Commencement Speaker and Honorary Degree Recipient Dame Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell
Honorary Doctor of Science Dame Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell is an astrophysicist from Northern Ireland who, as a postgraduate student, co-discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967, which is noted as “one of the most significant scientific achievements of the 20th century.” The discovery was recognized by the award of the 1974 Nobel Prize in Physics, but even though she was the first to observe the pulsars, Bell was excluded from the recipients of the prize. The paper announcing the discovery of pulsars had five authors. Bell’s thesis supervisor, Antony Hewish, was listed first, Bell second. Hewish was awarded the Nobel Prize, along with the astronomer Martin Ryle. Many prominent astronomers criticized Bell’s omission.
professor at University College London (1974–82). She also taught at the Open University (1973–87) and worked at the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh (1982–91), before serving as professor of physics at the Open University (1991–2001). Bell Burnell was then appointed dean of science at the University of Bath (2001–04), after which she accepted a post as visiting professor at Oxford. In September 2018, Bell Burnell was awarded the Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics. Bell Burnell is donating the entire $3 million prize money to the U.K.’s Institute of Physics to support refugees, minorities, and women in the field, to fight “unconscious bias.” She has become an advocate for women and diversity in science. She became the first female president of the Institute of Physics (IoP) in 2008 and went on to become the first female president of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2014. In 2012, she chaired a working group for the Royal Society of Edinburgh whose goal was to increase the number of women in science, technology, and mathematics in Scotland.
Subsequent to her discovery, Bell Burnell taught at the University of Southampton (1970–73) before becoming a

Academic Regalia The style of academic regalia most commonly worn in the United States dates back to colonial times, although it was not formally adopted until near the end of the 19th century, when it was chosen as appropriate attire by the Intercollegiate Commission. It has remained the general standard in America since, although some variations occur at individual institutions. The gown The gown has become symbolic of the democracy of scholarship, because it covers any dress of rank or social standing. In the United States, black is the traditional color for academic gowns, although some institutions allow holders of doctoral degrees to wear robes in the university’s colors. Gowns have pointed sleeves for the bachelor’s degree, long closed sleeves with a slit in the arm or wrist for the master’s degree, and full bell double sleeves for the doctor’s degree. Bachelor’s and master’s degree gowns have no trimming. For the doctor’s degree, the gown is often faced down the front with velvet, with
three bars of velvet across the sleeves usually in black or of a color distinctive of the faculty or discipline to which the degree pertains. The cap When Roman law freed a slave, it accorded the privilege of wearing a cap. And so the academic cap is a sign of freedom of scholarship and the responsibility and dignity with which scholarship endows the wearer. The cap of scholarship is square to symbolize the book. The color of the tassel denotes the discipline. The hood The hood is trimmed with one or more chevrons of a secondary color on the ground of the primary color of the college. The color facing of the hood denotes the discipline represented by the degree; the color of the lining designates the university or college from which the degree was granted.

Song of Willamette Text compiled from the Freshman Glee archives and the Alma Mater. Music by Dylan Librande ’16. Ending adapted from Ode to Willamette by F.S. Mendenhall
Hail to our dear Willamette, to the card’nal and the gold. Glory to our Alma Mater blest with memories untold. Your teaching in the years to come will guide in all we do, and to your praise we’ll always sing, for we’re Willamette too.
So hail, our dear Willamette! Hail the car’nal and the gold! Glory to our Alma Mater blest with memories untold! Sing, oh, sing of dear Willamette, sing while hearts are young and true, sea to sea the chorus swelling. Hail to thee, Willamette U!
There are those who’ve gone before us, still more to carry on. Year by year we add new voices to swell our mighty song. Hopes and fears through out the year we’ll never face alone, for old Willamette we will hear you calling us back home.

Willamette University President Stephen E. Thorsett was raised in Salem. He earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics, summa cum laude, from Carleton College and his doctoral degree in physics from Princeton University. As an astrophysicist, he helped develop two of NASA’s orbiting telescopes, and he and his team discovered the oldest known planet, called Methuselah. He has held research and teaching positions at Caltech, Princeton and the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he was dean of the science
division and founder of their California Teach program for training new math and science teachers. Since 2011, Thorsett has been the president of Willamette University, where as a teenager he worked in the dishroom. At Willamette, his goals include strengthening the university’s historic connections to Oregon and the Northwest, solidifying its position as a leader in our region for rigorous, high quality undergraduate, management and legal education, and raising the resources needed to provide access to a Willamette education for the most talented high school graduates, regardless of their financial means. Thorsett lives in Salem with his wife, Rachel, also a physicist. Their daughter, Laura, is currently working with a research firm in Washington, D. C.

A United Methodist pastor and professor of sociology, he served as Willamette’s 22nd president from 1974-1980. As president, Lisensky led the university through formative changes, particularly related to campus facilities and grounds, including opening the doors of the new Graduate School of Administration, now known as the Atkinson Graduate School of Management.
Swindells was a Willamette University trustee from 1971 until 2001 when he became a Life Trustee. In his capacity as board chair from 1987 to 1995, he oversaw the sesquicentennial campaign, which exceeded its $50-million goal by $12 million. A generous supporter, his commitment to the university is reflected in buildings, scholarships and faculty support.
