J. Bernard “Bernie” Machen was 

appointed as the 11th president of the University of 

Florida in October 2003. He assumed his duties on 

January 5, 2004. Prior to coming to Gainesville, he 

served six years as the president of the University of 

Utah. 

Dr. Machen was born in Greenwood, Mississippi, 

but he grew up in St. Louis. After attending 

Vanderbilt University for his undergraduate studies, 

he earned his doctor of dental surgery degree from 

St. Louis University, and his master of science in 

pediatric dentistry and Ph.D. in educational psychology 

from the University of Iowa. He received 

distinguished alumnus awards from the University of 

Iowa and St. Louis University. 

He served as professor and associate dean at the 

University of North Carolina’s School of Dentistry 

from 1983 to 1989, and was president of the American 

Association of Dental Schools in 1987. 

Prior to his appointment at Utah, he was 

provost and executive vice president for academic 

affairs at the University of Michigan from 1995 to 

1997 and served as dean of the University of Michigan 

School of Dentistry from 1989 until 1995. From 

1992 to 1995, he also served as a member of the 

National Academy of Science’s Institute of Medicine 

Committee on Educating Dentists for the Future. 

Previous responsibilities included senior academic 

and clinical positions at the University of 

North Carolina at Chapel Hill, including associate 

dean of the university’s School of Dentistry; and an 

appointment as chief of the Department of Extension 

Services at the U.S. Army Institute of Dental 

Research, Walter Reed Army Medical Center in 

Washington, D.C. He is a Diplomate of the American 

Board of Pediatric Dentistry and a fellow of the 

American College of Dentists. 

Since arriving in Florida, he has been active on 

the boards of directors of Shands Healthcare, 

Gainesville Chamber of Commerce (ex-officio), and 

Oak Hammock. 

At UF, he has made campus-community interactions 

a top priority, seeking an even stronger UF 

commitment to community activities. 

Dr. Machen also has made building strong 

relations with the Florida legislature an early hallmark 

of his tenure, and he has traveled throughout 

the state to meet with representatives of the many 

organizations and communities who look to the university 

for leadership and service. 

A veteran U.S. Army major, Dr. Machen and 

his wife, Chris, have two sons and a daughter. 

ourDean 

Neil S. Sullivan became dean of the College of 

Liberal Arts and Sciences in July 2001. His appointment 

followed a national nine-month search, during 

which Dr. Sullivan served as interim dean of the college. 

Dr. Sullivan and his wife Robyn are natives of New 

Zealand. He received his bachelor of science and master 

of science degrees in physics from Otago University in 

New Zealand in 1964 and 1965, respectively. He was a 

Frank Knox Memorial Scholar at Harvard University 

from 1965–1970 and completed his Ph.D. at Harvard 

in 1972. For the next 10 years, he was a research physicist 

at the Centre d’Etudes Nucleaires in France. While in 

Paris, Dr. Sullivan and his students discovered the 

quadrupolar glass phase of solid hydrogen. He came to 

UF in 1983 as a physics professor and served as chair of 

the department from 1989–1999. Under his leadership, 

the New Physics Building was completed in 1997. He is a 

co-founder of the Microkelvin Research Laboratory at 

UF, which is the largest ultra-low temperature laboratory 

in the world. He was named CLAS associate dean of 

research in 1999 and served in that position until

About the Cap & Gown 

At the University of Florida, the lining of the master’s and Ph.D. hood 

has a blue chevron on an orange background to represent the university 

colors. University faculty members who hold degrees from another college 

or university wear the colors of their alma mater. 

The velvet edging on the master’s hood represents the particular 

degree held by the wearer. Liberal Arts is white and Liberal Sciences is 

gold-yellow. The velvet edging on the Ph.D. hood is blue. 

Each degree level equates to differences in the gown. Bachelor gowns 

have standard sleeves. Master gowns have oblong-shaped sleeves with 

wrist openings. Ph.D. gowns have bell sleeves with velvet chevrons on 

the sleeves. 

Master’s and Ph.D. tassels are black. Undergraduate tassels are white 

for bachelor of arts and gold-yellow for bachelor of science. 

The undergraduate costume also may include honors cords. Each 

orange and blue pair of cords corresponds to a level of honors: three 

pairs represent summa cum laude (highest honors); two pairs represent 

magna cum laude (high honors); and one pair represents cum laude (honors). 

