Daring to Succeed.” Saturday April 18, 2015 3:00 pm UVI Great Hall 2 Lift Every Voice and Sing Lift every voice and sing Till earth and heaven ring Ring with the harmonies of liberty; Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won. Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chast'ning rod, Felt in the day that hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet, Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?

Albert A. Sheen Campus 41st Academic Awards Ceremony “Standing Inspired. Daring to Succeed.” Saturday April 18, 2015 3:00 pm UVI Great Hall 2  Lift Every Voice and Sing Lift every voice and sing Till earth and heaven ring Ring with the harmonies of liberty; Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won. Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chast'ning rod, Felt in the day that hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet, Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our star is cast. God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus far on our way; Thou who has by thy might, led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee, Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee, Shadowed beneath the hand, May we forever stand, True to our God, true to our native land. 3  Musical Prelude  Master  of Ceremonies  Mr. Marthious Clavier Opening Prayer……………………….………...Dr.  Paul Fleming  “Black National Anthem”…………………...... UVI  Voices of  Inspiration  Community Choir  “VI March”……………….……….... UVI Voices of  Inspiration  Community  Choir  Welcome and Remarks …..………….... Dr.  Camille McKayle   Provost and Vice President for Academic  Affairs   Master Professor Presentation ……...Dr. Camille  McKayle  Keynote Address ………………………..…...Dr.  Valerie Combie  Presentation of Awards  Dance Presentation ……………….…..…… Ms.  Deidre DuBois  4  Master Professor Awarded to  Dr. Valerie Combie Valerie Knowles Combie, PhD is an Associate Professor in the College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences.

All hail the Virgin Islands, Bathe in waters blue, We give our loyalty, Full to thee, And pledge allegiance forever true. God bless our Virgin Islands, Humbly now we pray, Where all mankind can join today In friendly warmth of work and play. God bless our Virgin Islands, Beautiful and tall. Beneath a sunny sky, Hilltops high Hold out a welcome for one and all. “Standing Inspired. Daring to Succeed.” 15  Historically American...Uniquely Caribbean...Globally  Interactive  RR1, Box 10000, Kingshill, VI 00850­9781  www.uvi.edu
