UMass Boston - Winter/Spring 2007-2008 - (Page 11) Students from the music program of Dorchester’s St. Mark School performed “Amazing Grace” before the ceremony began. Above: Fire and Police Department color guards and student flag-bearers led the academic procession from the Campus Center to the Clark Center inauguration site. Former chancellors Michael Collins and Sherry Penney presented the new chancellor with a framed copy of the “Statement of Purpose” composed by UMass Boston founders in 1965. After being presented with the Chancellor’s Medallion, Chancellor Motley gave his daughter Jordan a kiss. Trustee James Karam looked on. Chancellor Motley’s mother, Cornelia Williams, was among the honored—and delighted—guests. Left: Graduate Student Assembly President David Nieto joined other representatives of the faculty, staff, and student body in offering greetings to the new chancellor. UMass President Jack Wilson. Senator Edward M. Kennedy and Congressman Stephen Lynch sent their congratulations by video appearance. At moments, the ceremony felt like a roast, as mentors, friends, students, and colleagues greeted Motley with anecdotes and humor. “Never before,” said Wheelock College president Jackie Jenkins-Scott, “has the University of Massachusetts appointed a 6-foot-8-inch, 300-pound leader…truly a chancellor we can look up to.” And Motley’s college classmate Brian Johnson, now president of Montgomery College, teased him in a video about “stealing the show” at Johnson’s own recent inauguration. But touching tributes invariably followed the ribbing. “You have someone who wants to be here, who cares about you, and who is vested in you,” Connecticut university system chancellor David Carter told the audience, adding, “It doesn’t get any better than that. Believe me!” And Motley’s former college basketball coach, the legendary Jim Calhoun, said, “When I think of someone who defines ‘character’ to its fullest, I think of Keith Motley.” The ceremony ended with Motley himself, who electrified the crowd with a rousing speech that drew repeated applause. Afterwards, as professors and students went back to their classes, a sense of excitement and hope remained in the air and sweetened the rest of the day. —Julia Reischel and Jeffrey Mitchell umass boston n
