — which has been translated into 17 languages — and secondbook, 1996’s Bird Girl and the Man Who Followed the Sun, were groundbreaking novels about Athabaskanstruggle and survival. Wallis broke the mold for her third book, 2003’s Raising Ourselves, writing a memoirdetailing her hard-scrabble upbringing.Wallis was a recipient of the Western States Book Award in 1993, the Pacific Northwest BooksellersAssociation Award in 1994 and the American Book Award in 2003. Perhaps most importantly, Wallis’sbooks have given future Alaska Native writers permission to explore the traditions, legends and morecritical aspects of their cultures.2
COMMENCEMENTI SPRING2022HONORARY DEGREE AWARDANNE ZINKHonorary Doctor of Humane LettersIn Alaska, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the hashtag #ThinkLikeZink was trendingon social media and became the mantra of health professionals across the stateas they looked to Anne Zink, chief medical officer for the Alaska Department ofHealth and Social Services (DHSS), for guidance. Zink’s in good company with otherhealth leaders across the country who garnered social media followings during thepandemic, but it was her calm demeanor, ability to communicate effectively andrelatability in a time of uncertainty that earned her praise.Working with state officials, she created effective, data-driven policies to successfully slow the explosivenature of the COVID-19 virus and helped coordinate a statewide vaccination campaign, which for monthswas the most successful for the U.S. for per capita vaccinations, and to date Alaska has one of the fewestdeaths per capita due to COVID-19.Originally from Colorado and the daughter of doctors, Zink saw firsthand the transformative power ofmedicine. After earning her medical degree from Stanford University and performing her residency in Utah,she moved with her husband to Palmer in 2010 and began work as the emergency medical director for theMat-Su Regional Medical Center. Focusing on improving patient health and cost savings for the region’smost vulnerable residents, Zink helped create the High-Utilizer Mat-Su (HUMS) program. Even as thepandemic started to take hold at the end of 2019, Zink was still working shifts in the emergency room.It was her emergency room experience that prepared her for the maelstrom the pandemic would leave inits wake. In an April 2020 Alaska Public Media article, Zink said her ER work allowed her to see the holesin Alaska’s health care system and policies. Her desire to make actionable change launched her into thepolitical sphere and ultimately made her the best candidate for the chief medical officer for the state.Zink subscribes to the “party of health” when asked of her political affiliation. Her work leading the statethrough an unprecedented pandemic exemplifies her unwavering commitment to Alaska residents’ health inevery corner of the state.3
COMMENCEMENTI SPRING2022MERITORIOUS SERVICE AWARDTINA DELAPPMeritorious Service AwardSince arriving in Alaska in 1969 to work in Bethel, Tina DeLapp, professor emeritaand former director of the UAA School of Nursing, has advocated for nursingeducation throughout the state. Her enduring legacy and commitment to studentsremains engraved on a plaque outside the Health Sciences Building of the TinaDeLapp Lecture Hall, dedicated to her in 2011, and honors her “.tireless pursuit ofnursing education excellence ” at UAA.DeLapp’s teaching career in nursing began at Alaska Methodist College in 1975 before the school’s closure.She was instrumental in facilitating the transition of the nursing education program to UAA and hasprovided her leadership expertise in sustaining and shaping the program ever since.Drawing upon her extensive experience working in rural and urban Alaska, DeLapp used her nursingnetwork community to grow and enhance UAA’s nursing program, considering health industry needs anddesigning a curriculum specifically for nurses working in Alaska. Her diverse leadership roles throughout her30-year career at UAA included working as a team coordinator, assistant, associate and full professor, andassociate dean and director. Even after her retirement as director of the School of Nursing in 2004, DeLappremained active within the program as an instructor and program coordinator, on search committees andoffering her skills in preparation for a program self-study.Throughout her career, DeLapp remained heavily involved at UAA and in the nursing community byparticipating in professional development programs, providing her professional expertise throughpresentations across the state and nationally, and providing mentorship for School of Nursing studentsthrough thesis and dissertation committees.DeLapp’s extensive reach and contribution to nursing education throughout Alaska are unparalleled.She has been honored with a number of awards, including her induction as a fellow into the AmericanAcademy of Nursing. In 2020, DeLapp, with fellow UAA nursing faculty, established the Nursing EndowedScholarship to provide tuition assistance and related educational expenses to students enrolled in a nursingprogram at UAA or any community campus across the state. Not only has DeLapp been an effective leaderthroughout her lengthy career, but she continues to demonstrate her dedication and commitment toexpanding nursing education in Alaska for students now and for years to come.4