Diplomas 

Diplomas will be mailed to the graduate’s permanent home address in 

approximately eight weeks.

UF Distinguished Alumnus Byong Man Ahn 

Distinguished Alumnus Byong Man Ahn is 

recognized as a national leader in South 

Korea and throughout the world for his 

innovative approach to language instruction 

and research in area studies. The 1974 political 

science Ph.D. graduate’s distinguished 

40-year career is marked by his in-depth 

studies of government, economics and culture, 

as well as his monumental contributions 

to education and university leadership. 

Dr. Ahn was born in Seoul, Korea and 

earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in 

law from Seoul National University in 1964 

and 1967, respectively. After teaching in the 

Department of Public Administration at 

Myong-Ji University in Seoul from 

1967–1970, he was a Fulbright Scholar in 

1970 in Korea. The Fulbright program recommended 

UF’s Ph.D. program in political 

science, and Dr. Ahn made the decision to 

come to Gainesville. 

He finished his doctoral degree in three 

years and maintained a perfect 4.0 grade point 

average. After returning to Korea in 1975, he 

joined the faculty of Hankuk University of Foreign 

Studies in Seoul, one of the premier institutions 

of higher education in Korea. He has 

served the university in numerous roles, 

including professor in the Department of Public 

Administration, dean of Student Affairs 

(1978–1980), dean of the Office and Planning 

and Coordination (1988–1992), vice president 

and dean of the Graduate School (1992–1994) 

and president (1994–1998 and 2002–present). 

He is the first president elected to serve a second 

four-year term, and during his tenure he 

has developed top-notch programs, including 

the Department of Information and Communication, 

the Graduate School of Global Business 

and the Campus Faculty Research Center. 

Dr. Ahn was a Fulbright Scholar in 

political science at the University of Delaware 

from 1981–1982 and a visiting professor at 

Harvard University from 1981–1993. He has 

distinguished himself for his studies of the 

political attitudes and policies of his native 

South Korea and its relationships to the 

United States. He has published numerous 

articles and books in Korean and English, 

including Elections in Korea (1987), which 

received the Korean Political Science Association’s 

Book of the Year Award. He also 

received an honorary doctorate of humane 

letters from the University of Delaware in 

2004. 

He has served as president of the Korean 

University Presidents Association, the Association 

for Public Administration, the Korean 

Fulbright Alumni Association and the Korean 

Gator Club. 

In 2004, Dr. Ahn returned to UF to sign a cooperative 

agreement between the university and Hankuk University, 

providing for the exchange of faculty and students. He says his 

most memorable professor and course at UF was Political Science 

Professor Alfred Clubok and his Scope and Methodology 

of Political Science class. “Dr. Clubok taught me how to look 

at reality and how to raise questions to all issues,” says Dr. 

Ahn. “He emphasized that the way to seek answers is through 

scientific inquiry.” 

CLAS Distinguished Scholar John Thompson 

Among the many academic scholars in the 

College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Graduate 

Research Professor of Mathematics 

John G. Thompson is one of the most distinguished, 

earning the Fields Medal in 1970, 

the highest prize in mathematics, equivalent 

in prestige to the Nobel Prize. In honor of 

his many achievements throughout his 46- 

year career, the college has selected him as 

the first recipient of the CLAS Distinguished 

Scholar Award. The award was created this 

year by CLAS Dean Neil S. Sullivan to honor 

the lifetime achievements of outstanding faculty 

members. 

Thompson’s career began at Yale University, 

where he entered as a theology major 

and intended to become a Presbyterian minister. 

He credits a college roommate for 

helping spark his interest in math. “One of 

my undergraduate roommates was a pre-med 

student and was reading Gamow’s book, One, 

Two, Three…Infinity, and I started reading it. 

Math started to really interest me.” 

After receiving his Ph.D. in 1959 from 

the University of Chicago, Thompson worked 

as an assistant professor at Harvard University 

and then as a professor at the University of 

Chicago. He was appointed Rouse Ball Professor 

at the University of Cambridge in England 

in 1970, where he spent the next 23 

years before coming to UF in 1993. 

