Deep in our hearts, a flame is softly burning.Deep in our thoughts, the mem’ries are returning.Bells that are ringing, choirs that are singing,Bring back the joys that we have known.Learning to live, and loving as we’re learning.Seeking to find the truths for which we’re yearning.Years come and go, but we’ll always knowThat dear old Roanoke served us well.To live once more, here in these hallowed halls.To know once again all the joys that we used to know!Some day the winter of life will pass before us.Then we’ll remember the place that proudly bore us.Then we’ll remember Alma Mater.Then we’ll remember Thee.THE BENEDICTIONRev.

HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENTD octor of S cienceDR. PETER JAY HOTEZDr. Peter Jay Hotez has devoted his professional career to developing vaccinesdesigned to attack a number of disease-causing human parasites. A physician-scientist,he and his research team have worked recently to develop a new COVID-19 vaccinethat can be distributed globally. To date, it has been administered to 30 million childrenin India.Through his writings and regular media appearances, Dr. Hotez has become aleading international voice defending vaccines against rising anti-science aggression.Since 2011, Dr. Hotez has occupied the Endowed Chair in Tropical Pediatrics at theTexas Children’s Hospital in Houston and is the University Professor of Biology atBaylor University. He is the founding Dean of the National School of Tropical Medicineand is Professor of Pediatrics and of Molecular Virology and Microbiology at BaylorCollege of Medicine. He also serves as the Co-Director of the Texas Children’sHospital Center for Vaccine Development.Born and raised in Hartford, Connecticut, Dr. Hotez began his public health careerat a young age, cultivating a precocious interest in parasitic diseases. He earned theB.A. degree (magna cum laude) from Yale University in 1980 before entering a medicalscience training program, earning the Ph.D. degree from Rockefeller University in 1986and the M.D. degree from Weill Cornell Medical College in 1987. Dr. Hotez returnedto Yale as a postdoctoral fellow, subsequently joining the faculty, and focused ondeveloping a vaccine to combat hookworm, an intestinal parasite afflicting one billionpeople worldwide, most residing in the poorest regions of the planet.From 2000 to 2011, while chairing the Department of Microbiology, Immunology, andTropical Medicine at the George Washington University Medical Center, Dr. Hotez workedto establish a global network for the treatment of parasitic afflictions that had previouslybeen called simply “other diseases.” He described them as “forgotten diseases amongforgotten people” and realized that they affected not only health, but also education andeconomic development. Creating the framework of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs),he focused on building awareness of NTDs in the scientific and medical communities.Among the many misunderstandings in the medical and scientific communities aboutNTDs is the belief that they afflict people only in poor countries. Dr. Hotez realizedthat NTDs affected poor people in substantial numbers in developed countries. Outof this realization came his concept of Blue Marble Health: incorporating a plan to aidthe thousands of impoverished individuals afflicted with NTDs who were living amongthe wealthy in G20 countries, including the United States.Dr. Hotez is the author or co-author of over 600 scholarly articles and four books,including Vaccines Did Not Cause Rachel’s Autism and his most recent, Preventing theNext Pandemic: Vaccine Diplomacy in a Time of Anti-Science. He is an elected memberof the National Academy of Medicine and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.He has received numerous awards, including the Scientific Achievement Award from theAmerican Medical Association, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s David E. RogersAward from the Association of American Medical Colleges, the McGovern Award from theAmerican Medical Writers Association, and the Popkin Award from the Anti-DefamationLeague. In 2022, Dr. Hotez has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize together withhis science partner at Texas Children’s Hospital for their COVID-19 vaccine work.Dr. Hotez lives in Houston with his wife, Ann. They have four adult children.
