The National AnthemTHE STAR SPANGLED BANNERO say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fightO’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in airGave proof through the night that our flag was still there.O say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet waveO’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?ALMA MATERARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITYWhere the bold saguarosRaise their arms on high,Praying strength for brave tomorrowsFrom the western sky;Where eternal mountainsKneel at sunset’s gate,Here we hail thee, Alma Mater,Arizona State.—Hopkins-DresskellMaroon and GoldFight, Devils down the fieldFight with your might and don’t ever yieldLong may our colors outshine all othersEcho from the buttes, Give em’ hell Devils!Cheer, cheer for A-S-U!Fight for the old MaroonFor it’s Hail! Hail! The gang’s all hereAnd it’s onward to victory!Students whose names appear in this programhave completed degree requirements.

12C OMME N C EME N TS P EA K E RArne S. DuncanU.S. Secretary of EducationArne Duncan is the ninth U.S. secretary of education. He has served in this postsince his confirmation by the U.S. Senate on January 20, 2009, following hisnomination by President Barack Obama.Duncan's tenure as secretary has been marked by a number of significantaccomplishments on behalf of American students and teachers. He helped to securecongressional support for President Obama’s investments in education, including theAmerican Recovery and Reinvestment Act's 100 billion to fund 325,000 teachingjobs; increases in Pell grants; reform efforts such as Race to the Top and Investingin Innovation; and interventions in low-performing schools. Additionally, he hashelped secure an additional 10 billion to avoid teacher layoffs, the elimination ofstudent loan subsidies to banks, and a 500 million national competition for earlylearning programs. Under Duncan’s leadership at the Department, the Race to theTop program has the incentives, guidance, and flexibility it needs to support statereforms. The Department also has focused billions of dollars to transform strugglingschools, prompting nearly 1,000 low-performing schools nationwide to recruit newstaff, adopt new teaching methods, and add learning time. He has led new effortsto encourage labor and management to work together as never before, and theirnew collaboration is helping to drive reform, strengthen teaching, create bettereducational options, and improve learning. During Duncan’s tenure, the Departmenthas launched a comprehensive effort to transform the teaching profession.In support of President Obama’s goal for the United States to produce the highestpercentage of college graduates by the year 2020, Duncan has helped secureincreases in the Pell grant program to boost the number of young Americansattending college and receiving postsecondary degrees. He has begun new efforts toensure that colleges and universities provide more transparency around graduation,job placement, and student loan default rates. With the income-based repaymentprogram introduced during Duncan’s tenure, student loan payments are beingreduced for college graduates in low-paying jobs, and loans will be forgiven after10 years for persons in certain public service occupations, such as teachers, policeofficers and firefighters.Before becoming secretary of education, Duncan served as the chief executiveofficer of the Chicago Public Schools (CPS), a position he held from June 2001through December 2008. In that time, he won praise for uniting education reformers,teachers, principals and business stakeholders behind an aggressive educationreform agenda that included opening more than 100 new schools, expanding afterschool and summer learning programs, closing down underperforming schools,increasing early childhood and college access, dramatically boosting the caliberof teachers, and building public-private partnerships around a variety of educationinitiatives. Duncan is credited with significantly raising student performance on
13national and state tests, increasing graduation rates and the numbers of studentstaking Advanced Placement courses, and boosting the total number of scholarshipssecured by CPS students to more than 150 million. Also during his leadershipof CPS, the district was recognized for its efforts to bring top teaching talent intothe city’s classrooms, where the number of teachers applying for positions almosttripled.T HEUNIVERSITYME D ALOFE X C ELLE N C EThe University Medal of Excellence honors innovative leaders who have workedto advance awareness and action on issues that affect the well-being and positivedevelopment of their communities.

WrigleyJulie Ann Wrigley has long been interested in conservation; she has wanted to doher part to ensure that future generations would have the same quality of life that hergeneration has enjoyed. That was her intention when she went to law school in theearly 1970’s.“I thought I would go into the corporate world and help corporations understandtheir responsibility for the environment,” she says. “But in 1975, there was no suchthing. Corporate responsibility for the environment developed years later.”Today, as a successful businesswoman and philanthropist, she has found a wayto give back—or, more accurately, to invest in the future.