Thompson’s research focuses on group 

theory, a branch of mathematics that studies 

symmetries, such as those that arise in geometry 

and in the solutions to algebraic equations. 

He is noted in the field for collaborating 

with fellow mathematician Walter Feit to 

solve one of its most difficult problems. The 

two worked on the “odd order” problem and 

wrote a 253-page proof that comprised an 

entire issue of the Pacific Journal of Mathematics. 

This achievement won Thompson the Fields 

Medal. 

In 2001, Thompson received the 

National Medal of Science from former U.S. 

President Bill Clinton in a special ceremony 

at the White House. According to the 

National Science Foundation, which administers 

the awards, Thompson is “considered a 

world leader in algebra and a foremost group 

theorist.” 

Krishnaswami Alladi, UF math department 

chair, refers to Thompson as the 

“crown jewel of our department.” He also 

John Thompson (left) received the National Medal of Science from Neil 

Lane, scientific advisor to President Clinton, in December 2000. 

explains how Thompson’s work in group theory has had a 

profound impact on shaping modern mathematics in general, 

and algebra in particular. “Thompson’s name is closely associated 

with one of the monumental achievements of the 20th 

century, namely the classification of the finite simple groups, 

which was completed in the 1980s. His record of sustained 

research activity at the highest level for four decades is a rarity 

even among Fields medalists.”

Following today’s commencement, many graduates and their 

families will no doubt flock to Amelia’s Italian restaurant in 

downtown Gainesville to celebrate. But this year, 70-year-old 

waiter Donald Rosenberg will not be there to serve them. 

Instead, he will be celebrating his own success after receiving 

a Ph.D. in Romance languages and literatures. After 52 years 

in the restaurant business, he’s starting a new life. 

Born and raised in Boston, Rosenberg dropped out of 

high school on his 16th birthday. He immediately left home 

and began supporting himself as a busboy and, after two 

years, was promoted to waiter and has not changed careers 

since. It was not until age 46 that he decided to earn his 

GED. A few years later, he began taking courses at Palm 

Beach Community College in West Palm Beach, enrolling in 

classes that interested him, such as French literature and 

classical music. 

“I love to read and research and study, but only on my 

own terms at my own pace,” Rosenberg says. After two 

years, he had accumulated so many credits that an associate’s 

degree was easily within grasp. He earned an AA in 

1987, and then moved on to Florida Atlantic University, where 

he received a BA in languages and linguistics in 1989 and a 

master’s in the same discipline in 1991. “Then I thought, I’m 

not going to stop now,” he says. “I’m going to go for everything!” 

He was accepted into UF’s Ph.D. program in Romance 

languages and literatures in 1992 and decided to concentrate 

on Spanish literature. 

Rosenberg’s dissertation is on the use of paradox in the 

writings of Miguel De Unamuno, a writer and philosopher 

from the Basque Region of Spain who lived from 1864 to 

1936, and who served as president of the University of Salamanca. 

Rosenberg worked under the guidance of dissertation 

chair Montserrat Alás-Brun, an associate professor of Spanish. 

For more than eight of the 13 years Rosenberg has lived in 

Gainesville, he has supported himself working as a part-time 

waiter at Amelia’s. Following graduation, however, he plans to 

begin his job search and start a new life for himself. 

“I have been trying to change the attitude that a person’s 

ability is commensurate to a number on a calendar,” he 

says. “The majority of people as they reach their last years 

internalize these societal attitudes, so they tell themselves 

that they cannot do this or that because they are of a certain 

age. I think this is very tragic because a lifetime of experience 

is something that should not go to waste.”

Alma Mater 

by Milton Yeats 

Florida, Our Alma Mater, 

Thy glorious name we praise. 

All thy loyal sons and daughters 

A joyous song shall raise. 

Where palm and pine are blowing, 

Where southern seas are flowing, 

Shine forth thy noble Gothic walls, 

Thy lovely vine clad halls. 

‘Neath the orange and blue victorious, 

Our love shall never fail. 

There’s no other name so glorious, 

All hail, Florida, hail! 

About UF 

The University of Florida traces its origins to 

1853 when the state-funded East Florida Seminary 

acquired the private Kingsbury Academy in Ocala, 

Florida. After the Civil War, the seminary was 

moved to Gainesville. It was consolidated with the