COMMENCEMENTI SPRING2022MERITORIOUS SERVICE AWARDERNIE HALLMeritorious Service AwardDuring his time at UAA, Ernie Hall served as a member of the Chancellor’s AdvisoryBoard for more than 10 years. As one of the few members to work with multiplechancellors, Hall helped reshape the board to move beyond providing communityinput to being more proactive in assisting the chancellor and university leadership toaccomplish goals.As a member of the Anchorage Assembly, Hall brought his leadership and businessexperience as the owner of his own furniture store since 1971. He was an early member of the Success by6 board for early childhood development and continued his involvement with Best Beginnings. Additionally,United Way of Anchorage benefited greatly from his input on its board.More recently, Hall almost single-handedly led the fundraising for the Anchorage Memorial Park Cemeterybell tower in downtown Anchorage. He has been a proactive voice for the Anchorage Park Foundation,which contributes about 20% of its funds and around 100,000 volunteer hours to Anchorage parks, trailsand annual projects.Hall’s various efforts have resulted in many awards and recognition throughout the state, including the titleof Alaskan of the Year, a Mayor’s Distinguished Leader Award, a spot on the Top 25 Most Influential Peoplein Alaska list, a First Lady’s Volunteer Award and the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce Gold Pan Award,among many others. Hall’s efforts to serve our community continue to this day.5
COMMENCEMENTTIA HALEI SPRING2022WELCOMEGraduate Student SpeakerTia Hale used to think she missed an opportunity to do two things when her family relocatedto Oregon in 1997: attend UAA, where she roamed the halls as a kid during summer camps,and work at the current Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC), which she watched being builtbefore her family’s move.“If you asked me 10 years ago if I would be back in Anchorage, I would have said that I want tobut don’t know how that would happen,” said Hale. “Now that it’s real, I’m so happy for me, formy family, for my community and for my tribe. I feel like a salmon that left and returned home.”Born in Anchorage, Hale’s parents worked at ANMC prior to the opening of its new campus in Anchorage’s U-MedDistrict in 1997. Her father was chief operating officer while also serving as a captain with the Commissioned Corpsof the U.S. Public Health Service, and her mother worked as a secretary in maternal child health.After finishing high school in Beaverton, Hale enrolled at Oregon State University in Corvallis and graduated with anundergrad degree in exercise sports science. She planned on a career in athletics that peripherally connected to herheritage of health care professionals. As time went on, the call to not only pursue nursing grew stronger, but to alsoreturn to Alaska.“When I moved back, I realized how much more influence I had and how much more my voice could carry,” said Hale.“I had more of a sense of purpose. I knew this was where I needed to be to make a difference.”Before returning home, Hale earned a nursing undergrad degree from George Fox University. She worked in Salem,Oregon, and Spokane, Washington, before moving back to Anchorage with her husband in 2017. Once home andperhaps making up for lost time, she quickly checked off both the opportunities she feared she missed: landing aposition at ANMC in the labor and delivery wing and enrolling at UAA to become a family nurse practitioner.Additionally, desiring to be more connected to her mother’s tribe, Hale joined the Eklutna Community Clinic aschairman where she worked with tribal leaders to chart the future of their clinic while addressing the public healthneeds of their community. Her expertise and leadership have been especially helpful while navigating the COVID-19pandemic and the constant challenges and new norms associated with it.“I never considered myself a leader,” said Hale. “But [at UAA] we talked about our roles as nurse practitioners andhow we have to take leadership roles to make change. It’s an honor to stand with a community that provides so muchsupport to the state and is willing to invest in us.”This August, Hale will begin a new dream job at Southcentral Foundation in inpatient pediatrics. She has also taken apage from her father’s book and applied to join the Commissioned Corps as a public health officer.As the spring 2022 graduate student speaker, Hale hopes that her story — changing career paths, moving away,returning home, and raising two children while pursuing a graduate degree — provides her classmates with a sense ofshared optimism about the path ahead.“We’re all going to make a huge difference with this new beginning because of what we’ve had to face in the lastthree years,” said Hale. “That’s exciting for us individually, for our families and for our community, and so I’m excitedto be part of that.”6
