Pacific Commencement 2017 HONORARY DEGREE James Patterson Doctor of Fine Arts, honoris causa James Patterson has created more enduring fictional characters than any other novelist writing today with his Alex Cross, Michael Bennett, Women’s Murder Club, Private, NYPD Red, Daniel X, Maximum Ride, and Middle School series As of January 2016, he has sold over 350 million books worldwide and currently holds the Guinness World Record for the most #1 New York Times bestsellers In addition to writing thriller novels for which he is best known, he also writes children’s, middle-grade, and young adult fiction and is also the first author to have #1 new titles simultaneously on the New York Times adult and children’s bestsellers lists The son of an insurance salesman and a schoolteacher, Patterson grew up in Newburgh, New York, and began casually writing at the age of nineteen In 1969, he graduated from Manhattan College He was given a full ride to Vanderbilt University’s graduate program in English, but dropped out after a year, knowing that he wouldn’t be able to continue reading and writing for pleasure if he became a college professor Instead, he moved to New York to become a junior copywriter for the advertising agency, J Walter Thompson, eventually becoming CEO of its North American company In 1976, while still working for J Walter Thompson, Patterson published his first novel, The Thomas Berryman Number, with Little, Brown and Company After being turned down by 31 publishers, it won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel Patterson’s 1993 novel, Along Came a Spider, his first novel to feature Alex Cross, was also his first New York Times bestseller in fiction In 2001, Morgan Freeman starred as Alex Cross in a film adaptation of Along Came a Spider and Tyler Perry also played the character in the 2012 film Alex Cross A film adaptation of Patterson’s middle-grade novel, Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life, will be released in theaters in October 2016 to public school libraries throughout the United States, $1 million to independent bookstores, and a further $250,000 in holiday bonuses to individual bookstore employees He also gave $1 million to independent bookstores in 2014 For his initiatives to help kids become passionate readers and his philanthropic efforts, Patterson was awarded the National Book Foundation’s 2015 Literarian Award for Outstanding Service to the American Literary Community Patterson has recently donated over $26 million dollars to his and his wife’s alma maters — the University of Wisconsin, Vanderbilt University, and Manhattan College — and he has established over four hundred Teacher Education Scholarships at twenty-four colleges and universities throughout the country, including at University of the Pacific Patterson has also donated over 650,000 books to U.S soldiers at home and overseas In May 2015, Patterson launched a new children’s book imprint at Little, Brown, called JIMMY Patterson, that is unwaveringly focused on one goal: turning kids into lifelong readers This imprint also provides resources, strategies and programs to serve teachers, parents, librarians and booksellers All of Patterson’s profits will be invested toward his philanthropy Patterson has also founded ReadKiddoRead.com, a website designed to help parents, teachers and librarians ignite a new generation’s excitement for reading Awarded the National Book Foundation’s Innovations in Reading Prize and the American Library Association’s Great Websites for Kids, the site features thoughtful book reviews from a variety of genres and age ranges, a large and lively Facebook community, and contributions from other authors Patterson’s awards for adult and children’s literature include the Edgar Award, the International Thriller of the Year Award, and the Children’s Choice Award for Author of the Year Patterson has donated more than one million books to students, emphasizing some of the most under-resourced schools and youth programs in the country In 2015, Patterson donated $1.75 million He lives in Palm Beach, Florida, with his wife, Sue, and his son, Jack Commencement 2017 University of the Pacific UNIVERSITY AWARDS

mace evolved by the 12th century into a symbolic device used on ceremonial occasions and borne before monarchs, mayors and parliaments The mace, as an academic symbol, dates back to the 15th century at the University of St Andrews in Scotland The use of maces as symbols of academic authority spread to other universities in the British Isles and from there to America Robert E Burns, Pacific president from 1946 to 1971, asked Stuart Devlin, an internationally-known London silver designer, to create University of the Pacific’s mace It was commissioned in recognition of the University’s transition from a college to a university and was first used at a Founders Day ceremony on March 6, 1966 Constructed entirely of silver with a gold plated seal of the University in its head, the mace weighs 15 pounds and is approximately four feet long It was a gift from Mrs Winifred Olson Raney, a Regent of the University The mace is displayed at all official University functions, including Commencement and Convocation It is traditionally carried by the chair of the Academic Council to symbolize the role of the faculty in university governance Commencement 2017 40 SCHOOL AND COLLEGE
