Doctor of Science Honoris Causa

Reverend George V. Coyne, S.J.

B.S. and licentiate in philosophy, Fordham University, 1958
Ph.D., Georgetown University, 1962
STL, Woodstock College, 1965

In his career as an astronomer and Jesuit priest, the Reverend George V. Coyne, S.J., has promoted dialogue
between philosophy, theology, and the sciences. Through his encouragement of young scientists and
his research into young and old solar systems, he has endeavored to harmonize faith and science.

Coyne served as director of the Vatican Observatory for 28 years, launching research initiatives and promoting
the development of the Observatory Summer School program. He helped develop the research facilities at
Mt. Graham in Arizona and taught for many years in the University of Arizona Astronomy Department.

Coyne’s research specialties involve light polarization and the aging of stars, Seyfert galaxies, and cataclysmic
variables. The asteroid 14429 Coyne, discovered in 1991, is named for him. With Alessandro Omizzolo,
he published the book Wayfarers in the Cosmos: The Human Quest for Meaning.

He is president of the Vatican Observatory Foundation and an active member of the International
Astronomical Union, the American Astronomical Society, the Astronomical Society of the Pacific,
the American Physical Society, and the Optical Society of America. Last year, he was awarded
the George Van Biesbroeck Prize for long-term extraordinary and unselfish service to astronomy.

 Doctor of Humane Letters Honoris Causa

Bernard Osher Barbro Sachs-Osher

B.A., Bowdoin College, 1948 B.A., Stockholm University, 1963

Bernard and Barbro Osher have had an enormous influence on higher education,
integrative medicine, and the arts through their philanthropy in the United States and Sweden.

The Bernard Osher Foundation, founded in 1977, offers post-secondary scholarship funding
to colleges and universities across the nation, with special attention to re-entry students.
It supports the Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes, a national learning network for seasoned adults
operating on the campuses of 119 institutions, including Santa Clara University, and offers grants
to performing arts organizations, museums, and educational programs in northern California and in Maine.
The foundation also benefits programs in integrative medicine in the United States and Sweden.

In addition, the Oshers conduct philanthropy through the Bernard Osher Jewish Philanthropies Fund and the Barbro Osher
Pro Suecia Foundation, which supports Swedish cultural and educational projects in North America and Sweden.

Bernard Osher, founder and treasurer of the Bernard Osher Foundation, is a native of Biddeford, Maine.
Before moving to California, he pursued a career in business, beginning with the management of his family’s
hardware store and continuing with work at Oppenheimer & Company in New York. On the West Coast,
he became a founding director of World Savings, which merged with Wachovia Corporation. A collector of American
paintings, Bernard purchased the fine art auction house Butterfield & Butterfield in 1970 and oversaw its
growth to become the fourth largest auction house in the world. In 1999, he sold the company to eBay.

Barbro Osher, chair of the Bernard Osher Foundation and president of the Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation, is Consul
General of Sweden in California. She is the former owner and publisher of the Swedish-American newspaper Vestkusten.
A native of Stockholm, Barbro moved to the United States in the early 1980s. She has represented both the Royal Swedish
Academy of Engineering Sciences and the Swedish Tourist Board. She is the founder of the Swedish Women’s Educational
Association (SWEA) chapter in San Francisco and serves on the Boards of the University of California (Berkeley) Foundation
and the American-Scandinavian Foundation. In 2004 she was named SWEA International’s Woman of the Year.

 Doctor of Faith and Justice Honoris Causa

Ken Hackett
B.A. Boston College, 1968
President of Catholic Relief Services

As president of Catholic Relief Services, Ken Hackett guides one of the globe’s most effective and efficient relief
agencies. Under his leadership, CRS was one of the first responders to the devastating earthquake in Haiti, and has
since provided food for more than 100,000 people in Port-au-Prince and shelter for tens of thousands of Haitians.
After the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami hit India, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka, CRS launched a massive
reconstruction effort with $170 million in private donations from United States residents.

Hackett represents the ideals of Jesuit education through his exemplary leadership, his lifelong quest for social
justice, his commitment to human rights, and his contribution to fostering solidarity within the global community.

Hackett has led CRS since 1993. His career with the agency began in Sierra Leone in 1972 and he served CRS
throughout Africa and Asia, as well as in a variety of positions at CRS headquarters. He was the regional director
for Africa, guiding the response to the Ethiopian famine of 1984-85. He also supervised operations in
East Africa during the crisis in Somalia in the early 1990s. During Hackett’s tenure, CRS has embarked
on a concerted effort to engage the U.S. Catholic community in its work around the world.

Hackett has served as North America President of Caritas Internationalis, the confederation of humanitarian
agencies of the global Catholic Church. He is currently on the board of the Pontifical Commission Cor Unum,
the Vatican body that coordinates the Church’s charitable work; serves on committees for the U.S. Conference of
Catholic Bishops in Migration and Refugee Services as well as International Policy; and is a member of Maryland
Governor Martin O’Malley’s International Advisory Council. In 2004, Hackett was named a Knight
Commander of the Papal Order of Saint Gregory the Great, one of the highest Papal honors.

Santa Clara, Alma Mater, lo! Our hearts are pledged to thee.
El Dorado’s first-born daughter, who beside the western sea
where the palm and olive mingle, bade the torch of science burn,
when our footsteps bear us from thee, back to thee our hearts will turn.
This the mission bells are telling as exultingly they ring
“Santa Clara, Santa Clara, Alma Mater,” sweet they sing,
where the palm and olive mingle, proudly raise their heads on high
in the earliest fane of science, built beneath our western sky.