COMMENCEMENTI SPRING2022WELCOMETERESA NOVAKOVICHStudent SpeakerTeresa Novakovich’s journey as an undergrad began 35 years ago. Shortly afterwalking onto UAA’s campus, Novakovich married and left school to raise a family.She raised five children, ran a small family business with her husband until 2017 andunexpectedly stumbled upon a job she realized could become a career.After the family business closed, Novakovich needed a job quickly. She was referredto an administrative assistant position with the South Central Alaska Area HealthEducation Center (SCAHEC). She fell in love with the work and mission of the localnonprofit. A few months into her new job, the nonprofit was looking to hire a health education coordinator.Novakovich’s previous experience in human resources landed her on the hiring committee. During thisprocess, she realized she was qualified for the job — and really wanted it. However, she needed to go backto school if she wanted her dream career.“I had a lot more to give and my lack of education was really putting a ceiling on how much I could give andhow much I could do,” she said. “Even though I had the knowledge and the experience, in order to get in thedoor or have those opportunities, I had to have that degree.”Novakovich enrolled at UAA, and after meeting with an advisor and discussing possible degree tracks,settled on sociology. It was a perfect match. The further she progressed through her program, the moreinterested and engaged she became and saw her degree’s real-world applications in her professional life.“It’s been really amazing, my education has opened so many doors,” said Novakovich. “I’m now making anincome that supports my family, I’m in a really good spot right now. I am doing things professionally thathonestly I never thought I’d do.”A lot has changed in the last 35 years and over the previous five years while pursuing her degree. Now, inher late 50s, she’s realized an invaluable life lesson. It’s never too late.She hopes her story and that simple message resonate with her younger peers and nontraditionalclassmates. But even further than that, she hopes her message reaches and inspires someone in theaudience and that her experience encourages them to take that leap of faith to pursue higher education —no matter their age.7

COMMENCEMENTI SPRING 2022ACADEMIC TRADITIONSRobes, Mortarboards, HoodsAn academic legend tells of a wise old Greek who dressed his students in mason’s sackcloth robes withmortarboards because, “Their destiny is to build. Some will build cities, some will build lives – perhaps one ofthem will build an empire; but all will be builders on the solid foundation of knowledge.”Whether or not the ancient Greek dressed his students in sackcloth and mortarboard, the academic robesworn today by graduates and by faculty trace their beginnings to the mid-12th century, when small groupsstudied under the tutelage of a scholar (often a monk or priest). These students chose to dress in a robesimilar to that of their teacher. Through the centuries, this traditional scholarly dress did not change much.Each individual scholar donned special colors, fur and fabrics, as did his students. In contrast to those OldWorld customs, today’s academic robe has a basic organization that allows you to identify even more aboutthe scholar.Today’s scholars are the university faculty. They wear academic robes with colorful hoods reminiscent of themedieval monk’s cowl. The size and colors of the hood tell the observer what discipline the scholar pursuedand from which college or university he or she graduated.UAA master’s degree graduates will be receiving their hoods today, for they have gone beyond the bachelor’sdegree to learn more and become scholars. The University of Alaska Anchorage’s colors are gold and green,hence these colors on the hood. The velvet trim on the hood signifies the scholar’s field.Some colleges and universities use the soft beret, but the prevailing style of cap is the traditionalsquare mortarboard, decorated with a long tassel. You may notice some faculty wearing a softberet-style cap.It does not matter whether the tassel is worn on the left or right of the mortarboard, but it isoften customary to change the tassel to the other side after receiving the diploma. While you maynot be able to identify the origins of each specific academic robe and hood appearing in today’scommencement ceremony, you can reflect that from the certificate graduate in his black gown tothe Doctor of Philosophy, students and professors alike are paying homage to more than 800 yearsof academic tradition.University MaceThe grand marshal carries the University of Alaska Anchorage mace in the commencementprocession and places it in a stand on the stage during commencement ceremonies to signify theimportance of the occasion. The UAA Alumni Association commissioned the mace in 1990 andtwo talented UAA employees created it. Dr. Vern Oremus, former dean of UAA’s previous Collegeof Career and Vocational Education, used a lathe to create the wooden staff and head. AssociateProfessor of Art Mariano Gonzales designed and produced the sterling silver torch at the top of themace. The mace symbolizes UAA as a university of distinction and is traditionally entrusted to thefaculty in recognition of their critical role in the education of our students.10
