Marc Brown

Marc Brown is the author and illustrator of the New York Times bestselling Arthur Adventure Series and executive producer of Arthur on PBS. The show has won seven Emmys, the Peabody Award, the 2019 Television Critics Award and is now the longest running children’s animated show in history. The Arthur books have sold more than 80 million copies, and the show is seen by children all around the world. His newest preschool animated series HOP is now streaming on Max.

Arthur was born one night when his young son, Tolon, asked for a bedtime story about a weird animal. The story was about an aardvark who disliked his nose, and it became the first book in the Arthur Adventure Series.

Marc is married to psychologist and artist Laurie Krasny Brown, EdD. They divide their time between New York City and a small farm on Martha’s Vineyard. They have three grown children and a cat named Romeo, currently on dietary restrictions.

A Note on Academic Processions

Commencement is the most formal convocation held by the University and begins with a procession led by our faculty marshal who carries the University’s ceremonial mace. The mace carried today has been in use on our campus since 1982. It is a staff ornamented with a sheaf of gold rods and a golden sphere. The sphere, engraved with the symbols of the University, identifies our relationship to the Christian church. The lamp of learning symbolizes our academic mission; three crosses of Calvary; a towel, basin, and pitcher represent Christian servitude; and a Celtic cross represents outreach.

Following the marshal in the processional are representatives of the Board of Trustees, senior administrators and faculty members arranged by rank and seniority. The robes worn by members of the University faculty and administration

Graduating Class Gift
